I see that the Sloth bot now publishes a daily post relative to the start of the current Round. 🦥

It was weird indeed when the Sloth game bot published exactly at 00:00 UTC in-between game rounds. 🤖🤯🦥
Sloth and steady progress, we're moving in the right direction, at a sloths pace :D
It would be fine if your Sloth game would discourage bots from "playing", but only if it does not also affect real human players (such as being falsely flagged as a bot). 🧘♂️🦥

Indeed, the age-old battle for any game, especially those involving money. We have many systems in place to deter, detect, and remove bots that exploit the game. Our intention is to make things as hard as possible for bots whilst as easy as possible for human players- no easy challenge! We think there is enough content in the game to reward players, so bots cannot gain a significant advantage; however, we continue to monitor and adjust as necessary.
I think that the delay in executing any command (buy Bees, buy sloths, stake Honey, stake Honeycomb, raid others, among others) which often takes about 10 seconds is already a "natural barrier" against bots. 🦥

Yeah, the 3 second blocks slow things down a little anyways, so bots would need to be programmed around that. We have some bots in the game, although they don't seem to be the 'top' players, so i guess, we're mostly on the right track to 'defeat' them :)
Whoever operates those bots would consider it a "win" simply by being within the Top 10 players at the end of any given Round. 🤖🦥

Honestly, most of the suspected bots fell outside the top 10, so they're not actually taking much from the game, which gives us hope that 'real' players will do best here, not bots.
It's hard to accurately categorize if some active "player" on your Sloth game is a bot 🤖indeed. 🦥 At least, human players of your game don't seem to be affected by bots. 🧘♂️
