-----------------------------------

#### SPS Proposals:
* Goal with SPS Governance is to allow for anything to be proposed
* In the future, players will be able to create proposals for a fee
* It is up to the community to decide what they think should be implemented or not
* Team goal is to take any ideals/feedback from the community and put them out
* Team doesn't want to play gatekeeper and limit the ideals/feedback items that get proposed
* Team is trying to create an open space that is completely decentralized
* This means that anything can be changed as long as the community passes it through
* There is a separation between Splinterlands company/game product and the DAO (SPS, Vouchers, Licenses)
* Anything that the DAO proposes and approves that is under control by the DAO will be implemented
* Non-DAO items are ultimately up to the Splinterlands company to decide if it gets implemented or not
* CL Pack burn is an example of a non-DAO proposal
* Team proposed this just because they wanted community feedback on the subject rather than making the decision themselves
* Team plans on updating the SPS Proposal UI to differentiate between DAO and non-DAO proposals
* Everything that is put up as a proposal by the team is not expected to be passed
* There are some controversial proposals like making RiftWatchers & Licenses purchasable in DEC
* These two ideals were proposed by the team as they ultimately think that making all products priced in DEC will help push DEC price back to its soft-peg price
* Goal of the ecosystem is to back every product by DEC in order to stabilize it as best as possible
* If DEC is closer to peg, then it would create a higher demand for burning SPS for DEC

-----------------------------------

#### Lux Vega:
* Team plans on releasing the Lux Vega sale next week (still TBD)
* Lux Vega will be purchasable with DEC only
* VOUCHERs may be accepted for an additional discount
* VOUCHERs will potentially be accepted at $1 per VOUCHER
* Promo codes can be used on top of the VOUCHER discount
* Splinterfest attendees will receive a Promo Code pertaining to the ticket they purchased
* Once the Promo Code is used once, it can't be undone or reused
* Be careful when doing deals with the Promo Code!
* All information regarding Lux Vega will be announced as soon as it is ready

-----------------------------------

#### Marketing:
* New potential partnership announcement pending for December
* Marketing team wants to look into new player onboarding experience and how it can be revamped and more user-friendly

-----------------------------------

#### Creative:
* Team has completed all the Lux Vega creative assets and pushed them to the development team
* Team created a new Death character to replace Usut for the first RiftWatcher Legendary airdrop (**see Eye Candy!**)
* Team didn't think Usut accurately fit the stats given so they created Kain Hace to replace him
* Usut was moved to the backlog for a later potential release
* Team has continued producing Land assets every week
* Will look to release some of these assets in the upcoming Townhalls!
* HyperX Arena finally sent all the film from Splinterfest
* Creative team will be creating a virtual experience with the film for those who didn't attend to be able to watch and experience the event

-----------------------------------

#### Brawls/Tournaments:
* First Splinterlands Open tournament started this past Friday and concluded over the weekend
* 337 total participants
* Congrats to the top five winners!
1) OMG-SP2 - 22 Wins / 0 Loses
2) Martax - 20 Wins / 2 Loses

## <center> 🤝 Tentative Release Notes 🤝 </center>
<center> ** Subject to change prior to actual release! ** </center>

* Request Keys Page
* Currency Activity Page
* Bug Fixes:
* Fixed a bug that inaccurately capped the level of Gladiators at certain leagues

* Three new rulesets being introduced:

## <center> ⚡️ Q&A Summary ⚡️ </center>

#### SPS Proposals:
* Anything that is deemed of potential value for the community will be proposed by the team
* Adjusting Rewards By Card Level Proposal:
* This new system was proposed to better handle what Collection Power was introduced for
* Collection Power requirements may be removed entirely in the future as the system will be rewarding those who earn more cards at higher levels
* CP can be exploited currently as well as you can rent/delegate Level 1 cards to surpass the CP requirements
* CP doesn't ultimately incentivize leveling up of cards which is what the new system is pushing towards
* Chaos Legion Pack Burn Proposal:
* With Land gameplay and Tower Defense gameplay around the corner, card scarcity could be a factor when considering whether to vote for the CL pack burn or not
* Future card sets may have be released with a burn mechanism that will activate if the set doesn't sellout by a certain time period
* The fee for creating SPS Proposals is still being determined
* SPS Validator nodes will initially only support SPS, VOUCHERs, and Licenses
* So only SPS and/or VOUCHERs will most likely be accepted to pay the fee for a SPS Proposal

-----------------------------------

#### Rebellion:
* Rebellion set won't be released until at least 3 months after Chaos Legion sells out
* There is no fixed date on this set release and there won't be one until CL is completely sold out first
-----------------------------------

#### RUNI:
* Team is in the early brainstorming phase for what special things could be introduced for RUNI owners
* Players could potentially see Land utility introduced, among other utility
* Once your RUNI is staked in the game, you will get the benefits for all the other things released along with being able to play it in-game

-----------------------------------

#### Transak Issues:
* Transak goes through HIVE and appears to have been down since the two HIVE hardforks
* This is a big business item that the team wants to address in the near future as they believe anyone should be able to easily buy any supported token (SPS, DEC, etc...)
* Team is aware of the issue and will provide more details when the system is live again

-----------------------------------

#### DEC:
* The plan is to pair every Splinterlands asset with DEC
* This includes Land Liquidity Pools for Resources when Land gameplay is released
* All that value that is going into the DEC ecoystem will go directly to SPS
