🏆 The Villan's Comps - Adopt a Minnow for a Month - V3

in #steemit6 years ago

☠️ What the Heck are You on About? ☠️

Each month I will run this competition, and one lucky person will be adopted for one month.
Upon adoption, I will support you for the month by up voting your posts. I will also be here to answer any questions you may have about Steemit.

I will also continue to support my minnows beyond this one month period, and up vote any posts which I find in my feed that I enjoyed.

  • Note: The adoption period may span longer that one month depending on how many posts per week my current minnow is posting. The next comp will not be released until I have finished up voting my adopted minnow.

You Trippn Balls, Why do This?

Well I remember when I was first starting out on Steemit. It can be difficult to find support.
I was very lucky to receive a delegation of 500 steem power from @mattclarke and really appreciate how much it has helped me. When I got the 500 steem power delegation it was like he said here invest 3 grand for a year.
I really appreciated this(thanks bud) and this is what motivates me to help others. Plus it's in my nature ;)

This competition is for the greater good of our community. I would like to do my bit to help steemit grow as I do see some problems with steemit and user retention is one of them. So if I can help motivate a minnow I'll do it :)

☠️ So What's in it For Me? ☠️

Well to start of I will follow everyone who is eligible to enter. So you have a change for me to up vote your posts in my feed :)

First Prize

☣️ My minnow for the month will initially receive 50% of this posts SBD payout, to mark the opening ceremony.
☣️ Regular up votes throughout the month to the value of 28 x 100%.
☣️ Ongoing future support once my minnow is set free = $$$ the sky is the limit as time goes on this is sure to be huge :)
☣️ For the closing ceremony, I will write a post about my minnow and what I have learned about them. 50% of the SBD generated from that post will go to my minnow as a departure gift.

Runner up 2nd and 3rd

☣️ Runner up 2nd and 3rd place will receive up votes at 50% for 1 week or equivalent. 7 x 50% up votes.
☣️ I will also transfer 0.100 SBD as constellation prize.

All other entrants

☣️ I will send the first 17 entrants after 3 place 0.100 SBD as a constellation prize. I will take note of order of entries and will limit this to 17 as well because if 100 people enter i'll be broke lol. I feel it is good to reward people for taking the time to support this initiative.

☠️ Fo Sho, I'm Down - How Do I Enter? ☠️

☣️ Entry is really simple.
☣️ You must be level 45 or below reputation score
☣️ Upvote and re-steem this post
☣️ Follow Me
☣️ Add a comment with why you should be chosen

How the Heck do you Pick You Minnows?

On the day of post payout, I will pick a couple of entries for people I really like. Then I will write those names down on some pieces of paper and draw them from my hat(recorded with gopro).

Going from my previous comps, it is really difficult to pick a winner as there are some great entries. So the hat works well.

☠️ Where Dat Fine Print At? ☠️

☣️ So each day I will up vote 2 posts at 50% up vote, which is about $0.10 or 1 vote at 100% if only one post.

☣️ If you don't post for a few days, I take note of that and will continue to up vote past the month until the missed days are made up for. (Straight up)

☣️ These posts are guaranteed to be up voted, as I will visit your blog each day.

☣️ Any additional posts I see in my feed will be up voted, with a decreasing up vote % per post as I also need to spare up votes for other people on here I support.

☣️ If your posting something every 5 mins, trying to get rewards I most likely won't up vote them and may even cancel the adoption due to spamming my feed.

☣️ Your posts must fall within Steemit user guidelines, and be good content. Photos with a description, credit others when their stuff is used and so fourth.

☣️ If your posting bad content, spamming, abusing people or doing anything frowned upon by the community I reserve the right to un-follow you and stop supporting you. In which case a new competition will be run to find a new minnow.

☣️ I may change the rules as the competition evolves, but what's written in this post is set in stone.

Thanks for the support bud, this is really good of you to do. Already giving back to the community what a great bloke :)
Thanks for the great write up, pity my slider only goes to 100% lol

It’s the least I can do my friend. You have inspired me.

Keep up the good work m8. Helping others always is a blessing for them and it will always return back to you. Yes, even tho you are not looking for a return, it still will happen. Good karma.

I've been travelling but will be back soo and then be able to post some more on Steemit. Cheers.

Thanks m8 :)
The real benefit is knowing I will help grow steemit. I'm happy with that.

Will be nice to see a few posts from you again so I can chuck you a few up votes for a change lol

Congratulations this entry is valid, good luck.
You already had me as a follower and I just upvoted your last 3 posts at 20% :)

Thanks for offering this opportunity, @thevillan

Sounds good, thanks for doing this. I would like to enter, but I'm a plankton with a 51 rep. I guess I'm just an oddball. :-) I am sure you will make someone really happy.

Awesome initiative, @thevillan.
There can never be enough people who are wiling to help out the little guys.

Thanks @bashadow for the shoutout. @newbiegames is on it! :0)

Thanks @simplymike I completely agree :)

Engagement and retention...Uhmm...AWESOME!

This is exactly what Steemit and Steem in general needs. People looking out for those just swimming through the brand new blockchain estuary all cute, wide-eyed and perfect candidates to be sharkbait...

Thanks for the contest, never before have I been so envious of being in another mans hat...I trust that sounded exactly as weird as I imagined as I read it back, right?

Given the opportunity to succeed, to thrive I believe most of us would or indeed will. This is more of an invaluable initiative than even you yourself, probably believe. How could you possibly see the new-found confidence in the mind and spirit of another? How could you understand just how much more accomplished they feel by being taken under the tutelage of another?

Ah! But now I think about it, you just might get it...You are the embodiment of @mattclarke and his generosity of spirit, paying it forward as they say, this spirit is responsible also for @father2b giving the winner of this contest 2 SBI shares from himself.

I can imagine it now...A genealogy of responsible, encouraging, nurturing Steemians. Each in turn doing his part for the encouragement, the absolute betterment of another. The ever expanding ripples of awesomeness impacting a previously incomprehensible number. (Tell me when I start to ramble, right?) :D

Quite something to behold, right there!

You sir...Quite categorically ROCK!

A message to any new folks reading this and maybe thinking of entering the contest...Do it! Don't over-think it...Just bloody do it...

Hey Thanks, yep you get it alright.
I did not expect this from @father2b but I guess this is another benefit of generosity. It rubs off on people and helps to create a better community.

The time, effort and support has been well worth it :)

Congratulations this entry is valid, good luck.
You earned me as a follower and I just upvoted your last post at 20% :) I will give you 2 more 20%ers when you post.

I hope you do not mind @thevillan, but I just had to call in the newbieresteemday games promoter. They are a group that like you, tries to give new users a leg up on steemit.

@newbiegames here is one that needs to be resteemed.

Thanks for the support I really appreciate it :)
