RE: 🚀 Redfish Rocket Contest: Winners Announcement
This has been such a fun week! Thank you so much @simplymike for the delegation and for the contest. This was such a great way to choose the winners. I know for a fact that this provided several of us with many hours of competitive fun this week. I know a couple of us had a fantastic time with it.
I should congratulate not only the other winners but all who played. I truly hope everyone gained as much from the playing as
i did. Just getting on that list is hard. Believe me I know.
Never thought I would be so happy to be worth a penny.
I am still kind of in awe not only to have won, but I never scored this high on the list before. Putting in the effort is a bit of an understatement. somewhere along the line it hit me. If I were to put this much effort into making real dollars I could just buy the SP.
But something else happened as I had to figure out how to beat the other contestants I also learned what it takes to place on the leagues. Not only that but all of the commenting truly does have its own rewards.
I will be thinking about that for a few days letting it sink in. I knew a few days ago that win or lose my whole Steemit experience has transformed into something different.
I am very excited to see what it is like to experience Steemit with a bit more of a vote.
Thanks also to all of those who have tolerated my slightly extended reply's this week. :D
You got me curious with
Anyway, congrats on winning, and thanks for putting in the effort. Engagement is what keeps this platform alive.
So now don’t start going easy from now on. Those ‘slightly extended replies’ should be here to stay ;0)
Oh it was nothing nefarious only that it is an entirely different form of engagement once the comments begin to look like mini blog posts. Also all that bantering back and forth that
I do just for a fun stress release sure will build up a quick over all count.
Seems like having a good mix of both types is one way to hit the top twenty. Which by the way was also a goal of mine for the last couple weeks.
as far as those epic novel length comments go, I am struggling with balance a bit on that score. My posting frequency is lacking. The top ten of the league get out several posts a week. So yeah I know step up the game. I intend to make the best use possible of my eight weeks.
If I can figure out how lol
On good days, I also post comments that are longer than my posts. Takes up so much time that could be spent on other things. But once I start talking/writing, I often can’t stop, lol.
It happens to me all the time that I’m so busy commenting that at the end of the day I finf myself with not enough time to write a post anymore...
I have bern thinking about turning those long comments into posts, and then reference to those in my commrnts, but that doesn’t feel like the right thing to do ;0)
I find I have that problem too. Especially when it's something I'm passionate about. I have had a few people tell me they would like to see some of the longer comments be turned into posts. If you were to do it, I think it would be great!!
If the conversation is really good I am finding it just spans posts and continues on. The thing is authentic relationships develop that way.
My brain goes a little dead after a while. End of the day posting for me would be a disaster. I may try turning off Gina and writing in the morning. The coffee usually has me yapping away.
Maybe just write on the same theme and forget the reference. If your thoughts run like mine it will take on a life of its own anyway.
It can be hard for little fish like me to always figure out the right things to do. There sure are a lot of subtle undercurrents to watch out for.
That is so funny. But so true! I also noticed the comments were starting to look like mini posts @headchange. And my posts have been far less but the interaction is way more fun. I've been away for the last two days so I totally missed this post. Just heard via my brother (who likes spying on my Steemit activity) that I had an amazing SP delegation. I totally forgot about this contest because I have been suddenly finding I spend more time on the comments since joining Steemit. Oops. Umm...mini post
