Greetings friends!
And Thank You! All 1500 of you. My pal @owenwat sent me a mssg this morning alerting me to the fact that i have reached this amazing steemit milestone. I’m thrilled! I feel like a goddamned Superhero :)
To celebrate, i am giving away one 1oz 2017 Steem Silver Round AND i am raffling one off to benefit @steemsilverround -- and thus lower the cost of the 2018 -- the design of which is being voted on right now. That’s right, 2 ounces of the super-sweet-shiny are up for grabs!
Here’s how this one is going to work. To win a round, you must:
Upvote this post hard and comment something intelligible about, and provide the name of, my ship — by reference only!!! And no, not the ‘Jolly Blogger’ — the BIG one — But PLEASE do not actually name it...Savvy? For example: it almost rhymes with wing-nut.
thedamus/raffle. This way it’ll be easy to count up all the loot.Enter my raffle. It only costs 1sbd and all proceeds will be donated to @steemsilverround. You can enter as many times as you like. Just make sure you enter your name in the memo box and say raffle when you send thedamus 1sbd per chance. Like this:
Finish off this lyric: what’s this bruise? I will admit i’m a little confused, but i try not to let it ___. It’d be best if you just include the word nonchalantly somewhere in your comment without actually emphasizing it. Be clever and get creative — it’s fun and it will show me you are paying attention. Y’Arrr!
And that’s it! Whomever wins the raffle wins 1 round AND gets to choose one lucky Steemian from @thedamus’ followers list who will receive the other one. I will also provide world-wide shipping for both rounds. And depending how creative you are with your answer, you may get something extra as a booty bounty just ‘cause i’m a nice guy, and probably still a lil’ drunk from lastnight’s MetalsMafia podcast.
Last night was a blast! Thanks Pit! I look forward to hanging with you and your goodfellas and molls somewhere down the line...
Speaking of goodfellas and felines, i’d like to say hi (a la Marlon Brando) to “thuh famlee...”
And of course salutations to everybody’s favourite hot-bot “Stax”
Now there is one steamy steemian! Y’Arrrr, makes me wanna’ whip out my cutlass and chop a papaya in half!
May the luckiest SOaB win! Contest will run till payout, after which time i will run the numbers and announce the winner(s).
☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️Cheers! from @thedamus
This is cool as hell, thanks for doing this brother gonna send you a little donations. Please do not enter me in the raffle, pass it off to someone that doesn not habe a steem silver round. Last night was bad ass, Vegas here we come😎👊 and by the way you need to drive that ingot to the show.
You're in Mofo!!! -- like it or not -- if you win you can do whatever you want with it ;)

I've got to say I'm a bit bemused,
These cryptic pirate clues have me quite confused!
But many an ingot of Spanish gold,
Beneath the oceans lie, so I am told.
I have sent in my dues, 3 times to boot.
When payday arrives, you'll be sending my loot!!
So get on with the show, it better be dank
If I'm not impressed you'll be walking the plank!!
AAARRRRR!!!!!
Clever as fuck
Haha!! Glad you enjoyed it buddy!!
Very good! Well done!!!
This shanty o yours may just have to figure in one o the captains exploits!
I’ll be re-tally-hoing the list in my next post. Y’Arrr!
Haha!! Knock yourself out buddy :)
Congratulations, just one question?
Har har!!! Love it! Thx for great clip
Who doesn't love these steem rounds?!? The mafia guys are the best I'm hoping they can show me how to pore some nice silver ingot bars. ☠️
Classy!
Damus, no one will ever call you a scurvy cur! That is fo' show! Congrats on 1,500! This will probably be doubled in no time. I liked this post so much, I had to remove my auto vote, just to up it to a full on 100%!
Try not to tear up too much shit in Vegas with Ray and Mike. That town ain't ready for the 3 of you.
I really hope I win one of those sweet, sweet, Steem rounds. I am still without one. I also can't wait for the new one. I think SSG needs it own currency. Like it says on the back of a buck, it could say "InGot We Trust"!
I kinda of feel like writing more just to mess with anyone trying to decipher this to throw people off the scent of the answers. So the answer to # 1 is "give me the blues" and #2 is the "U.S.S. Arrrrrrrrrrrgh"!
Sweet action! Good luck man!!!
I will admit I’m a little confused but I never know the right words to choose! So I will send you 1 SBD and a bottle of Rum and a little gif just for some fun!!
Y’Arrr Harrr!
Ok. Apparently you pirate post ideas too,lol. I had taken a nice pic of a steem round to raffle off today! I'll wait till yours is over, and I'll leave the rounds to be won by new members, but just to get back at you, I'm sending you a bot vote!
Avast! I’ll pirate the wind from yee sails given a chance...
Thx E! But yer stll missing something from your comment. Come on daddy-o, show me the goods!
Arrghight. I believe the mighty ship be called ye ol' Volvo!
And the lyric, well. I'll try not to let it tamper me stack!
bah ha ha, totally wrong! but you're in anyway if i see sbd in my wallet...
Congratulations on 1500 bud im just watching the metals mafia live show from last night, chatting away watching vessel pour that nice silver ingot you were like an excited kid showing off his toys to his mates lol really cool. So you and Ray going to Vegas?! :)
Thanks buddy! It was a good time :)
And yep! Vegas Bound!
Go ahead and apply the raffle entries from yesterday to this for me 👍 should be 4 sbd
You got it Pit! And thanks! Lol, i got a lil gooned and forgot all about that bah ha ha!!!
You’re in for 4 spots. I’ll post an update either later today or tomo 🤪
Awesome. Was great having ya on the chat bro. Got to see a look at the inner workings of the @thedamas
@pit-bullion you have to make sure that you SPELL correctly otherwise the link won't work @thedamus
Cool post. I must be new because I don't totally understand the reference for the ship. But I'll happily enter your raffle!
No problemo, it’s just for laughs. I’ll probably make ammendments tomorrow so all ya gotta do is send me 1sbd per slot and include your name in memo. Cheers jr!
Sent over 1sbd. Interesting to see how everyone runs their raffles a little differently and with different objectives. Learning a lot here. Thanks!
Ok @thedamus. I have sent over my raffle entry fee, upvoted and Resteemed! Great job!
Thx JB!
I will provide updated list in my next post.
Cheers!
I am getting really excited to see what design we go with for the back of the new steemit round. I know @pit-bullion has been working on a ingot steem bar and I wonder if there will be a design on it. I imagine a ship with 3 masts and 8 cannons, shooting cannonballs across the ocean to sink another ship. Then again that may be a little difficult.
I’d love to see that...
I just sent you some sbd for the raffle. Thanks!
Cool! I’ll post a full list later this eve...
Cheers bud!

Another Cool Post from @thedamus . The giveaway is awesome. Very creative raffle. I'm almost to another milestone and I will probably throw an ingot or two of the shiny silver booty at a giveaway / contest.
Thx @goldkey! I just did an update. If i see sbd in my wallet from you i will update asap. Cheers bud!
@thedamus Now that is very Cool to give all the people that want to get a Steem Round a chance to get one.
Proud supporter of ssg right here!
😁
I ain got a ton of SBD, but I'll show you one of them so I can be entered in the raffle.
You’re in bro!
Thanks, captain.
First off, congrats on 1500! I am happy to be amongst the first 1500!
I've been AFK a few days but I've been meaning to look into this steemsilver stuff some more. Really cool that you're giving some coins away! Love the pirate persona too. I am not sure I know the history of your ships, so I'm gonna wing it. Feel free to fill me in later on:
After doing some deep thinking, I realized that since I've been wanting to scrap electronics so that I can collect the precious metals from them, I can maybe even learn how to pour myself a few homemade ingots.
Also researched how to make homemade molds (just use clay) and my city is built on clay. (Oh there's so much clay on the shores of Lake Superior) that I look forward to precious metal related projects this summer. I'll be on a hunt (much like a pirate).
I am terrible with music though, so I can't really amuse you there, but I can read between the lines. :D
Cool! I llok forward to seeing what you pour. Also, great tip re: clay. I wanna pour too!
Great post, giveaway and well done to hit 1500. Thats alot of mouth to feed dude.
Hence my diminished vp... just. can’t. not. upvote.
lmao,
I started out last month doing all my comments easy at 20%, now im losing VP at 10%. lol
You live to give :)
Good work,good post.
Wow nice metalsmafia
Upvote and resteem
Good post freinds
good pastries
Only the best pastries will do on a leprechaun
