----------------------------------- #### Botting: * Bot services are starting to get their hands into Tournametns and Brawls * From the team perspective, it is very difficult to determine what is a bot account * Some people use bots to analyze the rulesets and mana caps to determine the best lineup and submit the lineup automatically * Some people use bots to generate the best lineup and then the player submits manually * This problem of allowing bots in Tournaments & Brawls is not as simple as allowing vs not allowing bots * Ideally, the team wants to remain decentralized and not gatekeep what account can play and what account can't play * The team wants to build an environment where bots are allowed, but they just don't have an advantage over actual players ----------------------------------- #### Splinterlands Business: * Splinterlands is growing in the bear market * Market obviously impacts revenue overall, but Splinterlands remains strong * There should be no concerns with company revenue and if it will impact the team's development roadmap ----------------------------------- #### Land Workers: * The same Reward Point bonuses that are applied during Ranked Rewards will more than likely apply to the Land Worker bonuses as well * Gold Foil * Alpha/Beta * Promo ![SPL_Divider.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/brybro27/23tGyZ5NPR2aiYdMurHVxWRHMTzYGnXpJng6ujfWm5ZiQjjzivFiJD8SDHYmGgHtyVh2X.png) ## <center> 👀 Eye Candy 👀 </center> #### <center>Tower Defense - Eye of View</center> ![](https://i.imgur.com/N5XsRTW.jpg) ----------------------------------- #### <center>Tower Defense - Slime Lord</center> ![](https://i.imgur.com/AynLXV7.jpg) ----------------------------------- #### <center>Tower Defense - Defense Selection UI</center> <center>![](https://i.imgur.com/QijmB4j.jpg)</center> ----------------------------------- #### <center>Kain Hace Animation - First CL Legendary Airdrop</center> <center>![](https://i.imgur.com/M7PMVx1.gif)</center> ----------------------------------- #### <center>RUNI Unleashed - Upcoming RUNI Lore Page</center> ![](https://i.imgur.com/FUcguyL.jpg) ----------------------------------- #### <center>RUNI Manage Page</center> ![](https://i.imgur.com/HAHMxcN.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/yaGRZxN.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/dOhBxA1.jpg) ----------------------------------- #### <center>Non-Card Market</center> ![](https://i.imgur.com/y2dxDdi.jpg) ![SPL_Divider.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/brybro27/23tGyZ5NPR2aiYdMurHVxWRHMTzYGnXpJng6ujfWm5ZiQjjzivFiJD8SDHYmGgHtyVh2X.png) ## <center> 🎞 Past AMA Summaries 🎞 </center> * **[Monday, October 31st, 2022](https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@splinterlands/splinterlands-town-hall-summary-october-31st-2022-1pm-eastern)** * SPS Proposals 🕸 * Tentative Release Notes 🕸 * RUNI, Lux Vega, & Many More!
