NOW INTRODUCING... THE PAPA-PEPPER WILD CARD! - And Papa the Judge!
A lot of interesting efforts have taken place to reward great posts and comments. Many of these are group efforts, many individuals are also doing their part.
In an attempt to reward interaction and participation, I am now introducing the @papa-pepper WILD CARD!
What exactly is the "@papa-pepper WILD CARD?"
It's my personal attempt to reward contest participation and quality interaction. Many contests do not have that many prizes, so, periodically, I'll be showing up and picking some of the entries that didn't "win" and personally rewarding them for entering. Also, when I find posts and comments that I wish I could reward more than just by upvoting them, I'll drop a @papa-pepper WILD CARD on them!
Why?
Because Papa cares!
The entire steemit community has blessed me in many ways, and it's one small (and fun) way that I can give back to the steemit community.
Exactly what will the prizes be?
Either STEEM or STEEM DOLLARS, in whatever amount I choose! The exact amount awarded will not be published in the comment, so if you see a reply to a contest entry, post, or reply with the @papa-pepper WILD CARD, you had best check your wallet and see what happened!
I'll be dropping the @papa-pepper WILD CARD image along with a link to this post, in case people are not aware of what's going on!
Papa the Judge!
This week, I am the Judge for the "STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE."
Click on the image source above to view the contest details! Not only will I be picking 5 winners in the Steemit Culinary Challenge run by @englishtchrivy, I'll also be dropping a @papa-pepper WILD CARD on one of the entries that "didn't make the cut."
There are two days left to still enter that contest, so fire up the grill and get cooking!
Who's ready to enter some contests and interact a little more?
Papa will be watching!
If you have a contest that you run, and would like me to consider dropping a @papa-pepper WILD CARD on one of the entries, just send me a reply or message me on https://steemit.chat
Also, I've currently got a contest running, as does @ballinconscious... in case anyone wants to enter!
Except for the Steemit Culinary Challenge image above,

Technically, this @papa-pepper WILD CARD means that you could win even more by losing a contest!
Like my first photo for the WILD AND STRANGE contest perhaps!
New entries, posts, and comments only... I'm not that wild...
You have 120 votes . . and only 15 views . . how does that make you feel?
I love your posts . . they add value to my life. But, there has to be a balance. They have no Idea what they upvoted.
Hopefully many are from supporters who choose to Autovote me and then check the post out when they have a chance...
Or maybe I'll just be elected King of the Bots....
I may be 18 hours late but hey, I read the whole post :)
Just remember, if you don't enter, I won't judge you!
this place will become auto bots . . and AI . . . . good luck to us all.
They can curate, but they can't blog!
Plus, they can't get a @papa-pepper WILD CARD either!
Hey @papa-pepper if you don't stop coming up with all of these great ideas Dan and Ned are going to lure you to Virginia to work at the Steemit headquarters!
Why would you ever do that though when you're having so much fun here and adding so much steem to Steemit!?
Keep up the great work buddy!
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
Well said @kus-knee!
Might be able to do that job from home...
Thanks Old Dog!
You always make me laugh out loud. You are creative and funny and well, a nice person. Good luck with the contest. I don't usually partake of those because I'm not a foodie, a brave photographer, scrambled sentence figure outer, or or or. I do play steemsports - 50/50 change right? hehehe
Saw you on the steem sports!
Thanks for the wonderful compliment!
Same here. My wife already gets upset at me for how much time I am on Steemit. I don't think I could ever make the time to partake in all the contests. I would love to, though.
I haven't been on Steemit for 3 days because I am out of province. I haven't watched tv or had any electronic time really with the exception of keeping in touch with home via email or text.
Steemit has a way of pulling you in....like a vortex with a huge magnet at the bottom.....moo ha ha ha.... :)
And that's what wives are for....adjudicating. I'm chief adjudicator in my home, after all. Can't say I am the judge or boss....and I'm not always heard, but I just have to say it sometimes. Just have to. :)
Yes, you are right. I wish my wife would Steem, too. Then she may let up on me a bit.
...but what about the children? Who would take care of them when she gets sucked into the all day vortex....lol. But she could maybe blog about life with "pappa" and being a homesteader.
It's tough though. It's not just blogging, it's reading other people's posts, commenting and encouraging and getting to know people. It takes time. And if she is creative like you, she'll be doing all kinds of things more than that.
Make her a prize (gift) and all will be good. Nothing says lovin' like a home made present, saith @countrygirl.
HA! I wish we could just homestead and get by. Perhaps in the future if God is willing.

Thanks @virtualgrowth!
Nice one! Upvote
Thanks!
Thanks for the shout out about my contest!
Yeah, I would love to declare someone the winner this Friday for my contest with a steem reward but since steem is rising I am just as happy to declare myself the winner by default since there have been no contest entries yet ^_^
I've got an entry.... when is the deadline?
I've got experience winning contests with no competition!
This Friday, so actually there is quite a few days before the deadline. I am just saying that since there is three prizes to be won, unless three people enter the competition I am going to be one of the winners by default ^_^
Haha yeah you do actually, really big prizes too.
I'll do a promo post with my entry then and taunt the public for you with all the STEEM that you and I will be winning!
I dig your style dude
Thanks, now if only I could play a guitar like some people...
Great Idea, Seems like your among the few trying to encourage participation, that also might be why your doing so great here on SteemIt. I always love reading your posts.
I do ENCOURAGE, that's for sure.
What people do with that encouragement is up to them....
I think I will use that encouragement to encourage others as I can.
That's awesome, papa! Great way to pay it foward :)
You get two thumbs up from me
Thanks! - I think it's a great way to bless others without being a whale.
Well, you are #630 on the richlist and just over 1/4 the way there to being an orca, my friend! Keep up the great work. <3
Way to go, me!
Couldn't have done it without you!
