IFC Season 2 Round 13 - Thankfulness - Catch Up Round

Hello there! Welcome to our digital spaceship castle.

Hello IFC peoples.

This is a bit unusual to start a round on a day that isn't Saturday or Sunday, but.. I have some reasons for doing so and I think it's good to keep you on your toes a lil bit as well, this is a mental contest afterall and sometimes surprises happen.

First before we get into the round details I'd like to say that I accidentally resteemed a couple of my father's photography images the other day to the @ifc account, I apologize for the confusion there! I thought I was on my regular @apolymask account and hopefully I don't make that mistake again but I have a feeling you'll all understand and not be so bothered by it.

Second I'd like to say that I'm about to make a post shortly in the next few hours or less that is an application for curie, so it would be helpful I think if you could go read it after I post it and leave a comment to help show that our community is active even if we don't have as many players as last season and it's a bit slow.

With that out of the way, let's move on to the next round shall we?

We're getting close to the end of the second season and this is going to be our first catch up round. That means you can only play if you have not won a round yet.

And since we've only got the results up for the first three rounds so far that means as long as you're not nmcdougal94, bengy or jbreheny that you can enter.

The subject of our thirteenth quest is.. "Thankfulness"
The object of this round is primarily to tell us what you're thankful for. :)

It doesn't have to be just one thing, you can be thankful for numerous or many things.. It's up to you how many things or people you want to include.

Also it doesn't necessarily have to be a post on what you're thankful for, it could just be a write up/type up on the subject of thankfulness or anything related to the subject of thankfulness.

However I would personally like to see and read about what some of you are thankful for! And if you didn't know it, I'm very thankful for all of you! <3 :) Every single person who is a part of this community makes me happy and grateful. So thank you! For being a part of all this.

By the way there will be two more "catch up" rounds this season and will likely happen on Sunday, BUT.. Not guaranteed. They could happen on any day.

So far we have received support and 10steem from @underground and I have confirmed that @ats-david @krnel @timcliff @steemcommunity and @ura-soul will also be supporting us this season.

Underground, ats-david, krnel, timcliff, steemcommunity, and ura-soul are all witnesses, so if you support what we are doing here at the IFC please look into them and give them a vote for witness as well. By the way to vote for ats-david you should vote for his @ats-witness account.

Also it looks like @ecoinstar will donate 100 shares of steembasicincome to the winners, with 60 SBI going to the grand prizer winner, 25 SBI to second place and 15 SBI to third place.
And thanks to @bengy for delegating 25 steem. :)
A special thanks as well to @davemccoy and @newbiegames and @newbieresteemday who are not technically sponsors but we have worked with them in the past. Looks like newbiegames and newbieresteemday have been inactive for months though we still use their tags for the time being.

The challenge will finish after 7 days when the post ends and provides its payout cycle or when all entries have been submitted.

25% of the post payout goes to curation and after that what's left will now be split up 75% to the winner of the round and 25% to put towards building up the @ifc account.

For those who play via email.. This will be recorded and saved for you, and.. If you're unwilling to make your own steem account we will at some point be willing to convert it for you to whichever currency however.. Not for small amounts, you must earn at least 10 steem for us to take the time to do this for you.

Plus here's a YouTube video I made on the subject of the IFC that I'm going to include with each round post.
