Builders' Challenge 2: Weeks 5 and 6 Preliminary Rankings

We want to show the difference between real engagement and something clearly manipulated:

To achieve our current user engagement, we have accomplished the following milestones:

  1. Pre-season before BC1 with 60 player participation.

  2. Participation in BC1 with over 3,557 total plays, more than 1,069 hours played, and 500 NFTs distributed.

  3. For this BC2, we have partnered with the following brands:

  • Grain Glitchers
  • De Grano En Grano - The largest Web3 gaming YouTube channel in Latin America
  • Piggies
  • Chrysalis Guild - Our gaming community focused on MMO games
  • Soulbound - A mission platform where we’ve hosted a gaming night with players from Southeast Asia and published three special missions.
  1. We have developed a medal system, a season pass, a real-time leaderboard, a mission system, and just launched our daily mission system, where players can send resources from The Sandbox to our database to craft NFTs that serve as progression in our experiences.

Finally, neither we nor our players will accept the results for positions 2-4. It deeply saddens us to see the studio that made the most money from The Sandbox in BC1 delivering such poor experiences, which seem to have been adjusted in a week solely for the purpose of being played by bots. I can’t imagine what the studios truly dedicated to this would have done with such a budget. We hope The Sandbox officially recognizes @LUCIDITYUK in 2nd place and us in 3rd.

We congratulate our colleague @Gikis , first and foremost, for his great honesty in sharing his data, demonstrating how the Featured Experience of the Week is unbalancing the BC. We also congratulate @LUCIDITYUK for creating giant and innovative experiences, and we are pleased to see that since BC1, where we occupied positions 7 and 8, we are climbing through hard work.

Can you imagine another 40+k SAND going straight to GATs if all of those Botsmania games will stay on the final leaderboard? The same studio that stole over 400K SAND in BC1 which could have been distributed to more deserving creators. How about let’s just spam more XP with title ā€œBotsmaniaā€ and let’s start with ā€œBotsmania: Indexā€?

@Ebooks Ebooks if you need to attack users said it! :smiley: I’m part of a lot of guilds and community, who you are instead? a fake account used to attack ppl? there is a form where you can post your proof! I also invite you to play my experience, you lost at least this time and if you catch the easter egg maybe you got rewarded :smiley: Good luck!

plus I’m agree with an your old affirmation, the afk time should be removed from this stats.

Hi @Ebooks :slight_smile:

Thank you for taking the time to review and report experiences that you believe show signs of cheating or ā€œspam.ā€

To contribute to a pleasant atmosphere, please avoid calling out other creators. We have the reporting form for that, so this is unnecessary.

The volume of reports on one experience does not necessarily in itself make an impact on our decision to disqualify / not disqualify experiences from the Builders’ Challenge, so encouraging others to report could likely slow us down more than anything, unless other reports contain new / different evidence.

Quality over quantity :slight_smile:

We are happy to receive reports with valid documentation or evidence that helps us conduct a fair and thorough review.

Thanks for your understanding and engagement!

When the Final leaderboard for week 5+6?? , it’s almost a week. and when the rewards will be out ?? Could you please tell us , our community players are discouraged for late rewards.

Hello @Anandjoice,

I understand the need for swift action and apologise that things are moving slow at the moment. As mentioned in our updates, we have key staff on holidays. We should be able to move more swiftly next week and will update you as soon as possible on the process.

Banner are made by bing image creators, an usefull tool for people that don’t have graphics skills like me. Try it! About the wasting time it’s your point of view but you had to ask to your studio why people should play every day the same experience for a bounch of sand rewards at the end. FYI There is a lot (6 at least) of community gruops in discord made for this BC where players visit experience each other, this is a cheap (free) way to make visit and it isn’t againstthe rules untill people don’t stay afk inside the experience. As said there is a form where you can write and submit you reasonable point of view. I invite you again to push the play button on my experience and maybe play with another player the arena. Also jump on my post office experience, the giveaway ended but you chan spent 18-20 minutes for fun. Ps tell me more about your history because I don’t know you and I’m curios about what kind of game do you like.

But I wonder, now what ā€œevidenceā€ would one have in hand that one could use for the following weeks?
How truthful can a similar or identical report or reports regarding a ā€œnameā€ or ā€œexperienceā€ be?
Nowadays images can be faked like anything.
Furthermore, still speaking of reports, how many accounts that are years old make reports? do you give weight to those who can be truthful and those who registered just one day ago?
I ask because perhaps there is more attention on those who have been registered for 20 days instead of those who have been registered since the first beta.
Plus another thing, I understand that we are in a month in which it is hot and that above all it is seen as a month to take holidays and so on.
But why don’t you step into our shoes? Do we have to stay here and wait for the one from the sea to return to get a result of a ranking that ended almost 1 month ago? and then having to wait further for someone who points out the experiences at random, inserting whatever comes first into his head and waiting again for the ā€œcorrectā€ one
It’s not respectful to those behind all this.
The next event, before throwing it out, ask yourself some questions, publish them and listen to what you are told about it.
Maybe this way we can avoid many things and save time for you and those behind you.

I’m sorry if you feel frustrated, there is always time to improve.
However, I’m glad you’ve been following me since day 1 of BC.
But a little advice, don’t get upset, don’t put yourself in a position to feel bad, you can tell your frustrations to anyone who can help you, this is not the right area.
For the rest, thanks again, you made me laugh a little this morning. :joy: :leopard:

@TSBCreators @VeePyre Good morning!

Are there news about the leaderboard and my question?
Thanks :hugs:

If I am not wrong you asked about the participation of experiences in TSB events.
A poll was created and in another topic.

ā€œUpdate on Week 3&4 Rankingā€ post 14/21

(for some reason I can’t send any link not even from the forum :roll_eyes:)

There we were talking about TSB events in general. It is not that they are giving an answer to any of this, but they are inviting us to dialogue and know our opinions.

Yep I read it, but the community can’t create the rules and tsb don’t decide anything AFTER the release of official events like ā€œNapoliā€. I want an official answer from Tsb team.

It’s not acceptable that Tsb didn’t think about rules regarding official events like ā€œNapoliā€ and the builder’s challenge 2 together, so I assume that they did a rule and they already know what to do about this case.

And also, we are at the last week of BC2, I think it’s time to update creators about the leaderboards.

As far as I believe, there is nothing that can be done in this BC2 regarding events.

There was a specific rule concerning this in BC1, which I don’t know if it was respected at that time, but in the current BC2 it was removed.
Changing, removing, adding rules in the middle of an event is not a good idea in my opinion.
So I would think that talking about it before a BC3 starts, if there is one, would be a good idea, so TSB have a better idea before creating new rules, if that is the case.

It’s been a while, 13 Days to be exact since the Preliminary Rankings for W5-6 has been posted, yet we’re still waiting here Pressing F5 for at least 5x visit every single day in hope to see the final leaderboard or at least get a quick update on where we are now on the investigation whatever. We’re also waiting for the W7-8 Preliminary, is it possible to post it early so we can check the XP and report? And will it take another 2 weeks to investigate? Also we’re lossing players everyday because of the late rewards distribution. :smiling_face_with_tear:

My suggestion on rewards being distributed to you from sandbox and you to players. I made sure to note that on all my contests for BC2 that rewards would be distributed after BC2 was concluded and all funds were received from Sandbox. This was an issue in BC1 and is a way to avoid players getting upset about not getting rewards that were promised.

objective rules not subjective. same rules from the first to the last day. no rule changes in progress…sorry but TSB is not this.

it’s not their problem…
