Here we are at round 10!
I'd say the contest has been going along pretty amazingly so far, however.. There have been a few small issues here and there.. And.. The subject of this challenge will be dealing with one of those issues.

As some of you know, our last round was about finding a sponsor for our contest, and.. While the judges have not all officially voted on that and picked the winner yet.. We did already get at least one very gracious and significant donor that is going to help vote for some of the contest rounds in the future.

That person is @ats-david and if you appreciate this contest or just his efforts in general you may want to look into voting for him as a witness, he does a lot of other cool things for the community as well!

Before I get on to the quest, 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!

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

If there's anyone I missed who is regularly and often helping the contest and if you would like credit please let me know and I'll give you a mention as well! I think it's important to mention the sponsors and contributors and I even think we should have a round in the future that somehow is centered around the idea of celebrating the people who help donate to this IFC contest. And if you yourself would like to donate in some way, feel free to let me know!

Alrighty, so.. Since this competition is still very new and we're still growing a lot, I think the most important quest I can send you on is one to try to bring more players to compete in the IFC. Last time was finding a sponsor which helped IMMENSELY, now the players can be rewarded a LOT more.. But, I think the thing that would help the tournament the most at this point is to find more competitors who are willing to play in the actual championship itself.

Your mission this time is to create the best blog post to bring more players to play in the game! You can use whatever techniques you want, like.. You could write up an article, or make a YouTube video, or whatever you'd like.. Really the limit is your imagination and creativity and time you're willing to put into it.

Also, you may want to remind people in your post that we just started a "catch up" round yesterday which is open to anyone who hasn't leveled up or won a game yet, and that would be a good challenge to enter in for beginners I think as well. Link to that "catch up" round will be below.

The rules are..

You must create your own blog post on your page in regards to the challenge with a title mentioning the specific contest, IE something like.. "Information Finding Championship - Season 1 : Round 10 entry" and then link it here on this page in the comments below. And you also have to use the #informationfinding tag in your blog post as well.

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

The winner 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.

The challenge will finish after 7 days when the post ends and provides its payout cycle and unless there is a tie, the winner will gain the steem, level up and have a point to go towards their long term win. (minus the 25% or so for curation)

Also.. For anyone interested I want to remind you that we now have a discord channel set up which should make a lot of this easier and more organized! If you'd like to chat or get more diverse and efficient information on the IFC, you can join us at this link.

This sounds super interesting. I just heard about the IFC and have been looking for something of this nature. I recognized a few of the people's involved names so I was immediately drawn to this.

I want to look into it a little bit so I'm not sure if I'll be able to make a late entry into this round but maybe I'll sneak one in right before the clock! Great idea, I'm excited to be part of it!

Hey there. Thanks for showing interest and glad to hear you find the contest interesting. :)
Cool! We're glad to have you join and if you have any questions please let me know, I'll do my best to answer.
Additionally.. I'd like to let you know that there's actually still round 9 going as well, that one ends tomorrow morning, so you may want to go do that one first, and then try to get 10 in the next day if you think you have the time to do two in two days. Here's the link for round 9 and good luck to you in the contest! :)

Thanks! I'm not sure if I'll have time, I have a lot to do in normal life between now and tomorrow, but if I can find some time I most certainly will :)

How could I not resteem? :) Thanks for the mention.

You're welcome! Thanks to you as well for being such an awesome person in general. :)

I blush... :)

i sent you few steem for this..hope you got them :)

Thanks a lot! I'm sure people will appreciate your kindness. ;D I will make sure to mention you in a future post.

no sir..i didnt want you to do it..i just sent it to you as a token of appreciation for what you are doing for the welfare of this community :)

Oh.. Okay.. I won't mention you if you don't want me to! But.. Thank you for the generosity! That's very nice of you. :) <3

This is a great thing you are doing @apolymask! I know quite of few of our members are supporting what you are doing and love your concept. I have been swamped with getting our initiative up and running, but I hear stories that quite a few of our people are supporting you and what you're doing!

Keep it up, we all have the same goal and that is to improve the interaction and experience for all! I have not had a chance to play any of your games, but they are marketed in a way that is right up my alley! Good luck and I hope to work with you on things in the future and support more directly what you are doing for us all! :)

Thanks for appreciating the effort! :) It's cool to hear you and others are doing similar things to help give back to the community, that's more in the spirit of steemit in my opinion than these whales "taking advantage" of the reward system and not really caring about trying to help the lower people reach the kind of success they have.
Also.. Thanks for the well wishes and encouragement! I look forward to working with you in the future however it happens to work out!

I couldn't agree more... Some day they will figure out that its hard to be small... As the price of steem rises, it will get even harder... If they are smart, then they will learn to support the kinds of things "we" are doing because a tree can only grow so high if its base is not strong. I am far less connected than you, but I understand the concept.

I would love to work with you in any capacity you think I can help. Our main focus is on grabbing the newbies and helping them understand things, learn best practices, and feel some attention during those first 30 days. We also invite them all to pay it forward to the next class so that we can build a smoother road forward for all. I know that at least 3 of my members are also working with you, and since I know their character, then I know your mission is solid!

So if you have any ideas of how I can help, just let me know. Otherwise, I will come up with some on my own (I'm pretty creative) ;)

Once again, its great to know you exist and are doing some awesome community building and I'm glad I connected with you!!! :)

I'm trying to think of ways we could work together. I'd definitely like to help new people more in the competition.. We already had one contest called a "beginners helping quest" where people would go find a new person to help. And the catch up rounds are also designed to sort of help new people get involved in the IFC, though the entire competition itself I think lends itself to anyone who wants to make some extra steem and learn about steemit so I think that may be a major reason why there's so much crossover with me and the 3 people you mentioned that are your members.

It'd be great if we could think of more ways to work together.. Though right now I'm not exactly sure, BUT.. I will keep thinking about it. :) Thanks for offering! And I bet if we both think about it for a while, between the both of us we can figure something out!
Thanks for the nice words and.. Glad I connected with you as well you seem like a good person. Cheers!

I will speak to the ones that are already working with you and find out from them what their thoughts are. Then we will put our heads together and see what we can come up with! I agree with you, we can definitely find ways to support you and help the mission grow! I'll be in touch soon... Have a great week ahead :)

Sounds good! And thanks. :) Hope you have a great week ahead as well!

I love the idea of challenging contestants to find a sponsor for the championship and also to advertise it by having them make a blog post of their own. :) Really good ideas mate.

I hope things are going well for you. I'll keep the message pretty short since I'm sure you're really busy right now but glad you're having so much fun and success with it mate.

Take it easy buddy! :)

Word! Yeah.. I'm surprising myself even with these ideas! I'm finding creative ways to use the idea of the competition to help build itself, and so far.. It's blowing my mind how it's worked.. I think at this rate if we keep growing, and steemit keeps growing too.. This could be a pretty popular contest someday! :) Will be exciting to see.

And yeah I am super busy, though I wouldn't do it if I didn't want to. I'm trying my best to make things work.

Thanks for checking in and the nice words!
Hope things are going well with you!

This is not my entry yet, but before I even read what this round was about I had already shared it on Facebook... :)

Word! Nice to see you jprocks! I hope you participate in the contest. :) I've been told by a number of people that it's a lot of fun!

I have to finish my tie breaker then I will work on this! I will also talk to David. He is crazy busy with a big project but he will get time to upvote this post and also the catch up round!

Thanks man! Looking forward to seeing your entry as usual. :)

Good choice of challenge, the more the merrier, and this ties right into the catch up round.

Agreed! That's what I was thinking too.. It really ties in well with the catch up round!
I have a really good idea for the next challenge as well that I think will help!
I wanted to do yours from the round you won next, but.. Right now I have to do at least one more specific one after this one to help the tournament grow in the beginning here.. And then I think I'm going to do your contest next, but we'll see.. I'm really trying to play my cards right and try to make this grow as much as possible at the beginning here. ._.

you get a newbie nickel for helping to connect two great communities together! Awesome job @deliberator :)

Thanks brother.

You are doing a great work!!!!! I really appreciate it
-cheers-
