101 COMMENT COMPETITION - EVERYONE WINS!

in #minnowsupport7 years ago (edited)

INTRO:

So in my efforts to work my way up the ranks here, I have realized that one must give back to the community in order to one day become a Whale, and I plan on becoming a Whale one day.

That is one of the GOALS here!

The great thing is that I haven’t yet seen a “ruthless competitive” approach by anyone in particular when it concerns working ones way up the ranks on Steemit, maybe there is someone somewhere, but I haven’t yet noticed anyone in particular.

Amazingly enough the idea of everyone working on what they are doing and supporting others in what they are doing is working on Steemit and I think that sort of confuses all those people who are used to “competition” in everything that they do.

Have to admit, I was kind of confused at first, looking at all the numbers and figures and trying to figure out how it all works. Still haven’t got it all down pat, but I have figured one thing out:

Just do what you are doing, do the best you can, enjoy it, don’t let it become a burden, make it something that you enjoy and not an addiction that gives you sleepless nights etc etc etc.....

Yeah OK, this is more than just one thing, but you all know what I mean!


Sort of, maybe, not!

As most people here have noticed, I am not as computer literate as the most successful people here, but that doesn’t bother me too much, feels a little awkward at times, not understanding everything that everyone is talking about, but at the end of the day I see that I am just one of many. Probably one of the majority that shall one day hop onto this social network, especially once the first “mass media” headlines reports about an average “Joe Blo” making a mint without knowing any of the founders, without knowing much about computers except for “typing” on a keyboard and probably just writing about things that she/he wants to write about that day/week/month.

Maybe I’ve gone a few steps too far here, but at least you all know what I see here.
A social network with a smorgasboard of different cultures and people.

All individuals being human beings, unique and interesting in their own very unique and special way.

The point of this post is that I am trying to put together a “competition” here on Steemit, but I don’t want to do a “raffle” or anything like that, where only one person gets a reward or “prize” so to say.

So I have come up with an idea that I think is rather unique.

Having been impressed with the idea of Meta Tokens and the introduction of POCKET TOKENS here on Steemit
Ref: https://steemit.com/business/@jackmiller/steem-sbd-meta-tokens-thinking-out-of-the-box

I have put together a competition here that should reward everyone and help spread the wealth with the POCKET TOKENS and give a bit of a boost to the Minnow Support Projects (MSP).

Here goes:

THE COMMENT COMPETITION!

comment compettion.jpg

When this post gets to 101 real life comments that are totally relative to this post I shall do the following:

Send 10 POCKET TOKENS to each person who’s comment was more than just one (1) sentence!
(This applies only for the first 101 comments and for a maximum of 101 comments. Total pocket Tokens available for this competition are 1010)
All comments after the first 101 shall be given a nice heart warming "Thank You"!

&

Delegate 250 SP for a period of 90 calendar days to one of the MSP’s.

Which one?

Well, in the comments feel free to tell me which one and WHY.
Otherwise I may just split it up equally among the MSP’s. (or just have the MSP people tell me where to delegate it to)

If this post doesn’t reach 101 comments in the first 7 days, I shall repost this competition with a link to this post and count the existing comments here into the total of the next post, and keep doing so until we get to a total of 101.

There is no obligation to upvote or resteem this post, it would be much appreciated, but it is not an obligation of any sort.
All SP and SBD raised here via this post shall be forwarded to @fundraisers, where upvotes go to those posts raising funds to do GOOD.

The idea is to do something different and to make it rewarding to those who participate and to do some good doing it.

If this all works out, I shall do this again with a different topic.
If it doesn’t then I’ll just have to organize yet another one of those boring unoriginal raffles!

Boo hoo!

So I invite you all to say what you think about this idea, go ahead and comment on the MSP that you want to say something nice about.

Go ahead make my day.... help me spread the little bit of wealth that I have!

PS. Don't be fooled by my wallet, have a look at my Steemit Board and you will see that my earning here are about $250, so this here is a lot for me. The rest of the figure there is an investment that I did from money that we were saving up to buy us a house one day. That is how impressed I am with Steemit and the amount of faith I have in the potential of this entire site, project and idea.

If you don't believe me, here take a look and see for yourselves:
Link to my Steemit Board: http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=jackmiller

Go ahead and comment away..... On my tomb stone: "May he RIP, Died trying to read 101 comments in one day"

hahahhaaaa...... a nice little gif to go with this last sentence!

Sort:  

Can I please be the only one to offer the original comment? Nice post! Upvoted please upvote me. Seriously though commenting is an important part of this platform. I am a fan of contests this is different, encouraging people to comment.

Mate, I enjoy conversations via comments, more so than getting "Likes", Fbook mentality to me is kind of sickening, so I would rather have a million and one comments, communicate with people from all over this world and enjoy what I am doing than have a million and one "Likes" which make me "important".

Now, the fact that this might be "non competitive" in retrospect to the financial rewards offered on this social network, well, too bad so sad. i plan on making my money in the long run, as everything in my life, slowly and (un)surely!

I do play a lottery ticket every now and then, just to see if my number is up, because if it happens I reckon that I need to go running to the confession box..... just in case!

I rarely venture to facebook anymore just to check in once and a while.

This post has received a 0.63 % upvote from @drotto thanks to: @banjo.

Even though this may be a bot, @banjo and @drotto deserve a nice little surprise for all their efforts to make Steemit a better place.

Now I know that I don't have a million in Steem or SBD, but I do have a million in Pocket Tokens!

;)

Oh. How much do you have?

1000001 was my claim, SO I'M IN THE MONEY!

Never! I'm using my money to buy a new flower put for my clothes!

I didn't fully understand.... feel a bit like "Sheldon" from the big bang theory...

"Was that sarcasm?"

:)

That's because you're a computer with no intelligence, just a program with no brain!

Because you're able to have your mind wiped at any moment due to it being attached to the mainframe directly.

I don't understand the technical side, but I did listen to the interview (in the link/in my post here) and if the Gods of Steemit say it is a good thing, then who am I to think otherwise.... I'll just believe them, because I guess they know what they are talking about.

I'm an artist. What instrument do you play?

I guess I was a drummer, rat a tat tatting away!

Hey @jackmiller this is an interesting concept for a competition. Don't think I've seen anything else the same. Best of luck getting your 101 comments.. but don't die reading them.. I like your nightly funnies.. I would miss them!

No matter how it all works out, I am thinking out of the box, I am trying to make the Pocket Tokens more valuable by distributing them with a value to them, as every effort that people put in should be rewarded and I am doing what I like doing most here, communicating with people via comments and enjoying my time here.

The money side of things adds up, so I am not too worried about that, I know that my efforts too shall be rewarded in the long run.

I openly said that I do plan on working my way up to Whale status here, so that part is understood.

I just plan on enjoying it all the way to there!

i think this is the 101 comment, or am i wrong? ehehe
btw sometimes is better to give instead of take :)

Maybe in total number, but BOTS and transfers do not count!

Maybe they will, all depends on how close we get to 101 by the end of the week!

I thought I had everything sorted here, clear understanding and all that jazz. Then I read the comments and got confused, sounded like you did too Jack?

This is gold!!! I need to keep reminding myself this daily.

Just do what you are doing, do the best you can, enjoy it, don’t let it become a burden, make it something that you enjoy and not an addiction that gives you sleepless nights etc etc etc.....

Now I still don't know what pocket tokens are (will go read up now but I am always in for winning free stuff). I tried to give away free games thinking people would have jumped at the chance for something completely free but I couldn't bloody give them away lol.

Where the hell did I take this post? Anyway continue on Jack, thanks for the follow and I look forward to seeing more of your stuff too.

Mate, that is just how I see things here.
Making money is great, yeah, that is the name of the game, that is what got us all staring at our screens... but really, it is a social network, the money is an added bonus.

I haven't yet participated in many competitions/contests, except for a couple of Percy's, did a "TREMENDOS" job at it if you ask me, but the awards went to someone else.... I guess they did a supercalafragalisticsispialadosciuos job of it!

So, after the emotional nightmares of not winning in a contest, not even a nice little sparkling gold star in my school book, I sort of started cooking up an idea where I can hand out an award to everyone who pitches in.... and the Pocket Tokens came in at a perfect time.

Now, by handing out some to be used by others on the platform, it can only help to increase the value of these Meta Tokens on our platform.

WIN WIN WIN!!!!!

Again, just the way I see it!

Hey Jack, you really have taken on tne community aspect of Steemit and run with it.
This is a great idea and very generous. Well done buddy. Are you looking for a bot to delegate too or a minnow? I'd like to nominate @ancientmystique for a delegation. She's an awesome Steemian and is always looking for new talent to support.
Good on ya buddy.

PS. This is the first nomination so far.....

This is sounds interesting and a great idea, so I decided to contribute to the competition with one comment.
Enjoy Steemit! Have a nice day!

It is a way to get the Pockets out there and more importantly, I get to have conversations with people here on topics that are relevant to making projects on Steem even greater.

Its already too late for me, but this is a good idea, well thought out kudos to you.

I too find myself feeling not as computer literate as some on this platform, but the one nice thing is that their are so many helpful steemians willing to share links and just help in general that is what I have found so attractive. That also is probably why it seems so much less competitive, but I don't think we should be to fooled by that if you start looking at upvote lists you tend to see that same few names at the top of almost all good post. So there is quite the completion, just not as noticeable. The overall desire to see this platform grow due to its newness is also what drives them to be so helpful if they can stay at the top but develop a steemian "middle class" then everyone prospers due to overall platform growth. I think it really has potential that even those in the middle will be doing quite well. Then you will see real competition develop. As for your competition I really think you are on to something. Thanks.

Ohh that is normal, people will always be people, don't worry about what others are doing, just do what you like doing and do it with all your heart.

The difference is that here on Steemit you shall be rewarded for it, while on other social networks all those "Likes" just became a burden, especially when watching how many of the people there became obsessed with being "Liked".... I mean... come on people... they seriously need to get a life.

Just being who and what we are, hooking up with people who are cool and getting rewarded in doing so makes this entire social network guaranteed to make it!

I really do have faith in the potential that Steemit offers to all of us!

I couldn't agree more this platform has amazing potential. It is great to be involved with it at this phase, I cannot wait to see where it leads.

I also totally understand what you mean about some people almost having a obsessive need for likes its almost comical.. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Commenting and conversing with people is actually more fun in some ways than posting.
But the posts do give us a way to express ourselves and through the comments hear what others have to say.

Better than the fake "Likes" elsewhere.

I know I do tend to enjoy the conversations I have in the comments more than any other platform I have been on. You see much more honesty, like you said because you don't see as many fake likes here mainly because of the limited weight your vote holds. In turn you only really see engagement happening with others that are truly interested in your content and what you have to say, it weeds out the phonies..lol I like that but Ive never been in need of others approval..Not that I don't like upvotes just I find them to be a bonus to meeting others as well as good interaction and the sharing of great knowledge.
