RE: Proposal at Splinterlinds: How Splinterlands tries with all their power to get their proposal through

As requested, I'm responding to you here publicly.

I would like to see the proposal pass, but I would prefer that they convince the community to support it instead of voting from the hive-engine account. That I don't support because I think this isn't an existential issue. But that's my opinion.

I also think its fine for all the team members to vote their personal stake, they are all players and are invested in the game too. They should have their votes heard too.

I think the one thing that you are missing is this isn't a "massive" resistance by the "normal players". I have many friends that are voting both for it and against it. That's why I don't want the game DEVs to use things like hive-engine to vote, I would prefer it be a pure statement by the community (both big players and small players).

At the end of the day many people are upset because they don't like the way the voting process is going. I have 2 points to that:

1. I think its important for the team to convince the community that their "wish" or "stance" on a given issue is important (versus use brute force of supersized company related votes). This might take some time, but its the way forward and I think one they will adapt as this process becomes more familiar.

2. we actually do get a vote. We've seen before the DEVs can be voted down and this is more than you get with most every company I've ever dealt with.

We have an AMA tomorrow and they will go over the details more, I will be listening to it and paying attention. I hope you are too :)
