RE: 20 Questions - a fun post to help our Community Engagement Challengers - declined post payout
That's about where I was thinking... maybe once a quarter. Next time I'll be organized from the beginning and I can hunt down donations for an even bigger prize pot. As it is, I didn't think this many people were going to sign up in the first place...or last! (no offense meant) But dang, I wasn't kidding when I said you guys were Jedis. lol
Well, this was the inaugural event @merej99, so it was a learning experience... perhaps for all of us. I;d say you did a superb job of juggling all this. IF you do this again, you'll already have all the processes, the spreadsheet and everything in place. Which should make things a little bit easier. Of course, you could also ask for volunteer "co-hosts!"
I think I will definitely make this a quarterly thing because you're right, I have the spreadsheet and the process. Next time I'll be bothering some whales and bigger dolphins for more donations and definitely snagging some volunteers. If round one is any indication, I'm going to need help. LOL
Quarterly sounds very doable Meredith...with a lot of help. Expect a rise of a factor of 10 on the next challenge...and again for the next. Could be 10,000 Steemians wanting to take this on by this time next year.
Prize pool of 50K SBDs...think about it. Youl have a rep of 99 by 2030...to match your name and you'll be known in the Steemitsphere as the Great One! :D
Of course the prize pool will have to be at least 1 million SBDs by then...round robin tourneys...knock out rapid rounds to winnow minnows and whales alike. The top 100 only go to the final round...am I dreaming in type again here...where is my head? :-0
Oh man, what kind of imagination you have!?
If you didn't learn something from this, whether participating or watching...then you haven't heard about it!
Maybe next time we can vlog the host and co-hostesses.
What I can definitely say is that you have the right attitude of finishing on time! :)
Yeah! It's a great mission so of course many came out for the challenge. Here's to keeping it going!
@merej99 For me it was more of finishing the challenge, than the actual prize of it....just telling myself I can finish the challenge and be more interactive in the community! :)
Finishing was also my goal. And I actually don't want to be in the running for the grand prize.
You mean the delegation of steem power?
yes i think that's it
Because there is also a pool prize...i don't know if its like 300 SBD now? To be divided by the successful steemians who finish the challenge....but also delegated power which @merej99 will provide to one lucky winner while she is away for a week (that is if i understood correctly LOL)
yes, every finisher wins something, i think the pool is closer to 350 or more now. it's the grand prize of the delegated steem that i feel is too much for me at this time
Yes I understand that! It seems like a big responsibility :)
i'm still trying to figure out stuff for myself and yes, that seems like a responsibility i'm not yet equipped to handle
I actually would like to win that SP prize...a new learning curve that I may not see for years :)
I agree. The finish is the thing! I'm so far away from the 500 comments but dang it! I want it and I'm stubborn. Just have to want it more than sleep.
I have honestly been going to bed past midnight, some nights even 1am to finish the daily 50...that was my goal...reachable goal of 50 comments a day for 10 days...i have surpassed my 50 goal today...but must say @merej99 has helped us out in many ways especially with her 20 questions...plus it has been so much fun to interact with others and their answers :)
Yes, she's a saint for thinking of ways to get us there. It's helped so much! And made it wayyyy more fun!
Definitely! I laughed so much yesterday not just answering but interacting with others!
I was in my room on my laptop and I did NOT want to wake the little ones. Had to muffle my laughter.
Oh that is horrible when you really gotta laugh! Lol
And don't worry you will get there! One post at a time!! :)
I don't think I've been to bed before 5 am in a long time but I don't have to get up to an alarm clock either. Holy crap! I'm only 6 away from 10K comments. you know what this means? I've done almost 1200 comments. hahaha.... WOW. That's nuts.
WOW. So kuddos to you! I have to get up on an alarm during the week (even in the summer) because we still have a visit schedule to keep. Although the alarm is just a backup...I usually am woken up well before that! During the school year, I get up at 4:15! That's coming way too soon...
still 125 away as of this comment teach...I may just break through that wall...thinking of cancelling my lawyer appointment...priorities have gone askew since Steemit :-/
Steemit can be addictive! You closer to the finish goal?
I am back...105 to go! ;)
I definitely lost more than a few hours of sleep due to the comment portion of this challenge hahaha
I could go to sleep right now but must. Keep. Posting.
Lol @thesimplelife! I felt like that for a few days! @thesimplelife how far are you?
I finished last night. Had to! Zero time today. You?
Finishe the night before. Great job! 👍
As it turns out @thesimplelife you were as stubborn as you needed to be...I'm truly impressed...it's been one inspiration after another meeting you.
~smiles fer miles~
I just went through a 20+ minute bw wall...this is getting real hard
You didn't divide the comments? That would have made it easier for you. Keep going! 👍
divide the comments...hmmm...sssay wha? lol...I don't follow you @sgnsteems...anything to avoid the wall I'm listening :)
I mean 50 comments day 1, 50 comments day 2 etc... 😊
Ummm I just learned last night...or was it this morning...that it wasn't confined to to my posts and the "fun posts"
L O frig'n L ...I spent the last week trying to entice people to post comments on my posts so I could reply...maybe get a conversation going. Even responded to obvious spam.
I understood that it was the "post" ticker on the page...but I had no idea it was actually the post ticker on my blog page header that mattered...and nothing else. Sometimes I'm too busy enjoying the forest and I don't notice the tree until it walks into me...yeah I said that ;p
I think others who had so far to go to catch up also thought the same...surely I'm not the only one...c'mon...somebody fess up!
I never thought I'd actually make 500 comments, but I only need like 10 more!
