And again it is Thursday and that special time of the week has come when Scorum Patronage opens the doors for the next round.

We are going into our sixth round now and since we are approaching the Christmas holidays we decided to do this round a little different.

Of course I will still accompany and assist one Scorum writer and visit his or her blog to support them with my upvotes. And this week too, I am inviting everyone to nominate some other user who might has been struggling and having problems getting some attention and finding readers for their blog posts.

And in addition everyone can also just nominate themselves!

But of course, if you want to take this road I am asking for some reasons why you would deserve to be sponsored and supported for a whole week. I don't really care whether your wallet is big or completely empty. Be creative and funny, pour out your heart and let me know why you need or just want my assistance.

Be completely honest, or just bluntly lie.

Send me a bottle of Sake!

Bribe me with a Christmas present! I can't say no to some good Christmas cake!

All tricks are allowed!

Be yourself and just write it up into the comment section. On Sunday I will eventually choose the next beneficiary myself, but if you bring your friends or hood to support your pledge it could dramatically increase your chances. Or tear it all down.

I am also planning on showering a lot of upvotes all over the comment section as soon as I see some entertaining proposals.

Of course at the end I will earnestly need to consider who I will choose for this round but you are completely free to go wild and be silly. Just feel merry and lighthearted.

The main idea behind Scorum Patronage is to encourage everybody to become more engaging and start interacting with other users, especially the ones who have just joined our wonderful platform. We all need to help building some strong and genuine community, were people start look behind their own horizon and start thinking long-term.

As written before this week I'm visiting @jonnyball’s blog, one of our very new Scorum writers who hopefully will feel encouraged to put himself all in from now.

My humble assistance has already helped a few other writers to get some more attention and a few of them are doing pretty well now here on Scorum. I am very glad to see this!

And again, at the end of this round I am still planning on telling you about the chosen writer’s work in a extra post later on, just as I did the weeks before:

A few more things:

  • If you win this Patronage round I wont upvote your posts if they only consist of a few pictures and links but no substantial content. I explicitly reserve the right to reduce the value of my upvote since I want to encourage everyone to stick to the level of quality which we all want to see here at Scorum.
  • And I also need your articles to be writing in a language I can understand, this will be in English or if you are really cool also in German. Unfortunately other languages can't be considered.

Scorum Patronage is still in the fledgling stage and I am still thinking how to improve my little initiative to help other writers grow and eventually fond readers for their blog posts.

If you have any questions or just want to chat please hook me up on Discord. Scorum Patronage is running some channels on the "I am Scorum"-server were you can see recent announcements and nominations and you will have a chance to discuss any problems or suggestions.

I am looking forward to catching up with you soon, let this round be as entertaining and distractive as possible, for everyone who wants to take part. Let us feel merry while being silly and just enjoy that we have discovered this great place here recently.

Life is great and so are you!

Love and Respect !
