What @slothlydoesit said, but until people undrestand that constanly attacking everyone to gain more honey is the only way to gain "whale" moment... people will keep being under.
Being a whale on this game and not being able to attack is pointless... so I am keeping on attacking to show it matters. And if that needs to be changed... Fine! :D
As long people can keep having fun.

does attacking shield me from getting attacked? How can I stake sloth shards for defense?
shield reduces attacks destruction by half...
But the best way to power up is to shard up early... I did it... so I got an advantage.
The game needs to change that as super power!
now this just has to hold for 7 days
Good luck :D

Yes, when you attack, you enter a 15-minute cooldown during which you cannot attack or be attacked (the same cooldown is added if you are attacked).
You can't 'stake' slothshards for defence; any you have are simply used as a shield before the attack lands. If the attacker doesn't send enough, he won't steal any honey from you.
Being proactive is the best defence. (The game may be called Sloths Mining War, but you need a lot of buzz to be the best :D )
I've checked the PvP log and I see many cases where someone raided a player and in a few minutes another player raided it. So in practice NO, attacking won't protect you from incoming raids.
I agree, we might need to balance it out slightly more, allowing people to combine their attacks on whales, or reducing the number of attacks per day to allow players a slightly more slothful experience. We're still weighing up all options and will make some adjustments as we progress!
It's great to see how players strategise, and it always gives us more to think about when we see players taking different approaches!
I think you have been doing lots of adjustments... so I can't complain. Really great reactive development where people who can understand development can really contribute.
I am just one... a bugger one :D But a dedicated one for a purpose.
