THE DAILY STEEMIT SELFIE CHALLENGE - DAY 9 - 175 SBD PRIZE POOL AND GROWINGsteemCreated with Sketch.

in contest •  7 years ago 

Day 9 of the Daily Steemit Selfie Challenge begins now!


Our registered players are competing against each other in an elimination endurance contest where their selfies must be posted on a daily basis and must meet the theme qualifications. Not only must they post their qualifying selfies prior to the deadline to avoid elimination, they are also competing against one another for bonus points. In each round, I will reward at least two selfies with bonus points.

QUICK DRAW BONUS POINT FOR DAY 8

Each day, I will be rewarding one player each day with a "quick draw" bonus point for being the first to reply with a qualifying selfie. In our last round, our QUICK DRAW WINNER was:

@dearjyoce

CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING THE FASTEST!

BONUS POINTS FOR DAY 8

You guys are too much fun, and these are hard to choose. People are even cutting their hair to look like a pepper! Here is what I came up with!

@louiscpt


@dwells


@thatindianlady


@notaxation


@otage


@ewuoso


@bluelightbandit


@bob-elr

BONUS BONUS POINT?

The secret Bonus Bonus Point thing for the last round was a live animal. Any selfie with a live animal in it gets a bonus bonus point! I wonder what I'll be looking for this time!

@stuntworksinc


@herpetologyguy


@chrismiss


@mariannewest

THE ELIMINATED

It looks like this is becoming an endurance race, but we are still reducing the competition. Five more players have now been eliminated. I was sorry to see you go. Bonus points will be paid out shortly to you.

@matthewtiii
@splendorhub
@photolander2 BONUS POINT
@christjan
@ellicia - 2 BONUS POINT

DAY 9: CUTTING IT CLOSE

For Round 9, you just have to have a knife in the selfie with you.


Please remember as well, that the goal is to have all players take a new, qualifying selfie each day to enter into this contest. I hope that you all do well this round, as soon I will reveal more about the Bonus Points!

Reply to this post with your qualifying selfie by 9:00 pm (CST) tomorrow to avoid elimination. As always, no entry post is required, but you are free to make a post featuring your entry if you want to. By entering this contest you are giving me full permission to use your entries in future contest posts. Thanks and have fun!



IMPORTANT - MUST READ - TOMORROW THERE WILL BE A 21 HOUR TIME LIMIT!!!

I will be offline on Friday night and during the day on Saturday. Therefore I will shortened the response time for Thursday's post. You have roughly 24 hours to reply to this post (Day 9), but the post tomorrow (Day 10) will have a shorter response time. I just wanted to warn you ahead of time, especially if you normally wait until the last minute.

PRIZE POOL

The current prize pool is 175 SBD, not including Bonus Points. It will continue to grow on a daily basis! That means that the longer you hang in there, the larger it gets!

Until next time…

Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com

Got me this time by seconds lol

Dude! What kind of phone do u have? How fast is your internet? How do you post so fast?

Just a waterlogged Galaxy S7 lol. My internet is rather fast but most of the time steemit gives me problems when I try to post stuff here lately. As a matter of fact, when I was uploading the pic, it got stuck for a few seconds and I was getting mad at it lol. Just like right now. This makes twice that I've typed this reply! Now I can go sleep finally. Good luck, bro!

Nice work mate @bluelightbandit, I think it will be totally impossible for me to win this quick draw, as I need to take a pic from my phone. Then email it from phone to pc (as I can't post pics directly from my phone) which can take minutes hours even then post it here, which normally only takes the 3rd or 4th time, oh and then there's the waking up at 3am thing, LOL, nice one brother, you are quick to the draw, I'd like to see you with a 6 shooter. Cheer$:)

I feel ya pain man, I have to do the email thing to and it is a pain in the arse. I do have high speed internet that helps but the steemit fairy likes to mess with me every now and then. Keep trying man, you'll probably catch a break sooner or later and catch one of the quicker guys sleeping. Good luck to ya!

No brother I have resigned myself to the fact I can't win the quick draw, all I will have to do is up my game and become more original and creative in the selfies for those bonus points :) Cheer$:)

I don't think it was a sleep deprivation study. I believe you are a cyborg!

I believe you're right!

You are like lightning! Congrats!

20171018_220553.jpg

Wow! 40 seconds too slow tonight!

That was my husbands fault he was fumbling around with the pocket knife lol

C360_2017_10_18_21_06_28_558

That was close... but you were third. Also, please be careful... you look sort of not careful in that photo!

She looks possessed! No offence, snowpea, please no offence.

Good, I was going for that look!! I mean it's a selfie with a knife for crying out loud I had to! 😂

Well you nailed it, girl! Lol

Thanks, I think...;)

Oh snap, and I thought I got the bonus point! I'm being careful, just held up a knife and snapped a selfie. 🙂 (And then put it down oh so delicately.) 😉

Wow this is scary and very creepily cool too :D

Yeah, I think I got that "Don't mess with crazy" look going for me. XD

selfie_2017_10_18.png

Sharp side out... sharp side out. @ironshield

Going for the pirate look, huh?

Surcouf l'insaisissable!

20171019_190105.jpg

Can a sword be counted, or is that too big?

LOL!
I'd do both, just in case. 😎

I decided not to limit myself to one....or two....or even six....

That would not be too big, good question.

My competition or not, upvoting this ir REQUIRED. VERY creative brother.

Very creative. What's that in the background? @ironshield

This is taken in my kitchen.

wow, this is a good one. LOL

This is so innovative!!!

I smell a bonus point
U guys are awesome
Encore!

HAha i love this one, funny

I thought this was a pretty creative idea but I never imagined it would be so well received! Thanks for all of the great comments!

Now that's pretty awesome! :)

if you do not get a bonus point for this, i promise to give you 1sbd

mirror + knife. Clever!

IMG_0081.JPG

LOL. That facial hair reminds me of "Duckie" from Black Uhuru.


Far left above.


Far right in that one.

LOL, never heard of them but i do see how that could happen. u were my inspiration papa-pepper

You did well, maybe bonus point well!

i would be so happy to earn some bonus points, i have not earned any yet.

People say the same thing about my hair. I just tell them to take lots of vitamins right before bed and see what happens the next day..Lol

IMG_20171019_190524.jpgIMG_20171019_190551.jpg

Some rough pics here, what nighmares are made of, all @papa-pepper needs to do is mention knives and the real psycho in everyone comes out.. hehehee. Hilarious.. Cheer$:)

Effort is the best to take a good shoot..

My phone slap 2 times before i took a good shoot.. :) but finally i made it..cheers..

Excellent.... knives... 😎

This first one is pretty scary...

And another, just for good measure.

Are those throwing knives?

Indeed.

Very cool!

I cannot trust Bahbahra to one of my sharp knives at the moment 7C54B816-A268-410D-A510-42C8BB1F54AE.jpeg

Being somewhat patriotic I lined it up so the NZ flag is in the background

Hehe! I'd better get busy! Been too preoccupied with other stuff today!

Yes don’t let time pass you by and miss the dead line

I just posted. Been spending time with my kitty all day today. We had to say good-bye. Not been a good day. :-(

So sorry, I know hard that is we went through that last year, I know words dont help but your in my thoughts at this sad time

Thanks! That's 2 kitties in four months we have had to say good-bye to. We have no pets now, except that my son and his 2 cats are living with us just now. It was good to have a kitty greet us at the door when we came home from such a sad occasion.

Ohh no thats so sad, I know even today almost a year later I still feel I see her out tof the corner of my eye,

I know that feeling, oh so well!

aw this is so cute. Is that a mouse? it is in it to win it. i love seeing it in all your pictures

Thanks
It’s a little sheep fridge magnet
I don’t like doing selfies so focusing on her instead of me

I didn't get the quick draw award, so I'll just have to go for the Darwin Award!

I was wondering why the toaster was out of place this morning... 😂

Side note: this Bitmoji is a little scary...

Ha! Yeah you should definitely get a bonus point for electrocuting yourself. 😂

hahahaha

I did want to mention a couple of my knives specifically, as I think here are a few people in here that might be interested.

The two in this pic have history with me and before. The one on the right is an Iraqi AK47 bayonet that I brought home from Gulf War 1 in 1991.

The knife with the knuckles is probably the most collectible knife I own.
It's an ORIGINAL WW I Trench Knife.

2017-10-19 11.24.07.jpg

It was made by the L,F, & C company in 1918 and will be 100 years old next year. I had coveted this knife for many years and was finally able to find one at a show about 25 years ago. Had it ever since.

2017-10-19 11.23.02.jpg

Wow! Now that’s a cool knife!

Wanted a trench knife since 1980 when I saw Lee Marvin carrying one on the war movie "The Big Red One"

Finally found one.

Wow! To the highest level!!!!

This is as sharp as they let me have in here.
Imgur

I actually cut a golf ball in half with one of those once!

Ah. Then maybe I can get out! HaHaHaHa!

Love it!

Got home in time to showcase my colorful array of knives!

You kind of remind me of someone there... I can't quite place the name.

Steemit froze when I went to post this. Still missed QD by a minute.

What a tomato haul, that's excellent!!! At first, I thought you were at a farmer's market in that photo. @ironshield

Beautiful!

Get those tomatoes!!!! :)

Papa-pepper keeps us going. We love you.

if you dont get a bonus point, i will give you 2 steem

Lol... God saved you.

I'm late posting because today has been a very traumatic day for me, and I feel like my heart has been cut with a knife. For the second time in just a few months we had to have a beloved kitty put to sleep. I spent most of the day petting him and we just returned from the vet's about half an hour ago. :-(

I'm very sorry to hear about your kitty! @dmcamera

This is a tough one. I mean.....so many choices, how am I supposed to pick just one?

I guess I just won't pick one !

I even threw in a couple of Tomahawks for good measure.

2017-10-19 11.20.35.jpg

What the heck? Hope those stay up there and don't fall down. Haha, this was interesting.

Just for fun, because I couldn't let a cool background go to waste.

This knife is made by Gil Hibben, who made the knives for the last two "Rambo" movies. This one is the spruced up version of the knife Rambo has in the ladt movie.

Just my daily apple to keep the doctor away.

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRHHHHHHH
This is so unfair.... I tried so many times to upload my picture and it failed and then I tried one last time and I saw it on the post (so I assumed it got uploaded but apparently didn't )
It really pains me to be kicked out of this amazing competition due to technical difficulties on steemit...

This is a traditional Cretan knife. It was given to me as a wedding present by our maid of honour who is from my wife's home town of Chania.

The inscription translates to:
In Crete it is trditional a knife to give to honour their friends and anyone they distinguish

I now have two of these knives. The second one was presented to me by my mother-in-law.

It's always a good idea to be on good terms with a Cretan mother-in-law ;-)

Awesome knife !

Thanks

B612_20171019_194619.jpg

Ummm.... Oh what the heck, I seem to have a knack for making whales not like me.... why stop now? Your top photo, @louiscpt is not a selfie. You can see a woman in the mirror taking the photo. Are we allowed to have others take our pics now?

Yip he did say we could a few days back, Cheer$;)

With camera timers and other things there is no way to know who took some photos (not the one that you are talking about) so a few days back I mentioned as long as people are taking new photos each day.... I know that it supposed to be a selfie contest, but I can't verify anything at a distance, so all someone has to do is claim timer and not have someone else be seen in the photo...

I hope that helps.

Well, if the comment below is referring to this: "as long as a new, original entry is made every day, players will not be eliminated. I will no longer be asking about who took the photo or other such things" then it sounds like we can start using photoshop? It does not really sound like it has to even be a picture of us any more? Sorry, it did not help. I did see that on day 5, but then every day since then you have said "selfie." Just any new photo with the item you ask for qualifies now?

If the item it photoshopped in, it will not qualify.
If the photo contains the item but has added editing, it will not get a bonus point.
The goal is to have a selfie, which means that the person who registered the username during the signups should be in the photo. If they are not, it will not qualify.

These contests are a lot of work on my end and I try to run them to reward others and make steemit an even more entertaining place to be.

BONUS POINT!
Papa, understand I am on my way out the door. I have had it with the bots. The humans here have willingly surrendered curation to bots. Bots now decide what posts get upvoted which I think is (cover the lil pepper's ears) bullshit. But today I was brutally awakened to the reality that bots are downvoting original content with no human oversight. Humans have willingly chosen to let AI decide which humans are "worthy." I am finishing your contest for probably stupid reasons that are all my own, but I am NOT going to have bots judging me. Won't happen. So, I am an angry little minnow, just riding this one last contest out because, frankly, I could use the money. I invested a LOT of time and effort into this platform.
I made new friends, I helped encourage newcomers, I brought at least one person here... but bots will destroy what you and I have tried to do. I hope you find a way to improve the situation. As for me. I am going to win this unless you find some bullshit excuse to disqualify me. @longsilver will come in second. We are doing this together, for fun, trying be play it straight and by the rules. Then I am outta here. I don't know what he plans to do. The bots are destroying what could have been awesome, and you are a big part of what made it awesome. I hope you find a way to preserve it.
Peace, out.

Where did i even get this idea from?

Nice to see there pictures :) Thank You @papa-pepper

Hope to have a place 😂😂

Nooooo! My post didn’t actually post! 😩. I was really loving this! I wish for Steemit to stop being down so much.

I was wondering what happened to you. I thought maybe you grew tired of my ways..

Please come back next season!

When is next season

Once this one is over.

i dont really understand the prize pool

No way! I love this game! I’ll definitely be back. Maybe Steemit felt it time I was to be eliminated. My photo, which was pretty great, because I was trying for a bonus point, appeared to post, but when I read that I was eliminated, I went back to see.... It was sitting there, at the top, with the option to post. 😩. Things must have frozen. I’ve been having some trouble with Steemit lately. Such is life! I’ll be back when it starts over! Best game on steemit, in my opinion. It gave my family and I a lot of laughs. Especially, when my daughter walked in the kitchen and saw my drawn on beard. Hahaha!

That stinks. I've become less trusting of steem posts lately, so i double check on the laptop and the phone to make sure stuff has posted.

Oh, I’ve become very untrusting. I have lost posts, comments, and things I have upvoted have not actually been upvoted at all. I save my posts elsewhere before posting, and I have been double checking my comments! Lesson. Learned.

Unlucky @ellicia well played and I'm sure we shall see you on the next one Cheer$:)

For sure!

So sad to see you go.

I’m sad to go, but hey... one less means closer to being the winner for you! Good luck!

LOL! I thought the photo was a guy for a moment!

Hahaha!

My oldest daughters and I laughed a lot, and my baby couldn’t stop staring at me. We captured this gem. We can title it “When You Find Out Your Mom Is A Dude”.

😂😂😂
