Celebrating a small milestone, 2000 followers! - Giving away some SBD

in #giveaway7 years ago

I've woken up to find my follower count exceeding 2000 and I figured today is a good day to celebrate this little journey of mine. Because I just don't to do the run of the mill "OMG THANK YOU" style celebration I'm going to attempt to make this into a game and give back a little to everyone that follows the crazy ramblings I write.



I won't bore you much with too many thank yous, because I realize these things get a little too corny for everyone's taste, but what I will say is that I deeply appreciate everyone who stops by this blog to leave comments, even when they are not about agreeing with my points of view.


From the heart... A big thank you


Now with that out of the way... whats this SBD giveaway thing about

I figured we could play a fun game, one that It's not up to me. Those are the best kind of games in my opinion. I'm going to be giving away 5 SBD total, 3 of them to the winner and 1 to the second and third place. What is the game about? Well... I'm glad you asked my friend.

All you have to do to win, is to draw a unicorn riding a bycicle and share it with me in the comments. Yes, that's it... but wait, there is a catch to this whole thing, you can't just do a google search and slap a picture that does not belong to you and expect to win some SBD... I will check, and if someone tries to cheat, I will flag and I'm not even kidding.

Steps to follow are quite simple:

  • Grab a piece of paper (color is not important)
  • Pen, Pencil, colors no colors up to you
  • Draw a unicorn riding his bike
  • Share it in the comment section below (snap a picture with your cellphone)
  • Extra points if you give your unicorn a name.

And that's it... very simple to do my friends.

Who wins? The comment/unicorn that gets the most upvotes. So once you've shared your work of art with me, you could ask some close friends for some help or you could let your artwork speak for you, your choice.

Let the game begin!!!!!!

I'm impressed Omi!!! good stuff... for some reason this Unicorn reminds me of @crimsonclad

Thanks. Maybe she'll like it lol

hahahaha Omiiiii...this one is hilarious!

I thought so too. It's thinking, "Whateverrrrrrrrrrr!" Lol

Hey!! where is your unicorn?

I literally have the drawing skills of a 4 year old @meno .. skipping on this onr and leaving it for the actual artistic people hehe

ohhh but you have not been paying attention... look at some of the unicorns in here... granted @omitaylor's is pretty awesome but some are just hilarious...

I say you enter...

Tharr I couldn't help but play with it a bit...

perty Zippy... me likes a lot... the old style bicyclette is quite fitting i have to say...

This is adorable. So how do you do single line? You just put down le pen and not lift it until done?

This is mine , he likes stunt biking

^^^ What I actually look like during the week. Lol

Hahahaha me too xD

listo allí está el unicornio en la bicicleta de tipo

jajajjajaj esta buenisimo!!

Probably the worst one you'll see...

I like it a lot because its happy!! happy is good... and also #alienlivesmatter too...

  • Nathan’s Unicorn chipmunk bike borg (because the unicorn needed to have wheels for hind legs!) &
  • Zimra’s Oonikawn

Wait til the end to see the result, but don't miss the chipmunk Nick Cave tune!!! hehehe

Hahahahahahahaha , she's adorable! She really got excited after finishing her painting haha. :P she also wanted to help you with your painting so badly! Hahaha lovely video. :3

She loves painting. And for a 2 year old has great dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
<3

hahahhahahahah she is too precious!!!

Incredibly precious and a real little character!

Well I have a double entry combo of me and my daughter, Emma... hers is so much better. But it was so much fun to sit and draw with her and laugh at how silly they looked. ♥ Congrats, Meno. So happy for you. Thank you for your big heart and giving back to people. ♥

This is Skippy, made by my sweet Emma.. she's 12. She is not allowed on steemit, but I showed her all of the unicorn pictures in these comments and she loved all of them! She says hello to everyone! ♥

And this is from me. Please don't ask how this bicycle is supposed to actually function. All I can say is that the seat is meant for a stomach, and Helpie the Kitty tells Whiskers how to drive. Going uphill is not their favorite thing, but they carry on anyway. It is the way of the unicorn. And of the cat. Cats are better than unicorns, but please don't tell the unicorns.

I love them!!!!! the kitty is awesome too!!! Emma is very talented, I'm impressed.... she beat you!

This contest made me show my more childish and artistic side, haha

Haha, I was a bout not to post it, but I spent about 1 hour making it.

Her name is Nerea, she's a one-legged unicorn (not to say I forgot to draw the another leg). She's joining the Steemit world while riding her bike!

hahahahah I love it... one leg it is!!

xD thanks! just having fun

It's cute :3

And your drawing? ;)

Hehe, my drawings are bad but I'll give it a try :)

Hope you win. Here’s my upvote. Goodluck.

Hello @Meno 👋
Here is my entry to your contest, celebrating milestone 2000 fans of your profile. Congratulations, and I hope that you gonna go further, followed the same succesful way 😊🔝🆙
I don't know why, but I came up with the idea of drawing a unicorn on a unicycle (a one-wheeled bike) - maybe it's a matter of name similarity. I hope you will approve it as a kind of bicycle 🦄🚲🌈 😉👍 #UnicornOnUnicycle

Unicorn from the drawing is called Daydream and I think that's what it is. A pleasant tought or hope and imagined fantasy ✨🦄🌈❤ #Fabulous

I hope you gonna like my work! 👍 Cheers! 😍😍

very nice!! i like it a lot!

Thank you @Meno for your positive feedback! That's very nice of you! 😊

I happen to own a unicorn pen that I used to draw this so I went with a multi-platform piece of 3D art. This is Derek Damien Davidson, the 3D Unicorn.

hahahahhahahahahahahaha DDD now you are speaking my language!!

Well done mate on your milestone and continue the good work you're accomplishing and also the effort and hours you put in day in and day out encouraging and promoting steemit and those having a go.

YES. I think we can conquer that I cant draw. Hey but with this celebration i have to have go for you.
My kids said who drew this when they saw it, and could tell that it was me with the simplified edition.

Awesome.... I love the little friend critters!!!

That is quite the milestone, indeed! Pretty innovative way to celebrate, too. 😉 I wonder if ‘2000’ will now become the ‘uni-cycle’ anniversary — you know...same as marriage years are marked by varying gifts? Leave it to MenO to start a new tradition! ⭐️

Proud to be following you, as much more than just a number on a list. You’re a leader in your own right — a decidedly honorable and inspiring one at that. 💜

Oh zippers!!! are you drawing a unicorn? we already got one entry!! its pretty solid I'd say

Congratz to the lucky winner at the end of the contest period.
Here’s my upvote.

Congratumalations Meno, I'm lucky to be one of your many followers. I don't draw though <3 Maybe I will try just for you, perhaps, we'll seeeee...

<3 My dear Amy... I would love to see you draw something... maybe you can enlist the help of your little ones, that would be amazing!

You read my mind! We gonna draw it up today. Going to give it full force enthusiasm <3

Well i think a congratz are in order. 😀
🙌🙌🙌.

Where is your unicorn? <3

Oh hes out.. Probably playing checkers with the neighbors dog. :D
He isnt one for portraits. haha

Congrats on reaching this milestone! Good luck on your unicorn contest, unfortunately my unicorn has decided to not sit still long enough for me to draw her and has gone outside to play. Maybe next time!
Ivy

Oh no!!! thats a low quality unicorn you got there... you should take it back and swap it out...

Hahaha! I think she has just picked up some of my sass over the years. Unicorns can be such fickle creatures but they are loveable so it makes up for it. :)
Ivy

Okay so congrats. I didn't write it in my unicorn entry. That's really impressive to have so many followers. And it seems like they're all very engaging. I hope one day I can be so lucky. ♥️

You are kicking butt Omi... you will grow very quickly.. you'll be at 2000 in no time

Thank you ♥️

Please Stop - @najninshemu

You just said "beautiful post" and in your your last 100 comments you used 36 phrases considered to be spam and you made this exact same comment 1 times. You've received 0 flags and you may see more on comments like these. These comments are the reason why your Steem Sincerity API classification scores are Spam: 52.80% and Bot: 2.30%

Please stop making comments like this and read the ways to avoid @pleasestop and earn the support of the community.

I don't think this bot should speak on behalf of "the community" @pleasestop @najaninshemu that is a highly misleading statement and a lie. Your bot is a LIAR.

I feel that this bot is spamming and using excessive bandwidth. Statements of Affirmation are valid expressions of love. Not everyone here is American either, great at English, or akin to writing long paragraphs. Who made you god? Did you make yourself a Steem cop?

How about you remember that Steemit is not Steem and that your expectations will need to rapidly evolve as new dapps are created.

Education and transparency might be helpful but representation and reprimanding is not. You simply do not have the jurisdiction, and are out of bounds, over-reaching, overstepping, and pushy.

Passive aggression is still aggression.

A message like the following would be less offensive:

You just said "beautiful post" again and have 36 similar comments. You have not been flagged. These types of repetitive comments are the reason why your Steem Sincerity API classification scores are Spam: 52.80% and Bot: 2.30% @pleasestop is a bot here to help you improve your score by reminding you that users may interpret these kinds of comments as spam and flag you. We want your experience here to be better if you'll let us help you! Here you can read about how to improve your commenting which could help you gain more rewards from the community for awesome comments.

And how about a friendly avatar. You have no actual authority here and this bot give a false impression of authority. This is one single person's self-appointed self-righteous mission and I realize it's well-meaning but it undermines the core principals of liberty when one overreaches their liberty to impede on the liberty of others.

Hmph

😷

I took your feedback very seriously and turned it into a new post covering the points you're making, I hope you join the discussion. Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it.

This bot is even more annoying than the grammar bot.

I'm sorry you feel that way, I am working toward significantly reducing my own comments. I would hope that after getting to know me and learning how excessive comments impact bandwidth and harm the blockchain that you might instead turn your frustration toward those accounts abusing the blockchain.

I keep seeing you tell my actual friends (who are not spammers) that they're being spammy. It's rude, quite frankly, and also hypocritical as you are constantly posting the exact same comment to everyone. Maybe go flag yourself.

At least it's not upvoting itself like every other cop-bot lol

OOH, bot war! LOL
