Players can write too!

Players can write too!

so can card-rental managers

so can 'scholars' or 'player for hire's

I talk to many Splinterlands gamers and others who are directly related to Splinterlands economy and therefore hive blockchain. Trouble is, a lot of them, I have observed, don't really know what hive blockchain is. I mean they know what it does, they know RC (oh believe me they know RC!), they also heard of PeakD (they think it's a website!), and read Splinterlands posts on PeakD. Some of them are vocal and quite eloquent. Some have strong opinions about many things in life, both about the game and beyond the game. They even 'speak up' and spend hours communicating in discord. But Alas! They don't write a thought provoking post!!

Problems: They say!

  • I tried to write it, have done it, nobody reads it
  • I have written posts, no one votes it, it is not worth my time
  • I don't like writing, I'd rather battle
  • I get more interaction on discord
  • Wait what? What is a post? You mean like a blog? No Way!
  • I don't like to talk about myself
  • What's the point? Hive is all lopsided anyways it is all controlled by greedy whales!

...............

  • Wait sorry, by the way, I am running out of RC, can you delegate me some HP?
    Seriously??

Solutions: I say!

  • Try again, I read. Drop a link on the reply here and I will read (please don't drop a link of a weekly battle post or Splinterlands art post, yes some of them are good, but mostly they are spam)
  • I will vote them, supported posts can earn $10-$50 quite easily. How long does it takefor you to play and win to get $10?
  • Battle away, but that 3 hour long rant rampage that you just had on SL discord, you care about it, right?
  • Good for you! Can you show me that 'good interaction' you had on discord last June? How about last Nov 2020 the day land sale was announced! Can you? huh! It's all lost, eh?
  • A hive post is a blog on hive blockchain. You can write, make a video or whatever you have on your creative mind, as long as they are original and your own work. Please do not re-post previous work, and don't plagiarize. There are many front-end to write it from, like hive.blog, PeakD, etc
  • You don't have to talk about yourself! You can totally talk about your neighbor, or you can talk about me, either way works
  • I am a whale, I am the one asking. Enough said?

A good initiative, I've already introduced the hive blog to some well-known Splinterlands and Gods of Chain players, but the problem of new users receiving less than 1 dollar to create a 1000 word post makes it tiring to take the contest out of Splinterlands, maybe this freshness content to have too many words is ridiculous as is required by some curators. Congratulations @azircon
About leaving the link to post, is it just for new users? or anyone?

Try not to use liquid rewards

It shows that you have no vested interest on this blockchain. You are here just to milk the rewards and sell your earning immediately. Many people does that, but maybe have some decency.

I wish everyone would put some effort in and write - it doesn't have to be perfect, but it can be entertaining, useful, supportive, educational - whatever! I don't get why more don't write, just to learn more about themselves and the interests they have, to connect with people similar, different or who can bring a new perspective, that might be useful too.

Agree. I am trying to change that. Gaming people can write quite well as they have the analytical mind. Grammar and delivery can be improved by practice. I don't write as much as you know but whatever that I do helps me to focus my thoughts. I find the interaction rewarding as well.

If I remember correctly, Splinterlands represents the most daily activity of any Dapp on Hive. Based on the amount of Splinterlands related blog posts I see floating around Hive, it seems to be a minority of gamers occasionally posting. I've explored the Splintertalk.io frontend several times, and there are definitely a lot of simple and lower effort posts to weed through before finding a good read.

What a great wake-up call. I need to get over my fear of formatting. I literally write for a living. No more excuses ;-) Thanks Azircon!

pretty sure i'm one of the folks you're describing! 🤣 spends too much time gaming ✅ and chatting in discord ✅ been trying to improve lately though, mostly because of your encouragement and inspiration, so thanks 💪!! anyone else who feels like this article is speaking to them, feel free to reach out to me also. i started posting literally exactly as described here. azir was like 'take all that stuff from discord and post it' and finally (after like the 5th time) i was finally like, ok, what is peakD? ever since then, i've loved it so much! wish my entire job was writing content. hope to expand beyond just splinterlands brawl posts eventually. thanks again for posting this!

You are certainly one, but not the only one. There are many, and funny thing is you all contribute a lot to the blockchain but there is little or no record for it. That’s unfortunate and that’s the problem I like to address.

It doesn't matter which game you play. The HP is just a different game, so its ok if you invest your time in things that makes you happy.

I found that whenever I sit still and don't do anything, something comes up in my mind, and I start writing. I make a draft whatever comes in my mind. Then when I'm completely free, I elaborate the idea. I think, people should sit still for while to come up with ideas. Thanks to Osho, he shared that idea in one of his talk.

Thanks azircon for inspiring young splinterlands players to write. I also find share your battle sometimes boring because of the writers style others it would be fun to read. Tokenomics, bots, sps, land, vouchers, ans pack, there are too many topics I love to read about.

A well deserved !1UP (so more younger players can see it on splintertalk and get inspired to write, earn and probably use it to increase deck)

I wrote about this 7 days ago, to get Splinterlands players to use some of their hp to vote, so they could get more hp down the line and don't have to relay on leases all the time xD

We can all write, even though some find it difficult, when you have practice and want to tell anything, the mind flies at that moment, and little by little in each word ideas come. It would be fascinating if players especially of "Splinterlands" would write about the game, or about their experiences about the game, about the investment, about the licenses, about the lands and about the cards or tokens that make life in the game, there is a lot of material to cut, you just need imagination and creativity. I like all the platforms related to the game, I like to talk about them, like Peakmonsters, or Splintercards or highlight an epic battle, I usually have several in the season with everything against, in short a great publication that I hope reaches many players.

I loved reading you... your way of transmitting things is great XD... I've been writing for a few weeks with this account about SP. and I would like if you can give it a critical eye without votes in between... I just want to improve what I already do. unfortunately in this account I am draining everything, HIVE is my main job at the moment. best regards!

Even though my Splinterlands experience is secondhand through my daughter, she came into Splinterlands only after a lot of blogging experience. For this reason it was really easy for her to create quality and entertaining posts about Hive gaming, but she also lacks the knowledge of a lot of the mechanics and inner-workings of Splinterlands because 95% of her Hive energy is devoted to blogging-related stuff.

I do wish there was more Hive-blogging and Splinterlands crossover, these two things seem to host the most activity on this blockchain. I think the inverse is also true, many Hive-bloggers also know very little about the gaming side of our blockchain.

Actually it is Splinterlands which covers 95% or more of hive transactions. Without Splinterlands, hive blockchain would have been dead by now.

Geez! 😮 I knew the number was high, I always assumed at least 60% or 70% of the action, but that's astonishing. I don't know that I've ever seen it not in the top Dapp spot. I wish my daughter would pursue it more, it's fun to watch her play because it brings MTG memories from my teenage years.

Blockchain would not be dead, Hive would cost only 20 cents.

I've learned a lot about Splinterlands by reading other people's content and so I've been able to improve my own content and share my strategies, as in this post.

At first I was so ashamed and needed a LOT of ENCOURAGEMENT not to give up, but now it's part of my routine and I'm really excited to share experiences with the people at Hive.

Hi, I have a little block where I write knowledge about splinterlands, about cards that pleasantly surprised me in the game, I share tactics and advice on the block, if you have time to check my block maybe you will come across something interesting.

I've recently started recording videos and posting them on 3Speak, but all of them were in my native language. This post made me muster the courage to record my first one in English, so at least I have that going for me 😅

https://peakd.com/@luizeba/remfhmpn

It's way more confortable for me to record in my own language; but I know that, by starting doing those in English, the number of players that I can help is 100x higher. But damnit, I felt a hell of an anxiety to record this one in English LOL

Hi @azircon , I hope I haven't been late for this initiative! By the way, thanks for the opportunity!

In this post I talk about some ways to face monsters with melee attack, a content aimed at beginners, but that can also be useful for experienced ones? Maybe... it just depends on how we see things! And that's it!
