We're about 5 days away from the next End of Season in Splinterlands. I'm hoping to finish Gold 3 this time around and have been toying around with this idea for a giveaway for a little while. Across hive, you'll find all sorts of giveaways for the just about every Hive game out there. You'll find creative contests, pack opening giveaways, daily quest rewards, etc. Well, I wanted to do something a little bit different that I hadn't yet seen, something a little more... gamified.
I like to think of this as a double blinded giveaway. I'll have 2 wheels, one to pick a winner, and 1 to select the prize. All you have to do is follow my directions for entering. I'd like to try and get some engagement in the post, so I'll usually ask you to answer a question. But we can get creative too, you'll have to read through the entire post to find out what is required.
Well, the title says it all. Anything I could possibly send to you is 100% fair game. Any card of any rarity, regular or gold foil, Chaos Packs, DEC. It's all possible. If I pull a gold foil Djinn Oshannus, you have a chance to take that right from under my nose. Obviously, the only thing I can't share are potions, so they're out. Perhaps, I'll replace them with something else, but let's see how this goes for now. Let's use my previous EOS rewards as an example. I finished in Silver 2, so I had 15 chests to open. Remember, this is only an example .
Well you are in luck, because this is where it gets fun. Maybe the rng was kind to you once in selecting your name but failed you on your prize. 1 DEC maybe doesn't go as far as you'd like, and as much as you love the art of Venari Heatsmith, you've already got 1034 copies sitting in your collection already. You my friend are in luck, you can 100% outright decline your prize. Here's what happens if you choose to decline:
- All the possible prizes get rolled over and added to the prize pool for next EOS
- Your name gets added an additional time to the wheel giving you an another chance to win (your declining does not guarantee you another win)
- An additional name will get drawn to win a prize.
This cycle can continue ad nauseum until someone decides to claim their prize. This means that everyone has to decline their prize in order to roll everything over to the next season. If just 1 person likes what they've gotten, everyone one who wins will get their selected prize. You will have 48 hrs to decline via comment. If you don't comment in that timeframe, I'll consider it as acceptance and the prizes will start over with the next EOS.
Now that the rules of the giveaway are laid out, you find your self dying to enter as quickly as possible. What do you do?
- Answer the following question in the comments below: What do you like/dislike about this giveaway?
- Add your Splinterlands name if it's different than your name here
- Only 1 entry per person. No bots or alt accounts are allowed. Remember, everything on chain is recorded for all of us to see. If you are suspected of cheating, you will be disqualified and blacklisted from all future giveaways.
- Upvotes are not required for entry; however, for every 20 votes, I will pull an extra winner from the voters!!
- Reblogs and Tips (Pizza, LUV, Wine, Beer) are not necessary, but greatly appreciated.
- Do not be afraid to ask questions! I want everyone to fully know what's going on and more importantly, have fun participating!

I really like, well, first that you’re doing a giveaway, that’s awesome…but cooler that you’re gamifying the prize part. Normally I’d just take what I got, but like you say, it might be better to wait for next time versus one DEC; very cool idea. 👍😁

What I like the most of this giveaway and giveaways in general are they give tons to the Splinterlands community. It does really help to all the beginners, specially in Novice league. Thank you very much for this giveaway! Have some !PIZZA, please!
Thank you for the !PIZZA. I really do hope this can help beginners, I know I relied on any giveaway I could get my hands on when I started out
I like the general idea of the giveaway, and all giveaways are great by definition. Cool that absolutely any reward may be on offer. I am curious how the rollover comonent ends up working in practice. I have a feeling you will neeed to have a really bunch of garbage before you get a rollover, but you never can tell. So... curious.
Thanks for the giveaway and the food for thought. And please accept my entry. @tinyputerboy.
I really like the creativity of this giveaway. It's great to see something different around here.
One thing wasn't really clear for me is the number of winners. Is it the number of chests you will have?
Anyways, I'm happy to participate. Have a slice of !PIZZA 😃
I'm glad you asked, because I'm sure there are others who weren't sure but didn't want to speak up. So this all starts off with 1 winner, let's call this the base. At EOS, two things can happen.
For this very first round, I decided to throw in an extra incentive. For every 20 upvotes I get on this post, I will add another winner from whoever entered and voted. We're already up to 5 extra winners from the pool of voters! I may or may not continue this, or tweak some things here along the way, but for now, the same rules for declining or accepting apply to these winners as well, However, these extra wins do not carry over to the next week. So if everyone declines, they'll get their name on the wheel an extra time, but the number of winners may actually be less than this current cycle. I hope that makes sense? Thank you for the excellent question, please have a slice of !PIZZA
Thanks for the explanation. It is a cool system you created there. 🙂
Mmmm i rather preffer the sort of Giveaways where just have to put my IGN cuz i'am just too much lazy xD, so yes, this is my answer, also 10 points for originality in a giveaway post!

Nice way of gamifying the giveaways, I have been trying to add some gamification too mine ones by making one set of prizes as game pool but only less than half the participants participate in that :(
And declining the prize idea is awesome 👌
!PIZZA
Thanks! I really hope this works out as planned.
!PIZZA
I think it great fun , nothing to change !PIZZA
Thanks for the !PIZZA
Nice idea! The randomness and the decline cycle make it more fun.. engagement and dynamism.. I like it!
!PIZZA
I'm really hoping this works out as I indend. I think it could lead to some very interesting decisions.
!PIZZA
First of all I have to support the !PIZZA family and a fellow Pizza 3 The Hand-Tossed guild memeber! Yeah for us! :)
What I like about this the most is the Chaos of it all, we are in the Chaos Legion packs so it makes sense, not only is it random what you get at the end of the season, but the random wheel will draw from that one, which to me, makes it even better!
Also, giving that opportunity to decline is good. Maybe the person gets that Pelacor Bandit, but they have a level 5 of it, won't make a difference, but a person in bronze, a Pelacor Bandit can help them out, so in the choas of it all, it fits when every player, and who knows, maybe someone will pull a pack!
@kqaos
Good luck all!
Thanks for the support !PIZZA 3 brother. I'm looking forward to seeing what people will do given the chance to accept their fate or give it all up for a slightly better chance at something better the next time around. Based on how that goes, maybe I'll tweak things for even more chaos 😂
Count me in for the giveaway!
I like this giveaway. Well formatted, concise and easy to read.
Thanks!

What not to like in a giveaway
I'm in
@eman13088
I like the having the choice to decine. But I'm a little confused, if all winners decline except for one, all will be distributed?
Yes, all it takes is 1 person to trigger the payout. Your fate may not always be in your hands, and I'm interested to see if there will be any sort of negotiating between winners. Of course if this doesn't work out, I'll make adjustments along the way to something that works better.
I think this would be very interesting... Thank you for the answer sir
I like giveaways and the cards given @stamato
Here to support my fellow !PIZZA fam :)
What I don't like? Sounds really confusing (at first glance - i get it now).
I like that even if you win and fail in the RNG, you get a chance to roll it over in hope of something better down the line. 😜
!PIZZA fam represent!
I'm glad you get it now lol. Hopefully it makes sense once we get things going.
@d3lphinus
I like this giveaway because it gives you a chance to win really good stuff.
Quite an interesting concept. I will win and then have a chance for a fantastic win. Double the fun.
IBG: @indiebandguru
I believe I can finally share some !pizza now.
i like the idea of double wheel but dont like that maybe the wheel of rewards can be so variable ign @beelmukjj
Please count me in. @harinette 🙂
I like that the possibility of getting something really sweet is there. Great giveaway form!
