There was an attempt... to do a livestream

It would have gone well had it not been for one small detail I was not aware regarding my microphone setup. It was a matter of cable supremacy.
No, not THAT Cable!
These cables
I learned that pink cable trumps the usb on my desktop. It's a Win 10 Asus. In effect, my fancy ball mic wasn't playing but my gaming headset in the corner. That didn't go so well.
This FU basically hosed the show but some of my peeps could tell what I was going for. Without the mic being very audible, it kind of ruined the context of some of my antics.... Oh well.
The good news is I'm getting more fluent on OBS for live streams.
I now know how to do:
- Play clips with opacity such as my power up below. Don't be fooled. I'm not at full strength.
This is prob like 1% of my true power here. I know. It's pretty impressive but I'm not one to brag.
We also did a live flag trail demo on our good friend @crystaliu. I dubbed in some sound effects & music from one of my favorite gaming franchises Mother which made it kind of fun. I mean think about this.
Mother 2 aka Earthbound. So. Much. Nostalgia!
What if we made flagging a Role Playing Game?
Ok ok If you subscribe to the /r/outside subreddit, we technically are already playing "the game" but I mean like turn based flag action. Something like a Steem simulation. Instead of waiting 2.5 hours for one vote to recharge, it happens automagically per turn. I'm picturing a party of abuse fighters on one side and the manipulating rewards suckers on the other side.
I would buy SFR: The RPG in a second!
Ok, I don't want this to run too long. I mean if I'm lucky I'll make as much as the copy/paste spammer early miner / witness @steemychicken1. I mean why put in effort when I can do something like this.
If you are voting this user as witness, I advise you withdraw that vote as their actions are not in line with growth on the chain. Rather, a de-evolution to reposts galore. You want reposts? Go to Minds.com. We don't need that here.
I gave this user an friendly admonishment a week or so ago but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears. No matter. I will flag it as it is representative of substandard performance for a witness. I even appreciate the music they shared but the way we see it.
Not your work. Not Your Rewards
Why don't these users just decline rewards? As they are an early miner, I think they know what they are doing but the end result is not good in the example it sets for users. It lowers the bar when we all should be striving to do better and better...
If and only if we want this platform to succeed...
I have a bad taste in my mouth now. I hope I wake to find that @steemcleaners or some benevolent whale zeroed those rewards. Alternatively, I'd be relieved if the early miner decided to retaliate as some are prone to do. At least then, I'd reasonable justification to power down and start working on a fork.
I don't want to do that. In all frankness, it sounds like a pain in the ass. I'd rather fix the Steem we have and that means people need to start using their flags as intended. No, not to stifle contrary opinions like some. To adjust rewards up and down based on the honest perceived value of the contribution to the network.
Good post. Upvoted and resteemed.
Almost as good as your posts, dare I say?
plot twist, @anthonyadavisii is steemychicken1's alt that he uses to milk steemflagreports.
So it's not okay for someone to take a couple bucks from the rewards pool here or there but it's okay for someone to rake hundreds of dollars from the pool using bidbots after posting what amounts to about an average of three paragraphs of work often using the same photos in between paragraphs to make his post look larger?
He was gone for a bit before he left sometimes he was raking in eight hundred to a thousand bucks for minimal effort...it's just a matter of time and he'll be right back up there into the several hundreds of dollars. In the last couple weeks he's managed about a thousand bucks on his post.

ps I think for appearance's sake you should decline steemychicken1 upvote of your comments on his post.
Yeah and then to top it all all off they use the bid bot profits to try and drive away people like me!
Hey I thought you muted me! Well glad to see you came around.
Maybe we ought to just create something new but with the mechanisms in place to intelligently prevent the bot situation.
And no early mining!!!
P.S. Not saying I'd quite Steem but I would out far less time in a leaky bucket versus one that is whole. Wow I surprise myself with my insight. 😆

But I must caveat that by saying the culture of the platform should not take kindly to harassment or bullying while at the same time maximizing the free expression of ideas in a profitable manner.
I think it takes a certain kind of moderation ethos to make that happen. Not anything like the spineless centralized social media and their bias / lack of balance.

Why is my content not worthy of the rewards you took from it?
Explain why 646 words and a couple of Photoshop images I put time into are not worth your $0.9?
Oh, because I got voted by Marky? Oh so you think the work in my post should be knocked down another $0.38?
Fuck you very much.

You roll with that crew that always takes every penny from my post! There is no rhyme or reason, just my perception of what I'm doing is justified! Once marky settles down with all his up-boater fun then things will change. There's no reason for him to be de-valuating my posts / photography / stories either!! Like I said before Marky takes rewards from my post and puts it on yours, so I even out the best I can! . And as I have said a million times anyone making more than me in here is at risk of getting a flag from me, because that's just the way I am! I just work out from the markymark's blog, so your ticket must have come up first, that;s all!
I didn't have anything to do with you getting flagged nor do I have any control over you not getting flagged. You antagonized people.
I tried to help mediate for you so maybe don't be a dick? Or keep doing it. I don't really care.
Don't be flagging my honest truthful blog piece just because it so happens to be about you! LOL there u go again Anthoney, abusing the powers at be again just to hide the truth to suit you! Loser!. Total loser!
Kooks!
Marky is not our CFO. Flagged for spreading misinformation.
I was trying to play nice with you but the grace period is over.

O.K. Fine, I'll try to give you a break and a benefit of a doubt! At least now you'll have a better idea about what it is like being flagged a lot by the same old people! You gotta be able to take it before you can dish it out. Sounds like you passed the stage of denial and onto acceptance, so ok, that's good for now? I "got good & plenty" of other flags to do for a while. I'll be watching! lol see ya around!
EDIT: Until this just happened! Please tell me this didn't just happen!! SFR = SKUM SUCKING LEACHES!!

WTF is this?
And this?
Fuck off steemflagrewards approved it? This is my original stuff!
Not sure what kind of games sfr is playing but the second i try to be nice to you this happens! lol i don’t know, i might have to go back to flagging u & @steemflagrewards! Looks like that is what marky is trying to say here! lol

Hi @anthonyadavisii!
Structure of your total SBI vote value:
Did you know that your SBI level shows in your Steempeak wallet?
the person that can make an RPG dapp on this basis is going to make bank bigtime
especially if they allow a multi-genre platform
think about this
you sign up for the dapp, and can create a PC for fantasy, 30s gangster, sci fi (multiple scenarios possible), etc
you can even create a PC for each "universe", which would level separately from each other.
Once logged into a PC, you would complete quests based on flagging spam posts (my thought would be limiting this to spam flagging, due to the abuse potential) . Completing quest would level the PC up to a higher % of the reward pools.
Just spitballing, the game could generate income by selling tools which would make quests easier to complete, by custom skins for PCs, and other micro-transactions...the bulk of that income should go to the reward pool for the dapp to garner more players.
yes, this would be open for abuse big-time...one method would be to limit flagging quests to posts that have already been selected as spam by a vetting agency.
another quest might be to identify possible spam posts to that agency (the smart player would then hold his flag until the agency could determine whether it is indeed spam)
this is your idea, so I'd like your permission to make a post running with my brainstorming. in that line, if you want to run with these ideas, they are yours, just give me a shout-out (or if you implement them, a tiny cut of the action ;>)
This comment deserves some !CHOPS for sure and maybe an SFR vote while we're at it!
Thanks Anthony!
If you run with this idea, and would like more input, just ask!
Hi, great idea,...I'm playing some right now, it's wicked fun! LOL!
Dude. Wow.
YOU'RE HIRED!
EA has entered the chat. LMAO!
But on a serious. I like it a lot. I'm thinking also kind of a choose your own adventure but with some dynamic elements. Maybe FABLE-ish where you can choose the good or the bad route.
Think, we would need a sidechain to really pull this off. It would be like Steem LARP. Damn that's good!
Thanks for getting this train of thought goin. Lol

oh, I'm pretty good at the "big concept" game
...implementing ideas? notso hotso LOL
choose-your-own would be easier to code fer sure, and additional interface goodies could be built on top of that
rofl
and revenue gained by microtransactions would go into the reward pool for the dapp (or most of it, you still need a bit of "skim" for maintenance costs and profit-motive)
there are a LOT of different ways to run with the basic idea, but the basic idea is sound
Hi stevescoins, this write-up was particularly meaty, fulfilling, wholesome, beefy and deserving of a CHOPS token. Don't Chomp on it all at once!
To view or Trade CHOPS visit steem-engine.com
and a thought about one of the "univeres"...a secondlife type scenario for Steemit...let folks buy a 2LSteemit rep of 75, or a 2LSteemit SP level of 10,000...I know there's folks that would love a fantasy version of their Steemit experience
of course, you would want to start with just one (or two) possible universes to see if the actual idea flys

We can do something against those who just take, but unless more big players help us out we are just scratching the surface. I still think it is worth doing and we can raise awareness of the issues. Thanks for all you do.
