It's time for a contest.
In honor of a Founder Starter Kit hoarder, @killau, who just purchased 90 PsyberX Founder Starter Kits...

I'm holding a contest that will be both fun and VERY rewarding...
What's at stake?
1st Place: 25,000 LVL (at time of writing, that's nearly 75 Hive)
2nd Place: 12,500 LVL (you do the math)
3rd Place: 5,000 LVL
I haven't decided if I will have honorable mentions, but if you check out my last contests, you'll see I gave LVL to everyone who participated...no guarantees, but it may be worth your trouble...
I'm a whale
I suggest whoever wins the contest that you keep the prize rather than sell it...It's not financial advice...but remember there being a pizza sale some years ago?
I'm not telling you what to do or hinting at anything. Once I award it to you, it's yours. I invite the #inkwell and other fiction writing communities to participate...now...what does the winner need to do?
Contest
- You'll need to finish the story I start below. Feel free to cut and paste my start into your post so that your story makes sense.
- You'll need to incorporate no fewer than 4 of your Hive buddies into the storyline. This means you'll need to tag them within the story, like this: "Then @bobthebuilder2 came around the corner..." or something similar. If you do tag me, which I think is a good idea, I do not count as one of the 4, even though I'm your bestie!
- No plagiarism, so cite your image sources, and no NSFW. I have the filter turned on to block that content.
- Put the link to your entry in the comments below and tag your post with #psyberxorigin or it will not qualify.
- Entries need to be in by 3/15/2022 5pm. This is 2 weeks. I want there to be plenty of time for people who are tagged to also be able to enter the contest.
I think that's it. I reserve the right to update the rules in case something nutso crazy happens and I have to add another one because somebody is a really bad person.
Here's the story you need to add upon:
We've been living in this house for a few years. Nothing would have really prepared me for what was about to happen. Sure, they told us that if a disaster ever hit that we'd just have to hide in our basement and put on gas masks...that everything would blow over quickly. That's not exactly how it happenend.
I was sweeping the floor in my kitchen, occasionally glancing out the kitchen window to catch glimpses of the green hillsides and to enjoy the singing of the birds nearby. With a ponytail and whispies falling at my cheeks, my three little children were playing in the living room. It was at this moment, while I was leaning against my broom with a sun-splashed warmth coating my dress and apron, that I saw a flash of light. Almost immediately there was a plume of green and purple smoke shooting up with an orange tinged halo near the origin of the flash.
"TO THE BASEMENT!!! NOW!!!"
Here's some background information that may help you get inspiration on where it should go from here:
This story takes place approx. 20 years before this video begins:
Somehow, life went from peaceful to life found in that video...your job is to make it happen.
Your story/version of the story may be used in official story-telling with @psyberx. I've been writing posts for them for a while now. By entering this contest, you agree to be inspiration for our storytelling and your only reward will be the payout from your post or contest winnings if granted. I don't give financial advice, because mine is always-give all your money to me...it's good as gone.
Finally, follows, upvotes, callouts, etc. are welcome but not required. I take them as a tip and a sign of appreciation, not as a bribe...afterall, I'm giving away over 100 Hive's worth of LVL...
What a great contest! Thinking cap engaged - let the name dropping begin!
You're implying that I actually have four friends. Big assumption. lol This kinda thing is right up my alley although I have to be in the right mood. Hopefully it will strike me at some point in the next couple weeks. Should be fun.
You could always pick a random post, find the first people who upvote it, and use their names... what a shock that would be... lol gives me an idea for the next contest lol
Ha! That would be funny. I managed to scrape together four people I don't think will be too offended. lol They kinda actually fit their roles... :-)
Lol.. why does it feel like we ve started playing the game already.. Lol and it is play to earn.
It's fun, isn't it?! !lolz

All you could hear around there was “guac, guac, guac, guac.”

Are we allowed more than one entry? I have a couple of ideas on where to take this :) ...
Sure! I love the idea of several stories...Choose your own adventure books were the only ones I would really read as a kid...
Maybe that would work for the game too? Choose Your Timeline?
!PIZZA
Just finished my story here.
Lots of fun. Hope you enjoy it. :-)
Thanks Bob. I had some fun with this and included my talented and creative writing daughter to help.
Here is my PsyberX Origin story.

Hivebits blends Hive's blockchain and Bitcoin's ethos. Your effort = your reward. Mine HBIT simply with ! hivebits (no space), 1-per-day.
Success! You just mined .9 HBIT and the user you replied to received .1 HBIT on your behalf. You can receive 100% of the HBIT by replying to one of your own posts or comments. Or, support Hivebits at official HBIT mine | your wallet | market | tools | connect | <><
Confirmation replies are currently on, but they'll go off when Resource Credits (RCs) get low. Your hivebits command will still go through and you'll get your HBIT.
Interesting contest, I'll be submitting my entry very soon 😋
Looking forward to it!
Hey, such a great idea and contest you are hosting! I am definitely going to participate! Keep up your great content! :)
