Hey Scorum - what's up?

I am still chilling at a very cozy home away from home and hanging here with some great folks. Somehow I wish I was able to move around more freely and to choose the places were I am living as it pleases me. But who knows, some day in the future, when more people will have figured out the great potential of Scorum and Betscorum, it might be possible to live the life I am dreaming about. It's not so much about wealth, but more about personal freedom and the ability to freely choose were I want to go or not. I am very sure there are many of you who are feeling like me and who are putting a lot of their effort towards realizing their dreams.

What I have taken from my first six month here at Scorum (well, almost) is, that we don't need to go this road alone. It's similiar to Steemit, where we can easily find lots of like-minded people, which whom we can easily link up and connect, even in the "real life".

Sure not everybody can always get along but at the end of the day we should realize that we are travelling the same path, even though we might use different means. So let us put down any animosities and figure out the best way for all of us to make this platform even more welcoming and helping than before.

That's why today I am calling out to all of you again, to invite everyone to join the next Scorum Patronage nomination round. Same as every week, I need your help to suggest me some of your favorite writers, who in your eyes don't get enough attention from the Scorum community. We have time until Sunday when I will choose the person who got the most nominations and declare him to our "choice of the week".

After that it is going to be my job to visit the chosen writer's profile for a whole week to check out and support his or her articles with my upvotes.

This week I am assisting @agfnzn10, another Scorum member, whose profile I am now checking out on a daily basis but so far he hasn't posted anything new this week. I hope there is still something coming until his turn ends on Sunday.

You can find last round's winner announcement by following this link:

Last week we only had one valid nomination, even though I am offering a full upvote for the comment who nominates this round's winner first. Somehow I am surprised, that this offer isn't motivation enough for more people to join the nomination round.

Let us see how it goes this week, when I ask you again a pretty easy and straightforward question:

Which user here at Scorum deserves a little attention and should be supported by me for a week?

I want you to suggest Scorum users who need a little boost. I am not only thinking of new members of our community but also of writers who have been around for a while and who are still struggling getting attention with their work.


The idea behind Scorum Patronage is as usual, bringing some attention to some newer writers or to some Scorum blogs who aren't so successful yet. Through my assistance I want to motivate everybody to continue contributing interesting blog posts. I also hope that just by being nominated the one or the other already feels encouraged to write more wonderful articles about the fascinating world of sport and not to give up in the beginning.

I don't care about the size of the Scorum wallet, but let's rather have a look on everybody's usual post rewards. To be eligible for winning a week of Scorum Patronage support the average post reward of the last 10 articles shouldn't be higher than 15 SCR. I am not going to be to strict about this figure, but please consider that the idea behind Scorum Patronage is to support users who don't usually get a high reward for their articles.

I will then pick the candidate with the most nominations and accompany him/her for one week. If there is no leader in the nominations, I will select the one who has less SP in his or her wallet.

The blog of the user chosen by the community will be visited by me daily in the coming week and I will upvote one article per day with 50% to 100% of my voting power, according to length and quality of the post. Hopefully this will generate some more attention and other users will start reading those articles too.

After the end of the Patronage Week, I would like to introduce the respective blogger to the community in a separate article and report about his or her work.

A few more things

  • You can nominate every writer who doesn't usually get a high post reward. As written above let's consider users who's last 10 articles get an average of not more than 15 SCR. And to motivate everyone to join the nomination round I am planning on upvoting comments, which tell me why you are thinking that a particular user deserves being supported by me. And in addition, the comment which nominates this round’s pick FIRST, will get a full 100% upvote from me.
  • And I also need the nominees 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.
  • To avoid that those articles only consist of a few pictures and link but no substantial content I explicitly reserve the right to reduce the value of my upvote. I want to encourage everyone to stick to level of quality which we all want to see here at Scorum.
  • Since the question came up before: YES, you can also vote for the same user as someone before you. As more nominations somebody get as more likely is the chance this user will be on top at the end.
  • It would be great to see the names of writers whose post don't usually get much attention and aren't visited so often. I know there are many outside who really try to bring something to Scorum but who aren't so successful yet. After starting it can be challenging and it might not feel very encouraging, when our post seem to be lost in the big Scorum nirvana.
  • As I mentioned before, the weekly benefiaciary will not only be supported by me. @dexpartacus has commited himself to follow my lead and to also about the chosen Scorum member. We are growing strong! Thanks a lot!

Alright, for now that's all from my side. I am hoping for some brisk participation this week and for many interesting names to pop up.

Let me know if you have any question and also feel free to leave some comment. I am always open for any suggestions and for constructive criticism. Just empty your heart and let me know in the comments or in the Scorum Patronage channels which I'm running on the I am Scorum Discord server. That is also the place were you can find recent announcements and nominations and were you will have a chance to discuss any other problems. And of course it will be also just the right place to have a nice chat.

I am looking forward to hearing from all of you soon, and to checking out some of the writers you are going to nominate.

Catch you guys later...

Love and Respect !
