No, I removed my vote for it a while ago in the hope that deathwing gets funded.
It's correct that I voted the return proposal to get it above the SPL one. As stated, my reasoning was that I don't agree to spend half a million without a concise and actionable plan. "We'll hire some marketing guy" didn't cut it for me.
All "politics" and personal history aside. I don't care about that shit. That's between you guys. People gonna people.
It's good to see the system works as intended. It's great to see they gathered enough momentum to earn approved status, and I wasn't surprised to see the goal posts move in their favor either. No rules were broken on the road to success.
I removed my vote from the return proposal after the SPL proposal went live. Acting on my own, to make it a little easier for them, knowing full well someone could easily counter it. That's how it works and I'm not going to yell at an inanimate object if I don't get my way.
Now, I'd like to vote for the return proposal again. Simply because I think the bar is far too low. If all those in support of SPL proposal take that personally, it's not me who's broken.
They like their half million dollars. I don't blame them. But we're leaving the safe wide open. 20 million is just sitting on the table. Protecting that is important. I'd go so far as saying more important than SPL.
You have your reasons. I have mine. Everyone else has theirs. It's only fair. And that proposal system does not give a fuck about feelings.
Sorry to hear about your loss. I don't think you deserve to be punished and that's kind of how it looks. You did not break any rules.
My votes for the return proposal are very dynamic and updated regularly according to the current situation. I just removed it again to get the peak vault/metamask snap proposal closer to being funded, and keep deathwing above. SPL has more support than both of them now.
Makes sense. Need to be flexible. If more were participating we'd see plenty of change, constantly.
I'm still on the fence thinking about supporting SPL but I'm not confident it's a good idea yet. One day I want to, the next day, not so much.
I don't like how they remain somewhat disconnected. The other games here would all thrive if they shared the consumer base, for example. Getting people in the door but they're not shopping around. Not confident 500k will lead to any improvements there. My prediction is: Business as usual. Absolutely NO lessons learned or fucks given. An opportunity to create more opportunities, squandered, for 500k.
So, here's a situation where you countered about ten of my votes (lol) making it easier for something I recently voted for to get funding (peakd). I thought it was cool offering jobs like that to the locals. Some of that money might even stay here.
But like I said. That safe is wide open. Can't take ten steps here without walking into someone complaining about the spending habits. There's not much money left. People will be climbing over one another for the final million. Then what? Play Splinterlands?
Luckily there's way more than a million left.
No need to play splinterlands. Just use a bot.
Yup. "20 million sitting on the table," I said previously. I know. I don't consider 23 million to be a lot of money. Can easily burn through that under these circumstances.
And I just saw that other post you reblogged that ties in to this situation of yours. Not too happy with what I'm seeing. Disillusioned. I was under the impression the support rolling in was a little more organic.
Time to do some thinking.
SPL also have around 1.5 million in their DAO.
they should just pull from that
People gonna people.
I feel like this is one of my old go-to lines. But it actually was a phrase I used to use in this exact same venue about the exact same peopling people. Only as time passes you begin to wonder if they even deserve to be confused with "people".
Oh I helped invent the show. I am certainly going to enjoy my bit role in the sequel! :) Good to see you again as well!
