#HandFace ✋Silly Game 😀 WINNERS ROUND 1
We had 3 entries to the first #HandFace Competition. They're all great. Check them out!
Before I get into the awards here, I want to start off by saying this was the very first #HandFace competition. So, thank you to everyone for their patience and understanding while I figured things out.
Some mistakes happened this time around. The bounty got distributed to everyone on the post (that was my fault.) My upvotes obviously shouldn't count. Lol. And some of the entries were not complete— which I've let slide this first time around. That being said, I still feel it went REALLY well for the very first try.
So, the SBD payout of the contest was 1.792 SBD. I'm absorbing the cost of the mayhem I caused by voting on the comments. Lol. That means .292 SBD carries over into the next round.
There were 3 entries.

✋PRIZES ✋
@izaid won the most number of votes by a LANDSLIDE (even when subtracting my vote.)
@simplymike won the favorite of mine this time around. I chose it because of the hot pink dreadlocks.
This was an extremely tough call because I'm biased towards music and izaid put a LOT of work into make his Handface. Also, because olivia08s entry has a video which had me laughing as well. I judged this way, this time, because when I first saw simplymike's HandFace, I almost choked on my sandwich.
@olivia08 won the random draw. I was not able to load the parser this morning, so I used dice to choose this time giving olivia 1 & 3, simplymike 2 & 5, and izaid 4 & 6. I rolled 3.
ALL three entries were BEYOND EXCELLENT!
My phone is not charged. But I rather pay these out (3 days late) than wait any longer. So I will comment below with payouts and screenshots later.
As for the bounty, it usually goes by upvote. If nobody else would have commented, it would have scaled from izaid, to olivia08, to simplymike. I will adjust these manually.

Contest Changes
Because I'm new to game making, I didn't anticipate all the things that went haywire. Learning from mistakes is a big part of getting it right. So, I'm making the following changes to the game for the next round.
I won't be using Steem Bounty again for #HandFace as part of the prize pool. I love the idea of the bounty, but it would work a lot better on a contest formatted like Steem Song Title Contest. Bounties on the #HandFace contest, if any, will be only to incentivize top-level commentary going forward.
While I'll still be commenting on entries, I won't be voting on entries or top-level comments. Subtracting my votes later is a pain in the poptart. Lol.
You WILL be allowed to use #GooglyEyes on your #HandFace. After an enlightening talk with @fraenk, we've decided it's of no negative consequence. However, all entries to #HandFace must be original. It's up to #GooglyEyes how they feel about allowing #HandFace entries containing #GooglyEyes in their contest. See the latest #GooglyPrize Winner Announcement for details about #GooglyEyes. See the rules of the next #HandFace contest for clarity on using #GooglyEyes in your entries.
It will be mandatory to submit a post to your own blog. This will be without exception. Comment only contributions will not be considered valid entries and will be taken as participation just-for-fun. Part of the reason a post is compulsory is, I want this contest to go viral and populate the #HandFace tag. Plus, this gives entrants the extra incentive of gaining separate incentive from their own follower-base for their entry.
I won't be picking my own favorite anymore. That is the hardest thing I've yet to do. The tension is too much. Ha-ha. So I decided instead to enlist secret judges. Judges won't be announced with the contest, and instead will be announced when the winners are announced.
If you want to sponsor the contest and get a shout out, send any amount over 0.5 SBD to my wallet with the memo HANDFACE SPONSOR. There will be no refunds for mistakes. If you want to sponsor with another incentive, such as resteem, @steembasicincome share, SP delegation, or other prize; reach out to me on Discord at https://discord.gg/gcZkjH4
The next #HandFace contest will have a physical prize— yes. I'll be sending out physical prizes from my Amazon store. More on that next post!

Bounties will be adjusted soon. Thanks for your patience. :)
Wow. Yo you are the truth.
Hey @proprlee ♥️ What's good :) How have you been?
Kudos to pulling of the first (hardest) round of your contest! What a great success, I only had two participants in my first (unofficial) issue! ;)
I guess a #HandFace with #GooglyEyes becomes a #GooglyHand?! I wouldn't mind seeing a few of those around ;) On to the next round!
but that isn't really a thing... not yet at least... krkrkr
You can freely promote #googlyeyes in the comments of the announcements. 😀 I'll edit the post if you want to give me the links you want me to send people to in order to learn about #googlyeyes. Also, I wouldn't mind making #GooglyHand some kind of official collaborative. If you're interested, throw some ideas at me on Discord. I'm on and off the rest of the day but I can respond in between tasks.
It's all good... nothing wrong with the challenge of finding out what that's all about through just the tags... but of course, if you wanted to make it easier for everyone, you could just leave a link to the most recent #GooglyPrize Winner Announcement, but where's the "proof-of-brain" in that?!
Lol. Post updated. Lol.
And thanks for the RESTEEM ♥️
Hahaha. This is so awesome.
Thank you! I hope you consider participating next time. :)
It was a very funny contest - you hot me to make my first handface. Congrats on that.
But I especially admire your analytics skills to find out what went wrong or what could be improved. You’re obviously very smart (but I knew that already) and a very quick learner.
Way to go!!
Wow thanks. Not sure if that skilled, but Microsoft Excel always has my back. That and 80/20 usually do the trick. I appreciate the compliment. Didn't think of it on my own though. I do want things to be honest. I feel folks deserve that since I also somewhat benefit from the powerups and exposure. Least I can do is try to make the prizes work out (and if not, absorb it.) I think it's nice too that I can give away stuff. I'm trying to think of some PHYSICAL prizes that can ship light worldwide. I might give away a pack of 100 googlyeyes, maybe stickers, maybe erasers. What do you think? Trying to keep packages small and light but still fun little prizes. Shoe laces?
