MOON: The Free-to-Play Browser Game - Additional On-Chain Rewardification for All Players

Dox your colony!

After the stellar success of our first mission, Mission: Attack!, we are cooling down a bit with a natural expansion: making a colony and expanding your empire!

We are quite excited about these missions, unfortunately it actually takes some amount of work to do, which we don't have unlimited time for but we think it makes our game quite unique; as we've claimed:

With this gameplay feature, we leverage the power of the HIVE blockchain to deliver rewards to players of all levels and rankings, regardless of investment, cementing MOON's position as a pioneer in the play-and-earn gaming ecosystem.

Starting today and running for the next week (post payout), all MOON players are invited to participate in the Show the Colony! Mission – This is the next logical step in gameplay for an expanding space empire game, and to get a colony you will need:

• Impulse Engine 3 Research
• Expedition 1
• Colony Ship

Additionally, you must pick your planet's position - here is a great guide that player @enjar wrote about!

With Expedition 1 technology, you can colonize planet slots 4-10, while with higher technology, the outer reaches of the solar system open up to you:

• Expedition Tech level 4: Planet Slots 3-11
• Expedition Tech level 6: Planet Slots 2-12
• Expedition Tech level 8: Planet Slots 1-13

On-Chain Rewardification: You know you want some!

We believe that gaming should be accessible to everyone, and we also want to offer real earning potential; this is the first step into blockchain-verified gameplay rewards, where certain players' actions are permanently recorded on the HIVE blockchain, creating transparent proof of achievement that can translate to real value. This is on top of our sustainable tokenomic model, more of which will be revealed as the weeks go on.

How Show the Colony! Mission Works

1. Get a Colony (or more!) - Planets vary by size, and colonies can be blown up if you don't like what you find - Every odd numbered Expedition Tech you can add an additional colony to your empire!
2. Post proof of Colony as a comment reply to this official mission announcement on the HIVE blockchain - Show us a screen shot of the overview screen on that planet! We will verify with your coordinates on the galaxy page.
3. Receive rewards = get an upvote on your comment!

** Note: Due to how VP works, speed will be a factor.

Each player is eligible to submit on the blockchain one colony for upvote, with additional bounties available for strategic gameplay:

• Base Reward: Every verified colony linked to a HIVE account (limit one per player) earns an upvote!
• DOX a Colony: An additional 1,500 Pizzabit bounty for doxxing a top 20 player's colony - that isn't in the same solar system as their main!
• Elite Target Bonus: This may carry some social risk, but helping everyone know where the top players are hiding is a valuable service - remember that each page of the galaxy that you search costs 10 uranium.
• Maximum Potential: Players can reveal their own colony, and dox up to one top 20 player colony, per account.

Strategic Teamwork: Sharing info

Maybe you are spending a lot of uranium anyway, searching around for targets to raid, and know where some of these colonies are hiding. Since you can only get rewarded for one per account, consider sharing this information with an alliance member to maximize rewards!

Additionally, sharing this information publically will make it a quite interesting game as we move forward.

A Season of Innovation

Show the Colony! Mission arrives as MOON continues to evolve its seasonal structure, which keeps gameplay fresh by introducing new challenges and opportunities. As players and the universe progress toward the end-game win condition of Graviton Research Level 1, all players are contributing to the evolution of the game's universe, ensuring that MOON remains dynamic and engaging for all participants.
