POCKET Friday, vote for your favorite puns!

in #pocket6 years ago

Welcome to POCKET Friday!

If you enjoy jokes, this is your chance to award your favorite jokes from this week’s Punday Monday with your praise and your votes!

All the jokes from this week are in the comments on this post:

How do you vote?

There are so many ways to vote on the Steem blockchain. The most popular, obviously, is the Upvote function. When you read a pun you like on that post, give it your love! Not only will the punsters feel good about having brought you enjoyment, they will also get some STEEM!

Another popular way to vote is with your voice! In a comment or post, tag the user who made the pun you like and let them know that you like it!

But neither of those is the way we determine the winner of this audience favorite award. In order to vote for your favorite punster of the previous week, you’ll send them POCKET in a comment on this post. The next section will tell you how.

How do you send POCKET?

If you don’t already have POCKET, you can get some for the purposes of voting from @paul.atreides! Send him a message or memo that says something like, “I want to vote in this week’s POCKET awards for Punday Monday. Would you send me some POCKET so I can?”

Once you have POCKET, you can send it using the syntax,

pocketsend:0thisisthenumberofpocketyouwanttosend@totheusernamelistedhere,this part is where you tell the punster what you liked about their pun.

Why did I make audience voting like this?

I wanted a system that used a finite resource that wasn’t very related to the personal finances of any individual. By using POCKET, we can see people bidding up their favorite punsters or working together to root for one pun or another. Even if one punster ultimately comes in second, they still get something for their trouble, an instrument that they can use to vote for their favorite punsters in future rounds!

This is Season 2!

We ended our first season of the POCKET Choice awards on October 1st. The Winners’ Circle from Season 1 will be indelibly branded onto our brains. Will your favorite punster be our first member of The POCKET Choice Awards Winners’ Circle Season 2?

The winner will furthermore win 2 more #steembasicincome shares thanks to prize support for #Punday Monday from @curie!

Punday Monday accepts new puns right up until the next Punday Monday!

So, if this is the first you’re hearing of it, head on over, and try your hand at punning!

If you've never punned before, it might seem like magic! You can do it, too! Learn how in My Free How-To Guide on Punning! :)

pocketsend:2@ablaze, hope you KEEP the puns coming. Ba da bing, you've been punned. You see it is funny because he had made a pun involving the terms home and castle and a "keep" is a term for the strong main tower of a castle.

Thanks for using POCKET! I am running this confirmer code.

Though... is something wrong with the syntax? Where are the confirmer bots? Is it that there should be no space after the comma after @ablaze?

pocketsend:2@ablaze

Hmm. Someone should tell @biophil

Sounds like the new hard fork increased the Steem power requirements to operate as a bot to fight spam and the confirmer bots are now under powered.

Oy. Should I suspend Pocket Friday, oh solo voter? Should I make it POCKET independent at least for now?
