Bonjour 👋 fellow Splinterlands Player,
This weeks "Hello" is in French Language, and as per Wikipedia, it is offical language in 29 Countries and spoken by around 270 Million people worldwide. I still remember this dialogue by Merovingian from Matrix movie
I love French wine, like I love the French language. I have sampled every language, French is my favorite. Fantastic language. Especially to curse with. bleep bleep bleep. It's like wiping your arse with silk. I love it.
😆😆😆

Financials
Currently the Hive is trading at around $0.77 quite a bit of drop compared to last week, since may of the tokens are converted to Hive and then to USD$ some values are affected by these fluctuations too. Continuing to track my finances in the game, the below data is as per today's (8th May) Snapshot
Expenses
Updates since last post
- Cards : Recently have been trying to get all 3 accounts to 15K CP so still spending on cheap CP cards whenever opportunity arises, spend around $47 in last week, now only 1 account is sub 5K soon hopefully that will be at Silver III level too
- DEC,SPS : Bought 5.46 Hive worth of DEC mainly traded from SPS to add to DEC:SPS Liquidity pool
- Chaos : Bought 10 packs in market mostly for trades
- No Changes in Spellbook, Voucher, and XCHAOS
So in last week I spent $47 on the game taking my total Splinterlands expenses to $916.73 most probably will be hitting or crossing $1K mark by next update 😲 (depending on which direction Hive to USD goes)
Revenues
Updates in this week
- Cards : No card sales in this week
- SPS,DEC : Sold/Converted worth 5.5 Hive worth to DEC to add to DEC:SPS Liquidity pool
- Chaos : Sale revenue of 54 Hive in last week
- No Changes in Spellbook, Voucher, DEC and XCHAOS
Current Revenue stands at $625.21 an increase of $10.44 compared to last update, even thought I had sales of more than 60 hive in total the decrease in Hive value itself has reduced the overall USD figure
Assets
Assets held in game or in wallet as of 5/8
- Cards : +$19.23 even though bought card worth more than $40 some of the values of old cards have depreciated a bit
- DEC : +3.86 hive Held in game and liquidity pools mostly
- SPS : -2.77 hive Mostly Staked in game and in liquidity pools, decrease in value is due to decrease of SPS price itself
- Credits : Held in game
- Chaos : None
- XChaos : Still have couple in wallets
- Voucher : Held in game (airdropped) or wallet
Total Current Assets value is $404.88 (+$6.9) including the fluctuation in all the prices
Gains
Well simple calculation for Gains = (Revenues + Asset value) - Expenses
and currently it stands at $113.35 or 12.36% of my expense of around $916 related to the game. The gains have decreased by $29.99 since last update but overall I am still happy that even with so much drops in crypto market in general, this game is generating profit for me🙂.
Liquidity Pools
- SWAP.HIVE:DEC : Shares increased by +60 due to daily 1% bonus received
- DEC:SPS : Shares increased y +457, this is the pool I am still actively adding to
- PKM:SPS : Whatever daily rewards from LP or card purchases I receive are added to this pool almost daily, shares have increased by +6.3
- VOUCHER:SPS : +0.173 Shares 🙃
- SPS Airdrop points due to liquidity pool currently at 75021(+5624) which nets me around 6.9 SPS in daily drops
Not a Financial Advice please do your own diligence before investing
Game Progress
This season, I have not being playing so actively just doing daily quests and Guild Brawls mainly and rating is fluctuating between 🥉Bronze I and 🥈Silver III leagues depending on what daily quest I am ending with.
Nothing great with the daily quest rewards too in past week have ended up with 1 Pelacor Deceiver, 45 DECs and 5 Gold potions from 6 days of reward chests
Gladius Pack Opening
Not much luck opening a Gladius pack last week, pulled a Rare Ajax Lightfoot and 4 Commons Chimney Wallstop, Katrelba Gobson, Alva the Crusher and Hugo Strongsword
🍕PIZZA 3 Hand-Tossed Guild
Our #HivePizza 3 Guild took 🥉3rd Place in brawl last week and won 18 crowns. I participated in my regular Novice Chaos legion only Fray but this time performance was not good at all, out of my 7 battles won 4👍 and lost 3👎 and got 831 merits (which helped with buying the above gladisu pack)
Brawls Report
Battle #1
 |
Since it was a relatively low Mana cap battle decided to go with 
Water splinter with Alva the Crusher in front and Wave brood in between so that he can keep opponent's back line monster's busy while Alva warm up to Bloodlust, opponent went with 
Death Splinter and well my strategy of Wave brood keeping back line worked but Alva the Crusher was tad late on activating Bloodlust then I expected but still a comfortable win
Battle #2
 |
From the limited splinters active for this battle, I am more comfortable with 
Earth and 
Dragon Splinters but since one fo the ruleset was Lost Legendaries did not see much point in using Quix the Devious as all the Dragon monsters are Legendaries so went with Obsidian with mostly magic attacks.
Lost most of the back line monsters before they could even attack due to the Explosive Weaponry ruleset, but Quora Towersheadd alone acting as Tank and with her double Melee and Magic attack single handedly won the battle
Battle #3
 |
Melee Mayhem ruleset and High mana cap of 56, thought this was going to be battle of 
Fire which it happened to be and 6 of the 4 monsters chosen by me and opponent were same, just that opponent had better placement for those monsters meaning I lost 🙂
Battle #4
 |
Back to basics ruleset in which monsters loose all abilities between the available splinters was contemplating between Fire and Earth but being Fire means mostly Melee attack and without abilities like Reach, Opportunity or Sneak most Fire monsters won't be able to attack so went with Earth Splinter, opponent choose the same and again they had better placement of monsters to counter the Explosive Weaponry ruleset (lesson learnt for me)
Battle #5
 |
Only Death and Dragon splinters active means even if I choose Quix the Devious I have to play with Death monsters not one of my favorite setup. Went with Galdiator Kotriphus Bayne as tank and Carnage Titan in second position for attack and tank and made big mistake of having all backline monsters as Magic Attack one which proved disastorous as opponent chose Thaddius Brood which reduced basically all back line monsters attack to meerly 1 😒
Battle #6
 |
Noxius Fumes ruleset and with mainly Fire and Water monsters only available went with Tarsa so I could use Forgotten One who with his Immunity ability is pretty useful for Noxius Fumes ruleset back in the line Chimney Wallstop and also added Spirit Hoarder which will help Chimney with recovering for at least one round which proved very useful as this battle went till last monster standing in both sides🙂
Battle #7
 |
No Mana Limit battle with no Magic attack monsters due to Lost Magic ruleset this was going to be selection between Fire and Dragon splinters, and since there was Close range ruleset too I thought opponent might use more Ranged attack monsters so went with Quix the Devious with Fire monsters with front lineup with Melee attackers and tanks and back with multiple Ranged attackers in case if opponent also chose Dragon. Opponent chose Tarsa and it was kind of comfortable win for me.
