Most uninventive title of the day award goes tooooo.....
Probably not me actually but this one is a bit lame. This will be a brief ramble regarding a walk, some flags, and a bit of @steemmonsters.
When I took the above photo this afternoon, I didn't plan for a big red flag to take center stage, but that's how it's worked out. The lobster brigade are arriving en mass and need to be told that there are rocks without shipped-in sand covering them. I'm not really sure a flag is required for this, they could always walk to the water with and use their eyes?
Here are some more red flags, is this how discord might look in the future as varied parties team up to 'flag-a-whale', 'flag-a-dickhead', 'flag-everything'?
If cheaper flags are implemented, it will be interesting to see how the non-posting accounts are tackled as they continue auto-flagging users who have done them wrong. They will be able to flag harder, and there is no place to 'fight' back, unless known acquaintances are targeted. Great.
The lobster brigade also need to told what to wear when the sun is out. Today is a 'you might want sunglasses, a hat, and a drink', but no need for the t-shirt or the umbrella.
You will have seen this image on my actifit posting alt account......
No? fair enough :)
Anyway, I walked a good way today, up a hill, and down 'all' the way to sea. 10 km, pretty good - if only it wasn't a quarterly occurrence.
And this is the view from the top of the hill, taken with an iPhone 5s (and so you can just about make out land and sea).
I'm getting my ass kicked on @steemmonsters. It's not helping that I am facing opposition that have way better cards than me - I want some Dark Energy Crystals and the match-ups are not helping!
It's getting tougher out there
Has anyone else noticed that they are facing much tougher opposition more often since the DEC update?
I'm knackered today, and fell asleep earlier before even starting this post. Forgive me :)
Night night

I'm wondering if a $2.00 downvote would affect the author in the trending page? ie if there is a $200 payout mainly upvoted by bidbots will it hurt a little to them or just me? not really sure how much people make out of it. i also asume that the $2.00 is taken across the board both authors and curators? last question is a there a best time to downvote if after 15 minutes etc
If the curve is altered to the one Taraz mentioned yesterday, the bigger the potential payout, the more impact a flag will have, and so even a small account could have an impact on a large payout. I have no idea with regards to the math though.
There is discussion of cheaper flags, so maybe a couple of free ones each day that don't reduce VP - again, I've seen nothing concrete and just passing on rumors.
The flag would reduce the payout, and so author, curators, beneficiaries etc would all lose a %.
I think the best time to disagree would be when the post had topped out rewards-wise.
This is what I understand and it could all be a load of tosh :)
im talking about now not with the new curve idea, thinking of flagging some soon,
Oh right. Well at present your flag will reduce $2 from the total and use the same of VP as a vote of the same % would.
This is the frustration of a post blown up with all the bots - you'd need 10's of millions of SP to take the damn thing out of trending.
hmm might start doing it anyway, once my last post gets past 7 days lol
lol
And this is the other issue, retaliation. It's an important time for Steem, stuff needs to change for the better or else it could get very quiet here.....
Enjoyed reading your brief ramble Asher
Let's learn to ignore the red flags and empower/appreciate green flags in our life and as well as in our STEEM
Thanks Nathan :)
I was tired last night but always try to share something each day.
More green flags and go signals are welcome here. Cheers!
Share something everyday with your STEEM Family Asher
My, my. That is one ugly sign. The people that are so dumb as to need it probably wouldn't be able to work it out anyway. You're putting me right off a visit to Mallorca. ๐
I've seen a few people write about being flagged recently but I didn't realise it was on the rise again. ๐ข
I'm not sure what's going on with Steem Monsters anymore. Most of my games seem to be matched against higher summoners or bots so it's a pretty frustrating experience. DEC has just made it more so. With people showing off their cards.
It's going to take me a week with my level 2 account to get to 2500 DEC if I play everyday (as far as I can tell) so I can buy an orb. Some people I know already have maxed cards from them.
So, while it sounds like a good idea for the little guy, in that they can earn something other than reward cards, it seems to be that it just increases the gap between those at the top and those in the lower leagues.
Imagine starting out now with a just the initial pack. You'd never get out of bronze.
I was fortunate to have been in at the beginning of play when you could win stuff for free and, apart from the odd legendary, we were all playing with a similar set of cards.
Now I'm short the legendary summoners and all the new ones from the Orbs and then they'll be the ones from the Tron thing.
I'm still plodding on for now but not sure how long I will continue to play as the gap gets ever larger.
It's quite clever really because if you want to continue to improve you have no choice but to buy cards. Which I suppose makes sense. Maybe that's how the gaming world works and I've just been spoiled by the early days. ๐
P.S. I am enjoying seeing the DEC rise. It's less frustrating that trying to win a DQ.
Horrible isn't it! I think it serves other purposes, like a semi private place to get change, and a locker for 10 persons valuables - great!
Right! I've already played against people with maxed cards i've never seen before!
Yep, very smart business model. Let's hope people from Tron get the Beta's' bought, and then maybe they'll start going up in value :)
Looking forward to see if and how the flags work and if they will have an impact. The problem I have is the chops who don't post will flag. There are one or two that flag randomly and need a good slapping.
Looking forward through my fingers a little ๐
The tourists at your bit are drop dead stupid, :0D
Aye. Imagine walking up to that contraption and going right, i need this, this, and one of these today. DOH!
A contraption for fannies!!
The standalone reply when viewed on steemworld made me think you had presented a shlong in this comment above!
Hahaha!! Oh man, I had to go back and look and you're right it does look well dodgy!!!
Night night ๐๐โค
Sweet dreams Asher ๐ผ
Thank you Jill, and good morning!
Hahaha the lobster brigade is the people, it took me some minutes to realize that
LOL!
It would be nice if they do implement the downvote pool, that to use it you need to state in a comment why the down vote. That way people could see and agree or downvote back for abuse of the downvote pool.
At least it looks like a moderately nice day there, here it feels like it is going to rain again, the sun keeps hiding, and picture taking sucks with all the overcast weather conditions.
A comment would be nice, although I don't think it will be mandatory.
I almost didn't put the 'hill' photo up, not enough blue sky!
There are flags on Discord now? I mostly don't use it except for PMs. That's weird.
They are servers where folks discuss and share targets. I think these will grow and become more if 'cheap' flags are implemented.
Oh, so Steemians ganging up together, you mean. I see.
