Hey again peoples. I know we haven't finished the first season yet and I do still need a break, but.. I'm eager to start the second season of the IFC! I wanted to wait longer, and I'm probably still going to wait at least a month after this season ends to organize and rest. But.. I realize that.. It's good to keep a momentum going and would especially help with the marketplace which has been quite slow since things slowed down with our contest.

I already have figured out a lot of things in regards to next season including many of the quests. So.. A good amount of it is already ready and last season was totally new territory, so this shouldn't be as difficult this time! Hopefully annyways, heh.
I'm sure it can only get more organized as the first season was like our baby steps, takes a little while to figure certain things out! And.. I think it will be very interesting as we start to see new players and peoples come into our world, whether it's the game world or the Marketplace.
Plus we will have new relics, a new storyline and a new castle created by the players. It's going to be awesome I think. :D I'm super excited, also super excited to see who wins this season! We're so close!
Speaking of such.. We have almost all of the votes in for the championship round and we have enough judges right now, we have 10 judges I think. so we don't NEED more. But.. If anyone reads this and might be interested, I would still like more people to be guest judges and help. Let me know soon though! Within the next day or two. I can pay a few SBD/steem for your efforts as well.
Also I was recently reading a discussion about what some bigger names on the platform think steemit needs.. And.. I feel like our community addresses some of those things in a very helpful way.
So I think it's really important to not wait too long after this season ends, and get back at it and try to continue to make a name for ourselves, it could be very beneficial to us and the platform itself as well.
I had around 10 players during the season tell me things like.. "The IFC is how steemit should be" "I like the IFC more than steemit" "I probably would have quit steemit if it wasn't for the IFC".
That combined with what people are talking about in regards to a cryptocurrency needing to sort of be popular and used in real applicable tangible ways.. I really more and more think our community and marketplace and contest might have something really special here and I've talked before about wanting to pursue our own SMT or cryptocoin in the future and.. That is definitely still a goal! These are interesting times indeed.
I think the potential could be astronomical if we got the right kind of support.. So.. I don't wanna wait too long for the next season.. I wanna get back at it after a short rest and try to connect with more heroes and help work on growing this into.. Who knows what, I guess we'll find out in time, especially as the players themselves decide much of what happens in our world. :)
Oh.. Which reminds me! The All Star round has started and.. It's open to anyone who wants to play! The quest is to write a short story about the direction our IFC world is going in. Would love to have more people play in that also! There's a 15 steem first place prize and 15 XP plus a relic for next season. Will put a link to that round below.

Anyways.. I think that's enough for now. Expect the results for the championship round within the next few days and.. Talk to you later! :)

Good thoughts @apolymask. Totally agree on this:
Thanks for the feedback boladayl! Glad to hear you feel similar. :) Will be curious to see where this all goes!
Still following along. Just learning more about the ifc. This really is one of the most interesting projects I have seen on the platform. 👽
