RE: Sundered Lands on Steemit (Game Session Date: 2017-11-25)
Interesting! May I suggest that the winner be given the liquid portion of the payout? Its easier and practical and leaves the pilgrim with something as well.
Sounds like a solid plan to me @ecoinstant - I may need to request your help on how to make that happen. This is the first time I’ve offered a contest reward, or a transfer of any kind. My hope is that Steemians will want to play for the sake of enjoying the game. The payout is just an added incentive.
No problem! Incentives are funny that way - I have found that if it is not fun no incentives matter.
So when you post there are 3 options. Decline payout, 50/50 split and 100% powerup. I can tell that you went with the 50/50 split (you can ask me how later!). This means that 50% of the payout you will receive in Steem Power, and 50% in liquid SBD.
This liquid portion is easy to transfer to anyone, while the SteemPower is not. Steem Power has special rules for powering down, and unless you happen to have the value of that Steem Power in Steem or SBD, it can be a hassle to try and move it somewhere else.
Common practice is to give away the liquid portion of payouts. This also recognizes that the author deserves the other 50% - a full 100% giveaway is possible, but hard to pull off unless you are prepared ahead of time with the compensating value for the Steem Power you will get.
So all you need to do, really, is just say -
Love and Light!
