Haha you can definitely see my name on that sheet a few times :p. I can vouch that they are really fun events, and anyone that is lucky enough to catch when one is happening should always definitely participate.

The rewards are helpful to bring any minnow to the point where their vote will be worth a penny or two when they just starting out, which is HUGE when you're a little guy.

I probably wouldn't have (or taken way longer to) sign up for Discord and the Steem.it chats if it wasn't for these fun giveaways that drew me in. Now I'm glad to be in the several chat groups since it makes it easier to connect with our Steem users with similar interests!
