Hello there! Welcome to our digital castle.

Hey peoples! Today I wanted to mention that @jan23com was the first person to successfully use the Hidden Ladder legendary artifact and he has solved the riddle and leveled up.
He also picked the Eye of Experience and Occult Book as his relic choice.

When I created this relic I intended for it to be a combo item. IE when you use it you get 2XP plus you get to enter a round twice with two different entries, for example if it was a round to enter a poem, you could enter two different poems. And there's 2 charges on it so you can use it twice to gain a total of 4 XP. Also, you don't get the XP until you use it. The items work in tandem and you're suppose to use them together at the same time when you use them.

By the way.. The Hidden Ladder artifact is given to people who leave the best comments on IFC related posts, so if you didn't know or forgot.. This is sort of notification or a reminder that we like to see good comments and try to reward them! :) If you leave a really good comment and then get the artifact and solve the riddle, you'll get a nice boost!

Moving on..
So.. This is kind of sudden but we're going to do two bonus rounds as well right now since the Magic Dancing Shoes and Sortiarius Chest are now back up for grabs.

The dancing shoes give you advance information on upcoming quests for 5 rounds so you have more time to prepare, but you must use the discord channel.

And the Sortiarius Chest gives my full powered upvote to your entries for 5 rounds.

The people who held them before are free to try to win them again, these rounds are open to anyone.
However no steem/sbd will be awarded for these rounds. Just 3XP for each round if you win and the artifact. Just to be clear, it would be 6XP if you somehow managed to win both rounds and both artifacts!

For the Magic Dancing Shoes challenge the subject will be.. Funniest Selfie! This doesn't have to be a selfie of you, you can find one on the internet somewhere or whatever.. Also I understand some people want to stay anonymous or don't want to share their picture for whatever reason. But I personally would like to see some funny selfies of you yourself for this if you're up for it!

And.. For the Sortiarius Chest challenge the subject will be.. Coolest IFC idea challenge. :)
Best idea for something about the IFC wins.

By the way.. You can enter these rounds by using two separate blog posts or if you want you can combine them both into a single blog post, however.. In the end they are two different challenges and we will judge them separately either way.

And now a moment for our sponsors!

First up is @ats-david who has helped greatly! If you appreciate this contest or just his efforts in general you may want to look into voting for him as a witness at @ats-witness, he does a lot of other cool things for the community as well!

Next is @timcliff who has similarly helped out the contest significantly and who is also a witness who does a lot for the community, so likewise if you appreciate the efforts you may want to vote for him as witness also!

I'd also like to thank @theguruasia who has pledged at least 20 steem to the second and third place prizes and he said he may even donate more.

And @nxtblg who has been regularly resteeming and upvoting our challenges which has been a big help!

Plus one other person who has been helping a lot who deserves some credit is @soundlegion who has also been upvoting the contests regularly.

And while not technically sponsors, we are working with @davemccoy and those at #newbiegames and #newbieresteemday and they do a great service to the community so definitely check them out if you appreciate that, or if you're new.

For the challenges.. If there's a tie.. We will do another round to see who wins.

The winners will be decided by whoever gets the most votes.
The only people who can vote in a qualifying sense are myself and the judges I've selected and we will vote by leaving a comment on the submission that we like the most and say something like.. "I vote for this one" and a reason why we voted would be good too, but is not mandatory.

You have until this challenges post payout ends to submit your post. Though we do accept late entries if you get it in before all the judges vote.

The challenges will finish after 7 days when the post ends and provides its payout cycle and unless there is a tie, the winner(s) will gain the XP and have a point(s) to go towards their long term win.
