Sloth(buzz) Mining War and the Experimental Account

Image from the media section

I've been play Slothbuzz mining war for a couple of weeks now. It's not officially released but is playable.

It's a HIVE based game that is both a mining simulator/tycoon type game with pvp elements.

There are weekly rounds but I think the next few rounds are going to be shorter for testing I will not be playing the shorter rounds there is not enough time to catch up if you are not there right when it starts which for me is about 4 am.

The week long rounds do allow folks to catch up but there is still a pretty heavy advantage for those who get in first.

I am playing it on this account as well as this week I am also playing on the experimental @alicorn account. I started with just 1 HIVE n that account. That account has not used any boosters and started about 20 hours late. it's still in the top 10 and will likely finish in positions between 6 and 8.

I have received a little payout on that account from the game by staking honey in the pot . Honey is an in game currency. I haven't earned a lot this round but considering I put 1 HIVE in I have received n that account 0.16 from the game and i should received a few HIVE once the round finishes for reaching the top 10.

The @alicorn is still being built up and the game is a fun way to see where I can get to from 1 HIVE. I am powering up any earnings I get on that account as a beneficiary in posts so that i can track just the winnings from the game.

This account started about 6 or maybe 8 hours after the round started and I am currently in 3rd place. i will likley finish between 2nd and 4th place on this account.

There's not much learning curve to the game. I think it's pretty intuitive and it's explained pretty well on the website. That said there are different strategies folks can use.

It's a semi idle game. I personally just check on it throughout the day and buy more honey miners as I can. Others are more active in the PVP aspect.

Thing are still in the testing phase and are changing a lot. I will probably revisit this after the next few rounds when the next week long round starts after they've done some testing. The next time I play I may use some of the funds form my winning on the @alicorn account to get some boosters. though I do want that account for now to be more focused on staking honey than the leaderboard just to test it out.

I do kind of wish the leaderboard was points based instead of just top ten. It's based on honey production if they based that on a points system than a lot more people than the top 10 could be paid out proportionately. Just my opinion.
