RE: Splinterlands - Battle of the Week - Fire Splinter - Malric Inferno Wins Two
I like to mess around and test out as many games as I can too. Some are rewarding. I've recently started playing HashKings https://www.qwoyn.io/
I'll have to check out prospectors, I haven't done much with EOS yet so I'd like to see what it's all about
Oh, nice. A cannabis-growing themed game, which appears (at first glace) to be of simiar genre to "Prospectors". I signed up (so if that was a referral link you got a new referral), and will take a look around. I probably WON'T get too deep with this on, simply due to the limited amount of time/energy I currently have on-hand. I am on the lookout to "go deep" with games which are UNIQUE, and on diverse blockchains, and with serious marketing power behind the. For instance, when you look at the overall "presence" of "Prospectors" (YouTube search "Prospectors EOS game" : https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=prospectors+eos+game there are TONS of videos, by a DIVERSE community of people. PLus, it's on EOS / WAX, and so I can diversify with my game-play earning, WITHOUT having to tap into more BTC, and so gradually build my holdings AND diversify, while also LEARNING valuable skills and marketing stuff in the process. Contrast the YouTube presence of "Prospectors" with the equivalent Steem-based game "Drug Wars" :
The official Drug Wars channel literally has THREE videos : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkL2TKHfMD1gUd_DTiX6WGA
and a YouTube search for "Drug Wars steem game" barely returns a handful of results, NONE of which are even from the official channel!
The only game which I believe has AROUND as much presence as "Prospectors" is "SteemMonsters" (which is my primary game, as you probably know). A YouTube search for the single word "Steemmonsters" presents a similarly DENSE return as "Prospectors": https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=steemmonsters and since one of the core things which is becoming clear to me in my research at this juncture is that these games are all about COMMUNITY. If a specific game doesn't have a solid community backing it then it's destined for failure. Like with Drug Wars. They seem to be "rowing in place", and will likely NOT have long-term viability. However, that game was instrumental in PRIMING me with the skills and experience to easily get rolling with "Prospectors", which is why I am saying that it is worth one's time exploring MANY of these games, but that exploration should be done STRATEGICALLY. The main reasons why I continue to play Drug Wars are to : ( 1 ) support a STeem-based games (although there are now others), ( 2 ) to continue earning DWD with my current assets (to convert to DEC and then Steemmonsters cards), ( 3 ) as marketing analysis fodder for my weekly series posts (which are earning a good 20+ Steem/SP per week (which I have now decided to use to buy up 1.0 EOS per weekly payout to then trade for PGL to fund my "Prospectors" game effort, and ( 4 ) because I am a member of one of the gangs, and that COMMUNITY is valuable. I am willing to give Drug Wars a little more time to get it together, but if they keep treading water, AND if "Prospectors" shows to be more enjoyable and profitable, I WILL consider swapping "Prospectors" in for "Drug Wars" in my weekly series - especially since SteemMonsters has announced that they are integrating with WAX (which the new version of "Prospectors" is running on. From a marketing perspective, a ""Splinterlands" + "Prospectors" Power Strategy Tip" weekly series will have more SEO power, and reach than the current "SteemMonsters + Drug Wars" Power Strategy Tips" weekly series. This is the major tweak I am in the process of considering and preparing for right now...
