in #play4anewbie7 years ago

In an effort to simplify this challenge, I am breaking the post into 4 parts so that the rules for each are simplified.

Part 1 - Overview
Part 2 - Newbie Players
Part 3 - Supporters Of Newbies
Part 4 - Gamemakers

Overview

I will dedicate this week to playing games and contests for newbies. For every game/contest I enter, I will also encourage the Newbies listed in this challenge (below) to also enter the same contests. I will take 100% of the SBD that I win from those games and put it into a Prize Pool. That money (combined with any that comes from the supporters) will be distributed based on the total participation of the newbies. Since it will be a week long effort I don't expect every newbie to play every game, but the prize pool will be distributed based on a relative participation basis.

The newbies will also keep any earnings of their own from their own game entries.

Genesis of "Play 4 a Newbie"

I ran a post asking for nominations of newbies so that I could pick one to play for this week. I figured I'd show someone how they can engage and even make some money while also having fun. It turns out I received 34 nominations, far too many to ignore. So I decided to up the contest a bit, and see if I could get all 34 Newbies to participate (along with their nominators). I approached @newbiegames @greetersguild @newbieresteemday and wanted to know if they wanted to sponsor it. They did! :)

I will be asking my connections if they would like to participate in this project. There will be 2 main ways that people can support us: 1) through either "playing 4 a newbie" too (and donating the prizes won to the "prize pool") or 2) by donating directly to the pool. The bigger the pool gets, the more incentive these 34 Newbies will have to compete with each other this week.

I will also be asking the gamemakers to send me links to their games for this week. I will need many games to play myself and of course I hope to bring 34 brand new game players with me to the games. Obviously I can't play every game sent to me, but I will do my best to play on behalf of the newbies.

So if you are one of the 34 newbies listed in this post, keep your eyes open for the instructions in Part 2 - Newbie Players. It will be coming out tonight. If you are a supporter of this project, look for instructions in Part 3 - Supporters Of Newbies. And if you are a game maker, look for Part 4 - Gamemakers.

Let the games begin soon! :)

I'd rather donate to the prize pool. Should I send it directly to you?

sure @leeart... Just make a note on the memo section for the prize pool for Play 4 a Newbie! And thank you :)

thank you for your donation to the Prize Pool @leeart! :) It is appreciated and I won't mention it specifically, but I will add you to the list of contributors if that is ok with you?

That would be very good @davemccoy :D

😬ANXIOUSLY AWAITING SIR😬

Ok I have one game up already.. it is yours... so you will have to wait for tomorrow for me to post some more!

This sounds interesting. I'm keen to see just what I can get done (though this week will be chaotic at work, so my Steemit time may be somewhat impacted)

I will have a mixture of easy/fast games and harder ones... so just do your best! :)

This is cool! I hope you'll come over and play one (or all) of my contests! I think I have 4 or 5 going right now. They are very easy and the winner gets half the SBD for the post.

Surely he will lol! It's fun joining your contests.

yes you are correct ;)

I will be by for sure @peggyhazelwood! :)

Just when you weren't busy enough... ;)

I'm tagging @thedarkhorse here, because I'd love to see you enter his Pay if Forward Curation Contest; it is a perfect fit for what you are doing here Dave...which by the way, is pretty amazing!

And have you seen the bounty he used to make the prize pool bigger. It might be something to think about for yours too.

Nice job @davemccoy; you are so generous and so selfless...the world would be a better place with more people like you in it ;)

awww that is so sweet to say @lynncoyle1 :) ... thank you very much! And back at ya farmgirl! You are pretty damn amazing yourself (see badboy McCoy) ;) ... And no I didn't see the "bounty"... Can you tell me how that works? I am always interested in hearing new things ;)

You're welcome!

Here is the link to their post. It's easier than me trying to explain it lol. @terminallyill had a look at it too and I think he's using it in his new 'contest'. He thought it was a good thing ;)

sending a donation for the prize pool as I'm super consumed by real life stuff at the moment but I want to give my support :)

Thank you so much @amariespeaks! I saw your generous donation and I'm of course thankful for that, but also happy to see you are alright. I understand that real life is priority, so I hope you are doing better. You deserve it for sure. Again, thank you for your support and also for just coming by and saying hi!

thanks @davemccoy ! I appreciate your kind words :) I'm hoping to get back on my game soon, as long as things start to align a bit. For now, I'm doing my best to get my comments in, make sure I do a few posts a week and jump into discord when I have a free second :)
I love this adopt a newbie theme going on and I really want to do something like that soon. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll be settled enough to take on the responsibly.

Take your time @amariespeaks, I'm not worried because you told me to not be... I know you said you would always stick around, so don't feel any pressure from me... As long as you stay connected, even if its once a week then to me that is all that is important. We are all in this together, so you are my teammate and we will work together and pick each other up!

ps.. I'm glad you like the concept... I think a lot of people couldn't quite grasp it when I was trying to explain it, so I decided just to go for it and see what happens! I love the little dice that move, thanks for showing me how that all can be done rather easily! :)

I will see you around soon and good luck with your real life issues for sure! :)

The force is with you! You got a 33.11% upvote from @steemyoda courtesy of @davemccoy!

thanks! Glad there's no pressure from anyone but myself lol I'm glad you like the dice :)
