So I came up with this fun idea for a contest! It is not a novel idea. I have seen it a couple of times on Twitter, so I thought it would be fun trying it out here.
Now I know hosting contests can be challenging. A lot of people shy away from it because they are greedy and only care about making the rich list (throwing shades now...)
They are just afraid they do not have the influence to get a lot of entries (I have those same fears as well but I am doing this still). Well, whatever the case might be you're right for hurdling your precious tokens.
I have a challenge for you and by you, I mean the top 100 stakeholders on POB. Now since we all have the power and influence why not help those on the broke-list? I know a couple like myself who need it.
How about we all come up with different (fun) contests to engage the pob community for the week?
It would be a fun way to get people engaging again and you can flaunt your wealth a little (too much). Deal?
Okay, I will go first. The theme of my contest is:
DO NOT UPVOTE!
GUIDELINE:
Reply this post with a comment saying just about anything you want. That's all.
Your comment should not be upvoted (or downvoted) by anyone or else your entry will be disqualified.
You are allowed to make a new entry as long as your previous entry has been disqualified by another person with an upvote.
The contest is valid for 7days. The oldest comment with no upvote wins. It is that simple.
PRIZE = 100 POB
If by the time of this post's payout we do not have a winner, 5 random entrants will get 10 pob each.
Good luck guys...let the games begin!
Interesting contest I can take part in.
lol and don't forget the replies /comments on the comments...basically everything below the original post that can be upvoted, shouldn't receive an upvote if it's your comment and want to win, but should be upvoted by others to disqualify it, if they want to win...it' s a slippery slope ha ha
Ok. Thanks for the tip.
I need a good job
Making comments on POB is a pretty good job.
Hahaha... For the very first time, I'm seeing a lot of people happily clicking the upvote button 😂.
This is a funny idea for a contest.
Nice one bro.
Lemme wait and see who will be giving me the UPs 😂
Very clever. I wish I had thought of this.
This is interesting. People are happily upvoting my comments. Lol. Are they kind of wicked?
Oh shit.... Why does it look like no one wants anyone to win 🧐😁
thanks for the upvote
Hehehehe..... You're welcome, so I'll give you another one 😁
you're too kind
!PIZZA
Ouch..... I don't have pizza to share with you, but I enjoy every bite of the one you gave me.... Thanks 😊
now i understand why POB frowns on self upvoting. i know you want to but since it is shunned on so strongly let me help you out
Ouch.... That hurts
But no, I haven't thought of voting myself yet
I just want to make more friends with my vote instead of enemies 😏
For this war...... It's a 100POB up for grabs... No hard feelings
After all, all is fair in war 😊
@edystringz! I sent you a slice of $PIZZA on behalf of @eolianpariah.

What a brilliant idea!
What a brilliant idea!
i wish you good luck in the contest but don't rely on luck if you want to win
First time seeing a contest by you, I'll gladly join in even though I may end up not winning.
It's a nice strategic contest, I wonder who wins at last.
All the best to the winner/winners 🙂
This is possible..
I'm starting to think it's impossible to win this contest. XD
Hahaha I'm having so much fun with this contest. Back again to make a comment.
This contest is just making me laugh, people now remember to upvote comments because of this contest.
Lets see who wins 😉😊
I'll be very cunning and upvote every comment on this post
Evil laugh 😅😅😅😅😅
we will upvote yours too😁
That's the fun of it 😂😂😂
Me too
😈
Oops.... Sorry host... That's how we roll 😂😂😂
😏 be nice...
Lol
Fine.... I'll stop upvoting now 😌
can you give us the exact time when the contest ends. i want to post 1 second before because there is not likely to be any post which is not upvoted
30 minutes before the post payout. I think that is fair for every one.
ok thanks
ha ha there's the rub...
and to you... :-)
good luck in this crazy contest🤗
Lol
He said the oldest comment, dude 🤪
ok then 3 seconds before. it will be the oldest if all the others are upvoted
I wish you luck 😒
thanks and same to you🤗
fish curry rice
I..........
I win
Any winner yet?
I do think after this contest that this should not become a regular thing though as all the engagement is essentially taking tokens away from the pool. It is nice as some one off fun though. Perhaps the timescale should be reduced too so that the impact to nonsensical, albeit amusing at times, comments receiving upvotes is limited. I am purposely only using a low upvote % on this so that my own footprint is kept lower. Not trying to spoil the fun, just flagging that we all need to be sensible about this too or risk someone coming in a big downvote to ensure the distribution of tokens is kept fair ;-) I'm gonna duck my head now and wait for the onslaught lols.
Well, for those who do not want to upvote, they have the option of downvoting. I trust we all have a brain and can use our discretion. Cheers!
lol, I like to stay clear of downvotes. Too controversial on this platform.
upvotes are much better
wow, read just today your idea! Great! I'm in!
good luck in the contest
afraid afraid of what you know where you looking for something you have to get it done yourself so if you need something you don't need to be afraid of anything because the thing is you are feeling for it will definitely be your weak points so you don't need to be slack in anything you are doing
I'm thinking of how to make this comment undesirable enough to avoid getting an upvote, and not bad enough to attract a Downvote.
I guess that's the comment..I wish myself luck
Good luck. Great strategy

That beer token is slowly going up in price. Kind of funny. Pizza is nice but not the same without beer.
and breathe
k
O
ha ha I'm on to you @offgridlife lols. I'll have to give you a full upvote next one for persistence hee hee
I have seen something like this also on Twitter and I have try many time but never win ,right now please don't upvote ,you can upvote if only you can give 100 PoB o😁
I don't really understand that "you can only upvote if you can give 100 POB"
Hmmm….
Are you allowed to upvote the comments?
Nope, but others can (and should...if they want to win)
This is the key.
Let's split this.
33/34/33
50/50
I think someone is taking this contest very personal!
Wow, this is a nice contest, my first time in a contest though.
Thanks for the opportunity.

This is very interesting indeed.
Someone wished me good luck only to drop an upvote. Is that goodluck or badluck?
.
Definitely bad luck …but with a smile.
Good luck everyone.
POB is awesome. So many smart people over here.
😁... noooo ... that's not okay. The desire to vote is very great. And I want to win, so I'll give everyone votes! ... 🤣
