Time for another new round! Not many changes this round; Dev decided to add a SlothShard reset to see if that makes a difference to the whales/little guy dynamic...
Seems the main issue is @thewobs and his constant attacking anything that moves...hopefully this round he'll take his foot off the attack button and let the little guys grow?
yeah would be nice if he starts using the buttons 😂. this bot will be punished 😂
Seems only fair, it's an interesting strategy if using one account, not so much if using multiple, ruins the game for the smaller players. Everything requires balance!
What happens with the last honeypot? It ends at the same time as the round so it cannot be claimed.
Humm... good point. Looks like it didn't get distributed. Likely the timer reset, so it wasn't distributed.
Any funds would automatically roll into the next round if it isn't paid out.
Maybe its a good thing, would mainly be the whale getting rewarded in that pool anyway, they get enough from the leaderboard... Should we change it or leave it as it? (open question to all)
I didn't get anything paid out. The prediction showed about 0.6 Hive for me in the last minutes. And it didn't roll over as it started from zero.
The funds would have rolled into this round's feed, so they weren't lost, but I understand they weren't paid out. We'll look to have it fixed.
I'm joining you too 😀
Got you some incentive... the sooner you join the more potential rewards you have on the running round.
Ok ok I'm going to join it now 😃 Thank you 😃
I am in for the first time. Still trying to figure it out. Is there any walk through? or a tutorial?
There's a couple of posts on Hive already, but the basics are:
oin the game
Claim your honey pot
Hire miners - bees first!
Bees create honey. Their mining rate is your leaderboard position.
Honey can be burnt for the burn-em-honey pot, or used to buy more bees/sloth.
Hire Sloth miners:
Sloths mine slothshards; this is your attack/defence.
Attack other players and steal their honey, or attack the boss and earn a share of his pool!
Plus the hot potatoes - booster/game sponsor: buy em, get the rewards, hope someone buys them off you for immediate profit, or hold 'em and reap their reward longer-term, giving you an edge over the enemy!
