Splinterlands Community Engagement Challenge: Support Articles

Let's start with what I think is essential for Managers:

Do’s:

• Establish Clear Expectations - Clearly outline the responsibilities of both parties from the start. Include details about game time, performance metrics, and any revenue-sharing agreements.

• Communicate Regularly - Keep open lines of communication. Regular check-ins help address concerns, provide guidance, and foster a positive relationship.

• Provide Training and Resources - Equip scholars with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed. Share gameplay tips, strategies, and resources to improve their skills.

• Be Fair and Transparent - Treat all scholars equally. Ensure that your decisions regarding rewards and penalties are consistent and justified.

• Encourage Feedback - Create an environment where scholars feel comfortable providing feedback. Use it to improve the scholarship experience for everyone.

Don’ts:

• Avoid Micromanaging - Trust your scholars to play the game. Micromanaging can lead to frustration and a lack of motivation.

• Neglect Scholar Well-being - Be mindful of your scholars’ time and mental health. Encourage breaks and remind them that the game should be enjoyable, not a source of stress.

• Set Unrealistic Goals - Avoid imposing overly ambitious targets that may discourage scholars. Goals should be achievable and motivating.

• Ignore Scholar Contributions - Acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of your scholars. Recognition can foster loyalty and motivation.

• Overlook Fair Play - Ensure that scholars are following the rules of the game. Enforce fair play standards to maintain the integrity of the scholarship.

And now for Scholars:

Do’s:

• Understand the Agreement - Familiarize yourself with the terms of the scholarship. Know your responsibilities and what is expected of you.

• Communicate Openly - If you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to your manager. Transparency fosters trust and understanding.

• Ask Questions - If you’re unsure about strategies or gameplay mechanics, seek guidance. Learning from your manager can enhance your performance.

• Practice Regularly - Consistent practice is key to improving your skills. Set aside dedicated time to play and learn.

• Provide Feedback - Share your thoughts on the scholarship experience. Constructive feedback can help improve the program for future scholars.

Don’ts:

• Neglect Your Responsibilities - Failing to fulfill your commitments can negatively impact your relationship with your manager. Be accountable for your role.

• Compare Yourself to Others - Every player progresses at their own pace. Focus on your growth and enjoy the journey without constant comparison.

• Ignore the Community - Engage with the broader Splinterlands community. Networking with other players can provide valuable insights and support.

• Overcommit Your Time - Don’t stretch yourself too thin. Balance gaming with other commitments to avoid burnout.

• Disregard Fair Play - Play fairly and respectfully. Cheating or exploiting the game can harm your reputation and that of your manager.

By following these best practices, both managers and scholars can create a thriving scholarship ecosystem in Splinterlands. Open communication, clear expectations, and mutual respect are the cornerstones of a successful partnership. Let’s work together to foster a positive environment that encourages growth, enjoyment, and fairness for all players. Happy gaming!
