Well, I won't go away, will I? I saw some #DCity hate last week on Hive, but I'm still HOLDING strong. I understand the lack of love...just looking at this chart is scary in and of itself.

I know it sounds like fantasy, but there was a point when taxes in the game were literally almost zero. I know, fantasy, right? You can see the impact taxation has on my income charts below:

Rough! Yeah, that's right...I used to make almost $4 USD/game with the simulation. I still hope those days return at some point.

Some of the benefits from last week's game included the following :

  • Trained +4 Workers
  • Trained +1 Scientist
  • Snagged a Night background
  • Picked up +3 Gamers for holding a Splinterlands fest.

I think I also picked up a Technology card, but I failed to record that in my notes. I'm guessing that was the night I was watching the Bucks lose yet again while sucking down a few High Lifes. Rough one, on so many different levels!

My hope is that I'll be back to break even on my Litecoin investment in this game. I mean, let's get back to break-even already.

Next week's goals for the game include the following :

  • Hold all cards
  • Maintain a SIM power of at least 10,000
  • Invest in high ROI cards next week when possible

I use a simple card SIM Cost over SIM generated daily to calculate ROIs. I could go discounted cash flows, but I'll save that type of analysis for something else.

That's it for this week's update. Question for anyone who actually reads this...are you still playing the game? If not, is there interest in the game at this point? I still have high hopes that this game will turn around, so I continue to maintain my simulation daily.

Thanks again for stopping and taking a read. Until next weekend...this Demiurge continues to HODL.

Sort:  

I focus on keeping as much SIM power as possible and wait through hard times. Few weeks ago I reorganized my city to get more HIVE rewards, just few days before it was cut down.

I think you have a solid strategy. I used to buy daily, but the tax situation threw me off. I know I try to keep my Hive Power over 8k just to get a bit more HIVE daily too. Once I am up to 10k in SIM over that value (or 10k SIM Power, maybe...hey, I'm always adjusting!), I think I'll gobble up as many cards as I can to increase my daily SIM rewards. Thanks for stopping by!

In fact, how to lower the tax? Seems myself is more than 90% tax, I am a newbie thx

Thanks for stopping by and checking this out! Yeah, taxes will be high (not sure how long). I saved up to buy a Law Firm a while ago; that card gives you a 10% reduction in your tax rate. It's not much, but every bit helps, especially as you accumulate day over day.

If you own many law firm , how will the tax be calculated ? Thx

Hey it should be a 10% reduction..so if the tax rate is 95%, your tax rate will be 85%.

Do you think it is worth to buy one in market for seems 9000 sim? Thx
