[ENG] Vote NO on the New Splinterlands Governance Proposal!

Hello everyone!

This is a video in Portuguese in which I will talk about the new Splinterlands Governance proposal, and why you, a small player like me, should vote NO on this proposal.

A few days ago, the @sps.dao account presented this proposal which will adjust the rewards earned per match according to the Level of the cards used in the match: if you play with low leveled cards, your rewards will be proportionally reduced.

The truth is that this new rule will end up punishing the small player, reducing their daily rewards. When I say "small player", I mean the average player, who scraps together a little bit of money every week or so to buy a few extra cards and slowly build their deck; the player who manually plays a single account. This player cannot afford to fill his deck with expensive, high-level cards, but he can use his brain to develop good strategies that allow him to play at high rankings despite having low-level cards. It'l also effectively kill lots of interesting, powerful cards that became very common until today like the Creeping Ooze and the Furious Chicken, as their strenght comes right at Level 1, and are very expensive to level them.

On the other hand, the "whale", the big fat cats who have thousands of accounts running 24/7 on bots, can and will adapt to this new rule. If he needs higher level cards, so be it, he'll just buy them and keep playing with his thousands of account. The big players have both the administrative structure and the purchasing power to maintain their own level of reward, and we do not.

Therefore, I will vote NO for this proposal, and I think that you should do the same.

[PT-BR] Vote NÃO na Nova Proposta de Governança do Splinterlands

Fala galera, beleza?

Nesse vídeo, eu vou falar sobre a nova proposta de Governança do Splinterlands, e por que você, pequeno jogador como eu, deve votar NÃO nessa proposta.

Há alguns dias, a conta @sps.dao apresentou essa proposta que, de forma resumida, ajusta as recompensas ganhas de acordo com o Level das cartas usadas na batalha: cartas que tenham o Level inferior à um mínimo pré-determinado por Liga reduzem proporcionalmente as recompensas ganhas.

A verdade é que, em última instância, essa nova regra vai punir o pequeno jogador independente e reduzir suas recompensas diárias. Quando eu falo de "pequeno jogador", estou falando do jogador comum, que junta um dinheirinho toda semana pra comprar algumas cartas por semana, e que joga manualmente o jogo todos os dias. Esse jogador não tem condições de encher seu deck de cartas caras e de nível alto, mas consegue usar o cérebro para desenvolver estratégias boas que o permitem jogar em rankings altos. Essa nova regra também vai destruir muitas cartas interessantes e que ficaram muito populares como o Creeping Ooze e a Furious Chicken, pois a força delas está logo no nível 1: ninguém aumenta elas de level por serem cartas caras e com poucas vantagens de subir de level.

Por outro lado, a "whale", o grande investidor que possui milhares de contas rodando 24 horas por dia em bots, ele sim consegue se adaptar à essa nova regra. Se ele precisa de cartas de nível maior, ele vai comprar e vai continura jogando. Os grandes possuem estrutura e poder aquisitivo pra manter o próprio nível de recompensa, e nós não.

Por isso, eu vou votar NÃO para essa proposta, e sugiro que você faça o mesmo.

Valeu galera, e até o proximo vídeo!
