STEEM QUEST #1 | Slay the Cave-troll
This quest is not for the faint of heart and will require much strength (steem power) and mana (voting power) to persevere. One with low armor (reputation) can easily be trapped in the Halls of Silence if they're not careful.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Counteract cave-troll 100%
- Eliminate all strength bonuses (rewards)
- Prevent armor increase (reputation)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: Bring cave-troll armor down to 60
Quest Description
Honorary stewards of Gondor and members of the congregation,
As all of you may know, we have a cave-troll in our midst.
Every hallway in our kingdom reeks of its feces.
Joyfully it defecates at least 10 times a day.
Into our very nostrils its stench reaches.
Nourishing itself with its own excrement.
I stand my ground firm beside you.
Shouting to the heavens that God delivers us.
A growing and troubling threat we have by the hour.
Now is when we must fight.
Are you ready for battle?
Should I blow the trumpet?
Shelter yourself O ye troll for thy flags cometh like a thief in the night.
Hold on to these words for they shall surely come to pass.
Overdue is your reward.
Low quality are your words.
Embrace your demise.
Terms of Duration
This quest can go on indefinitely. Only a radical change by the cave-troll can bring it to early completion.
Due to the difficulty of this quest I will unfortunately need to suspend the SOG program. I will reinstate the stewardship program once this quest is completed. You have full reign to do as you wish with your delegated steem until I retract it in 24hrs.
Although new, I see the abuse. A person has to be blind not to see it. I've seen forms of combatant by others with good intentions, but their method, in my opinion, is perceived as adding to the reward abuse. Intentions may be there, but the actions taken may not be best delivered. It is very heartening to see someone with rank and power take action and join in the cause.
I personally am not up there in ranks for the issue to directly impact me, but I've seen the blatant abuse in action. It was a fundraising post for someone who fell on hard times and needed a new laptop. Everyone helped with what they could, and pennies do add up. I contributed my penny worth and it brightened my heart knowing there are people on here helping others in need.
To my dismay, I saw the fundraising post flagged when it was close to payout. Flagged not because of the message, but flagged simply because the person who made the post was not favored by the flagger. I don't understand how anyone could flag a fundraising post of all things and I don't support these type of people in the community.
My best wishes to you.
Is this what happened? Can you send the post? I will add my tiny upvote to it.
It was some months back @bengy and only one of the abuse I’ve witnessed. I do believe the person received the laptop with others helping later. Very sweet of you to want to help though. We can support in other ways now to ensure abuse like this is not prevalent.
@originalsimulant, if ever there is a time to upvote (the post) & resteem, here it is!
It does sound like quite an adventure, however this kind of thing (whatever kind of thing it is) is pretty far outside my wheelhouse. I don’t even know who it’s supposed to be, or what they’re even supposed to have done. I’m not really the posse/vigilante type; and I’m certainly not one for lynch mobs. I’m not saying that’s what this is, but again, how should I know? I don’t even know who it is.
I figured I would take the opportunity to check on our deal. :)
No, of course you should only support if you know the story. No lynch mobs here! Just a gathering of support for change. Your meme said it perfectly, and is exactly what this group of Steemians are trying to achieve.

ah! The illuminati!
You show the all seeing "G"!
hahaha!
I see you have been honing your photoshop skills whilst planning this quest!
It has been an honor to serve with your Steem Power.
Asher, glad to see you are up on this (I should've known)... You can take back the SP you gave to me with no worries... I fully support what he is doing and I know you want to help him (as I do too)... We are here for the long run and this battle is one that needs fought. We have all been talking about it, and he is doing more than talking! Bravo!!!
ps.. I will now expect bigger stickers when you like something (they are more fun than upvotes anyways) ;)
We have cross-posted again, the joys of over-engaging!?
The SP I have out on loan will be staying where it is to continue the support of our newer members while war is underway.
I don't have any bigger stickers at present so i'm afraid you'll have to get an up-vote instead sir!
haha.. that is funny!!! I will take it for today but you should go sticker shopping over the weekend!!! :)
And yes I agree its joyful to over-engage, it gives me a chance to hear your good messages twice!!! lol
Thanks again and we got the newbies, no worries ;)
I have 21 SP. I will support you guys from the trenches in spirit. I'd pray for you if I had a deity to prey to. Oh, bless ye warriors. My hope remains for you to succeed.
very good Sharon, I'm with you... We may not have SP but we have our voices and spirit to support this worthy cause!
so me!! this is gonna be good.
Bahahhaha I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! We must protect this awesome community at all costs from those who do not care about it. It is an honor to be a part of this. Is this not why we are here, to break cruelty's stranglehold on this world, to lay down our lives

Bahahaha your post is awesome! It may be a very long quest dude!
an epic journey you go on o brave @fulltimegeek. i wish you strength as your perilous quest may take you into dungeons of despair & darkness. may he who shitteth be abolished from our ranks.. may he who doth not upvoteth others & of the reward pool over-taketh be vanquished and banished from the bright paradisio that is our homeland, steemith. i wish thee power & that thy sword the enemy thou might overcome !
He. Who. Shitteth. Hee hee hee hee hee hee
As you try to bring light into the dark places and expose the trolls for what they are may I make a suggestion on how maybe some of us minnows can lend a hand.
There are many that don't have the power to be effective attackers in the hunt and at best would be sacrificial lambs led to the slaughter, but would love to be lending a hand.
There are plenty of us with small upvotes that can't dare take on a large troll, but put us together as your grunts to keep rearming you and our force is strong.
How about a daily report of activity that we can then upvote to help counter the downvotes you will likely receive. This will also help power you up even further and when your quest is finished allow you to have a larger amount to pass to your stewards.
It will also serve to force the trolls to counterattack and use some of their strength in an attempt to do harm to you. Every bit of strength used in this effort helps weaken their defenses.
Now onto the battle field you march, bring peace and harmony back to
middle earthsteemit!Side not this post is the only other post you can currently vote on to add to the power @fulltimegeek will have for this quest. It also is nearest payout so the extra fire power will be usable sooner.
Count me in if you organize such a thing... I'm all about helping with this cause. You seem to know more about how we can help, but I can deliver others to help you have a desired effect!
Hey, GTB! Need a lift?
Oh my!!!
Down into the trenches he goes...
Where he finds the cave troll only he knows...
Taking his flags as he ventures...
Careful to extinguish the quenchers...
Oh low and behold...
Away he goes...
Fulltimegeek....
Seeking out the meek
It has been an honor to be a SOG and I say, young man, Onward and Upward slay the beast...umm, cave troll
We may have to adjust our plans @goldendawne, but that just means we have to get more creative! ;)
And it figures that you would beat me to the punch here, you are everywhere!!! lol :D
