A LOT has gone on in the last 2 weeks with me and my Splinterlands Gaming and we are going to dive into it now!
This one took me a long time to wrestle with because I had nothing bad against my old clan. I still love you all. BUT my new/old friend 
So after talking to all the people and everyone being okay with moving Guilds, we pulled the trigger!
We are Rank #827. Which isn't amazing but for a rag tag team of deliguents it's not bad at all!
We ran into 1 problem with our new Guild and that we needed 1 more spot filled. So I took it upon myself to create yet ANOTHER Hive account for the sole purpose of playing Splinterlands with it for Brawls.
I wanted to wait until Conclave Arcana released so I could get the new set cards instead of the Chaos Legion packs but I couldn't wait that long.
Not going to lie... I asked ChatGPT to give me fun usernames based around Viking lore and after a little back and forth we came up with "Swagnar-Ragnar" and so it stuck!
I don't intend to ever post with that account or do anything with that account except play Splinterlands. And while Blockchains are natively open to see, someone could track down all the accounts tied to me and whatever.
I had a bad experience with that on WAX where people saw I had multiple accounts and for 1 specific game started to accuse me of multi accounting and cheating.. even though you could very clearly tell by the transaction dates that I never played the game with multiple accounts. I would get banned with zero reason and so created a new account and started to play again. Rinse and Repeat (which was 100% legal and stated as such in their Terms of Service).
But because of that I now make it habit to be VERY CLEAR with what accounts I own.
Cherokee4life (main account for everything)
Witness4All (my Hive Witness Account)
Swagnar-Ragnar (alt Splinterlands account)
TrocProcLock (dead account not used for anything)
I have started to change my focus a little bit with Land. I do NOT have the LAND required to have a full scale operation yet. So with that in mind I am focusing on just building up my various plots of Land 1 at a time.
Here is my current Land Holdings:
Common Jungle - starting a Research Hut Build (eta 337 days)
Common Forest - SPS Mine completed
Common Plains - Grain Farm (eta 40 days)
Rare Forest - old Grain Farm completed (I assume will be converted to Log/Wood?)
Common Forest - nothing yet
I do not have the cards necessary to really build quickly but that is okay, I am in this long haul.
I want to get 1 Plot of land for each resource and also a SPS Mine and Research Mine. (but now they introduced yet another building the other day).
Land is getting pricey though so I am going to start to have to pick up land quickly if I want to make a decent run at this.
I have 40,000 DEC ready and waiting to purchase the 4,000 DEC Standard Booster Packs of Conclave Arcana. That is 10 packs of cards and I also have enough Alchemy and Legendary Potions for them as well.
I have stopped purchasing Rebellion & Chaos Legion cards because I don't think it is worth it with a new set releasing VERY SOON.
I still do buy some Chaos Legion cards that I can use to level up existing cards that I use to work on my land but that is it.
WAX is a good place to pick up cheap Chaos Legion cards for me and then to send over in batches to HIVE.
To put my money where my mouth is. I bought 20 Standard Booster Packs already in the Pre-Sale!
So that means as of right now I will have 20 packs to open and also I earned 2 "Arcane Skinwalker" cards which is nice!
20 packs equals
20 Rare Cards (guaranteed)
80 Common Cards (guaranteed)
That is 100 total Conclave Arcana Cards with 20 at least will be Rare.
And I just realized I can't count and math very well...
For some reason I thought it was 1 potion per pack.. well time to buy more potions I guess!
Good thing I had some Glint laying around!
Now I am ready to open my packs when they are live!
My Main Splinterlands account has a decent chunk of SPS staked and I can get into Silver pretty regularly each season if I try. But now that I have a new alt account, I do not have the time to play both accounts. So I think what I might do is try out one of those auto play bots on my main account once Modern format is Conclave Arcana and Rebellion. And let him loose in Wild with all my Chaos Legion cards and such and see what damage he can do.
I know the bot takes a cut but if I truly am using that account as my main LAND account and not do battles (except brawls) then even a small portion of SPS/Glint winnings each season is great. Time will tell.
When Conclave Arcana actually releases though I am going to focus on picking up Summoners on secondary. That I think has been my biggest drawback with the Rebellion set. So if I can start out with high Summoners uhh I mean Archons or whatever then it will set me up for success down the road. I know I will pay a premium for it but I think it will work out in the long run for me.
I am officially a Hive Witness Node now. Which you can read about in my post here:
