> renting the cards

This sounds very interesting....and really made me more excited for the game launch. I belive that those haveinh gaming talent definately going to make use of the game but at same time those who are unable to get into gaming may too make money by renting out their assets....(assets here refer cards). ....this implies the game is for everyone....just own an asset and put it into rentingbto earn passive income....thT definately add fuel to the fire in the game......looking forward for thr game launch ...hopefully I get hold of some powerful cards in begining.....🙂

This is really awesome and a work well-done in the blockchain and I appreciate every part in the aspect of making sure the blockchain enhance to another level.

Thanks for this! Really excited to see how it goes. I will for sure be one that would rent out the cards. That is actually how I was able to get my kids actively into crypto this Christmas using Splinterlands. My daughter loves these kind of games, but my son is more on the RPG and action games, but LOVED the idea of owning and renting the cards like real estate. That is where you are going to get a ton of people engaging in this space and it's awesome to be in on the ground floor!

I’m making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is where i started... http://www.webcash1.com

If you were making that much you wouldn't be here, doing this spamming and scamming stuff. Anyone clicking that link is a moron.

Trippy. I saw myself in your video.

I look forward to kicking your ass at this game.

Happy New Year!

See you on the field. Happy new year!

I added you in there as an edit as well if I recall correctly.
Guess that effort has some affect!

That image sets such a serious tone, and that makes me chuckle every time.

How do we watch it?
Is there an aggregator to give daily reports?

This book outlines FOSS in 1887.
Thanks for picking up his ball and running with it.

Thanks for talking about the coins one can earn by playing, the yearly tournament would bring a sense of competition considering the fact that people wouldn't just want to put up their cards for rentals alone but they'll have to play because the tournament would make people want to play rather than just having the game alone for passive Income.
Talking about the in-game cards were even thrilling for me, for one, I felt every bronze card would be a common card or so, but since a card can be bronze and still rare makes it even better. Of course a gold card would always be rare and maybe legendary, I was somehow thinking that one needs to understand the technical jargon behind the cards to svtuat Understand how to utilise them, either for playing or renting dem out.

The passive aspect of equally as attractive as the gaming aspect and I like the fact that the game itself would provide for all aspect of players, both new and existing.

@edicted's post pretty much asks questions based on some of the viable concerns, but it was even better to get enough clarity from these questions. I'll have to bookmark this one to actually make reference to it at every point in time.

i know its not your problem. but thoughts on low liquidity for pristine hive on beeswap? i tried swapping swap.hive for hive and the liquidity was a joke. it felt like i was nickel and diming with a corporate bank. kinda sucks especially with the upcoming airdrop.

Happy New Year - Feedback from the first Hive Power Up Day of 2022

Tnx for moving the project more advance and convenient for user to understand and use....

I think that ordinary people need this now, I think it will be interesting and profitable

My CONSTRUCTIVE comment is that your point of
> "we can't include HBD because math is hard"

is an insult towards Blockchain development.

Seriously man?

That's simply laughable and actually embarrassing.

To tell people that HBD won't be counted for their drop, when HBD appears to then play a lucrative role within the game... is an abomination of godly proportions.

From the outside looking in.. that just doesn't say "WEB THREE POINT O IS SUPERIOR."

I have little interest for your Frankenstein vision of spectator sports but you said in the video that people can treat this like a job. So then (just a ball park figure...) how much could an ELITE player make a year and how much could a spectator make a year? Excluding Grand Prizes.

What value do you put on the time of your top athletes and spectators alike?

Anyway I'm still holding out for that threespeak censor-resistant wet dream you and starknaked have going.. but that utopia doesn't seem to be materializing.

WTF mannn... is it all a bluff!
Or is it just that Web3.0 is so superior... that it's like a good fart in a crowded elevator. One finds more pleasure AND REWARD if one releases it slowly.. and of course.. as silently as possible.

Sounds like this game is going to be intense, I like it. Will have to see how high the stakes are if I have the nerve to battle myself, but will definitely be renting out at least. Really looking forward to get involved with the testnet, so I can get a feel for it before going live!

Happy New Year, Dan!

This would be great. I missed out on splinsterland because I thought it was complicated, but I just realized it was because I didn't start with them. This is an opportunity to start with Ragnarok. Nice one. Compliment of the season.

I don't think the ghost piece is a great idea anymore.

If the positioning is exactly like chess people are going to cheat at the chess part with grandmaster analysis.
I guess analysis like this will be used anyway... luckily it will only help a small percent of the time.

Are you implying that players can forfeit the game to stop their king from taking damage?

Or is one king going to die every game no matter what?

> Are you implying that players can forfeit the game to stop their king from taking damage?

That's an interesting idea, besides surrendering at the beginning of the game which I believe it's already included and was talked about in the long presentation of the game.

A player can forfeit anytime without taking damage to their king. We have debated if a tiny amount of damage should be done. Will revisit this in testing.

I think it all depends on how much fun the game is :)

I could imagine because of the unique game design it could build a strong core community around it.

But for casuals it could be difficult to have success as far can see :)

After I the video I become another question,

What ELO/ MMR + match-making system will be used?

There is a change to abuse ELO/ MMR games at times not many people play. If you earn more Coins for longer games, you can play yourself.

Because of the Return in EXP coins, it could be profitable because of the ranking.

The Match Making system is something I'm really interested in.

GM!

If there is a max number of NFTs, with a max level each, does that mean it is possible to calculate the theoretical number of battles needed to get to full max cards? In other words, can the game eventually max out?

There will be an Alternative Advancement system, think Everquest. These will cost exp. AA's can be expanded and expanded to continue to give exp coins value after all are capped. But the mining process will take years, and with spells, weapons, which both can have alternative variations "trees" - and people will likely want to play around with diff setups. Unstacking exp coins come with a fee, which will keep demand there.

The goal is to allow the feeling of accomplishment IE, I powered up my deck, and it stays powered up without losing value for exp coins.

Nice post

Wow Congrats 🥰

Congrats 🎈🎊

Nice! So the chess pieces can be pre-positioned for the element of surprise and to take advantage of terrain elements and it won't be a standard positioning.

Sounds cool to me, I'd even like to play.

I am new in this world, my son is more practical than me with only 15 years old haha.

I will ask for your help, and I will stay tuned.

Blessings.

Thanks for this frsture.

Interesting game my brother. i want to play it :)

It is always good to see the expansion of the hive blockchain. We are at the center of the cryptocurrency world. Hive is growing into more than a social media network. Ragnarok is a game that can really help to grow the ecosystem.

When we see Web 3.0 starting to emerge, it is hard to overlook the fact DeFi is interwoven throughout things people traditionally do for free. With Ragnarok there are tokens along with NFTs. It will be fun to have the Hive Backed Dollar as a core coin.

Here is a detailed summary article about the key topics discussed in the TheyCallMeDan episode:

Ragnarok AMA Recap: Exploring the Innovative Game Design and Tokenomics

In a recent episode, TheyCallMeDan provided an in-depth look at the upcoming blockchain-based game, Ragnarok. The discussion covered various aspects of the game's design and mechanics, as well as the innovative tokenomics that aim to drive long-term engagement and value.

Rental Market and Card Ownership

One of the core features of Ragnarok is the rental market for game cards. Rather than requiring players to own every card they want to use, the rental system allows for a more accessible and efficient model. TheyCallMeDan explained that the rental market is akin to a real estate market, where "renters" can access the cards they need without having to purchase them outright. This approach is intended to encourage broader participation, as new players may not need to acquire a full deck of cards to be competitive.

Earning EXP Coins and the Yearly Tournament

Players in Ragnarok will earn EXP coins through their in-game actions and victories. These EXP coins can then be used to level up and upgrade their cards, spells, and other game elements. Importantly, the EXP coins are not directly purchasable, but must be earned through gameplay.

The yearly Ragnarok tournament is the primary event that players will be competing for. This high-stakes, year-long competition will offer significant rewards, including a share of the accumulated HBD interest generated by the game's economy. TheyCallMeDan envisions the yearly tournament payouts becoming increasingly lucrative as the game's ecosystem grows, potentially reaching millions of dollars in value.

Gameplay Mechanics and Progression

Ragnarok's gameplay combines elements of chess, poker, and collectible card games. The game board is designed to encourage strategic positioning and maneuvering, with different piece types having unique abilities and strengths. Players will need to carefully manage their resources, including spells, armor, and weapons, as they progress through the game.

One of the key design goals is to create a sense of long-term progression and investment. Unlike many games where players can quickly max out their characters, Ragnarok is intended to have a much longer development curve. Leveling up cards, unlocking new spells, and acquiring rare equipment will be a gradual process, fostering a deep sense of accomplishment as players build out their decks.

Tokenomics and Sustainability

The Ragnarok team has put significant thought into the game's tokenomics, aiming to create a sustainable and valuable ecosystem. The EXP coins earned through gameplay are intended to be highly valuable, as they will be the primary means of upgrading and enhancing a player's in-game assets. Additionally, the yearly tournament payouts, funded by the accumulated HBD interest, are designed to provide a significant incentive for long-term participation.

The team has also considered the balance between mineable and purchasable in-game items, seeking to strike a balance that preserves the sense of earned progression while still providing avenues for players to acquire the resources they need.

Community-Driven Development and Governance

Ragnarok is being developed with a strong emphasis on community involvement and governance. The initial test net phase will simulate a full year of the Ragnarok tournament, allowing the community to provide feedback and help refine the game mechanics. Once the test net is complete, the game's launch will be determined by a community vote, with NFT holders serving as the governing body.

TheyCallMeDan expressed a desire to empower the community to take an active role in the game's development, from contributing to the design process to potentially running social media channels and other supporting initiatives.

Overall, the Ragnarok project showcases a thoughtful and innovative approach to blockchain-based gaming. By prioritizing long-term engagement, strategic gameplay, and community-driven governance, the team aims to create a unique and compelling experience that could help drive mainstream adoption of web3 technologies.
