Episode 63: A Sylar Conversation
Welcome back to the People's Guild. The bus finds itself in the U.K. for this episode as we sit down with a guest who has found himself placed indirectly at the forefront of the battle for Modern format. He's responsible for all things XBOT and has been diligently leading an innovative team of one through a series of updates, new products and services in attempt to navigate the massive flurry of in-game changes throughout the last year.
Please join us as we welcome Sylar to the show.
We hear the tale of our guest's journey through professional software development to using his skills to develop solutions for his own personal gaming pleasure. We then gain an understanding of how he found himself in our corner of the Hive blockchain and his subsequent landing at the top of the Splinterlands' automation game that seems to always be a hot topic.
Sylar shares his thoughts of what's to come with the recently passed proposal that will relegate all bots to the Wild format, what he expects of his Battle Helper service moving forward and shares his thoughts with us as to what's sure to be a watershed moment for the Splinterlands ecosystem.
Stay tuned and enjoy the show!

Thanks for sharing! - @azircon
As I mentioned earlier elsewhere, there is NO direct burn mechanism between HBD and Hive. Also HBD is barely traded in any exchanges, and where is does, there is little liquidity. Majority of the HBD is traded in the internal market. It is virtually impossible to pull a Luna like scenario with HBD.
That above factual element was incorrect in the interview, otherwise, very nice.
By the way, in my opinion 'battle helper' is a cheating mechanism in tournament and brawl :)
But I do agree it is NOT a bot.
Thank you for clarifying, Azircon. I've since read that precautions have been put in place since the Terra-Luna collapse - reassuring to know that Hive has taken and continues to take appropriate measures to protect the ecosystem.
Would personally love to see battle helper also be relegated to strictly wild, but I would settle for all brawls and some tournaments being safe from any sort of assistance in gameplay.
Appreciate you listening and taking the time to stop by the post dude!
I listen to every post/podcast by you. Sometimes multiple times.
I am big fan of spoken words. Also you guys do a good job
Thank you for the high praise! We've got a few guests coming up in the next couple of weeks that I'm super excited about - some folks we don't hear from all that often are in the pipeline 😎
An amazing podcast.
You guys show that, you not only love Splinterlands, but you have done your homework to ask @sylar the right questions.
@Sylar, great respect to you, your perpective, love of gaming, automation, and anything that tickles that amazing mind of yours.
Keep on dropping these Champion League interviews!
Thank you for the high praise, amigo 😎
And we've gotta echo your comments to Sylar - the innovation propels the team, this community and our collective ecosystem forward and keeps this whole thing going. Excited to what other projects come from team XBOT and beyond!
Upward & onward!
Good show.Thanks 👍
Cheers Micaheal! Appreciate ya continuing to follow along - pumped ya have been enjoying the episodes!
