We got our first entry via email from @plushzilla which I will post below. I'll make sure to remind the judges of this as well when it comes time to vote for this round.
Not sure how the email entries work compared to writing Steemit posts (so I am just giving it a go this week).
I thought about how we can find more players for IFC, and this is what I have found/came up with:
Spunkee Monkey - this is an initiative created by @dreemsteem that is encouraging children to do something similar to what we are doing with IFC so I think there is an opportunity to collaborate with them:

State of Steem (SoS) posts - @pennsif wrote a post about some of the contests running on Steemit and we should definitely be adding IFC to the list:

Participate in other competitions/contests - I know that there are people who play IFC that also hosts other contests (@bengy being one of them), and there are also other contests like the iTalent contest that stopped last month because the organiser is too busy so we can try to pick up their players/delegation (@ivan.atman) for the IFC instead. I think if we can try and help/support one group then they will probably also reciprocate and bolster our numbers, especially since many other groups have dropped out
Not sure that this is enough for a post, but I figured that at least it will help me to get back into the swing of things :)
Thanks
@contestkings also have a Discord and white list for no upvote no resteem required contests
Cool. I'm not totally sure what the white list thingy means, but I'll have to check them out! Thanks.
It is just dropping into Discord and asking them to check out the contest announcement. To see that there is no obligatory upvote resteem or follow.
I checked it out and it looks promising and something I may want to do in the future, however right now it looks like they are still really small and not getting many eyes on their posts and I'm extremely overworked and not sure it's wise to add another job onto my weekly list of things to do for them since they don't seem to have very much of an audience yet.. Though in the future if they start picking up more steam I'd be happy to go through the motions and get our contest listed on their list! Thanks for the suggestion and lemme know if you think I'm wrong and that I should try to sign up with them anyways? Do you think they have a big enough audience to justify it? I went to numerous of their pages and saw like zero comments from people who weren't part of their group.
I'm going to be responding to the email entries both via email and copy pasting my responses here on steem as well. Below is my response to plushzilla.
Responding to your round 4 entry.. Would love to work with Spunkee Monkey, however our IFC game is an 18+ adult game so I'm not sure how we could work with children.. Maybe we could someday have an offshoot just for kids? That would be cool! However I'm not sure we're popular enough yet or well funded enough yet for that.
Will look closer into the pennsif post about contests and also the iTalent thing. I'm not sure if there is a way we can work with them or not, however.. I do want to work with others when we can and it's reasonable to do so! Those sound like some potentially promising options.
Also.. It would be cool to collaborate on contest stuff, I remember in the past we had talked about doing a thing where IFC people could play against other communities and I still love that idea! Though things have been so slow on steem recently I'm not sure now is the right time for that. Still definitely a good idea though! And I bet if we were able to work with other communities that some would take interest in ours and join us. :)
Some great ideas there! Thanks Plush!!
