Late October Brawl

rqr4 — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 15:48:27 GMT

Greetings, Splinterlands warriors!

What do you think of the new Collector Achievements feature? Are you among the players getting excited about hunting down cards to complete your collections, or are you still busy figuring out which cards to level up first? I'm still trying to adjust to this collecting craze myself. After all, the desire to collect cards sometimes grows faster than my ability to gather resources.

While keeping up with these developments, I continue my usual Brawl routine with the ClaNFT guild. It's hard to believe we're already approaching the end of October. It feels like only yesterday we were talking about Merits targets, and now the total is almost reaching 10,000.

![](https://i.ecency.com/DQmWDfX4SyA8AhVBYXvzR3KUUuhi29nojjXGhymfRAVfsfF/my_battles.png)

In this Brawl, I managed to contribute 18 points, with six wins and two losses. Of those six wins, three were automatic victories because our opponents didn't submit teams to the arena. So, half of my wins this time came without having to go through an actual battle. Sometimes, an opponent who doesn't show up turns out to be our best card.

Still, three automatic victories didn't mean everything was easy. I had to fight the battles that did take place, and those two losses reminded me that my strategies aren't always on point. In Splinterlands, we might think we've assembled a great team, but the final outcome still depends on many factors, from the ruleset to the opponent's card combinations.

Overall, ClaNFT had to settle for third place, after previously managing to secure second place. Naturally, there's a little disappointment. But that's how Brawl goes: today we climb, tomorrow we might fall. The important thing is not to let our spirits drop along with our ranking.

For this round, each member who participated fully received 2,250 Merits, while players who own a Spellbook received 24,417 staked SPS.

Now, here's the part that really puts a smile on my face: my Merits balance has reached 9,785. I'm just a little short of 10,000. I could even convert Glint into Merits to reach that milestone faster if I wanted to. But I've decided to hold back.

My goal isn't to stop at 10,000. Instead, I want to accumulate 20,000 Merits before opening my Gladius Cases. When you have a clear target, gathering resources according to a plan feels much more satisfying than spending them every time you see the numbers go up.

See you in the next Brawl. May our Merits keep growing, our cards get stronger, and our crypto wallets stay in good shape! 😄

VONAK! 🔥

Spending My Merits: Time to Open a Gladius Case

vinzie1 — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 23:50:42 GMT

I was browsing and searching through the game of Splinterlands and as I was browsing into the game because I was curious to know all of the features, I saw one item that was on the Guild Shop.

Well, It was the Gladius Case where the description tells me that it's a pack that holds a gladiator pack. Well, the price is high enough because it needs 2,000 Merit points to get this one pack of Gladius case.

I have a couple of Merit points that I gather through the chests that I opened in the past games that I open and I also bought some Merit points in the Glint shop since there were merit points that I can buy in the Glint shop using Glint.

I have a couple of glints already and buy one set of Merit is very cheap since the starting price for the Merit is 100 Glint per 200 Merit, well, there's something like a tier for buying the Merit.

It was like the maximum limit to buy merit is 10pcs of 200 merit. After all of them were being sold, the price for the Merit will also increase and depending on how you needed merits, the price will almost double.

Like for example, at the first level price is 100 Glint per 200 Merits, and if you bought all of them (which is at maximum 2,000 Merits) it will then trigger and have another set of Merit but at the price of 200 Glint per 200 merits and so on and so forth.

Anyway, let's proceed in buying the Gladius case in the Guild shop since the only way that you can buy gladius case that I knew is from the Guild shop.

So, the gladius case price is 2,000 merit per case or pack and each pack contains 5 random cards and depending on how lucky you are, you can get rare card, epic, or even legendary card.

I only bought one gladius case for a price of 2000 Merit points and I want to open this Gladius case because I want to know on what kind of cards will be in this Gladius case.

Let's not wait for longer and let's open it now.... well, not bad enough because this pack has one rare card but the other four were 4 common cards. Well, you can see the blockchain transaction here.

I was surprise to see that all of the cards that I pulled in this gladius case has bloodlust traits where it will get +1 stat if they get a killing blow. Well, this is good since I am going to use this in survival or even in wild.

So, what's your experience in gladius case pack? Is it worth it? For me, it's worth it because it's still a card and a card can be as useful as you might think it is.

PS: You can visit and play the game in this website

Big Fat Phonies/¡FARSANTES DE MIERDA!—ENG/ESP

abeegail — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 20:23:03 GMT

See, there are pretenders who say they love to chew paracetamol or other forms of tablets and there's their chief-in-staff, which are people who promise to "be there for you". Hi everyone, it's none other than Abeegail and welcome to my blog. Today I'm talking about a topic that gets me enraged, so I might shout here and there but I promise you, no hard feelings. So let's proceed to rage.

Hay dos tipos de farsantes: los que dicen que les encanta masticar paracetamol u otros tipos de pastillas, y luego está su jefe de personal, que son esas personas que prometen «estar ahí para ti». ¡Hola a todos! Soy nada más y nada menos que Abeegail, y bienvenidos a mi blog. Hoy voy a hablar de un tema que me saca de mis casillas, así que puede que levante la voz de vez en cuando, pero les prometo que no hay rencores. Así que, ¡vamos a desahogarnos!

This post comes in English and Spanish. Enjoy.
Esta publicación está escrita tanto en inglés como en español.

Mental health is now getting the attention it deserves but at what cost. Everyone is walking around eggshells and wearing their prettiest smile when mental health is brought up but most of you are big fat liars and you don't even know it. You are always quick to beat your chest and say "I'm such a good person", "I'm such a good person" but you are lairs and you don't know it. You want to soothe your ego so bad that you are not willing to acknowledge it even if it's staring right at you.

La salud mental por fin está recibiendo la atención que merece, pero ¿a qué precio? Ahora todo el mundo anda con pies de plomo y luce su mejor sonrisa cuando sale el tema de la salud mental, pero muchos de ustedes son unos mentirosos de primera y ni siquiera lo saben. Siempre están dispuestos a darse golpes en el pecho y decir: «Soy una buena persona», «Soy una buena persona», pero son unos mentirosos y ni siquiera se dan cuenta. Quieren proteger tanto su ego que no están dispuestos a reconocer la verdad, ni siquiera cuando la tienen delante de sus narices.

This post is specifically for those people who say that they "would be there" and when the person struggling reaches out it's a problem. I saw one post where a woman said that people should stay away and do away with friends who are always complaining, always sad, always down, always have something going on, that those friends are toxic and would bring negative energy into your life. She's not entirely wrong, could she have worded it better, yes or maybe not, it's a sweet thing to say, not really because people who are struggling tend not reach out, they rather that problem eat them alive, than opening up and then feeling like a burden, so saying such will just stop them from reaching out, which might end up badly for them.

Esta publicación va específicamente dirigida a esas personas que dicen que «estarán ahí para ti», pero cuando alguien que está pasando por un mal momento busca su apoyo, de repente se convierte en un problema. Vi una publicación en la que una mujer decía que la gente debería alejarse y dejar de lado a los amigos que siempre se están quejando, que siempre están tristes, que siempre están deprimidos, que siempre tienen algún problema, porque esos amigos son tóxicos y solo traen energía negativa a tu vida. No está del todo equivocada. ¿Podría haberlo expresado mejor? Sí, o quizá no. Es bonito decir algo así... bueno, no tanto. Porque las personas que están pasando por dificultades suelen evitar pedir ayuda. Prefieren dejar que sus problemas las devoren vivas antes que abrirse y terminar sintiéndose una carga. Así que decir algo así solo hará que dejen de buscar apoyo, y eso podría acabar muy mal para ellas.

It's okay to know that you can't handle that, it's okay if you know you don't have the power or ability to handle just a friend just pass it unto professional help or people who are willing, instead of saying you'll be there then develop a problem along the way. Don't say it because you want to perceived as a good person, because you like the Idea of being the friend who people count on, because you want it to look like you want to help. It's a problem because it's okay until it's no longer convenient for you, until talking about the same thing the fourth time bores you, until it's tiring to listen, until it no longer fits in you schedule. Maybe the person gets to reach out like one or twice now it's an issue, it's "why is this one always sad", "this same thing again", "isn't it enough". NO!!!, It's not enough, I'm going to talk about it for the hundredth time, you bloody pretender, because you said you'll be there.

A Bimonthly Post for Our Mental Health Ambassadors to Post Links to Distressed Users - 10-27-2024

freecompliments — Sun, 27 Oct 2024 20:43:30 GMT

https://images.ecency.com/DQmT4JJYiR6DuB3xpnn8RuHsHEAFJbRFXjKpbseXcreEGRb/image.png

This is a bimonthly post space for our mental health ambassador and volunteer team to post links to distressed users. Specifically, if anyone finds a user who is stressed, distressed, sad, or otherwise in an unhealthy mental state, they can post the link here and tag the other mental health ambassadors and volunteers. Alternatively, or additionally, you can use our daily threadcast on Threads.

This will serve as a place where links can be posted outside of the usual threadcast in case of user preference or in case Threads is not functioning properly. It will be pinned to the top of the community page for easy, quick access.

I will also post links to the daily threadcasts in a neutral manner (no domain) so that they can be accessed immediately from whichever frontend you're currently using. Using threadcasts and this space will allow organization of all links so that they can easily be accessed for review by our mental health ambassador team, and subsequently be posted as a compilation via @fc-mentalhealth.

Tagging our current team of people responding to the threadcasts so that you're aware of this post - thank you all for your dedication and hard work: @bitcoinman @calebmarvel01 @ckole @crazyphantombr @fashtioluwa @FoneStreet @forkyishere @ganjafarmer @ibbtammy @ijelady @lightofhope @luchyl @pepetoken @thebighigg

General Complimenting Guidelines

freecompliments — Sat, 14 Jan 2023 00:15:00 GMT

In order to improve the experience of our members, here are a list of guidelines to help you make better compliments.

Empathy - remember that you're mainly here to provide understanding and support.
If applicable, acknowledge that the person is going through a difficult time. If they've been through a similar experience before, it's excellent to acknowledge that they've already had the strength to get through their ordeal before. If they haven't, acknowledge that prior life experiences can help, that they're not alone, that have a support network, etc.
Additionally, if applicable, acknowledge that your experiences are not identical to theirs. No two people have identical experiences, but they can still provide some sort of emotional support.
It is useful to look into a commentor's prior post/comment history to get a better idea of where they're coming from. If you find a golden nugget (such as a comment indicating a moment of personal power), this can definitely help boost someone.
Don't necessarily give advice. You must know your own limits. If someone's asking for professional advice, and you're not licensed, don't give it out. If you can't give advice, that's completely ok. Remember that people will primarily come here for emotional support.
People may come here with insecurities about their physical appearance. Make sure to check out their post history - if it's full of similar requests, be wary of continuing a stream of superficial comments. It may not be healthy to propagate their insecurities in this manner.
If you encounter someone expressing extreme depression and/or suicidal ideation, please refer to these guidelines (they're similar to these guidelines, but should be followed more strictly).

Coming next, a list of words to make your complimenting vocabulary more colorful!

Thank you all for reading this and for your participation in this community, whether you're giving or asking for compliments. Without you, this community would be an empty space. You're all bringing life to something wonderful.

Some Guidelines for Approaching Posters who are Severely Depressed / Express Suicidal Ideation

freecompliments — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 00:00:54 GMT

As the community grows, it's possible that we'll encounter some anonymous users who are depressed and possibly suicidal. It is our belief that we should not exclude such posters from contributing here, as this may be their most comfortable outlet. As such, we're developing ways for us, as a community, to be of the most help to such individuals, while minimizing any damaging repercussions.

It happened quite a few times in the original iteration of the community, and it's important to be equipped to handle such a situation in case it arises. As such, I'm adapting the guidelines I wrote several years to Hive's community (you'll find nearly identical phrasing in an old post on a different platform).

Here are some guidelines to consider when you come across someone suicidal online:

The key is to read what's being said as if a close friend or family member was telling you what's being said. Remember that you're mainly there for understanding and support. It is good to acknowledge this fact in whatever you say.
Acknowledge that the person is going through a difficult time. If they've been through a similar experience before, it's excellent to acknowledge that they've already had the strength to get through their ordeal before. If they haven't, acknowledge that prior life experiences can help, that they're not alone, that have a support network, etc.
Also acknowledge that your experiences are not identical to theirs. No two people have identical experiences, but they can still provide some sort of emotional support.
It also helps to look into a user's prior post/comment history to get a better idea of where they're coming from. If you find a golden nugget (such as a comment indicating a moment of personal power), this can definitely help boost someone.
Don't necessarily give advice. You must know your own limits. If someone's asking for professional advice, and you're not licensed, don't give it out. If you can't give advice, that's completely ok. Remember that people may come here primarily for emotional support.
Although these posts may occur under the guise of selfie/photographs, please do not make the photograph the center of your comment. Although it is a diversion, commenting purely on superficial features to a person who is considering suicide is simply bad timing. It is better to not say anything.
If you promise to talk to someone, commit to it. If you're unable to continue at the time, be honest and say that you'll continue later - and stick to the promise. It is essential to establish and maintain trust. Do not make promises that you can't keep.

There are some other excellent suggestions given on this page. Remember that we are not a primary resource to assist those folks with suicidal ideations - rather, we are a channel for communication and giving better resources to help them out.

Here are some handy resources to suggest:

http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/ - this website offers a very poignant perspective for those who are absolutely on the verge of suicide. It is an excellent first resource to suggest.
National Suicide Hotline - 988

Example:

Finally, I'll provide you a brief example of an effective comment that I used several years ago, which can be used as a template (resources may be adjusted to include the aforementioned hotline). Notice how it follows the general guidelines listed above and offers external resources which may be more helpful than we alone can be.

Here's a template you can use (please adjust to the individual's particular situation as much as feasible):

Hey listen, if you're seriously considering suicide, please either call or text 988 (the National Suicide Helpline), or reach out to an anonymous online therapist to whom you can talk right now. Those folks are more qualified to give you some good wholesome advice on how to cope with your situation. The best compliment you can give yourself is to help yourself, because you deserve to be happy.
If you can't use or are uncomfortable with using those services, I'll talk to you for a little while, but you have to promise me that first thing tomorrow morning, you'll reach out to a doctor or qualified therapist so that they can help you in the best way possible.
I really hope that things pick up for you. It's definitely not easy, but once you bring yourself out of this tough situation, you'll be able to speak to and help others from a very unique and experienced point of view. You will provide a priceless value to someone's world. Please keep holding on.
