Contest Time

First off, this is a community contest. We want as many idea's as you can throw at us, we want every member of the #steemsilvergold group tag to take part in this 1 way are another (not mandatory) but we are needing lots of feedback.

@ssg-community has been going to just over 6 weeks and we are entering our 2nd month, click this to see May's early bird special with a discount. We have a nickname for the bot, a backstory sorted for her, a logo picked and being fine tuned and we thought, what are we missing? What could we do as a community activity that would be fun?

Oh yeah, stackitis song. Our lady mermaid upvoting bot sings her seductive. inviting and captivating stackitis song to draw in pirate ships and get their plunder of silver and gold. Where did you think the money comes from to get your daily upvote? However, none of us have ever heard this song so i think we need to get together as a group and get this here done. Who's up for it?

What we are thinking

To make this work best, it will easiest to do a cover song. Youtube is a wonderful place with karaoke versions of almost any song you can think of. This helps when building the picture in your head. You can pick anything you want, does not matter what it is as long as you can change the lyrics to be related to silver, gold, precious, steemsilvergold, mermaid, plunder, you get the idea. Try to make it relatable to the topic at hand. Here is the backstory of Precious to give you an idea. Below, i have threw together a very quick sample using The gambler by Kenny Rodgers.

The Stacker

You got to know what to stack
Know when to stack it,
Know what’s its really worth
And know when to flip
You never count your Oz’s
When you're sittin' on the sea floor.
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the plunder is stashed away

I know, i know its genius and i have turned away sony records already so dont bother EMI, i know your reading im not interested. You get the idea folks, i actually did the whole song but im using it as my entry so there is more to come. One thing that must be made clear is that, only members of the #steemsilvergold group tag can enter and take part in this.

For the winner and how it works

There is no winner, its a group activity based on contest entries but we can all have a steemy orgy when it's done. There will be a few voting rounds to dwindle down the section of songs until we are down to a final one giving chances for edits between each voting round. We will run entries for the next 2 weeks and then begin the dwindling process. Entries should use the logo for Precious and the #steemsilvergold tag as first tag to make it easier for me to find the them and add them to the table at the bottom of the post.


When i say dwindling, i mean voting down in this manner and giving chance's to make changes and edit lyrics during the whole process. The hope is this will result in a finished product as the final standing stackitis song. Assuming edits are done the winning song will have a few contributors hence the group effort. And im also hoping for more than 16 entries, we have 190 members, its fun, easy and you can do it in a few minutes. We will have something wonderful to play with
