Yesterday was the end of the week of spring. It was my first week and I joined a day or two into the game week. And I bought trees even later than that so my first week was decent but not great. I believe that after the week ended I finished in 34(?) position. And to get any rewards from leaderboard I would have to finish among top 20 at least. I was close but not close enough. I did many missions and I have five trees at the moment. But despite that I did not do well enough(partly because I was not very lucky getting free points in points giveaways). Not having a full grove was another reason why I could not climb higher in the leaderboard. And last reason for that was told to me by @curamax - I was not buying and sending enough gifts. I could not not do better in that area or buy all trees because normally I don't have any liquid Hive and keep it all powered up. But today summer week started. And it looks much more promising.
At the moment I am in 8 position in the leaderboard. So that start is already much better than my finish last week. Today I won 10 points from free giveaways. So perhaps this week luck is on my side as well. Also after few more days I should be able to buy some Hive. I hope that it will be enough to reach 50k HP, buy all remaining lands and trees and then have some liquid Hive for buying and sending gifts. So that should be a game changer for me. Sadly all this will happen in the middle of the week and not today. So I will likely fall in the leaderboard once again. But the third week of me playing the game I believe that I will finally be ready to really fight for the leaderboard. At that point I will have all trees and enough liquid Hive from the start of the week and not the middle. So with a bit of luck in points giveaways maybe I will be able to give @curamax and other leaderboard winners a more challenging fight.
