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.
Ha ok, yes... got it, so it becomes a "sink only" at the end of the round. OK got it. I would leave it, but maybe add some text if that's about to happen, so the players understand, as only this message is not very clear on the end of the round in my opinion:
This does not explain what is happening to the period at the end of the round. Which, in this case, is being reset, and no one will be able to win it.

Yeah, going by thedd comments, though, it's still paying out a worthy amount to the 'smaller' players as the whales focus on sloths near the end, I guess. Probably better that we simply have it paying out before the round ends (or that same pot rolls into the next round). The dev will have some work to do to ensure that happens.
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?

I am just figuring it out as being my first round.
Sloth and steady does it, if you have any questios just ask ;)

I asked one :)
Thank you for the heads up.
Please let me know how can I increase the drop rate? Where can I buy it?
The drop rate is every 8 hours; there is no option to buy it or speed it up, though that could be an interesting perk/ability to add.

Thanks, OK so it is the same drop ratio for everyone that suggests, am I right? Just trying to figure out like how the top three producing so much honey. I am ready to spend hive lol but don't know how?
Correct, everyone gets drops every 8 hours, of course, if you don't claim them you'll be further behind. The top 3 started at round start and play actively. Spending Hive isn't always needed, just being active.
Here's a more indepth guide that might help:

Thank you for the heads up. Let me go through it as I am already loving this miningwar. Excellent
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!
