"Super Bowl Week - Newbie Edition" - Final Newbie Payout! (if you didn't experience it, you really should check it out)
Thank you all so much for everything. We encouraged 145 different newbies to engage and to learn the meaning of community (and that doesn't count the hundreds more minnows that also played). In the process we also managed to strengthen our members and partners in a way that will only grow over time. Its a small step, but a step in the right direction... and that is success in my opinion! Great job to everyone!!!
If you didn't participate, but are wondering if this was really successful, I urge you to go through the 17 games below and read the quality of the games and the participation of the players. If you want to understand the potential of the future of steemit, take the time and you will. I promise you that you will support this type of initiative in the future. The process can be duplicated and scaled, and it will happen as soon as the people that matter pay attention! ;)
Special thanks to @doctorcrypto and @kismet2018 for helping me with sending all the bonus payments! That's what I love about this place, we have high quality people all around the world!!!
Here is a list of the newbies that received the $0.05 participation bonus!!!

#5 FREE 2018 Super Bowl LII Block Pool Contest (Click Here To Enter Now)
This entry from @beeyou is a traditional version of the block pool game that is played in offices all over the US. @beeyou had one of her male teammates join the action and add some extra ideas to this game. This is his first game ever, but he took one of my games I was planning and beat me to the punch. This is a great and easy game to play, as you literally just pick two blocks! When gameday gets here on Sunday you will have something to root for even if you don't know football! I love this one, so enter early before all the blocks are gone!!! (I got my block already) He pays out 50% of the post's SBD plus adds another $1 SBD of his own!

#7 Contest (Click Here To Enter Now)
This is a game from not only a new gamemaker he's also a new newbie. How's that for amazing! While this Norwegian needs to brush up on his titling skills, he has one of the funniest games I've played today. He picks a word and ask you to "creatively" define it, and the steemers find a way to make some pretty funny comments. I entered myself and I'm very proud of my answer lol! He pays out 100% of the post's SBD to the most creative entry! That's about as simple as the title!

#8 SteemBasicIncome Giveaway (Click Here To Enter Now)
This game by new game-maker @themanwithnoname is by far the easiest to enter and gives away at least one and maybe 4 lifetime memberships to a daily upvote service @steembasicincome. What do you have to do, you ask? Simply upvote, resteem, and comment that you did those two. That's it and the number of total winners will depend on the total upvote. Pretty easy to play and could be a prize that make you remember that man with no name to remember!

#16 Best celeberty voice imitator challenge (Click Here To Enter Now)
Our brand "new to steemit" gamemaker @funcontest is back for more (again)... This is number 3. This Norwegian is on fire, he is now entering his 3rd contest in three days. I really really think he is serious about this gaming concept ;). He picks a word and ask you to "creatively" define it, and the steemers find a way to make some pretty funny comments. This one had no entries, so it is literally WIDE OPEN! (I think people are a little shy about putting their voices on tape... lol) But we applaud the effort and if someone is brave enough, go for it because you don't have to be good to win, you just have to enter ;)...
