Due to everything going on, our communication was pretty sparse. I decided just to change the proposal to his comment since it seems like it would be a major strain to implement mine. I think his comment gives the gist of the idea well enough to be voted on.
I did suggest that if there's a card burning building for guilds or something coming that he attach it to that so prizes are just a pot sweetener. No idea if anything like that is coming or not but I think it needs something equivalent to guild points to not just be seen as whale games where only the top few people will have a chance to get anything.
I spoke with Matt and he is not ready to take this up yet. While he likes the idea, he has more important things he's working on right now with land and Rebellion. He said that he will give it thought in the future and bring the proposal back up again in the future.
So while I respect your proposal and think you started a great dialogue, I am going to vote it down so we as a community have more clarity as to what we are voting for.
Its definitely not a vote for your idea, but rather bad timing and not enough information as a result. I hope you understand @imno
Thanks for letting me know. Everything is so weird 😂. When I was talking to Matt about changing the proposal, he already knew it was something he wanted to do after Rebellion. So when he said this was the perfect opportunity to set that up in his comment, I assumed that was factored in already. And then he voted for the proposal.
Maybe he's changing his mind due to feedback from the whales who've voted it down.
Anyway, this has long left being my idea. When Matt chimed in when an entirely different idea than mine and then the Splinterlands Twitter account actively promoted that the proposal was interesting now that Yaba gave his idea, it split the vote and made it almost impossible for mine to pass. Then Matt told me mine was impossible to implement in time so it no longer mattered if it did pass.
So my options were to cancel it or use my burned DEC to try to help Matt with an idea I didn't even particularly agree with. What I wanted to avoid was the long shot where my proposal passed as it was and they couldn't implement it and that upset the community. So, if he wants to do his later with more info, that's fine with me. This one seems doomed at this point anyway. 🤷♂
Anyway, thank you for being kind @davemccoy. I realize the timing has been wonky on this proposal but this has been an experience that I'm ready to be done with. If I get no more DMs on discord chastising me for Matt's idea being just for whales or destructive to the little guy, I'll be fine with that 👍
haha... I 100% agree, doing a proposal is like offering to be a punching bag. Even when there was 90% approval on one of my props, I still had endless negativity and trolling to deal with. Not fun at all.
I feel for you on this one because I like your concept in general. I think we will eventually get something passed as well. I particularly like the graveyard approach, even thought that will take even more time and resources to develop.
Good job again!
I think it will work out and your idea started a good process. While of course the timing wasn't optimal, it certainly got the attention of many.
We'll see how it turns out of course as time goes, but I want to say much respect to you for your ideas and for having the courage to make it into a proposal @imno!!!
I think you did good to get this in the community conversation, I will try and see if we can get some clarity if there's no town hall tomorrow.
