Let's hope that they did not join just before the end of the previous round! 🦥

Anything from now counts.
I think it's okay for some players to join just before the end of a Round, since they will lose a maximum of 1 HIVE and they get to experience the game before the next round. 🤔
!MMB !ALIVE !HOPE !STRIDE !BBH
Yes, but some people don't feel good about it because they may feel they lost one HIVE, and they didn't even have time to understand the game because the round finished, and now it's asking for another HIVE.
Fairness is important in this case.
Perhaps the entrance fee in the game should be lowered for players who entered a Round late. 💸🦥
!MMB !ALIVE !HOPE !INDEED !BBH
1 HIVE is already too low... in my view, and if you put things too low, you start incentivising "idiots" :D that have ideas and just want to brute-force the system.
I think one HIVE is ideal... ideally, you want to prevent the ones that just skim rewards with automated bots. So, the amount possible to be taken from the honey pot+fighting boss, should never be possible to pay the entry without some substancial "gamging" done.
This to prevent or disincentivise the creation of bots.
I don't know how joining the game late in a Round (regardless of the entry fee being reduced from its normal price or not) would be an advantage for bots, since such bots can simply join a game Round early and "bot around". 🤯

Yeah, they pretty much did, last day anyways, but hopefully it gave them some time to understand the game. These next 2 24-hour rounds are going to catch people out too...
but soon we're back to 7 days!
Let's just say that they lost a maximum of 1 HIVE (the fee for entering the round) that way. 🧘♂️
!MMB !ALIVE !HOPE !INDEED !BBH
Yeah, but 1 Hive is worth the experience of learning the game :D
They may also have managed to flip a booster, or grab a slice of one of the pots too! Maybe even a sloth or two for advantage in this round!
Yes, the 32,000 Honey drops somewhat help late participants of the Sloth game. 🦥
!MMB !ALIVE !HOPE !INDEED !BBH
We're also looking to add more bonuses for 'late starters' to try help them catch up, I don't like people joining late and just 'losing '; we want them to at least have a slothly chance of participating in a meaningful way!
But that also plays into the round system, so a new player can wait until the start of a new round before joining and compete with everyone else! As Cryptounicorn showed in the last round, there is strategy involved! :)
Perhaps add score multipliers for them for Ranking purposes, such that someone who joins halfway through a round will get more or less twice the score than those who joined earlier or later. 🤔 That's still up to you to find the best rate depending on how late a player joins the round. 🤯
!MMB !ALIVE !HOPE !STRIDE !BBH
Yes, interesting idea; it's something we will need to test out and find the best solution.
Our current thinking is simply to give them a 'welcome' bonus of honey to get them started...We'll continue to weigh up the options.
The score multipliers should be assigned in such a way that players who joined early in the round (and plays actively) still has the advantage. 🧘♂️
