Yo Yo My Sovereigns, Wattup?
Welcome to episode 69 of my weekly Splinterlands 101 podcast, with fellow @hiveaustralia members, and co-hosts of the show, @mattclarke and @giotrix
This episode, is another "Behind The Avatar" themed chat.
Who is that person playing that toon that always flogs you in ranked battles? haha
Well this theme focuses on just that, meeting the person behind the avatar.
...
Tonight's guest literally needs no introduction. If you know what Splinterlands is, then you know who @yabapmatt is, and we're very excited to have Splinterlands's co-founder on the show.
Ever wonder where the name Yabapmatt comes from? Well Matt tells his story, along with some very interesting background information, then we dive deep with Matt into the Splinterlands eco system.
If your interested in the economics of the game then this is one episode that you wont want to miss 😎
and in true Splinterlands 101 tradition we finish the show off with 3 live battles as Yabba takes us on one by one, with the usual team breakdowns, analysis and predictions before we play the battle out.

good show thanks 👍
Thankyou for watching! :)
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for stopping by 😎
Looking forward to watching this later today. When Yaba speaks…I shut up and listen!!!
Hey thanks for dropping by man, I agree, Yaba is a genius.
Absolutely. I value and appreciate his insight and thoughts on this weird world we are all navigating through. I’ll be plopping down after work to soak it all in.
Haha yes, a sponge floating down the stream 😎
Thanks for sharing! - @yonilkar
Thanks for the support, much appreciated 😍
That was a long show. But informative. 🧠
Haha yes, much longer than we normally do, but it was Yaba, so we wanted to maximise on his time 😍 Thanks for dropping by 😎
Hey guys! Wow! I thought you were saving the big ones for anniversary episodes! How the hell did you talk @yabapmatt into an appearance? Are you in danger, bro? Blink twice if you need help.
Great show guys! You brought up some really interesting stuff I'm looking forward to digging into.
For starters, I want to touch on the idea yaba mentioned about having two separate level progressions. One of the things that disappointed me about Splinterlands when I first got into it was the fact that playing cards doesn't earn experience for them. I understood why the combine to advance method was used, but I really like the idea of a card earning something for it's part in a victory. I think I would be really excited to see some kind of hybrid progression method that earns to a cap by playing, and could be combined to raise that cap.
Having said that, I also think I would hate having unused cards in my collection I couldn't find a way to level up because they just aren't useful enough to play as often as necessary to advance. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't, I guess. Then, again, if the experience follows the card so I could advance it through rental play...
Quick questions for @yabapmatt
How do you feel about character builders, and how do you think they will work in a blockchain/defi environment? Can you foresee a way that kind of dynamic could be added, or incorporated into the Splinterlands environment?
Finally, I'm not trying to climb up on your nuts or anything, but I got tingly when you started talking about DEC/asset backed stability. I saw @mattclarke getting excited, too. If memory serves he and I firmly hold the position that this isn't just a game. It's a full blown web 3.0 experience and it's just getting started. I believe we're seeing things develop here that will have, or at least reflect, very far reaching innovations that will have incredibly immense impacts on the world going forward. I am in full agreement with you that asset backed stable coins have a very important role to play going forward.
Anyway, it's always good to see yaba on the town halls, but it was really nice to see him here, hanging with the guys. I know it comes up here a lot, but it really means a lot to the community to see the guys running this incredibly huge project come sit down at the folding card table for the raw experience. I wouldn't want anyone else running this thing.
Oh, and one more thing @bobaphet. I really liked the battle for the closing credits. I'm of the opinion you should end every episode with the challenge of the day and a cool tune to back it. Just a thought. Also, I gotta fuck off now or I'll get stuck in a loop and just ramble on. DRAMATIC EXIT (mist, smoke, fog, or ethereal particalation).
Hey man, thanks for your in-depth input, always appreciated 😍
!KOG
NO WAY!!!! jaw drop why did you not TELL me... lol...

Great show @mattclarke !!!
