LAST WEEKS #HighFiveFriday WINNER [5 STEEM REWARD]

Today I am announcing (late this week) our random #HighFiveFriday winner! @arrliinn!

You took the time to rally under the #HighFiveFriday flag this week AND THAT MEANS SOMETHING! I know that the world needs MORE high-fives so thank you for lending your voice to this initiative @arrliinn! Your comments add postivie energy to what we are doing here on Steem and @Actifit! high-five!

I would even go so far as to say that I believe that it's comments that make a community healthy and strong because it shows genuine care and interest. Comments are what make the Steem Blockchain come to life for all of us and that's why I make an effort to up-vote EVERYONE who takes the time to say something uplifting on my posts That's one of the reasons I started the #HighFiveFriday Initiative in the first place!

@arrliinn! You were the very 1st #HighFiveFriday winner so this feels like déjà vu in totally good ways! Thank you for sticking with me and this idea! :D

Q&A

Recently, on the high-five-chat on @Actifit's Discord channel, I had a fellow @Actifit'er ask me to explain what the #AutomaticWin and #HighFiveFriday Initiative are all about . What follows is my response:

@blueboar3
Can anyone explain, what is high-five and automaticwin?

@wil.metcalfe [ABOUT #AutomaticWin]
Hi @blueboar3. Yes! an #AutomaticWin is an initiative to encourage and reward people for being intentional with their health (more specifically their steps) What is required to qualify for an #AutomaticWin is to get 10,000 steps before 10am. Proof of #AutomaticWin is done by doing a screen capture of your step count via the Actifit dApp and posting your proof along with the hashtag #AutomaticWin at the end of the day when you post your Actifit Report through the dApp. Simple as that!

Later I follow along with the @AdventureReady account and award, in recognition, the #AutomaticWin badge to anyone who manages to achieve the fitness goal. #AutomaticWin's are also award with a 100% up-votes.

@wil.metcalfe [ABOUT #HighFiveFriday]
#HighFiveFriday is an initiative meant to celebrate the weeks win's. It's all about engagement, connection, and support so any comments made on the current #HighFiveFriday post that I (or anyone paying it forward by hosting their own #HighFiveFriday Actifit post) have posted will be entered for a random draw of 5 Steem for a High-Five comment!
Here's the current #HighFiveFriday post that I am hosting:

@blueboar3
Well, I understood about #AutomaticWin and @AdventureReady, but don't understood #HighFiveFriday. Can you explain easier? :)

@wil.metcalfe [ABOUT #HighFiveFriday]
Yeah! The idea is to create a place (or flag) for people to gather under and celebrate their step accomplishments for the week! All steps and steppers are welcome! I think the world could use a whole lot more High-Fives! So anyone leaving a comment (or even a simple "High-Five" as their comment) has a chance to be the random winner of 5 Steem!

I want to encourage a healthy community and growth around the @Actifit project and I believe that comments are EXTREMELY important for forging connections with increasing depth and meaning.

HighFivers have an entire week to rally around the #HighFiveFriday post. Leaving a comment or commenting on another persons comment make them eligible to be the random winner that week!

So, in conclusion, the #AutomaticWin Initiative is about getting people to be intentional with their health and fitness by getting 10,000 steps before 10am. The #HighFiveFriday Initiative is about getting people to be intentional with their comments and connections by celebrating their win's for the week with the @Actifit community. It's a Social/Community Initiative aimed at bringing people, world wide, closer together with high-fives!

Thank you for all your questions @blueboar3! I hope that this clears things up for you and the rest of those people out there wondering!

If anyone else has any questions or if your looking for fitness help/tips the #high-five-chat on the @Actifit Discord Channel is the place to find me! Whenever I'm online working on my Steem projects I have this chat open for that purpose!

The #HighFiveFriday Treasure Hunt

Who won found all the Treasure Hints and won the 20 Steem that was up for grabs?

@roger5120 and @practicaleric have been following closely along with my posts and they managed to figure out what the hidden treasures were! I had hidden clues in the #high-five-chat on the @Actifit Discord for everyone to find... But scrolling up and reading the comments there was the only real solid clues that I had left behind. I did sprinkle some bread crumbs here on the #HighFiveFriday posts and within the comment section soooooooo! As you know by now I VALUE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR COMMENTS! That's why I left the clues in the comment sections as responses to the inquiring minds that had asked for clues and questions!

Why create this little Treasure Hunt? Because I had made some changes to the format in how the #HighFiveFriday Initiative worked and I didn't want people glossing over the post and missing them!

HERE'S THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE [5 STEEM FOR EACH CHANGE IDENTIFIED]
1] [5 STEEM REWARD] I thought it would be fun to animate the #HighFiveFriday graphics so that's what I did. It's fun and eye catching now! [@practicaleric identified this change and found the hidden 5 Steem treasure.]

2] [5 STEEM REWARD] I have decided to shorten up my @Actifit post titles by using the 🅰️ icon. That way people can quickly get the gist of what the post is about and I'm hopping this attracts more people to the @Actifit posts that I make. [@roger5120 identified this change and found the hidden 5 Steem treasure.]

3] [5 STEEM REWARD] I have noticed that people have been using the #HighFiveFriday graphics WITHOUT paying it forward.
Each week I randomly reward 1 person 5 Steem and it is with good will (pun intended!) that I would like people to only use the #HighFiveFriday GIF if they are in turn hosting a #HighFiveFriday post of their own within the format set out. This means the ALL #HighFiveFriday posts should ALWAYS EVERY TIME have 5 Steem randomly rewarded to the people commenting on the hosted post. To actually qualify as a #HighFiveFriday post (where-by I automatically grant access to the #HighFiveFriday GIF for official use) the hosted post should use the format I have laid out in the latest #HighFiveFriday Post.

If you would like to host your own #HighFiveFriday Event please feel free to make use of the #HighFiveFriday GIF but only if you are using the correct format and reward structure.

I'm counting on the generosity I have put forward in starting this initiative to organically carry #HighFiveFriday to the Steem Community as a whole with it's main intent intact. It is my desire and hope that the same spirit from which this idea was created continues into the future as we bring people on the Steem Blockchain closer to each other. [@roger5120 identified this change and found the hidden 5 Steem treasure.]

4] [5 STEEM REWARD] Originally I only gave people the Friday to leave a comment on the #HighFiveFriday post... Buuuuttt! Then I got thinking about it... I wanted to celebrate steps with people all through the week and by making the #HighFiveFriday post more of a weekly flag that people could gather under I thought that it would give more people just finding out about #HighFiveFriday a chance to comment and potentially win the 5 Steem reward.

ANNNNND it would also give people who already commented earlier on the #HighFiveFriday post a chance to #DoubleBack to congratulate the winner and chat up/high-five other people who stopped by to celebrate that weeks steps after they had visited! [@roger5120 identified this change and found the hidden 5 Steem treasure.]

Thank you for participating in my Treasure Hint / Treasure Hunt @roger5120 and @practicaleric! You both managed to find the 20 Steem Treasure! You both won because you took the time to actually read my posts and engage in thoughtful comments! That's is the true spirit behind the #HighFiveFriday Initiative so THANK YOU!!! In recognition for the efforts it takes to keep up with and value each and every comment that people take their time to make... I'm sending you both an additional 5 Steem each! Enjoy!!! :D

Well! That's if for #HighFiveFriday Updates... for now! I have more great things comming for this iniative so please stay posted and don't forget to... #DoubleBack whenever you see the hashtag! As well... Don't forget to #DoubleBack to comment on other peoples comments. This is how real and genuine connections are created rather than boring and dull transactional communications.

High-Five!
