Changes to Battle of The Bin!

Hi weevils, it’s me Ram! I’m the Bin’s tech whiz and video gaming expert! I’ve received several reports from weevils across the Binscape wanting to make Battle of The Bin more competitive, along with the competition offering new and improved rewards! Well, you asked and I heard! Read on to find out what’s changed!

Let me explain some of the changes in a bit more detail:
- Firstly, I’ve increased the amount of Mulch, XP and Dosh for weevils who finish in 1st and 2nd place at the end of the week! This should reflect the time and energy spent competing for the top spot, earning that prestigious Battle of The Bin trophy to display with pride! Additionally, I’m introducing a new currency & XP prize pack for weevils who finish in 3rd place – every great effort deserves recognition!
- Secondly, I’m adding a new prize into the mix for weevils who finish in 1st place – a gorgeous animated Battle of The Bin Backdrop! Ooh la la! You can never collect too many backdrops, weevils!
- Thirdly, weevils who finish in 1st and 2nd place will both enjoy the exclusive perk of being bigger and big respectively! During Halloween, 1st place will turn super small and 2nd place will turn tiny!
- Fourthly, at the end of the week, weevils who finish between 10th and 4th place will now earn some Dosh for participating. Each place increases by 5 Dosh coins, for example finishing in 10th place will give you 5 Dosh, finishing in 9th place will give you 10 Dosh and so on and so forth. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place are excluded.
- Fifthly, the Battle of The Bin Bin Badge has been revamped from 1 star to 5! Do you have what it takes to get as many wins as possible to maximise this badge? Slow and steady wins the race!
- Finally, I’ve been busy working on a Battle of The Bin Hall of Fame, that will only display the top 10 highest scores. This is to encourage weevils with a competitive side to try keep the no.1 spot! Do you have what it takes? Please note, previous high scores from when this competition was introduced will not be displayed. Only the top scores from when these changes take effect will be logged.
These changes will take effect on the 26th May 2025.
I’d love to hear your weevily thoughts on these improved changes for Battle of The Bin, weevils! I hope you love them as much as I do. Now, I’m off to go bust the top scores on some more video games. Cheerio!

All good updates, maybe see if other suggestions mentioned could be added down the line if things get stale. My only thing to suggest a change to is the xp, dosh and mulch rewards. If you finish 1st you get locked out for the month. If you finish 2nd twice in a month you get locked out, but gain just as much xp and dosh as 1st did and you get more mulch. Lastly, if you come 3rd every week of the month you get just as much dosh as 1st place. Just wondered if the numbers could do with tweaking more in 1st places favour?

Definteley a fan of the changes, increase in rewards sounds great and now everyone in the top ten has a chance to get a reward!
