IFC Finals Third Round - UFOs/Aliens
Hello there! Welcome to our digital castle.

Welcome back!
Another savage battle and only 4 competitors remain.
This challenge will determine if you make it into the championship.
We were suppose to finish the competition on July 18th.. But.. We've had a mistake that set us back a week, and a tie.
So.. Just like most other popular sports, we are in a sense going into "overtime".
However.. I'd like to remind everyone we are still new to this and figuring it out/learning as we go.. So.. Hopefully next season we end closer to the projected/predicted end date.
Yet.. Ultimately.. I think ties are a major part of this game and we'll be likely to see more overtimes in the future and times when we go beyond projected/predicted schedule.
Thank you everyone for playing or being a part of all this. :)
And.. Thanks for your patience! I'm excited to see where this all goes! So.. Let's continue.. Shall we? :)
Here are the results for Round Two of the finals.

Darn! We're getting close!!!
Some interesting lineups. I never predicted it would have gone the way it did, but here we are! Good luck remaining players!
If you've been aware of the IFC you've probably noticed there's a Alien/UFO theme going on. And.. Back by popular demand/vote the subject of this quest will be one we have done already. Aliens/UFOs.
You can submit anything you want in regards to the subject. Could be a historical account, or some evidence like a video on YouTube or a short story or a song or a combination or a personal experience, it's up to you!
ALSO.. Please don't hesitate to ask myself or one of the other judges if you have a question, I'm sure someone will be happy to try to help.
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!
@krnel has also offered some support and does other good things to help out on the platform in general, I suggest you vote for krnel as a witness as well if you want to support all of this.
@steemcommunity has also helped us and expressed interest in helping more in the future and they likewise also help the community in various additional ways, I suggest voting for them as witness as well!
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.
Also not a sponsor, though @iexplore has taken a huge workload directly off of my shoulders and is now doing the "catch up" rounds, those should be posted on the @ifc page.. And I suggest giving him a follow and some support as well if you appreciate the work as he is doing an amazingly helpful and important job!
And another thank you to our recent sponsor @underground for donating 10 Steem.
In addition to connecting us with underground, @eaglespirit has also connected us with @derangedvisions who has donated 10 steem as well. Thank you derangedvisions!
Eagle Spirit gains another 10 XP for this which puts her at 35 XP, and we are probably going to use the steem from her sponsors to help fund a special IFC All Star round. :) Stay tuned for that!
Furthermore we received a 5 SBD donation from @youhavewings with a nice message attached thanking us for what we do at the IFC, thank you youhavewings! And you're welcome as well for what we do. :) Glad to share this experience with all of you! <3
And finally, a thank you to @tonyr who has donated a Trophy Token to the winner of the championship.

If there is a tie we will do another round until there is a winner.

Congratulations @wholeself-in, good luck in the remaining two competitions, I hope you do well. You were a great competitor. Congratulations to all the other three as well. You have some tough but I am sure exciting times ahead.
@apolymask, I know I have said it many times before, but this has been a wonderful competition/game you have run. I got to do a lot of thinking outside the box, and to try a lot of things I have not tried before on steemit, or other social media.
Win lose or draw, it has been a blast. Looking forward to next year and to see what challenges you come up with. Like we kept telling people even as late as round 36 it was still anyone's game. And it was, I am sure it is still going to be a true fight to the finish.
Thank you. I can't believe how this contest has brought out a competitive streak I never knew I had! My heart was definitely in my throat seeing this post in my feed.
Guess I've never been in a for real competition with stakes versus people I like and respect. Thanks for giving me a reason to do my best.
I think we all have a competitive side in us. It would have been fun to be the first champion, but I certainly had a nice run, one a few rounds, and had a lot of fun in the process. It is about winning, but also about having fun. You have some mighty tough competition. ahead, but I am sure you will manage.
OMGGGG not YHW and I 😛😣😛
yay and congrats to the last four standing!! go women go!! ❤️❤️❤️😘
LMAO! he looks tweaked out ... bwahahaha
Congratulations @magicalmoonlight! Tight round for us, best of luck with the next roubd!
And good luck to everyone! It's been a pleasure to be playing, see you all in season 2!
It certainly was a successful season one, here's to season two.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
bwahaha there you go talking in poetry again! :)
Thanks! I was really nervous that I wouldn't win that round. Your post was excellent.
@magicalmoonlight I think you won. Your possible compeition is bringing her 'A+' game. I think you have a great chance of capitalizing on aspects of your content creation that can greatly benefit you. I personally think if you spent more time on the post and made a video of sorts at least to correlate with your intro will really help bring out more of how 'personable' your writing is. You connect with the reader better than most and do a great job of adding just enough personality to your posting. Your markdown was superb and not distracting. I did sense a rushed aspect to your post on this round. I hope you win this round and bring your A++ game if you win to the finals!
Wow more power houses knocked out! @apolymask really stressed it was never to late to join and it sure is showing now!
Good luck to you ladies :)
It was a tough road to travel, but it was fun. Now to see it through to the last two rounds. Going to be some tight calls I am sure, glad I am not a judge is all I can say.
Would be fun to be a judge but I know what you mean! Will you take part next season again?
Likely in some capacity or another. May enter a few, volunteer to judge a few, donate to the cause, or just follow it. I will have to wait and see how everything shakes out. Judging, even though I know would be a hard thing to do, I may volunteer for on an as needed basis. I did enjoy the game and the challenges.
thank you krypto!!!
Oh cool how exciting to have such a great topic - I'm sure Aliens/UFOs will produce some intergalactic artworks from the inter-dimensional ethers...
Tantananaaan! The Final 4! Good luck! :D
