Snods had brief outage this weekend but otherwise is off to a awesome start! If you have not checked out Snods yet its a real time strategy game that is based around twitter.
Since I originally wrote about the new twitter game Snods last week I have seen a LOT of familiar faces playing. Also a lot have been asking for tips on how to play. One of the things I really like about Snods is that it takes like 10 minutes a day to play.
Here are my tips from what I have learned so far…. Feel free to contribute any tips in comments.
Turn off the chatter:
The cool thing about SNODS is that it gives you full control over the communication that goes on over twitter. Don’t piss off your followers… First thing go into the communication settings and turn off what you do not want.
Have the last laugh:
Since you get a 20% bonus for having your cells full wait until later in the day to fill them. What you dont want to do is shoot your wad on captives before noon then get nuked and have no recourse.
Just like affiliate marketing we want to make money while we sleep 
.
Steal from the poor:
Yup thats right… *TRUST ME* When you have your steal attempts goto the top 100 list then work your way from the BOTTOM up. The weaker on the top 100 will have less guards and probably have not played for like 12 hours meaning they have fat bank for you to nab.
Newbie Mistakes:
You get 1 free solitary confinement. Make sure you use it
Make sure you upgrade stuff evenly until you decide what you want to focus on. A good mix of guards/vault/captive quantity.
I am hoping some skilled players will get in the game cause I need some competition =P
Just joking =P

The only problem i have with Snods, is that even though you can turn off some of the messaging. It still sends out a tonne of DM’s everytime you rob someone. And you cant turn that off.
big deal though ?
Well i get enough automated DM’s as it is.
Interestingly enough, i thought i may aswell give it another try after reading your post. Managed to catch you
I had that problem too. I got 173 DMs sent to myself when I failed to recapture someone. All within the span of an hour. It sent out the “you can’t recapture for another 23.9 hrs” message every 20 seconds on the dot via a DM
I dont understand SNODS at all and morevoer I dont understand how it helps you make money.
would have never guessed from your name…
I guest you about to get a ton of snod cash from the affiliate link. – lol
You are so right about waiting to the end of the day.
One thing I would add is floating in the top 10- 15 rankings keeps the attacks on your cash and captives down.
Cause everybody guns for number one.
I just have to read the title and know I’m not reading this post…
Oh god, this is just perfect.
Where is the vault? I upgraded mine so I can store more of my money in it, but I can’t find a link to it? Or does it just automatically not allow people to steal x amount?
yea it just assures that no more then x will get stolen
Hey Jeremy……..You stole my money.
Just wait and watch.I will make you a captive………..Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.HaHaHa.
This is fun at the end of a tiring day.
Sounds pretty interesting, I’ll have to check it out!
I have to check it out too. Don’t understand how it work yet
Total geek Heaven!!!
Sounds interesting. I’m checking it out, thanks
Damn… as if Twitter doesn’t take up enough of my time as it is
Hey Jeremy,
I will spend more time for it to fight you!
Mafia and Special Agent games are money right now.
Thanks – looks like fun..
This idea is raking quite alot of name for the people who made this. Cool stuff.
Damnit Shoemoney stop setting yourself free whenever I capture you. Its annoying lol.
Shoe. Nice write up on the tips. I would agree on all of those tips. I think SNODS is super fun. I really enjoy the balance of offense and defense. Too much of either and you get burnt.

I checked out Snod, just haven’t really had the chance to play around with it fully.
Unfortunately, I still won’t provide you with any tips, because quite frankly this is the first time I have heard about this game. Sounds intriguing and I will give it a go. After trying it, I will come back and leave some tips (if I can). I am looking forward to dethrone you:)
I’m coming after you Shoe!
Another useful post from Jeremy.
But I think this one have already some kind of controversy and flaw as well.
Well this one have some loop holes … have to see check that one first. But however I am sure if Jeremy is recommending this one than we can count on this.
Thanks friends
Sounds like crazy fun.
Nice article !…but.. I’m a new blogger and I’m confused u_u , all webpages talk about making money for hosting videos, but not all of them are good and I have a lot of ideas. My brother recommended me to visit http://www.vismomedia.com, he said I’ts a good webpage for bloggers. What’s your opinion ¿?
You earlier post on this games was really cool and this one is more awesome shoe. I registered my self other day when you posted about snod for the bery first time and from there i am simply enjoying this game. Becoming addicted to it day by day …lol
My pay rate is $6k at this point of time ..hoping for it to rise to $13k and cross yours.
Looks like a fun game. I may have to sign up for twitter just to play Snods.
Got introduced to this last night, it looks really fun!
way to go jeremy…well done again.
really enjoy the balance of offense and defense.
It seems like an interesting and fun game. Gotta try Snods ASAP. Thanks for the tips and tricks.Really need them!
I’m enjoying playing it. I’m up to around 40th so far. Hoping they add a few bells and whistles as time goes on. It’s pretty shallow right now but has tons of potential.
Hey Shoe – you were playing and hanging in the top – until about a week (?) ago… thought maybe you dropped, but still couldn’t find you. Then I noticed you dropped all your captives and you were effectively out of the game… Any reason? Just curious.
Thanks for your tips (not just SNODS) and the info you share.
Jeremy – where did you go?
I guess you just helped with the launch of Snods but don’t really have time to enjoy it?? It can be a bit boring but I’m trying to keep a high ranking to see how it affects gaining Twitter followers. Hoping a top 5 might help me gain a few. When you’re not a blogging superstar you need to keep working on gaining an audience. (I imagine blogging stars need to keep working as well – but you get my point). By the way – NHL Draft is tonight!! I’ll be there in person – looking forward to it!
Love the game and the ideal of basing it on twitter accounts is brilliant.
