steemwars day 1: Overview

Hello steemians wherever you are around the world. As you may know steemwars has officially started.

War: A state of armed conflict between countries or different groups within a country.

Our combatants have armed themselves with words, with images, videos, their wit and cunning and of course, humour. Five countries are battling it out for supremacy, world domination and general bragging rights over the 10 days of steemwars and it's sure to get a little bumpy along the way. General William Tecumseh Sherman of the United States of America coined this phrase back in 1854, "war is hell" and steemwars is likely to be no different.

Team Australia, the protagonist opened strongly with several interesting salvos in respect of the Day One challenge of Elements. @bulleth fired a barrage in all directions at once somehow even incorporating a football-salvo. Ingenious! https://steemit.com/steemwars/@bulleth/steem-wars-day-1-elements-teamaustralia-submission-from-leftenant-bulleth

And who could go past @gohba.handcrafts Psy-ops mission against @teambritain with his destruction of @teambritain's general @tremendospercy with this crushing post: https://steemit.com/teamaustralia/@gohba.handcrafts/steem-wars-team-gb-already-drowning-their-sorrows
Word has it that general @tremendospercy was actually flattered by the post. Who can figure these brits out!?

Another @teamaustralia mission was planned and executed by (deep) undercover brother @tarazkp currently deployed in the land of a thousand lakes, Finland. His mission was to infiltrate and cause chaos amongst the enemy but I think he may have gone AWOL! He's come back to the fold though, poured himself a beer and blazed away shirtless and headband-equiped Rambo-style with his post: https://steemit.com/steemwars/@tarazkp/ice-ice-baby-steem-wars-day-1-elements-teamaustralia-submission-the-undercover-brother Strong effort, code name Fosters, we salute you.

So, the war has begun. The Aussies have opened up on four fronts and have come out swinging like the boxing kangaroo's they are, but where are the other countries? Do they cower in fear or gather their strength enticing the Aussies further into their traps. Do they simply wait for the right moment to deliver carnage, destruction and a jolly-good roasting?

But wait...News just in: Colonel Hogan aka @swenger of @teamusa has launched a counterstrike aimed at, well everybody. Has he delivered a body blow to the enemy or just poked a hornets nest. He even made reference to Dave Dobbyn from New Zealand. Mad genius or just mad? Either way, this powerful counterstrike could prove decisive: https://steemit.com/steemwars/@swenger/steem-wars-day-1-elements-team-usa-submission-by-colonel-hogan

In support of @swenger was @walkingkeys with https://steemit.com/steemwars/@walkingkeys/the-5-elements-of-nature by WalkingKeys and an amazing reference to Snoop Dogg and Joe Dirt, in the same post! Well played sir. Well played.

Fortunately for Australia sargeant @scooter77 wasn't sleeping at his post or too busy watching kangaroos gang-banging to notice the attack coming from Colonel Hogan and repelled it with this excellent post encapsulating every element of what it takes to be an Aussie with his post Steem Wars: https://steemit.com/steemwars/@scooter77/steem-wars-day-1-elements-team-australia-submission-by-sergeant-scooter Whilst he was at it he decided to take a swing at the other countries as well. @teambritain got roasted, literally, @teamnewzealand got called the Canada of Australia (ouch!) which even had @jasonstaggers rolling on the floor with laughter and @teamphillipines were well, a little under-done, is their goose cooked? (or their chicken for that matter).

So, day one is coming to a close. It's time to clean the guns, re-stock the ammo crates and load the MOAB's onto the jets. Day two is just around the corner. Will @teambritain mobilise, will echo's of the @teamnewzealand Haka reach Aussie shores and will @teamphilippines crush them all?

Stay tuned.

Thanks for reading. Get involved with steemwars guys.
