Hey fellow Splinterlands warriors, it's been a while since I made a Splinterlands post and it wasn't even that I didn't had cool battles to share, it was just that I wasn't in the right vibe to write a post which happens sometimes and it is what it is I guess, no more of that now - it's a Wednesday and I already have weekend! 😍

After the Hive Keychain login issues which started yesterday evening after maintenance, I had to skip playing so when I got home from work today I started playing to drain my energy and everything was going fine, some wins and some losses which I don't mind at all, it's part of the game and then a certain player with 5 or 6 accounts, all with max level decks came online and I was matched up against THREE of his accounts in a row.

I'm playing with a Silver level deck, in Gold 2 or Gold 1 in the second week of the season, losing isn't a problem at all but starting a battle KNOWING you can't win against one account after the other is not cool, and ruins the game, especially when you know it's the same person behind all those accounts.

The strange thing is, it's against Terms of Service to play more than one account simultaneously in Champion League but it's fine in all other leagues... 🙃

I won't call this person out on a post that's saved on the blockchain forever, but I know I'm not the only one with problems with this person.

Good news, changes are coming - a DAO proposal about this topic is coming to an end in only 8 hours and so far it's looking good!

For readers not familiar with Splinterlands Governance voting system, here is a small explanation:

SPS (Splintershards) is the governance token of Splinterlands.
If you own SPS, you can help decide how the game evolves, the more SPS you have staked, the more voting power you get so Staked SPS = voting power.

SPS holders can vote on proposals like game updates or features, reward changes and use of the DAO treasury, these proposals are managed through the Splinterlands DAO.

With the latest DAO Proposal to bring brackets back to modern, which is pretty similar to how it was years ago but not completely the same but the cool thing is you have to choose the bracket you want to fight in for the coming season, when you have a Silver level deck like me and you choose the Bronze bracket for example, you can only use your cards at the maximum level for Bronze which is commons and rares level 3, epics level 2 and legendary's level 1.

When I choose the Silver bracket, I can use my cards at their full potential and from the Gold and higher brackets, there's a MINIMUM level of cards that are allowed as well.
In my opinion this is the most important proposal of the last months, and I really, really hope this is going to pass.

The interesting thing is, the large stakeholders haven't cast their votes yet and they have REALLY big vote power so it was unknown how this proposal would do but in the last hour I think, BraveTofu voted FOR this proposal. I don't know if the big shareholders communicate on important topics like this but I would guess they will, so hopefully more will follow or don't vote. 🙂

What is your take on this and what did you vote?

Ranged Only

So, I had this Ranged Only fight last week, I really like this ruleset and I usually go with combining the Life and Earth teams, spam Headwinds and use Gallicus and Caravan Guard in the back so hopefully the enemy team is doing very little to no damage, I had the luck to pull Gallicus in Gold Foil, so that's instant level 2 where it receives the Shield ability.

This time however, Life wasn't available but I found a new nice synergy!

In this battle every card had it's own purpose, our decks of cards are really a toolbox we can use to bring our plans to reality.

My Line-Up:

• Archon: Risqruel Drath - reason: Combine Earth and Fire, give Flying to the entire team (which reduces the chance to hit by 25%) AND it gives 1 extra ranged damage to my entire team!
• First position: Quilliun Legionary - reason: Close Range, good HP.
• Second position: Azhar Ibn Sulaim - reason: Taunt and he's really fast so perfect for dodging, I really hope to pull more copies so I can get this card to level 2 so it gets the Backfire ability, that would be really awesome.
• Third position: Sira - reason: Sira gives the Shield ability to Azhar, these two have a great synergy!
• Fourth position: Fenmoor Wood Troll - reason: Headwinds and Blind makes this a great support card for Ranged Only battles like this, reducing the chance to hit by another 15%.
• Fifth position: Husk of the Hunter - reason: More Headwinds!
• Sixth position: Swell Spore Beast - reason: Affliction to stop the tank from getting healed, the True Strike is also really nice for this slow card.

By the start of Round 3, the enemy team was only able to hit Azhar ONE TIME! All other attacks missed. 🤗

Although my opponent had a Gold deck, I owned this battle and got a nice victory reward.

This was a really cool battle to watch, you can watch the battle unfold for yourself here.
