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! :)
