RE: SPS Governance Proposal - Hire Steem Monsters Corp. To Build Card Burning Event & Provide Riftwatchers Packs as Prizes

In it's present form it is unlikely to get DAO support .

It will not get my vote in any form. I am failing to understand what are we paying $100K for? Burning cards is unnecessary at this point. Burning cards to get more cards is a circular argument and stinks of market manipulation.

If team like to get paid from the DAO I like to see a tangible new product that benefits the game. I wouldn't support a promo card either as a promo card is revenue generating product for the team.
Team need to stop giving away free cards.

I would encourage the team to seek VC funding, DAO can potentially help with that.

All in all, this proposal is not very innovative. Expected more from the team.

I totally agree, the game needs more players! needs ways to attract and retain both new and old players, we need a revamp of game modes, of guilds. I love splinterlands, but I confess that the self-cost to evolve the guild, the self-cost to maintain a higher link, with many potion rewards is discouraging.

Its a good idea if you share all these ideas with Matt directly as well.

I agree and I can. I am hoping since this is a pre-proposal post that Matt likely wrote himself, chances are that he will maybe read the comments?

I'm paying you in the form of more SPS dilution for the privilege of burning more of my own assets? I made the mistake of doing that DEC burn BS and didn't see shit for burning hundreds of thousands of DEC. I'm not falling into that trap again. I've been supportive of basically every initiative thrown at me, but now I'm starting to question this shit more and more.

I doubt it costs 100k to code a burn event considering they already have the framework in place from the DEC burn event. I feel like the delta is a desperation money grab for opex. I'd much rather them just be honest and ask the DAO for funding during rough times instead of this card burn event smokescreen for SPS dilution. This is yet another attempt to squeeze the decaying community instead of putting forth any meaningful effort to actual market the game (--oh yeah we fired the marketing guy, but ooh rah land).

Why would I hire Steem Monsters Corp to do anything outside of the roadmap, when they can't even fulfil the obligations they were ostensibly hired for (TD anyone)?

It's not only infuriating, there is signal in this type of behavior, like the flashing red lights type of signal.

actually looking back, that DEC burning event was one of my biggest personal SL related mistakes. I shouldn’t have participated in that. I don’t remember how much DEC I burned, 16M? Today my land plots remained deactivated because of that. Surely they didn’t force me, I did it, but I can also admit that was a mistake
