Hey all! I am so stoked that so many of the amazing Steemians who I consider friends are on this list or involved in some way!! You all deserve every accolade, every positive thing! Congratulations!
I'm going to throw my vote in for @spl and @nicnas, as so many others have already done. @SPL (Steem Poker League) was my gateway into Steemit; the first place I found on Steemit where I felt welcome, the first place I made friends and started to understand the concept of a Steemit Community.
You may not be aware, however @spl is funded by the Steemit Community who vote on the blogs content. Payouts are generated by an algorithm called 'Proof of Brain' that encourages people to create and curate quality content... all while interacting and creating relationships - creating community - on Steemit.
@SPL has rather stringent rules on who may or may not play on www.lucksacks.com. Those rules include:
- Having a presence on Steemit; interacting, having valid blog posts, etc
- Earned a reputation above 30
- Verifiable Introduction post identifying you as a viable individual on Steemit
I truly feel like most of the Community in the @SPL love the interaction and the camaraderie we find there. I know that having more funding will help @spl continue to host the free tournaments that are currently available, as well as be able to grow and support the community that surrounds it.
As for @nicnas, he was the first friend I made on Steemit, and it was at the poker table. He is now one of my best friends; my partner and my confidant.
Since @nicnas joined Steemit, he has been involved in countless communities, from his early work with the Minnow Support Project, to the Buddhist Community, from @spl to @buildawhale as Chief Curator and finally as Co Founder of @ccasino, he helps everyone he comes into contact with with an open heart, kindness and humor.
I sincerely hope you will take a good look at my suggestions. I'm available to chat on Discord or on Steemit.chat as @bethalea.
Thank you all for this great idea to help counteract the spammy, vote-selling nonsense that has gotten way out of hand on Steemit. I'm excited for the positive change!
xo,

I agree wholeheartedly with @bethalea! The Steem Poker League is a great community with wonderful people. I've been playing poker my whole life and this community really stands out for it's comradery and dedication to the Steem blockchain.
Poker is a timeless game and one of the biggest with 100 million players worldwide, more people than play golf, billiards and tennis. It is a perfect match with the Steem blockchain and the potential is huge. It adds a lot of value for the Steemit community as well as great potential for attracting vast amounts of people.
Hey @reko! Thanks for the support, as always! You are one of the greatest Steemians I have met to date and I am so glad others recognize your great worth to this community!
And you're so right about poker, it's such a timeless, community based game, it's perfect for Steemit and Steem!
catch you soon, we're chatting if you are around!
xo! b.
I believe @bethalea is a good candidate. She could fit into any of the categories mentioned above and it very selfless. Second the SPL support.
thanks nic. i'll pay you that 100 sbd later ;)
@spl folks have certainly helped me learn how to be a better steemian. @bethalea your awesome also.
Best community possible
aw, thanks @potplucker! I agree about this community... I didn't even know how to be a Steemian before I got here, it was all so confusing and seemed kinda chaotic.
xo!
Supporting @spl is a no brainer! One of the many REAL communities out there. I don't even know where to Start, The only thing I could say that could match my feelings is that @spl is practically A second Home and have given people (including myself) a lot. We have a bunch of good lads and so many good steemians that if you ask me, I'd say they should be all on that list. @bethalea is a pure soul full of love and compassion, @nicnas is a big Enthusiast who never stops helping; They deserve to be there!
You're one of the greatest parts of our community, @jonsnow1983, I'm so happy we are such good friends!
xoxo ;)
@SPL is the first community I stumbled upon when I joined Steem, and I can tell you that what @Tuck-Fheman and @bigpchef have done in the last couple of months it is amazing. The amount of work, money and time they invested into this thing is just tremendous. They deserve all the delegations possible.
I agree. @Tuck-Fheman is a beast keeping http://www.lucksacks.com going. I have only scratched the surface of all the other activities he does. I hadn't really got to know @bigpchef or @internetguy (except for kicking my butt on the tables) because they do so much of the work behind the curtain. Just happy to be playing there and look forward to player pool growing and games being attended by +100 players. If/ when those guys read this they will probably think "OMG, we are going to need some staff members".
Agreed. What makes @SPL amazing is not the free money but its community because you can win money from poker like anywhere in the world but to meet such a lovely community, it's harder.
As Tuck's initial idea was, playing poker with friends.
You are so right, @guyfawkes4-20, the work those two have done and continue to do is amazing. It would be great if the League had some delegation to help people like you who show such commitment to the community!
xoxo!

Huh, my commitment was lacking lately due to Real Life but I remember the good days when I used to be online for even ten hours straight. Those were good times.
I wish I could stay online for the whole day and chat and play poker with you guys. Goddamn real life.
I second this!
i second your second! ;)
Add another vote for @bethalea and @spl they certainly welcomed me to the community
that's what it's all about though, right @davedickeyyall?? I'm so glad to know you and I would never have had the chance if it weren't for @spl! You're a great part of the community, The Anti-Social Hermit Club!
xo!

Woot @spl Community!!
My favorite part about Steem is @spl. IMHO, by far the best application of community and the Steem network.
High praise from the dawg! I agree completely though... I am happy to be a part of a few great communities but none have the feel of @spl!!
