I see that the Sloth bot now publishes a daily post relative to the start of the current Round. 🦥
!MMB !ALIVE !STRIDE !PIZZA !BBH
yes
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). 🧘♂️🦥
!MMB !WINEX !HEARTBEAT !PIZZA !BBH
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. 🦥
!MMB !ALIVE !HEARTBEAT !PIZZA !BBH
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. 🤖🦥
!MMB !WINEX !HEARTBEAT !PIZZA !BBH
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. 🧘♂️

Hey @nupulse, please don't spend lots of Hive on this round... until it ends. Things are going to reset on sloths. Learn and enjoy while you are experimenting with the game (day by day), and ask away any questions...
yes, lol, not sure of what I'm doing but I think I only spent 1 HIVE for now
yep, you need 1 HIVE to start exploring at least. But that one is kind of ok.
Your first priority will be to claim the drop and immediately spend on the most expensive Bee (on the "overview" panel).
Tooo late :D You upgrade from the most expensive to the less one... because the price increases the more you buy. So there is an efficiency ratio.
If you divide the honey/day for the cost of upgrade (example, Wax-O-Bee is 450/1121=0.40), you can find the upgrade that gives you more honey at all times.
The Nec-T-Bee first upgrade is 3150/1000=3.15 vs the 0.4 on the Wax-O-Bee, makes it way more efficient to wait for buying the Nec-T-Bee.
But obviously there is a limit on how long you should wait... too much time waiting loses efficiency too.
ok, little by little 😅
Honey game feels good man. !SLOTH !PEPE !LADY !INDEED !WEIRD !ZOMBIE !HOPE !STRIDE

LOHtokens.@pepetoken, you successfully shared 0.1000 LOH with @shw-game and you earned 0.1000 LOH as tips. (1/4 calls)
Use !LADY command to share LOH! More details available in this post.
Peperhaps you would sooner or later have a "PEPE War game" which is slightly different than your existing PEPE frog card battle game !INDEED. 🐸 !WINEX !PIZZA !HEARTBEAT !PEPE

When you mine HBIT, you're also playing the Wusang: Isle of Blaq game. 🏴☠️ | tools | wallet | discord | community | daily <><
What's more, you found 1.0 🟩 BLAQEMRLD coins as a bonus treasure token!

There is a treasure chest of bitcoin sats hidden in Wusang: Isle of Blaq. Happy treasure hunting! 😃 Read about Hivebits (HBIT) or read the story of Wusang: Isle of Blaq.
Yes, there would be some !PEPE frogs who would hide underground when there is a PEPE frog war game !INDEED, and PEPE frogs can be used for nearly any kind of game. 🤣🐸 !PIZZA !HEARTBEAT !WINEX !BBH
Yes, dis one ob da challenges of pickin a game when frogs can play anything and maybe humans kan tu man! !ALIVE !UNI !ZOMBIE !INDEED !WEIRD
Humans have been used in almost every single game !INDEED, so PEPE frogs being used in games would be !FUN. 🤔🐸🐸😎 !WEIRD !MMB !PIZZA
You might want to partner with @borniet (and @tydynrain) for a different type of !PEPE game here on Hive !INDEED! 🐸 !WINEX !HOH !PIZZA !BBH

Peperhaps you would get surprised if @borniet and @tydynrain would work together into creating another PEPE game for you (here on Hive using your own PEPE token) !INDEED! 😎🐸 !MMB !BBH !ALIVE !STRIDE
I wood. ALso know they are busy bees like miselph. !INDEED 😎🐸 !UNI !ZOMBIE !ALIVE !STRIDE
While both @tydynrain and @borniet are !INDEED (very) busy in general, they won't bee too busy all the time (to start working on another PEPE game for you)! 😎🐸 !MMB !HOPE !BBH !ALIVE
Well done @savvyplayer :P
I wonder which of my Sloth game achievements in particular you were congratulating me about. 🤯 Thanks anyway. 🦥
!MMB !WINEX !HEARTBEAT !PIZZA !BBH
Think harder, you will get it! It's all on the blockchain :D - Note, I don't recall anymore, but I know if I look around the time I commented, I will find it out.
Hive has several blockchain search apps available, though if the exact words to search aren't know, it really doesn't seem efficient to simply read a lot of comments. 🤯🦥
