Engaged! C-Squared Readers' Choice Contest - FULL RULES
The @c-squared account will place a 12 Steem Bounty on this weekly contest post, published every Sunday.
How to claim the bounty
Bounty hunters (you the reader!) must leave a comment in reply to this post with a link to a post recently upvoted/resteemed by @c-squared (still in payout) and an explanation of why you liked this post.
PLEASE NOTE To be eligible for bounty payout, three criteria must be met:
- The comment must include a valid URL of a post recently upvoted/resteemed by @c-squared (still in payout at the time the comment is left).
- The comment must include a non-spammy/non-generic explanation of why you liked the linked post.
- A non-spammy/non-generic comment must be left in reply to the linked post as well.
The @c-squared account will upvote comment(s) that satisfy the above criteria, determining who gets the bounty (if multiple comments are upvoted by @c-squared the bounty will be split). The C-Squared admins will review all comment entries and the best comments will receive a larger % vote, thus receiving more of the bounty.
ONLY ONE COMMENT PER USER WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR BOUNTY You are welcome to leave as many comments below as you want to help highlight the awesome posts curated through @c-squared, but only your first comment will be eligible for bounty payout.
Spam commenters and users who are obviously copying existing comments in hope of upvote and bounty will be flagged.
Examples of comments that would be too spammy/generic to qualify for the contest (this is a non-exhaustive list): "I like this post"; "Nice post"; "Cool post"; "This post was my favorite", etc. What we are looking for is why you liked a post, what in specific you liked about it, how the post made you feel, and in general looking for thoughtful responses that prove you actually read the post and enjoyed it.
Engagement League Booster Prize
In the spirit of C-Squared's mission to encourage engagement on the Steem blockchain, we would like to encourage users to participate in @abh12345's League of Engagement. The league gamifies your engagement stats, generating a weekly score for all participants based on number of comments left, number of users commented on, number and diversity of outgoing upvotes, number of witnesses voted for and other metrics listed in the weekly contest post.
2 SBI PRIZE Up to two users weekly are eligible to receive a 2 SBI share prize just for signing up for the Engagement Leagues for the first time. PRIZE CONDITION: You must clearly state that you came on C-Squared recommendation when you sign up for the league.
To sign up: State your intention to participate in the comments at the most recent contest post, published every Sunday on @abh12345's blog. REMEMBER you must state you came on c-squared recommendation to be eligible for the 2 SBI prize.
If more than two users are eligible for the weekly prize, a random drawing will be conducted to determine the two winners

I am a huge fan of the game of thrones and this is one of the posts that caught my attention. It seems I shared the point of view of the author of the post as well aside to the fact that he manages to worked on a beautiful drawing of one of my favorite character.
Cheers

This post hits deep, expose fears and offers solace. It is like a gift of second and third chances. It also gives a subtle yet obvious warning against domestic violence. It is just wonderfully written with lots of lessons. These are reasons I love the post.

I like this post very much ... it's a part of an interesting story ( I checked other entries about Hermann too), it has a feeling of a great, but real, not overblown adventure and I like the way is told. Like the pictures, especially the simple but effective photograph of the local landscape that makes easier to imagine the world in which the events took place.

I think pollution is a global issue that we all have to start having more conversations around. In this article the author was talking about radiation that was found in the plankton (* not the type on Steemit) in the marinara trench. It's just crazy how much impact we've had on this planet. Something has to be done as our current methodology and lifestyles are not sustainable.

I like spicy sauces, and other food items, so this one was right up my alley. The sauce she made sounds pretty good, I might have to try making it sometime.

Maybe I'm becoming a bit bias but this sculpture of Attack on Titan is freaking epic - https://steemit.com/@iscariath/attack-on-titan-shingeki-no-kiojin-sand-sculpture-ylgea6xb
I have been super impressed by @iscariath's sand sculptures as well!
