Who wants to be a whale for a day?

in #busy6 years ago (edited)

Hey guys, I'm embarking on a 36 hour flight with three layovers in exactly ten hours. I won't be able to curate so instead of just vote people I know that make great content, I have decided to try something a bit different.

I'm going to follow the vote of one minnow who will be a virtual whale for the next 36 hours starting in exactly ten hours.

So, do you think you are up to the task?

Tell me why in the comment section. What will you do with the votes you'll give and your curation criteria.

You will only be able to give fifteen 100% votes divided as you see fit: 15 votes at 100% / 30 votes at 50% / 60 votes at 25% and so on.

Some rules:

  • No more than one selfvote.
  • No vote collusion, if I find out about it I'll flag your posts to Oblivion.
  • Transparency.

After your whale period ends, you will be able to post your curation criteria and posts voted to give you some visibility and I'll vote your post as thank you note.

I'll will disable all of my automatic votes so you have full control of my votes via trailing you, so make sure you don't allow my VP to hit 100% and not below 90%.

Submissions end up 8 hours from now and I reserve the right to pick the person without explaining my reasons, just make sure to expose your case in the comment section.

Sort:  

Perfect timing :) Judging comedyopenmic this week (just started the new round) so there will be a few rewarded for their humor. Curating for c-squared too and I'm planning on engaging a lot this weekend because I have to keep myself to a budget.. therefor no fun outside activities :(
Your votes will be used wisely by me, promise!

<3

Congrats, you are a whale now :"

Normally I would take that word as an insult, but coming out of your mouth in this post, it sounds amazing!!!! <3 This is for 24hours? I will load my power a bit until I am.at home in an hour and then think about what I will do with this great power to reward as many good authors as possible.. have a safe trip!! <3 and: thank you thank you thank you!!

Congrats @anouk.nox and thanks for the support!

You're very welcome.. that post was so freaking good!

nevermind my question read again, and saw it will last for 36 hours :) hope your trip goes well!

Hi @anomadsoul,
I made you a hand drawn portrait. I'm organizing art giveaways and some support from you will be helpful.

Cheers!!

big heart, so much dedicated time to Steeming and she does a tremendous job support minnows as well as communities, @anouk.nox is a great choice to bless the blockchain with her love for a day

highly recommend her @anomadsoul

Thank you so much @dj123

Anouk has been curating for a long time of her own accord and I know her to be an unbiased judge who won't collude with me because I asked her and she blocked me :P Seriously though, she's awesome and
a hard working curator

Lol :-) thank you @diebitch !! I do my best and I love curating ;)

I vote @anouk.nox. She's an amazing curator who only fears mosquitoes so I'm sure she'll make you proud.

I see I am late to the party to upvote you girly girl. Sorry I wasn't there for you. I took a day off but as always you got it handled. Congrats. Use your power wisely.

No pasa nada <3 you are always here to support me .. and you got to have your time off too! As you can see I got that great responsibility now hehe.. Need to get the little girl back to bed before I can continue :-)

Congratulations @anouk.nox!!!

Yes! give Anouk the power!!

She's already pretty powerful in that she's pretty cool, but otherwise who couldn't use a bit more SP help.

Thank you @idikuci :) My 100% vote is only 0.03 atm so not really powerful lol..
I am dividing my votes a lot at the moment, but if I get to be a whale for a day, I will be even more wise with the power :) lol

upvote =/= power.

You're plugged in to comedyopenmic, SMAcommunity, whaleshares, C2, Curie and I dunno what else. To me that's power.

Lol, true maybe.. I do my best and like I said the weekend is going to be steemit focussed anyway instead of being outside.. so to me that's perfect timing :)

I say anouk would be an excellent choice, hard working. Knowing she's going to be a judge for @comedyopenmic means that she's going to go through many posts and she has a great taste so she's going to reward those with great posts. Same thing with her on C-squared. She's already engaging (so she's gonna have a fiance I guess... My English is weak) and planning to be more engaging (Which I guess means she will have two fiances?..... again, weak English)

Thanks @amirtheawesome1 all these fiances get me confused.. lol :)

She's Mrs. Curator right here.

+1!

Well, thank you @sharanaithal !

¡Sería genial ver a @anouk.nox con el poder de una ballena! Alguien tan involucrada en tantos proyectos seguro le daría un excelente uso.

Muchas gracias ! <3

your 15 votes will be in good hands with @anouk.nox

Since Asher is too famous for his own good, I would like to say that anouk is an amazing curator. I have had the chance to work with her at c-squared and she has a great eye and passion for the platform as well. Plus the guys at COM are amazing ...

Lol yeah Asher is too famous for this one hehe.. So big thank you to you @llfarms much appreciated! <3

What is Asher not too famous for? 🤔
I should look at peoples wallets apparently... I didn’t know 🤷‍♀️

You’re welcome, Much deserved!

Wow congrats anouk.nox and this is so awesome for COM and C²! Thanks @anomadsoul I think you have chosen wisely!

Thanks @carlgnash ! I have just completed the first 100% vote (divided in more votes from 10 - 25 % ) So 14 more to go lol.. C-squared is a great server where the good stuff is gathered thanks to all these wonderful curators !

Felicidades, ahora te deseo que realices un buen trabajo @anouk.nox

Muchas gracias @kantos !

Oh my!!! This sounds so fun and exciting!!

I have never been one (of course, not LOL) and I sure would love to experience that for 36hours!

Reasons :

  • It sure would be soooo fun and exciting!
  • Would be fun to give BIG smiles on other people face. (I will make sure to do with ones with quality posts)
  • I will definitely follow the rules mentioned, promise! :)
  • I would also love to be noticed by you so this would help at least, a little.
  • Oh! Would also help with my visibility to others as well so that's GREAT!

It's all gonna be a win-win event with lots of smiles :) :) :) and I can't wait.. You always have these initiatives and I love joining in!

  • I'm a STEEM FREAK and here's the prove.. Fight for steem dream! :D LOL

Oh, I will also for sure join the contest that Blocktrades and Openmic are holding :D

WOULD LOVE to experience this new task so fingers crossed :)

Thanks for the opportunity ! Let's make it steemy as I always love to!! :) ❤

You have a safe travel!!!!!

Hey @anomadsoul :)
thats kind a big deal for a minnow in my opinion. So i will call @Misomaniac as one of a Minnow in the Germa Community. He curate's well written Post, engaged in so many projects. Finally he make great Steemit-Shirts by himself.

So if you read it up, take you time to check him ou if he is your right choice.

all the best and a great Trip/ Flight!

Ohh wow, I wasn't expecting that, thank you! :D That would be of course really cool and a big opportunity to have a lot of power and impact in the following 36 hours. I think I could make a lot of users happy with it, and therefore also me :) Thank you so much for the mention @rivalzzz! And also thank you @uwelang!

Ich drück Dir die Daumen!

Excellent suggestion - backing this up too.

Hi think this is a great nomination. I personally delegate to @misomaniac's @prp-lgbt account, doing a great job curating the #lgbt tags on Steem blockchain. Much love - Carl

Ohhh I love this... I would like to second @llfarms on this one... I say Asher is the man for this.... @abh12345 show up here.. write up all the reasons why ninja.

Putting me on the spot here man!

I could list a bunch of minnows who would treat this virtual whale vote with care, but think @llfarms would do a grand job.

As an over-worked @curie curator (partly due to my slacking in this regard), she'll no doubt find some excellent content deserved of more support.

I'm also aware that she's well on the way to Steemfest 3 - There you go Eric, someone who is keen to meet Steemians, has an interest in learning more from the speakers and attendees, and can thank you in person for the opportunity in November :D

Edit.

Apparently I've got your message all wrong and am supposed to be boosting my ineligible self!?

Yeah man... he wasn’t trying to force you to sell me 😂

Thanks for the thought though haha! Decent sell (I guess) for someone who thought they didn’t have much of a choice 😉

😂

I'm just gonna say you guys need to read the post properly, then you wouldn't have confused me!

You have a point there...

You know me though, wallet.. rep... not important, I just focus on what they add and contribute to the platform.

I will be sure to only focus on your wallet from here on out though... promise. 😜

Yes I know, that's why I nominated, you with my hands behind my back 😜

Focusing on my wallet, you must be a fan of Moths!

Well, I had this post in my inbox 3 times before it was 30 minutes old... I think you got people excited! While I am honored they thought it was something that I should ask for myself... I had a better idea;

I would like to nominate @abh12345 for this whale for a day opportunity. He is one of the most engaged members on this platform that I know. He even made a league for it 😊, which has started a revolution of sorts among members of this community that are passionate about this platform. Plus, he busts his ass everyday to not only find exceptional content creators, but make connections with them... improving overall user retention.

He would do great things with this opportunity.

Awesome idea, thanks for all you do. ❤️

This is very true, Ash works hard to try and build steem into something better.

Asher is certainly a good Steemian :D.
Good reccs, lele!

Hey remember it's an opportunity for minnows!

Damn, I broke the rules first thing! Apologies ❤️

hahaha ❤️

If I delegate 10k to someone, i'm a minnow? :D

ass
cough, cough

Wait, is the calendar out already? :D

The fiesty side of me really wants to make you boys regret bringing that dang thing up all the time 😄 ... your ass could probably sponsor quite a few people to get to SF.

... starts writing post...

Bring the feisty, farmer!

Is there a ladies calendar sponsoring my ticket?

(I've got Carl's yellow pants etched on my eyelids 🙈)

Don’t you have a fan club that handles that sort of thing? I’m sure you have plenty of contacts to make that happen.

Anomadsoul is gonna flag us for spamming his post 😆.. actually you should probably flag yourself...

And yeah... yellow ingrained in my brain 😩

Thanking for accepting the role 😁

Dark Horse Entry:
I'm a red fish - almost minnow. I'm not in any curation trails or Discord groups or other banded together groups of Steemians. I am one lone weirdo. I like to upvote people's #upfundme's, random acts of kindness, ulogs, gardening posts, friends' walks and life blogs, and whatever else tickles my fancy. I upvote most of my commenters. I have only self voted once that I recall. I'm trying to reach minnowhood by my Steemiversary next month.
I usually run my VP down to 70-80% because there is generally more to UV than I have power for. ;)
I am probably the most unknown, random person to enter, but worth a shot! :)

i think i'm late, just noticed from @anouk.nox :)
would love to be one of them , anyway you are awesome annomadsoul , one of the best whales of steemit , you have so much positive vibes <3
have a safe trip

A fiction writer myself, I would be curating amazing works of fiction/poetry.

We need stories. In a time like this, stories are all we have. A great work of fiction to get lost in. Even if it is for few minutes of few hours. We all need that.

That makes it sensible to support the writers who throw out these amazing dream worlds by tapping furiously down at the keyboard. These guys don't often get recognized just as much as they should be, I'll take care of it for a day :)

I decided to give a chance to other people. When would you be able to curate wisely during this week? Consider a span of 12 hours and five 100% votes.

Oh Gee thats's awesome! If it's going to be the weekday, friday might be the best choice, if not I can work the best on the weekend:P (Yeah, I can be quite boring on a weekend.)

Wow, this is a big responsibility​. I do not know if I would dare to do it. Anyway, right now I can not. I'm going on a trip for several days.

I hope you get someone to do a good job, because there is a lot of work to do yet.
