Community Contest: Create a NEW Splinterlands Ability!
š„ Community Contest: Create a NEW Splinterlands Ability! š„
Summonersā¦ today the balance of power is in your hands.
Abilities are what turn ordinary monsters into legends in Splinterlands. They create metas, counter strategies, and sometimes complete chaos on the battlefield.
So this time, weāre flipping the script.
š What ability would YOU add to Splinterlands if you were a game designer?
This is your chance to invent something brilliant, strategic, ridiculous, or terrifyingly powerful.
And yes ā simple ideas can win.
š§ The Challenge
Design one brand-new ability that could exist in Splinterlands.
It can be:
A clever counter to current strategies
A completely new mechanic
A lore-inspired power
Or something hilariously chaotic (as long as it makes sense!)
No art.
No long essays.
Just your idea.

BPC Locked On Mc Franko & The Franko
Blurt Stands ā While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows
Friends, creators, truth-tellersā
Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.
There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissentābut because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves spaceānot sabotage.
On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as ācurators.ā
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouragedāespecially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.
Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.
On Hive.blogāa place once brimming with promiseāa rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcersā@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppetsāhave turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at ālow-quality content,ā but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.
And when confronted, they shrug.
āOh, itās not censorship,ā they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.
But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence manyāunder the guise of ācommunity standardsā or ācurationāāthat is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.
It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.
Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.
Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.
So let us carry this truth far and wideānot with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:
If you seek a place where your voice is not a targetābut a giftācome to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votesālay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be freeānot just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace themāthen stand with us.
The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfectābut because it is principled.
Not because it is loudābut because it listens.
And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.
Keep speaking.
Keep sharing.
Keep building.
Freedom doesnāt advertise itselfā
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.
And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:
Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hiveās governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hiveās decentralized ethos.
Key Concerns:
Systemic Manipulation:
Community Exodus:
Governance Crisis:
Solutions Needed:
The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hiveās future depends on collaborationānot coercion. Letās rebuild a platform where truth isnāt buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.
Transparency isnāt optionalāitās the foundation of trust.
#HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"
A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates
Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victoryāit is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the communityās trust.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,
How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? Itās almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everythingāevery action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hiveās community-driven ethos.
Key Issues to Address:
A Path Forward:
The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Letās work toward healing, not division.
Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"
@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with peopleās livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant toāas a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.
Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.
Because the truth wonāt disappear. No amount of lies can change it.
Itās over.
The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE āfor the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.
@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth standānot because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one personās approval or disdain.
TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices harm not just individual usersāthey undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.

IGN: Jovak
Ability Name : One Of A Kind
Ability Effect : This card ignores all rulesets/splinters. Can always be played in any format. Mana cost must be paid.
Why this card would be fun or useful : This card never 'rotates out' so it should always keep its value. Because it ignores rulesets/splinters it can always be played in any match in any format. Ignoring rulesets could even hurt the card (if this card is melee it would ignore supersneak, inspire,etc)
IGN: Tidepodreos
Ability Name: You are Getting Sleepy
Ability Effect: This card randomly gives one of your opponent's cards weary each turn.
Why this card would be fun or useful: There aren't any effective counters against Heliose the Hollow. This would be one. Even if the opponent doesn't play Heliose, weary can still stop cards from acting and give you a win.
IGN : ourfadedglory
Ability Name: Inebriate
Ability Effect: (What does it do? Keep it clear and simple.)
When hit this monster deals 1 damage to attacking monster and gives the attacking monster scattershot.
Why This Ability Would Be Fun or Useful:
(Short explanation ā strategy, lore, or chaos welcome.)
This ability would come with the new twitch drop card (Arena Bar Maiden). She's a beauty and would be a support card with this inebriate and the strengthen ability. Why this because how will our arena fanatic get his beverages... š¤·āā

STOPIGN: ehmaywuntee
Ability Name: Pocket Knife
Ability Effect: Ranged cards gain 1 melee damage upon reaching the front position; melee buffs do not increase this damage.
Why Fun/Useful: Ranged cards have historically been some of the very last cards to consider playing and a big part of this is once they reach the front, the majority of them become a no attack meat shield. They are also typically placed in the very rear of the lineup because of this no attack situation. In some form of reality though, they should be able to smack you with their bow, poke you with an arrow, or pull out a small knife and still attempt a tiny amount of damage. Keeping it at 1 and limiting it to only receiving the melee once in the 1st position makes it not become a full on dual attack card and also means shield cards take 0 damage to help balance things.
