I am 100% in support here. I am also very sorry that you've received such abuse. The SPL Maverick community needs to take a step back, and cease sabotaging their own game.
I do not take part in Mav chat myself because I think it is often toxic and always a waste of energy. I post in the Tavern or on Twitter instead :).
Yes, I, too, have avoided Mav mainly because I didn't have time for it and building games, having jobs, etc. So, when I engaged due to my proposal, I was quite shocked by the behavior and chat.
As far as your support, that's wonderful! Thank you so very much! I just want Splinterlands to become a known game and this opportunity was just another avenue to do that.
