RE: Splinterlands: an uncertain horizon?

Just leave it and make it harder i wouldnt ban bots outright or have a gatekeeper. There will be alot of negative impacts to which would probably be seen when those bots dump cards and other things on the market much faster so they can liquidate there holdings. Need to figure out some way around this happening. I dont think all bots are bad i run one bot for my account while I cant play it gives me a little extra and gets me a bit farther when i cant play so it doesnt take as long and anyone can do it for 20-300 bucks its not very expensive if you wanted to buy a archmage A or B or xbot or a diff provider. My other concern is that they do provide players when there may not be any or it may take forever to find a match. There are positive impacts of ppl running a few bots not thousands but i wouldnt say ppl running 1 - 5 bots are a real issue.

Since the focus update, I use Archmage. I agree with you that some bots have a positive impact on the game. It's as you say the number of bots that create problems, typically bronze leagues that are infested with bot farms, it's just unplayable for beginners and so demotivating.
There are bots that play instead of players and there are bots that steal the rewards of the game, like a cash cow.
Im a investor and anything that increases my ROI as well as lets me have my own account to play as well while making a bunch of money so i can continue to play and also hopefully in a few years get a exit on my Splinterlands Common Stock but not until the market can support at least a 500 million valuation for the company shares and the SPS DAO would need to probably be at .15-.25 for me to sell say half and same with GLX and TD which i will likely sell half my packs the second the sps runs out but keep some for the game. The GLG packs im deff selling 3/4 and then using 1/4 to play with and the profit from he 3/4 will go to buy sps and glx as will as a addition to the stable coin reserve LP to keep cash coming in to purchase risky bets like this without losing principle. I have to think about the game from a player, a investor in the business of the game and a stockholder of Steemmonsters Corp. So whats best is not always clear because pretty much i make out one way and possibly get boned another way as nothing is free its a zero sum game. Some parts im just learning to play and damn if i new some of this stuff years ago ppl are getting robbed blind by some of these bid ask spreads and now i put a bid and a ask on every one that is huge like 1-10X and ill actually get small fills which is crazy. The more pairs i do it with the better chance i have in getting a bunch of high spread trades.Also curate the shit out of yourself using like 20 accounts you can just triple the rewards you would get and acutally outpace the inflation. You deff need to play to either make money or just have fun. I am even going to hive to post my articles again and resteam them 25-30 times to get more votes. Also hosting a 50/50 lottery daily and a progressive lottery where it goes until someone wins and each time no winner a management fee of 15% comes out to cover costs. These tokens some have like tiny market caps and you can basically acquire the majority of the tokens and then you can make the rules into a profitable trade when you conrol the outcome. If you think anything is not rigged for curation today better take a look its pretty rigged which i do intend to just brute force take over a few tokens i want basically to say fuck you to them and they cant do shit about it bc i deff have enough capital to just keep pounding at them at all fronts and they will deff not be able to defend them all.
my bot is usually in diamond 1 for half the season it will make it to champion soon just need to buy all the rest of the cards for the legendary undamed and some A/B cards as well as i want all the promos not gold except when it makes sense like some gold are closer to there dec burn value than regular cards. Mihgt as well get gold. Already have that gold lux which is sweet ended up getting that at splinterfest. When i bet on this game in the start up round i just looked at a spread sheet and talked to Matt and Aggie and asked if i could get in on this and own some equity and the great part i found out i own all of it Splinterlands, Genesis League Sport and the new platform there selling, Tower Defense plus my position in the SPS, GLX and SPT and SPT i intend to go after to get 51% to force a vote on the threshold and cut off a few things to make it a bit more valueable as well as creating a card treasury to create a guild behind it as well as a botted team to play while no one else is or let NIFTY manage it. Same for oneup im going for that next and just going to add some value behind it. Get a bunch of cheap cards hand them out a ton plus have a bunch of random coins like the 400 million NFTM i bought over the years for like 30 bucks as well as other tokens i dont want which will add more value and push up the price of SPLG and i can use that to control the initial sale which will be used to create a stable coin investment club that uses interest or fees to invest in riskyer assets but never risking the principle. I think im going to price the round at 10000 initial units at 2 dollars each and 5 attached restricted units per unit to purchase additional units 5 years from now at a 50% discount from FMV. The DAO may decide to also convert the value of the options into 5 year interest only debt at 10% paid 2 times per year. At the end the debt plus interest will be converted into a combination of 20% preferred stock with a cummulative distribution of 8% and a par value of 20 dollars and 80% will be converted to common stock at FMV at the time less a 25% discount. The stock will only be sellable over a 10 week period for half and the other half will be a lump sump at the end of 12 months. Also since we will manage both the debt and equity the management fee for both as well as expenses such as record keeping, k-1 preparation, state k-1s, foreign tax reporting, active vs passive income, Income by activity, various tax credit computaitons, books and records for semi annual updates. Distributions will be paid weekly for any income in kind so that no tax is recognized as it goes against tax basis first. We will also be researching varous new methods in the space and taking a large r and d credit along with a ny r and d credit, ny property tax abatement for 10 years, ny income tax abatement for 10 years, Looking to purchase land in the USVI to build a pole barn that is pretty much a house and a station for all my equipment as i plan on mining various tokens as well as leasing out the solar power i plan to surround the land i buy with and build little guest miner huts for ppl to rent out by paying a low base and 50% of there profits. Also will be hosting staking as a service while tokens are low like xtx is at .8 i can easily buy 8000, solana can stake with one, atom will probablly use a service, eth will use lido or another service, stable coins will be 80% of the portfolio with 75% going to increase stable coins and interest and 25% going to things like spl that way the principle is always growing and may get a big gain at some point. Im working out tht logistics for the club and I think im giong to use Tribevest as they are ment for investment clubs and others can see what your doing and join if you let them so a good way to get capital. Also the legal aspect they take care of it with a Cayman Islands LLC all set up for you and keep track of the members etc. If i can raise a few hundred thousand this year liker 500-1000K then ill be on a beautiful track to have say 80% producing 15-25% in many lp positions as well as traditional equities and private deals like voyayer opp fund and the rest will be for trading crypto, Will always keep you principal safe and growing and let you take some risk which will eventually build up to a large position. Probably starting with maybe 50K my self so hopefully others will jump in with 10-100K. I have a few ppl who will put 50-100K in just need to get it all set up.

i may just create my own experiment with like 30 bots see how much money they make. If there making alot maybe ill build some tough bots with cards they are not used to and destroy them and limit my level to silver and just keep losing when i wnat to go down and see if i can be profitable even with just one or two bots with way jacked up cards for the level.
