Steemfield Round 2 Results

Proposal #2 has passed unanimously!

The final vote (by weight):
in favor: 4.000
against: 0.000

The rule has been added to the rule set below and now is in effect. Now begins the next proposal phase. This phase will continue for the next 48 hours. Users are permitted to submit their proposals via comment to this post. Remember that you can alter your proposal at any time and can copy other proposals to show your support as you may have priority over the person you agree with.

Here's the current land distribution. Congrats to the users that were able to accumulate more LAND in this new digital frontier. Remember that there's still plenty of LAND to giveaway and lots of time to claim it.

Hive account@lextenebris: 3 LAND (+2 LAND)
Hive account@eonwarped: 2 LAND (+1 LAND)
Hive account@bengiles: 1 LAND (+0 LAND)
Hive account@pbock: 1 LAND (+1 LAND)

Clarifications

• LAND is gifted to referred and referring players at the time of the referral.
• Simple implementations for gifting and referring have been provided below in "other actions" section.

At anytime, users may propose rules to eliminate the ambiguities in the rules such that the above clarifications can be ignored.

This game is still the early days! There is still lots of LAND left for the taking for those that are seeking a stake. The game is still open and users may enter and exit the game as they please. If you have any questions or want to join the conversation, I highly recommend checking out the Totem Forest Discord.

Meta Rules will stay the same throughout the game. Game Rules can be altered through proposals.

Implementation Details

Proposals

Proposals will be made by commenting (no posting) on the results post using the following format. All relevant content must be separated from the rest of the comment by line separator(s) (three or more dashes) as well as the curly brackets with the proposal and type inside separated with a colon. You should also include the effected rule (by section & number OR by quoting the rule) if the proposal is a replacement or subtraction. Remember there are rule change types: ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, REPLACEMENT. All discussion and reasoning should occur outside the line separators.

Format

{PROPOSAL:TYPE}

TYPE, AFFECTED RULES IF APPLICABLE

EXPLANATION OF RULE

Example

---

{PROPOSAL:REPLACEMENT}

Replacement: Gameplay, Rule 4

The cap on total land is 500.

---

I think that the cap on land is too low and given the number of players in the game, individuals will struggle to get to even double digit LAND.

Voting

Voting is rather straight forward. You simply comment below a proposal either YES or NO within curly brackets. You may then add anything else to that comment that you desire. Note that voting more than once (or proposing for that matter) may result in punishment by the totem (see rule changes above).

Example

{YES}

Because the cap on LAND is too low and I really want some more LAND.

Other Actions

There are other actions that one may perform in Steemfield. Chiefly, referring friends and gifting LAND to other users.

A referred player should use the following tag to signal who referred them underneath a post written by the totem:

{REFERRED_BY:Hive account@referring-player}

To gift land, a player simply use the following tag with a target amount NUM less than or equal to the amount of LAND they own:

{GIFT_NUM_LAND_TO:Hive account@some-player}
