RE: Land SPS distributed to those who have surveyed - (A Splinterlands Proposal)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Ok, bear with me with here.
You buy a stock not knowing there'll be a dividend.
They decide at the annual meeting that they'll start issuing a quarterly dividend.
At the next annual meeting they decide that only attendees of the annual meeting will earn dividends going forward.
Would you be ok with this despite that you bought the stock prior to the dividend announcement with the "well I didn't expect a dividend in the first place" mentality? No, you'll be very upset.
I think we're talking two different things. You're talking about physical rights whereas I'm talking about disenfranchising people who are active enough in the community to even own land. This will be a terrible thing to do in my opinion. There's fundamentally no reason for this other than "I've done this and other's haven't so let's cut those other people out"
If you're arguing from first principles then it would never be appropriate to cut off rewards for people that don't participate. Participation is the entire premise of land, not token dividends. Taking away these rewards was always bound to be an issue for some. I have about 150 plots and have doubts I will be able to survey it all in time, yet I understand the spirit of the initial DAO vote as does @Jarvie who stands to lose more than I if this passes. There will never be a convenient time to take rewards away from people, but that is inevitable.
I think not only you have difficulty understanding this proposal but also having difficulty understanding how land is supposed to work. Please invest more time reading the whitepaper which is long and complicated.
On a different note, this proposal will likely pass easily.
i'm not sure why you're going into ad hominem here,fyi i have read the white paper.
knowledge and differing opinions aren't mutually exclusive and moreover none of this is in the whitepaper so it feels like you're just assuming i'm speaking out of ignorance instead of having an informed opinion that you disagree with
A couple of big hitters just voted against. Likely because of greed... so it's now very much on the fence.
Hilarious that you accuse the people voting against this of doing so out of greed
tis true... selfish greed.
We see things differently i guess.
Land was not supposed to be an entitlement but greed caused us to vote land tokens to earn sps a while back (under the guise it was gonna help ... land prices or something silly) and no one wants to give up their free lunch now that land is launching.
yet you're not advocating giving up the free lunch, you're simply stating that you think only whales should get it
Look at the list again... you're on the side of whales that haven't claimed their deeds. I looked at the list and looked at their accounts. More representation of land holders on your side proportionately. The numbers speak.
Look, I agree that land is certainly the domain the whales.
I also agree that doling out SPS to them just because is absurd.
Yet, you're not advocating against this.
You're advocating to only allocate the rewards only to those who are more actively involved and investing far more into their land.
You're arguing to funnel resources and it's hilarious that you pretend it's out of altruism.
I can fix it real quick if that’s what you like @jarvie
you don't seem to understand well. i don't feel like explaining it to you. but your argument i would like to refute, even the one who wrote the proposal still has a whole region that is unclaimed....
There are not even 10 people who vote "no". these are almost all multi accounts of the same people you see there. do you notice anything else? 🤣
my entire point is that people who aren't active with their land are also not going to be active in voting, pointing out in agreement with what I already stated was the inherent problem with this as a refutation of my stance is puzzling
so you feel that people who are not active with their land should continue getting paid when the only reason that they were getting paidf in the first place was because of land delays? Land delays are no longer. land is moving forward. Either participate or miss out.
He may be an alt for one of those whale accounts... ever think of that? hahahaha
yes, there is no other way to explain why someone who likes to discuss and advocate for the rights of the poor whales does not have an account onn discord ;)
