It was approved like 2 years ago to take some portion of what used to be marked as "team funds" and allocate it to the SoulKeep game. It's almost halfway through distribution now... but a couple years worth iirc.

I've asked if we can work out some details when he gets a chance, keep in mind they're basically in crunch trying to fix all the bugs we're reporting with the launch and process all of that feedback. They're a bit busy, but I'll do my best. Keep in mind, even if this passes, there's nothing stopping another proposal to stop the rewards if we aren't satisfied with the DEC burns.

I feel like you talk trash in every post instead of being constructive at all. If you really hate the game that much then why do you continue to waste your time and try and talk it down. Like get over it already my dude it's going to be ok 🤣

Because DAO is allocating 1M SPS as rewards for Soulkeep. 

Don't worry about it lol. 1M of $0 is still $0. Sps is worthless. That 1M is with less than $8k 🤣 atm. In a year from now it’ll probably just be worth $800. So don't stress about it.

There aren't really much in the way of details at this point. They're in the middle of launching a game and trying to rapidly fix bugs etc. I expressed the concerns to their CEO and made time to discuss it with me and agreed to let me run this proposal. They'll add in the DEC burns if this proposal passes. My suggestion was they should just charge more for things in SoulKeep and burn the extra DEC.

I've made them aware people have requested to stop rewards. 

This proposal is my attempt to find a viable solution that works with the model they ended up going with for the game. Basically they're going to need to work in DEC burns for there income streams. I suggested essentially charging more and burning the difference. The previous proposal was designed around a ranked system like Splinterlands has, which doesn't work with the 10 league tournament thing they designed. If they don't work in DEC burns that people feel are worthwhile we would just make a proposal to stop the SPS rewards anyway. 

Agree 100%. 
Stop rewards until we can see clear numbers. Then vote on something else.
Then start rewards once again.

well if the proposal we voted on hasn't been delivered yet, wouldn't it still be operating on the "distribute SPS for packs held" model?

As I said elsewhere, looks like we are headed to uncharted waters with this vote... better bring a life jacket - just in case :D

Yea there's some quirks to work out 100% we've been giving them feedback in the Discord server. Feel free to join in if you'd like! Not the best idea to click links on here, but if you know how to get to the Splinterlands Discord server there's a SoulKeep channel and if not you can join on the bottom of the splinterlands website. If you want here's a direct link:

Well Scenario A doesn't really have to be that clearly defined. I suggested they essentially increase the price of things they are designing to add a DEC burn. Tournament tickets, season passes, promos? Whatever, they need a DEC burn. Their CEO said he's willing to work in the DEC burns, so here's a proposal providing us an option to move forward. I don't have a perfect solution for anyone here, just woke up and was met with a bunch of messages complaining about the situation and tried to help us find a solution. If a solution can't be found, I guess we'll figure out what happens from there. I really don't know.

Just to make you aware of the update. I spoke to him again today and expressed the desire for transparency in what amounts would be burned. He's agreed to burn 50% of the DEC and I've update the proposal to reflect that.

have you still not realized that you are dealing with a bunch of greedy idiots who can do nothing but cheat and lie?

I think if what was originally scoped out, purely single player experience, the SPS earnings would have made a lot more sense. The problem is they aren't using a single player or a pvp setup where there's only rewards for one account. They're using a tournament structure for their prizes and the only way I could really see implementing SPS stake requirements for that would be to gate league access (their leagues are not like Splinterlands ranked leagues) and that would essentially kill the marketability to the "web 2" folks they're trying to reach. Like if you're playing a tower defense game, get to the end of a level, and you don't have the option to advance unless you go learn about web 3 and staking SPS etc, it's a big wall. When it comes to Splinterlands, there are other walls, like card level, skill and then the rewards you earn for winning are multiplied by the SPS stake. It's kind of apples to oranges. The two games are just very different.

I feel like we already had this discusion.
Its like stating the obvious. Ofc is bad for new players.
The spl sps staking requirement design is really bad.

>I do see we're back UP to a penny, though. Woo hoo...

SPS is not back up to a penny.  SPS is still around 0.8 cents or so.

We're not back up to a penny, it's just displayed with one less decimal point and rounded up. I wonder what will happen if we drop below $.005. 

So back in 2021, I looked up the tournaments requirements /prizes etc.

Not only did they have collection power requirements, and then later on SPS staked requirements, the prizes were also unattractive if people were to rent. (And the cost of cards were too high.)  SPS rentals weren't around back then.

So deck for 8k or so (to be competitive.)  SPS for another 4k why not (probably more cause SPS was higher.)

All to compete for a prize of $40 (if first place.)

Or, could just go play MTG: Arena, spend $25 for a chance to win 2.5k. (Probably won't, but in theory, it is possible.) 

People in SPL have a dream of profiting by just doing nothing which is mathematically flawed. All the renting, staking ,etc, is just economic manipulation that provides zero value.

If SPL had a better prize structure, people can be motivated to spend.
