Splinterlands Guilds are underappreciated ways to increase your SPS earnings while also having fun, and after changing Guilds, I have had a fantastic experience thus far.
I am a very skilled player, and I have used very good cards and assets to defeat some of the best players in the business during my Guild gaming experience. However, I believe I would have been a better player if I had better cards.
However, I have also made silly mistakes, such as losing to level one summoner owners who are extremely silky and cunning in their predictions, but I am guessing every splinterlands player has been in this situation at some point.
Splinterlands is a game that I enjoy playing, and it rewards your passion.
Although the rewards are currently minimal, you will understand how it rewards your passion when the price of the rewards (SPS) rises, particularly during a bull market.
I decided to leave my previous Guild because I believe I could receive better rewards for my skill set. I devote a significant amount of time to honing my skills, learning strategies, and understanding even the most recent Rulesets and card abilities, and I believe that time spent must be rewarded in some way.
Active participation was a problem in my previous Guild, and you are aware that when people do not show up for a Fray, the Guild's returns suffer.
In my new Guild, I have made an effort to attend games and take the time to strategically play my game. Why? Every win or loss affects the Guild's take home, either positively or negatively.
This was my second Guild outing; I had five battles to play and won all of them. I believe I mostly play the silver fray because it is where I am most comfortable. I have summoners to play higher, but I think this is the better fray, and I believe @burlarj agrees. He is doing an incredible job in managing the Guild and the work he puts in is unmatchable.
This time, it was a perfect performance. Last week I think I finished 10th and we were 20 competiting players. I know that luck plays role in how you win or lose, but I didn't have any opponent that didn't play their games in the first and second outing, so it meant I had to win all my competitive games.
I finished third this time, despite the fact that I had won all of my games. We had two other players before me who played more games and did not lose any of them either. That is excellent work from the members of my guild. I believe the first through fourth place teams did not lose any games, implying that you can still win and have more players ahead of you.
It is not a competition; it is simply working hard so that you and your team can collectively earn more rewards.
We performed better this time than the previous outing. This time, we each received 51 SPS and 5k Merit; I will share the stats from the previous outing and the one just completed.
I understand that we will not always perform well, but we can try and that is all we can do.
In Conclusion
My deck is not as strong as I would like; sometimes I just want to plan ahead and prioritize skill over depth. People with depth can categorically throw any lineup at you and win because they have the quality to blow you away.
They do not have to overthink their strategy. They simply show up and use the extra abilities on their cards to deal damage. I have played against guys like this before, and I often have to think outside the box to win.
Over the years, I have met some wonderful people who have delegated their cards to me, and it is been an incredible learning experience for me. I think deciding to look for a better way to reward my skill set is a good idea, and perhaps I will be looking forward to someone who is not an active player that I can assist in playing if they could share some rewards with me.
