The Old Dog: Shines The Spotlight on @ionlysaymeep a True Steemit Enigma! Post Contains a 50 SBD Steemgig!

in steemgigs •  7 years ago  (edited)

Are You Not Sure What To Write About? Do you Struggle When Making Comments?

No Problem... Just Say Meep!

That's what @ionlysaymeep does! He really lives up to his name because ever since he burst onto the scene 10 months ago all he has ever written is "meep!"

Don't Believe Me? Let's Investigate!


Here's his blog page: Notice that his description reads: I only say: meep His location is also: meep! Every post is entitled meep!

Now, I challenge you: Head over to this list of his comments! Did you see? They all say meep! Do you believe me now?

Is "I Only Say Meep's" Tactic Successful?

Yes and no! While he does amazingly have 194 followers he has made over 1,900 posts and his wallet is only worth $18.29. I for one though, define success as sticking with something, not giving up! Judged that way, this meep dude is a stunning success!

What Would Possess someone to Only Say Meep?

  • It's funny? True, but as a practical joke surely it will eventually become stale!
  • He/she is conducting a social experiment? Hmm that may well be. Perhaps the joke is on us.
  • He/she gets a kick out of us responding to his comments only to get another meep in reply!
  • There are deeper psychological forces at play here?

 It's Time To Intervene! Let's Help This Steemer to Break Free!

It Won't be Easy! Take a Look at These Steemers Trying on His Latest Post!


No matter what you write @ionlysaymeep only says meep!

What Do You Think?

  • Will someone win the 50 SBD?
  • Will @ionlysaymeep break out of his shell with the lure of 50 SBD?
  • Have you come across any other enigmatic Steemit members?


I hope that you enjoyed getting to know an enigmatic steemer, @ionlysaymeep!

I think that you're right. This meeper will not lose his artistic integrity!

I tried to "corrupt" him by offering to split the reward with him if I win! lol

Meep!

aw man, ya had me all excited for a second, thought he replied with a "Meep" instead of a "meep"! lol

Someday he will become meep whale) or may be meep whale bot.

If he only says meep why does it say "I only say meep"?? Isn't he saying "I only say"? So I guess he already said something besides meep.

Hmmm, now you're making me think too much and it's supposed to be my day off! You're forcing me to come up with a clever answer.

True but: That was on his post description. All his posts and all his comments only say "meep"

You are a powerful thinker though!

LOL all his posts do say meep! Thanks for replying!

I once was blessed with the comments of Meep in a post. Glorious day indeed! :-)

More love for the meeper!

Omg! That could be the most fun #steemgig yet. The competition will be... meep!

Classic @kus-knee!

Classic! Funny thing is there are many lessons for steemians and especially newbies in this post!

Question the unquestionable!~

Yes it will be very meep. You're right!

Does reverse psychology work on muppets?

You may be onto something!

I dunno, I think even that might be like talking to the hand...!

The Meep shall inherit the earth? Damn I'm good ;)

Aw, the meep get everything!

That's meep man...

Who takes credit?

You almost had me buddy! Good job! Do you also print Federal Reserve Bank notes in your basement?

I'm happy to have managed to pull your leg a bit here. Making a web screenshot say exactly what you want is actually one of the easiest things in the world if you are using a modern browser. You just right click the text you want to change, you select "Inspect element" and then you tamper with the content in the box that gets opened, usually the text is selected and it doesn't let you change the actual code, so it's hard to mess up. No photoshop skills or anything like that required, just clicking and typing.

Help me... To be like you

You're just starting out and I'm sure that as you interact and have fun you'll get where you want to go!

Thanks for supporting me brother

Interesting fellow this meep guy, thanks for pointing it out :) Will fillow your interesting posts

Thanks so much!

lol

Yes weird and funny!

Brilliant post!!! Omg, I was actually thinking about @ionlysaymeep today and wondered what goes through his or her head...

Wow thanks so much! I'm trying to get to the bottom of this mystery. Most think it's a bot and most seem to like @ionlysaymeep! The meeper has yet to make an appearance here!

Or on his blog in the past 22 days, it seems. >sad face<

Sooner or later we'll make him talk!

Haha! I'm sure he's lurking. Maybe he's you! XD

Meep!

Ni!... Ni!

Meep meep! I'm learning and it's interesting. Keep on meeping! :D

Meep!

hello @kus-knee, meep just text me today

Cool!

Waste of time ,haha 😉

Meep!

Haha , joke of the day 😂😂

Congratulations @kus-knee!
Your post was mentioned in my hit parade in the following category:

  • Comments - Ranked 4 with 151 comments

Thanks a lot for the work that you do in putting that together!

I'm so torn. I hate spam, but I love @ionlysaymeep

It's so interesting to see. Unanimously everyone loves @ionlysaymeep!

He is pretty hilarious with his consistent 'meep'(I dont know why I think he's a guy) I have a feeling he won't budge tho..seems like someone who does not care for the money (maybe he does but he is bent on fulfilling an unknown mission). However, the Old dog has challenged we pups to get him talking....so let's do this! MEEP!

Maybe it takes more than SBD to lure him out! What would tempt a meeper?

Hmmph😔

Haha! This is so funny. I think it will be very hard to break that guy and I hope he won't, lol.

I'm SURE he won't but I hope that he does! It'd be great to interview him!

Already gave it a go (also the dude is awesome @ionlysaymeep)

Yah I saw your attempt!

Everyone has to find their shtick. He's working his lol. Doesn't seem like he is taking the bait...

meep :D

It seems this is contagious...

Good one!

Meep

Are you trying to fool us? Ha ha

meep

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Now you're just teasing me! Or...maybe it's contagious!

Nice one! Very original contest :P

Thanks for saying so and for coming along!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Meep is deep, deeper than anybody could have imagined. Meep is like a swimming pool, you can dive in, but you can't tell how deep it is.

Haha good one! you make me laugh

You seem to have it right!

@kus-knee LOL! Meep

Meep

nice....your post deserve my upvote and resteem....

Much appreciated @lautenglye!

u r welcome...

Good idea! I realize "thinking" can be a hard job but maybe "meep" is some
sort of test he is doing.

Yes it is intriguing!

I didn't know about this until now and I think it will be very hard or maybe impossible to change @ionlysaymeep saying other things than meep! Maybe he really believes in that word and money might not change his/her belief!
Plus if @ionlysaymeep truly​ respect his word ( I only say meep ), I'm sure it will stay that way!
Thanks for this @kus-knee, it was really funny!

Thanks so much for your visit and you make very good points!

I have not yet seen such laziness) @kus-knee

Maybe that's all he can write!

Where is meep on this post from one and only @ionlysaymeep :P

I'm so anxious for that moment to arrive!

What if you are @ionlysaymeep . . .hahaha

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Meep! Oops I blew my cover!

Awesome, so interesting..
Best of the best..
Great project, i love you post..
Upvote and Resteem.!!
Dear friend kus-knee, have a nice day..
Good luck.!! ^_^

You are too kind!

Thank you friend :)

Thank you for posting @kus-knee.

Yes...you are quite right....Nary a peep from meep.

All the best to you and yours. Cheers.

It is a mystery!

Of course if they say anything but meep , they would have to close the account and change their name , get a new passport and hide in shame, a heavy price for not having to think about what you say!

You are a common sense thinker and thus I need to change my approach on this steemgig! New info to follow!

Amazing my man

Right back at you my friend!

Hahahahahah.
Yeahhhh you are best one brother.

lol i think he commented a couple times to me.. just 'meep' lol

That's all he ever does! Meep! Not even meep meep!

Oh, I am in your screenshot, lol.
Another funny thing maybe that you have a "plan" organised with @ionlysaymeep to make him earn money with all these people commenting on his posts, is not it? ;)

That's an intersting conspiracy theory but I'm just as curious about this elusive Steemer as everyone else!

I know, well I hope so, I was just teasing ;)

Haha lol :D I @ionlysaymeep is so funny :D I don't really want him/her to say something different :D But 50 Steemdollar would be great :D @ionlysaymeep what about we share them ?

Yes I'm beginning to think that you're right. Perhaps we shouldn't try to "help" him/her change!

Hey @kus-knee, I tried to keep answering @ionlysaymeep with "meep", but he/she
gave up after three or four (I was expecting at least 100 and ready to answer even more) It is fun to me and I enjoy "meep" as one of the comments to my post. Funny; other day I answer him/her like this;

meep.png

You know, answer was still "meep". It's funny and crazy.

So you've run into our meeping friend. He/she seems to be well loved though!

Yes, I love it where it is written and even have loved more if it was a sound!

Hmm you're like your son. You're getting my mind working! A sound.....more to come!

Let's see if sound come!

Mayb a twist if no one gets this one is to see if @ionlysaymeep can be made to tire out by a human. So "who can get @ionlysaymeep 50 consective meeps". This post has lessons in it and a lot of virtues can be tested. Let's see who even attempts it. Every breakthrough that ever happened with some unrealistic thought or "crazy". Going to the moon is possible today but the first person that must have said "hey there, let's go to that small globe in the night shy"; must be told; "meep".

Hey that's one idea to put forward. There will be others to consider but one thing is certain, this 50 SBD steemgig will be paid out! If our little meeper friend doesn't co-operate this way within the 7 days the gig will go to at least 60 SBD (thanks to the 10 SBD contribution from @steemgigs) and we will change the gig description in order to get a winner!

Ah ah ah ! L'argomento degli enigmi di Steemit è moooolto interessante! E' pieno di enigmi e questo è uno dei tanti.... e tu che sei un Old Dog dovresti saperlo.! Questo è clamorosamente simpatico..
Posso solo dire Meep!

Well said. Meep to you too!

@ionlysaymeep is also eligible if he creates a post in which he writes something other than meep!

If i was him, i would do it lol

Well maybe he/she is a person of high principles!

Hahahaha, this is extreme genius on your part and fun and no doubt, we have tried to make him change his ways. Even down to requesting his steemit.chat name to discuss something important but @ionlysaymeep doesn't fall for temptation! And yes this post is an eye opener especially for some newbies who haven't earn much. Success is measured even on steemit by moments you create, beautiful pieces of you that use to impact the world, re-shaped the internet and leave your legacy for generations yet unborn. Another example is @steemit-health who stuck to doing what he is doing even with much earn but i tell you, right now that is the best hangout or street on the entire steemit! Adding a small token to your price token. and check @inphiknit again! He has brought more beauty! Amazing thing is there has been #steemgigs testimonial posts, which is even more beauty! The steemian who did a steemgig video editing for you put up a testimonial post and also this one: https://steemit.com/steemgigs/@juanmiguelsalas/steemgigs-my-experience-so-far

You are great @steemgigs! I saw your contribution. No need to do that but I appreciate it very much. I will pay it forward. So glad to see your brainchild getting more and more traction!

I hope that you are feeling better and better and it's great to have you here! Rich Blessings!

Yes yes, thank you alot for everything

I doubt that anyone else will have any success. He's (she's) responded to a few of my posts (meep).

Join the fun though! Let's all play. @kus-knee may have things up his sleeves. This is in itself maybe a test who knows! We learn alot reading this post! Remember the old dog relishes giving!

If my creative juices weren't already flowing you are pushing me in that direction!

Glad!

Ok then!

Let's wait and see!

Great idea old dog! I've seen @ionlysaymeep comment on a few posts and think it is very funny. I would be very interested to see what else he or she has to say though if indeed they can.:)

Thanks for this post!

Let's unmeep this thing! At least for the fun part! Let's try and relate the fun experience even within steemit posts! Creativity is something that needs to be played with!

Yes everyone love our little meeper!

Accounts like that make Steemit even more fun. Not sure if dickbutt is still around, but that bot could make a comment thread funnier with silly pictures.

You make a very good point! "A bot that makes Steemit even more fun! Brilliant and the one angle that I didn't think of! You are a true Geek!

Oh no! You can't try to change the enigma that is @Ionlysaymeep! He does not have to say much. His "Meep" say enough! I've had a wonderful (albeit one-sided) conversation with him a while ago. I think he is fine, just the way he is :-)

Yes I saw that conversation and I went looking for it to add to this post but there were too many meeps to sift through in order for me to find it!

Haha, I'm sure he's had plenty of other interesting conversations :D

For sure, and all one sided just as he likes it!

@ionlysaymeep is one of my favorites! I die laughing every time. :D

Yes well the message in inoffensive and kind of cute!

I've been meeped many a time by that meeping meeper.

That ragdoll's timing is uncanny. TBH, I think it's a jerk, but the good kind of jerk; the type that makes you a bit mad, yet laughing your ass off. It's a genius jerk.

Another @ionlynsaymeep fan! Maybe we should start tipping the meeping meeper. Still no meep from @ionlysaymeep in this post so far!

A glorious challenge, which is seemingly insoluble. I'm looking forward to the search, which will give him / her from the meep **** to dissuade.

Yes it's been a lot of fun. One way or another we'll be paying out this gig!

Every "Meep" has a price haha

almost always!

I've been meeped a couple times, and asked to forever be followed and meeped. I even told @ionlysaymeep they never had to upvote me or anything. I seriously laughed for hours over it!! I hope he/she keeps meeping. and never breaks the mold.

Another meep lover! This is getting more and more interesting all of the time!

It might be dedication, but it might also be one of those bot accounts that just goes around meeping on total autopilot. Either way, I think it's an original idea and it's pretty fun to see.

This has been an amazing "survey" of all the meeped Steemers! All of us seem to enjoy it and don't want our esteemed meeper to "say" anything else!

I agree. :)

I wish you all "good luck"! If it's someone's bot, then arguing and talking to him is useless.

Agreed but do play along! just the fun part! A lot can be learn even from @ionlysaymeep! Imagine more posts on steemit, trying to lure meep to unmeep. It will fill the place with more fun and creativity. Something that steemit needs sometimes!

You're right!

Yes, the bots! This one seems to be much loved and quite selective actually!

Meep!

Meep!

This is bright idea.

Thanks a lot!

Ah, I have had many a fun conversation with @ionlysaymeep. I have never lured him out though. Good luck to the person who can. Perhaps reminding him about that might we shared in Paris might work.

Ha ha. If you can't do it no one can!

Haha just read an @travalgar article before this about things "money should be able to buy". So after reading that i'm really interested to see if in this case money can put @ionlysaymeep of of his/her principles. Great frun @kus-knee!

Yes I read that one too by @trafalgar!

Hey @kus-knee I actually think that @ionlysaymeep said something other than "meep". It is not thanks to me, but I have just noticed that his posts are not in "meep" category, this means that he had to write something other than "meep". Does it make sense?

Well maybe. If you can find where he has written it in an actual post you may be a winner!

In the text of the blog or the text of a comment. You're looking for a loophole. :) Are you a lawyer?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I liked a lot your comment, it made me laugh a lot. By the way, I am not even close to be a lawyer, I am an IT Consultant and edge case scenario is my daily piece of bread :)

Nice, the more IT members the better!

Prepare your wallets. Let's bribe the meep-talking @ionlysaymeep.
Just kidding. I probably won't have enough funds to bribe him.

Meep! <- I kinda have an idea where the word probably came from.

Hmm are you dropping a clue!

I failed kus-knee. There's actually a cartoon show called Phineas and Ferb and they had this Meap alien character which only speaks "Meep" unless dressed with a mustache. I tried to give @ionlysaymeep a mustache to no response other than a "meep". The mystery continues, man.

Hey I saw that thread with the mustache! I'll have to check out that cartoon!

Hehe, I think you should, sir.

Ha ha ha!

@ionlysaymeep meep meep meep meep meep. meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep.

meep meep meep meep meep meep meep. meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep.

meep meep meep meep meep meep meep?

meep meep meep
meep

MEEP

I got this...

Go get him!

I do remember getting some "meep" love at one time or another.

I have no idea what his (her?) motivation is, other than to say meep.

There is some thought that it's from Steemit.com as a funny little surprise. The meeper doesn't overdo it but just shows up from time to time.

I realised a while ago that @ionlysaymeep is a disgruntled extra from a Monty Python Movie!

Good old Month Python! Thanks for the memories!

He wont crack!

It sure looks that way but I've got a solution and I'll announced it later today.

Oh really? Keen to hear the plan! Ill keep an eye out :)

I was meeped and responded that his effort might be more useful if he used pics or vids to better communicate towards whatever end he sought.

His response: "meep".

Did my part =p

Thanks!

Great effort, you're a real team player! Next we'll raise the prize much higher and there'll be a REAL chance to win !
