1000 DAYS OF STEEM : Day 25 - Catching Up and Getting Better
We are busy, busy, busy with curation at the moment.
The Diary Game posts really are pouring in.
We are loving it!
Catching Up
We are curating dozens and dozens and dozens of great posts every day - both for The Diary Game and The Shopping Game.
Tomorrow we should be finishing the final Shopping Game posts.
We hope you all enjoyed that game.
It was a fascinating one to curate - particularly as it included Eid al-Adha.
We hope to bring the Shopping Game back again if there is sufficient interest - maybe for one week at a time - later in the year.
Once the Shopping Game posts are out of the way, all our curation attention will be focused on The Diary Game posts.
You will not necessarily get your posts curated straightaway - we have up to 7 days in the voting window.
If posts do not follow the current rules of The Diary Game we reserve the right not to vote or comment on them at all.
So now is a good opportunity to double check that your posts, and if you are in a team those of all your team members, are meeting the rules.
Getting Better
One thing we hope to see during Season 2 of The Diary Game is continual improvement.
We want to see posts getting better and better each day.
This should particularly be the case for newcomers to the game.
We hope to see team mates giving helpful tips to each other.
Especially we are looking to the Country Representatives to be leaving useful advice in comments on Diary Game posts from their country.
Those sorts of comments will definitely improve their chances of winning in the new Country Representative of the Month contest.
In a recent Diary Game post Colombia based @openmindedtravel wrote...
Its time for us to take responsibility as a community for upvoting good content, and pushing back if only via comments, against bad content - which isn't easy or comfortable. It is the only way we are going to make this platform viable.
We totally agree on this.
The Lucky 10s comment rewards contest is still in operation and we are particularly looking for good, helpful, friendly, polite comments giving people tips and advice on how to improve their posts.
Everyone, including the Country Representatives, can win those 10% upvotes for the best and most useful comments.
Remember when you are commenting on posts it is good practice to vote on them as well.
You will be earning curation rewards if you do.
If you want to know more on that read @remlaps very useful recent post on the value of curation...
Thank you,
The Steemit Team
PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY SHOPPING GAME OR DIARY GAME LINKS IN THE COMMENTS - WE ARE WORKING THROUGH #theshoppinggame & #thediarygame TAGGED POSTS
THANK YOU
The rewards from this post go to support the work of @fundacorazon and @littledisciples both in Venezuela.
Hi @steemcurator01 @steemitblog As the @italygame team that is taking care of the Italians on the platform we wanted to make a post in Italian with the rules of the DiaryGame. In this way we think we are a valid support and reference point for Italians on Steem.
I hope this is useful and is to your liking.

Thanks Steemit Team for doubling up your steps to curate the #shoppinggame finals by tomorrow. I think the Diary game posts keep coming day in and day out. The community is busy and because of that the curation of the Diary game post has been slow. Most of my Newcomers from 4 days, their posts haven't been curated. But I am not worried since the 7 days hasn't reached. I really trust @steemcurator01 for his good job doing on the curation. Yes!, We are also alongside giving tips to our team members both here and our newly created platforms such as Whatsapp chat page. We hope to see a great improvement in our Diary Game. Thanks for this updates.
Cool! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this update @steemitblog. I strongly agree with @openmindedtravel. It is incumbent upon us all to try our best possible in engaging fellow diarists in the comment section as well as upvoting good contents. I'm only a month old in the chain so i obviously cannot distribute enough rewards from the reward pool. But I try to engage the diaries I read. I've also set rewards to 100% power up to help give good upvotes. It seems people are forgetting the whole point of the diary game is to learn about each other, connect and create lasting healthy relationships on this ecosystem.
As for the curation of the diary game posts by @steemcurator01, I'm not really worried as I've noticed some of my posts get upvoted on the 7th day. We highly appreciate the huge upvotes.
We are all here to make this system work -it's not perfect, but The Diary Game feels like we are finally getting a voice on the community side too.
I totally agree with you.
Thanks very much @njaywan for leaving a very healthy comment here. It's really true to if we keep engaging people on the block chain that they will also feel good to be here, especially my friends Newcomers. Thanks for your follow up with this updates.
Super update! How many contestants are playing in the diary game?
5 contestants are playing in the diary game and 4 times repeatedly i posted in this community to check my team formation post but has not been checked till now . This turns out to be very demotivating sometimes @vipnata
voting is great help for me.

Greetings @steemitblog I know that you have a lot of work ahead and have shown that you have also fulfilled and that is excellent, I would like you to have the opportunity to do an update of the standings of both teams and individual at least once a week I think this would help the competition so that those who leave behind are looking to improve, well it is an idea, I know it is a bit difficult since it has too much work but I present this idea only, but anyway thanks for everything They are making it quite motivating and it makes the platform fully active. We keep working.
STEEM ON
Great work you're doing. Keep it on. However, I run a Physical Training Hub and I ensure all trainees in my hub join steem and are part of this Diary Game. I sometimes take to tutor them on the use of the Steem ecosystem, is it too late to create a team?
@steemitblog, thank you for this update. Though i have been wandering why non of my #thediarygame post has been voted, including that of my team members @steemalive. But since you said it was caused by the ongoing #theshoppinggame curation, we will exercise a little more patience.
But all the same i am really enjoying #thediarygame, it is bringing the our steemians closer to each other via the daily activities.
Personalmente, creo que #Thediarygame no estaba preparado para reiniciar, llevo 7 publicaciones de las cuales solo 2 han recibido voto, entonces me pregunto ¿realmente van a sumar los puntos si ni siquiera se leen los diarios? Obvio que esto se trata de calidad, me esfuerzo en tomar fotos, en contar mi día a día, pero ni siquiera hay suficiente gente leyendo estos trabajos y eso, eso es desmotivante.
Agradezco que estén trabajando en ello, porque no es fácil, pero si deben reclutar más gente que pueda leer, que comente las publicaciones, hay mucha gente participando y todos quieren ser valorados.
Hola @marpa estoy de acuerdo contigo en mi caso ya llevo 4 diarios que no han sido votados, el 2do, 4to, 5to y 6to, la verdad creo que las recompensas no están siendo lo más justas posibles, además de que hay a quienes le dan mayores votos y a otros que merecen lo mismo le dan menos recompensas. Como dices todos hacen el esfuerzo de tomar sus fotos y además seguir las reglas "que son varias" y no somos bien recompensados. Es mas ni han visualizados nuestros diarios. Espero que recibamos respuesta de @steemitblog porque como bien dices sino son votados como aculamos puntos como equipo?? Es como difícil.!!
When i played #theshoppinggame i also tried to curate the tag as much as possible - typically refreshing the tag every hour would show maybe 2 or 3 new posts, sometimes more.
#thediarygame tag i can refresh every 10 minutes and there are sometimes 5- 7 + new posts!!
