Hello QuillFire! I'd like to enter the contest please. I couldn't sign up for 3Speak, so I had to upload this video onto a YT Channel that I don't use. Please consider my entry. Thank you so much for offering this contest; I think it's a marvelous idea and hopefully many people will get involved.
Here's my entry link: https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@rosiew/splinterlands-challenge-accepted
Music is non-copyrighted instrumental and that's me singing. Thanks!! Merry Christmas!
So, I just showed your video to a 78 year-old family member. By the end she was in tears and her first remark was, "Do you think she's single?"
I have DM'd my contact inside Splinterlands. I have a feeling their marketing people are going to wet their pants. If they don't, I shall write another set of lyrics ... one's they're are unlikely to find so humorous. My pen has an endless supply of ink.
There was one downside to your rendition ... listening to you sing made me realize just how horrendous of a singer I am. Whatever little hope I was harboring of becoming the next Elvis, just died.
BTW, I linked a Hive article in the comments section of your post. It explains how this whole Hive thing works. It's pretty confusing for beginners. If you have any questions, just type @ryzeonline into the comments section of any post and he'll come running. Speaking of which, Ryze, could you help Rosie open a 3Speak account?
Rosie, I want you to publish your post on 3Speak as well because you'll likely get a LOT more upvotes if you do. You do know that these upvotes represent real money, right? If this Contest manages to stir up the Hive whales, and I think it might, that could mean a lot of money in your pocket.
Quill
Ahhhh Quill. :) That's very precious of your family member to say. Please thank her, tell her that yes I am single (Ha!), and ask her if she knows "I'll Be Seeing You." It's one of my favorite songs to sing as it was a favorite song of my grandfather's from World War II. He was in General Patton's army, and he is by far one of my heroes. :)
Thank you very much for your support, Quill. It is so kind of you to share my singing with others. :) I just was having some fun. I'm not sure what's going on with 3Speak. It says the Hive username is already used, as if I've made an account on 3Speak but I don't have any knowledge of doing that. I'll go check again and see if I can find a way to post it there.
Thank you for the Hive article; I appreciate your help! And yes, I know upvotes represent real money. The money is so very helpful, but for me, it's the community that has truly saved me. They make me so happy; I'm blessed if I can give a little joy back to them with my singing your wonderful Splinterlands rendition. ;) You did a marvelous job! ;)
Thank you again for all the kind words!
Rosie, after I wrote that comment, I checked your blog. Obviously you know how exactly Hive works. Forgive the misunderstanding.
You deserve all the accolades I can shower upon you. You are a very gifted singer and I appreciate excellence (in anything) for its own sake.
BTW, when this Contest is over, I fully intend to coerce you into collaberating with me on something. I'm not sure what but I'll come up with something that exploits that voice. Lyrics are, after all, just poems.
Quill
Thank you, Quill and no worries! I'm not the kind of person that thinks I know everything; there's always something to learn.
And by the way, I AM ON 3Speak now, but I can't get the video to upload properly (keeps giving me this error message: Error Code: 102630), but if I can figure it out, I'm happy to upload it there! And sure, I'll do a collaboration with you; sounds fun! :)
Rosie, for strategic reasons, keep trying to upload to 3Speak between now and Dec. 20. But know that anyone who cannot successfully upload their videos to 3Speak will not be disqualified. The alternative, YouTube (or any other video platform) is fine.
Quill
Wow, @rosiew , fantastic rendition of @quillfire 's lyrics here! Woo! And I'm happy to help with Hive, with 3Speak, or anything else, just let me know.
I also had multiple issues with my 3Speak sign-up and first-post, I believe they were mainly related to hive keychain, resource credits, and/or account-age, so those things may be at play in your case as well. :) 🙏
Hey mate.
As it turns out, Rosie knows as much about Hive as you and I combined. Somehow, I managed to mangle her words into misunderstanding. Anyway, she now has a 3speak account but, the last we spoke, is still struggling to post. If people can't post to 3Speak, obviously I won't disqualify them. So, to anyone else experiencing such a problem, just post to YouTube (or whatever other video platform you prefer) and drop your links.
Respecting Rosie's rendition, she's a friggin' rockstar.
Rosie The Rockstar ... it has a nice ring, doesn't it?
And that got me thinking ... since Hive is likely to put us all in early graves, how might I re-write these lyrics to accomodate Rosie's earlier arrival?
Quill
Haha, well good for her! The more people knowing the ins-and-outs Hive, the better, I imagine. YouTube is a good backup plan, especially when we get quality talent like Rosie The Rockstar, lol.
"If there's a hive blockchain heaven / Well you know it's price is over a grand, grand, grand!"
;) 🙏
Nice. 😅
