Good Evening Steemians!
Well, it didn't take long, we are only 5 days into the new year and I already missed a day. Oh well. Life happens, and as much as I would like to sometimes, I can't be on Steemit all day, every day. But, as for right now, I am on Steemit, so lets learn some things and give out some rewards, shall we?
The goal of the "Learn Something New Every Day Contest"!
This project has been mulling around in my head for quite some time, and I finally had that EUREKA!!! moment right around Christmas. I decided to wait until New Years to unveil it, and the community response has been FANTASTIC! Since the original idea was to honor my Uncle's Memory by trying to "learn at least two new things every day", I think we are off to a pretty damn good start! Even already having missed a day, you guys have given me far more than two facts a day, and I think that makes up for the one day that I missed! Plus I have gotten to meet more great Steemians, and give out more rewards! Who else is loving this price spike?!Contest Day 3
Above is a link to the previous contest. Here I am going to talk a little about my favorite entries!
Okay, so I had one entry that was definitely my favorite. But that is because I am a video game nerd, and the chance to reward someone for talking to me about video games? No brainer. Actually, @tj5553 did teach me a few things about the company "Nintendo" that I did not know. I do know a pretty decent amount about Nintendo as a Video Game company, and I knew that the company originally was a company that sold hand made "Hanafuda Cards" (those are Japanese playing cards), but there was a lot of the middle part of the company's history that I was unaware of. Thank you @tj5553 for teaching me something about a company that I am a really big fan of!There were several other really good entries as well, but I don't want to drag this post on forever. You should just click that shiny green link to the previous contest post and scroll down to the comments section and have a look for yourselves! The post, and the entries are all still well within payout. Maybe you can reward someone with an Upvote for teaching you something new, as well!
Rules for participation.
Tell me Something I Don't Know.
Leave me a meaningful comment below with a random bit of trivia knowledge (if you don't know what a meaningful comment is, make sure you read the post by @ogochuckwu linked at the bottom of this post). It doesn't have to be the most fantastic bit of knowledge, it just has to be true. If you post something really hard to believe, I may ask you to cite your source or link me to something that backs up your bit of info. If you cannot provide me with SOMETHING (a webpage, a news report, ANYTHING) to back up you claim I will not consider it a valid entry and I will not Upvote your entry. If you say something like "One thousand years ago, homo sapiens were an average of 12 feet tall. My teacher in third grade taught me that", I am probably not going to believe you. Like I said, it just has to be true (and somewhat verifiable).All entrants will get a small Upvote for participating, (One Entry Per Person Per Day!!!) and my top three favorite will receive a 100% Upvote, a 75% Upvote and a 50% Upvote for teaching me something new that day.
Replies need to be in English or translated to English (If I can't read it, I can't judge it). You have about twenty three hours (give or take an hour depending on what time I get online that day) to make submissions to this post, at which time I will give out rewards and post the new Day's contest. Be sure to check the comments and support the other entrants. I highly encourage engagement in the comments section, and the vast majority of my Upvote power is used on comments. Earning rewards just for talking to each other is my favorite part of the platform, and I highly recommend Upvoting each others entries in the replies to this post! If the first three comments have Upvotes from me (the first one will be about a dollar), then I have already given out prizes for this contest, but the next one will be out shortly!
You must Upvote this post to be considered a "valid entry". This is not because I want the rewards from your vote. This is because I rent delegated Steempower to provide larger Upvotes as prizes to my contests, and your Upvote on this post helps me pay for that delegation, and spread more rewards to more users!
As always, thanks for taking the time to read my post!
