CHALLENGES & CONTESTS!
Greetings Praetorians!
It's hard to believe the first season of 2 ongoing challenges and contests have already come and gone!
What CHALLENGES?? What CONTESTS?? It's almost as though you haven't been reading each of my posts with baited breath, whilst eagerly awaiting the next!
I'm referring to THESE challenges and contests, of course!
1) The Streamer New Account Challenge!
A contest for one lucky streamer to win a TOFU that they can give out to their followers! @psilence, @doloknight, & @gatheringthemagic are competing against each other to see how high they can build a new account over 4 seasons! The player with the highest value without adding external funds will be the winner! This contest is sponsored by @hivedrip (https://hivedrip.com/) and @thorlock so be sure to check out DRIP and a big thank you to Thorlock as well!
So far our approaches are all diverging into what each of us seems to specialize in:
Doloknight is the superior player, with more rental experience. He has been quickly moving up the leaderboard and beat me 3/4 of the times we've battled. His SPS earnings are far greater than my own, almost double!
@gatheringthemagic seems to be doing more arbitrage, as well as buying cards to own instead of just renting! He seems to be a slower build up that will increase exponentially once his proverbial ball starts rolling.
Meanwhile, I am leveraging HIVE posts to earn more funds to pump into my account since I can't play as well as Dolo, and don't have the market experience of Gathering. Even with the @bravetofu new player ambassador program perks I am struggling to stay in high diamond, but I hope my NPE HIVE posts will get me there!
It will be interesting to see how these differing approaches work out in the end!
You can watch a YouTube video created by Doloknight HERE that explains the contest in detail!
*A note about HIVE posts earnings: They can come from the main account so as not to have redundant profiles all posting similar content. You can ONLY use the HBD portion of the rewards you receive from a post. The post MUST be about the NEW PLAYER experience, posts that are not focused on the NPE do not count, and rewards from them can not be used.
2) THE PSILENCE SOCIAL MEDIA CONTEST
In conjunction with the ongoing streamer competition, I am running a social media contest for YOU, my loyal readers and viewers.
Every season in Splinterlands, for 4 seasons, I am giving away 6 Chaos Legion packs to those who interact with my videos and HIVE posts by leaving me comments! (Special thanks to @druidsblood who donated 12 of the packs to this contests to make the prizes even better!)
I have been blown away by the support shown to me on my HIVE blogs, so want to give a little back to the community in the form of a few packs. We just finished the draw for the first season of this contest, and the winners and prizes were as follows:
@enigmacode - 3 Packs of Chaos Legion
@olaf.gui - 2 Packs of Chaos Legion
@sharkmonsters - 1 Pack of Chaos Legion
To enter, you literally just need to leave me a comment on my YouTube videos and/or HIVE posts and include your @splinterlands user name. Try and make your comment more than just your user name please, as I would love to use these comments to continue to write articles and make videos on subjects that interest the community, or even just expand on existing topics.
Since you will receive 1 entry for every comment on a YouTube video, as well as an entry for a comment on a HIVE post, you may as well leave one here, as well as on the YouTube video I made about these contests below:
There are still another 3 seasons of the "Psilence Social Media Contest" to go, so it's not too late to start! That's another 18 packs up for grabs... some of them could be YOURS!
Well there you have it! You're up to date on 2 ongoing contests and challenges!
In one, you could win some Chaos Legion packs!
In the other, a streamer will win a Tofu to give away to their followers!
In EITHER case, you, oh faithful Battlemage, could WIN!
So leave that comment, follow your favorite content creators, and have some fun joining in on all that Praetoria can offer!
Until next time, it's your guy, the Psi, signing off.
See you around the game!
Psilence
(Note: No rewards from this post will go toward the "Streamer" competition, since this is not specifically geared towards the New Player Experience. Comments on this post will, however, enter you into the "Psilence Social Media Challenge"!)
