My name is Joseph John (IGN breakingbenjamin), and I'm running for your SPS Validator Network vote!
I’m the only Narrative Designer on the Splinterlands Team, but more importantly, I’m a dedicated player, investor, and advocate for the long-term success of Splinterlands. My work goes beyond my day job—I'm committed to strengthening our ecosystem through governance, engagement, and bringing new players into our world.
A validator should do more than just run a node—I believe in actively building Splinterlands’ future. Here's how:
I create the stories, characters, and immersive experiences that keep players emotionally invested. From lore to Conflicts, tutorials to character designs, my work keeps people engaged and returning.
As a bestselling author (The Eighth Day, Democracy Inc) and worldbuilder, I bridge the gap between mainstream storytelling and blockchain gaming. I'm working to bring Splinterlands to new audiences through compelling narrative experiences, partnerships, and storytelling-driven content.
With 23 years in military leadership, operations, and strategic planning, I bring structured, long-term thinking to Splinterlands governance. I'm here to help ensure decisions are made with sustainability and decentralization in mind.
I host a reliable validator node with 99.99% uptime, helping secure and decentralize the game. Beyond that, I’m exploring ways to integrate lore with player achievements and game mechanics to create a richer, more immersive storytelling experience in Splinterlands.

🔹 A validator that does more than just run a node—I actively enhance user engagement and retention.
🔹 A dedicated Splinterlands advocate who is invested both emotionally and financially.
