Welcome to the #GooglyPrize,
the one and only 104.21% fair contest on steemit.
After weeks without any SBD rewards, it's really time to make a decision how we move forward with the "liquid" prize-pool. It's important to me that the winners get a permanent reward for their accomplishment and not just the week-long delegation.
Obviously we can't continue pulling SBD out of thin air so we'll have to stop pushing all the STEEM and SP into the delegation fund. Instead I'd like to use the liquid STEEM rewards to sponsor some @steembasicincome shares for each winner, this would help grow the prize pool in the future while also encouraging long term engagement with the platform for the winners. The remaining STEEM would then also be transferred (ideally powered up) towards the winners' accounts in something like a 50/30/20 split. Alternatively we could distribute the entirety of liquid STEEM to the winners directly.
We've been playing around with those SBI shares as bonus prizes in the past few weeks and so far I'm quite happy with how they operate and see no objection against incorporating them into the permanent prize-pool mechanics. We'll not change anuthing for today but if I don't hear any reasonable objections, we'll implement the new mechanics next week. I welcome your thoughts and opinions in the comments and the discussion is open on Planet Googly of course.
The Prize Pool:
the liquid-prize pool is currently empty!
putting together the spreadsheet revealed a small error in the early SBD prize pool calculation, this error has always been in the winners' favour, but on the bottom line the cash pool doesn't actually hold a remainder of 0.096 SBD, it's more like 0.167 in the red. We'll just treat it as an even zero from here on out.
an available delegation-prize of 194.658 SP
plus
100% of all rewards on last week's winner announcement:
0.000 SBD and 6.191 SP and 6.191 STEEM
and that still makes 0.000 SBD in the cash pool:
so @fraenk is sponsoring 1 SBD and some SBI shares
and @googlyeyes earned 1 SBD for you with some random survey
That's 2.000 SBD for cash prizes!
3rd - 0.400; 2nd - 0.600; 1st - 1.000
plus three @steembasicincome shares!
one for each winner
and
207.040 SP available for delegation to our googly winners!

This guy must have kissed a vacuum cleaner or something, who knows?! He's certainly rocking the yellow eyeshadow proudly along with those puffy lips... all that confidence gets rewarded with a 3rd prize today. Congratulations!

π₯ The 2nd winner is: π₯
@kaerpediem with
"Harry"
Seems like we're making some googly fashion statements today. Harry and his magnificent man-bun make it all the way to 2nd prize with a piece of googly poetry. Awesome!
Β

π₯ And Our Grand Winner today is: π₯
@detlev with
"Theodore T. "
All hail the googly spaghetti monster! Today's grand winner is this crazy edible googly fusion by @detlev, based on @sunsea's ingenious spaghetti spider recipe. Dinner's served!
Β
Β
aaaaand
another drumroll, please
π₯ this week's Googly-Delegation-Winners are: π₯
@kaerpediem
you'll receive the full delegationf of 207.040 SP for a week.
Well, our grand winner has plenty SP in his wallet already, so a small delegation wouldn't make much of a difference to him while our 3rd winner doesn't use her account for voting much at all... that leaves the whole cake to our 2nd winner today!

ah yeah... good old #eyebombing by @davor27, would have been one of my candidates, too, but I usually withold my own vote in the final winner selection...
And this time it seems Discord withheld your vote, too! Not sure if the error was on my side or something with the discord servers lagging. Yours and @marty-art's votes didn't show up on my end until after I posted the winners... meh
