RE: The New Splinterlands Proposal: Flight Or Flee?

Hive probably knows what at stake and that's why the splinterlands proposal will pass which I love.

It is still at around 50% of the minimum threshold to pass with a few days until funding starts (not that we haven't seen proposals being funded afterwards or dropping out of funding after a while). Big whales still haven't heard of it (it is possible!), they play hard to get, or simply they don't want to vote on it.

Hive is probably too decentralized and too much sugar sometimes can cause diabetes, if you know what I mean.

A vote from Blocktrades almost solves the problem, starting from this support level. And the discussion about decentralization.

Overall I believe we need splinterlands as much as some of its success and sustenance can also be attributed to it.

In my opinion, it's bad things got to this situation. Hive is partially to blame, despite Splinterlands management being awful on enough situations. Most Splinterlands whales that have no ties to Hive will keep pushing for the game to move away from Hive, to a place where there are more money. I'm not sure if this insistence can be resisted indefinitely. Some of them may be paid or have an interest to constantly push such a topic on the agenda (other than thinking their account would be worth more).

Luckily, this is not easy to do for a project that has a history behind, and Hive is still a great chain to run Splinterlands on. So, their only argument is money. Sometimes money is not enough. But we will see.
