I said that Splinterlands will be able to fund it separately, but not to the same extent of course. These are 2 separate entities.

As for your numbers, you are missing this part which is huge

The SPS DAO reserves the right to alter the terms of this proposal or to stop future allocations entirely at its discretion by passing a proposal to do so.

The items you are listing in #1, #2, #3 are all irrelevant to this because the payments are not guaranteed, they are not liquid funds, and they are not being "sold". I do think all of those are important for sure though.

@fivemishras you are seeing what you want to see, but you are not seeing the truth. You said that you had lost faith in discord today and I feel bad for you. I wish you didn't and I wish I could get you to actually listen to what I am saying. But no matter how many times I tell you, you are hung up on that one outside marketing firm being the "only way we can spend marketing money". You are fixated on it and you can't understand that he is just a guy that decided how to spend money.

I am not rolling back on marketing, in fact my message is contrary to rolling back. But you only see what you want to see. I'm not even sure you know what marketing is, but I do know that you are 100% mistaken when you say that I'm scaling back. Removing a decision maker doesn't change the funding, in fact if it was a bad decision maker, then its can improve the funding. But you don't want to see that. You had your heart set on Andrew being the guy that would make things work, and there's not much I can do about it.

I'm glad you aren't using the term "conned" because that is not the truth. I think its fine if you post your disappointment, but please make sure you don't keep repeating things that I've clarified aren't true.

I am not scaling back marketing.

You may not think I know what I'm doing, and that's fair for you to think so. I realize that until I show you and anyone else that I do know what I'm doing, then there is no way to judge.

I'm happy to discuss with you via DM, I'm also happy to have a public discussion with you. But only to try to help you to understand the truth. I don't want to debate you about my intentions, I know what my intentions are and they are not debatable. But I am happy to explain in more depth my thoughts and plans any time you are ready to listen.

Also if you leave like you said today, then I will wish you well. I still will feel bad that I was unable to connect my message and objectives to you. I saw where you said you invested $40k in this new set, and it was more than you normally do, so I don't want you to feel worried or nervous either. Crypto is a risky business and as an investment its definitely tough. I believe that when people have too much in any one thing, then their mind and gut will tell then when they have too much. In this case, this might be true.

So again I wish you well whatever you decide to do, I hope even if you keep a small amount that you stick around. You are a long time player here and you've been part of our fabric and active regularly. I will be sad if you leave, but I also don't want you to worry as much as you are worried.

Feel free to reach out to me via DM and if I don't talk to you, then thank you for being here and giving the community your time and emotional investment as well. I respect that!
