Hello there! Welcome to our digital spaceship castle.

Hello again IFC peoples. Sorry for the delay again!
I've been exercising and am sooooo sore today, plus my brain has been a bit tired so it took me a while to get to this.
Last week we heard from a friend of @charisma777 and she's okay. Just really busy! So I'm relieved to hear that.
We also just finished judging round 3 and I will be posting the results for that shortly after I post this.
I also heard back from curie the other day and was told they've been having some issues and that I should resubmit our application.
So.. I'll be working on that soon and hopefully when I make that post you can leave a comment and show some support and.. Maybe/hopefully we'll still end up working with them in the future, also a couple of our players received curies for their entries recently also which was cool to see!
Here are links to the entries that received curies if you'd like to check them out.

What else is going on.. Hmm.. Seems like there was some other news..
I guess I should say that.. I think we have.. about 6 or 7 weeks left, so we're starting to get close to the end of the second season! There will be 3 catch up rounds near the end for anyone who hasn't score any points to get a chance to get in the finals.
Even though not as many players as last season it's still been a blast for me and I've enjoyed the adventure with you all!
I wonder who will be our champion this season..? Anyways.. Let's get to the next quest!
The subject of our eleventh quest is.. "Alphabet Word Challenge".
I'm pretty sure we did this quest last season or one like it, I forget who came up with the idea.. I think it may have been @bashadow?
The objective is to write/type up something using every single letter in the alphabet and also in alphabetical order.
For example..
Angelic Behavior Can Define Each Friendly Giving Helpful Individual Juxtaposed Knowledge Leaves More Now Over Policies Questioning Righteousness So Thankful Under Very Wonderful Xenoliths Yielding Zen
Whew.. That was kinda tough! Hopefully you get the concept? Feel free to ask any questions if you're confused.
Also.. It doesn't have to make perfect sense, mine doesn't.. Just do the best you can! :) Good luck!
So far we have received support and 10steem from @underground and I have confirmed that @ats-david @krnel @timcliff @steemcommunity and @ura-soul will also be supporting us this season.
Underground, ats-david, krnel, timcliff, steemcommunity, and ura-soul are all witnesses, so if you support what we are doing here at the IFC please look into them and give them a vote for witness as well. By the way to vote for ats-david you should vote for his @ats-witness account.
Also it looks like @ecoinstar will donate 100 shares of steembasicincome to the winners, with 60 SBI going to the grand prizer winner, 25 SBI to second place and 15 SBI to third place.
And thanks to @bengy for delegating 25 steem. :)
A special thanks as well to @davemccoy and @newbiegames and @newbieresteemday who are not technically sponsors but we have worked with them in the past. Looks like newbiegames and newbieresteemday have been inactive for months though we still use their tags for the time being.
The challenge will finish after 7 days when the post ends and provides its payout cycle or when all entries have been submitted.
25% of the post payout goes to curation and after that what's left will now be split up 75% to the winner of the round and 25% to put towards building up the @ifc account.
For those who play via email.. This will be recorded and saved for you, and.. If you're unwilling to make your own steem account we will at some point be willing to convert it for you to whichever currency however.. Not for small amounts, you must earn at least 10 steem for us to take the time to do this for you.
