Hello Scorum, what's up?

It's the final day of October and in wide parts of this planet people are celebrating Halloween today. When I was a little boy I didn't hear about that event at all and now it is all around me. First I wasn't sure what to think about it but know I feel it is quite a nice event for our kids and even for us grown-ups. A colorful and cheerful festivity which helps connecting people and creates quite some special mood. I am not too much into cosplay etc. but I can understand why so many people truly seem to enjoy it. Even here in the Far East I can see lots of folks dressing up in a spooky but fun way to just have some nice time, sometimes people here in Japan really need to get out of their daily shell. I guess Halloween has become some big international thing now, what is it like in your country?

And since it is also Thursday again, I am also here to invite you again to another Scorum Patronage round, my humble initiative to bring Scorum users together.

At first it's gonna be your job, please look back and thing which Scorum user could use some more support. Then nominate this user in the comment section of this post and leave the rest to me. On Sunday I will check through all nominations and chose the candidate who got nominate the most as our next beneficiary.

My job won't be finish yet, since from there I will accompany the chosen user for a total of seven days to read their articles and to support them with my upvotes. Which will hopefully help to bring some more attention to their profiles and to encourage them to continue writing quality sport blogs.

But I will not only visit the winner's blog, but in addition give out some big votes for the person who nominates this round's winner first. Plus I will also leave some upvotes on every genuine nomination or comments. Let's see if this will eventually bring some more people onto joining the nominations.

Nominations for WEEK 44

This gonna be the forty fourth round of Scorum Patronage in 2019. I usualy ask you a very simple a question:

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

Please nominate me some Scorum users who need some support or some initial boost. I am thinking about all those new members of our growing and creative community but also about everyone else who is having a hard time finding its place here on Scorum.

It is not so important how many Scorum Coins or Scorum Power somebody has in its wallet, I would rather like to focus on everybody's post reward. Let's try to find those users who don't usually get payed out big, but still try to provide some interesting and creative content. I will not set any limit anymore, but rather decide case by case and have a look on the candidates whole history.

As I said on Sunday I will choose the nominee who gets the most nominations and declare him or her to our winner of the week. If there is no leader in the nominations, I will choose the candidate who has less SP in its wallet.

I will then visit the blog of our chosen one on a daily basis to read and upvote one post a day for a whole week. Depending on quality and content I might use up to 100% of my voting power, however I strictly reserve myself the right to upvote with less or even to refuse a vote, when I feel an article doesn't live up to the quality level I would like to see here on Scorum.

Hopefully my assistance will help to bring our beneficiary into the spotlight and get his or her posts exposes to a bigger readership.

A few more things..

  • Important is that you our candidates write in a language I understand, therefor I will consider articles written in English or German. Sorry, other languages can't be accepted.
  • And of course you can nominate the same candidate as someone before. As more nominations somebody get as more likely is the chance this user will be on top at the end.
  • The idea behind this initiative is to help writers who are not usually standing out in the spotlight and who don't get so much attention. Starting to blog here on Scorum can be challenging in the beginning and I would like to assist those who do have some trouble to get started and who could really be in need of some encouragement.

Some last words...

This week Germany saw another round of DFB Pokal, the German cup competition. Both my favorite teams Hamburger SV and Union Berlin were still in but came out with quite some different results. Hamburg who is still in Bundesliga 2 was facing its rival VfB Stuttgart, both teams really need to get back to Bundesliga 1 and battled each other last weekend. At that time Hamburg could secure themselves three important points to hold on to position one in the second Bundesliga. But this time Stuttgart was the lucky and cheering team, defeating Hamburg in over time and making their way into the quarter finals. Hamburg who manages to get into the semi finals last season can now fully concentrate on their big mission to bring themselves back into the highest German football league.

Union Berlin was playing in Freiburg, and both teams have just met each other as well. About 10 days ago, Union beat Freiburg in Berlin, scoring their second Bundesliga victory ever. Union is the newest member of the German Bundesliga, having made their way their for the very first time ever. Every point or win is still a big surprise and will have a very hard time avoiding relegation back into Bundesliga 2. As more of a surprise came this cup game, which Union managed to win 3 - 1. A very important away win, which will hopefully give the Berlin squad some new momentum which they can take back to the league matches. Freiburg had started quite well into this season but recently experienced some drawback. In Bundesliga they still rank way above Union Berlin, but the direct results definitely won't speak in their favor. Union could celebrate some surprising victory and is still present on both stages, league and cup competition.

The big favorites Bayern and Dortmund also won their games and made it into the next round, even though the record champion had quite some problems again defeating VfL Bochum. The minor league scored an early lead but the more experienced team from Munich scored twice just minutes before the end and just avoided being defeated. Sure the champion can't be satisfied with this game and their recent performances. As in the games before again they had to just hustle their way through, rather then playing as dominantly as they were expected. Not sure what this will mean for the next games and the rest of the season, hopefully things will become more interesting and exciting.

Enough said, I am ready to receive your nominations! Don't be shy, just bring them on folks!

For questions or comments please hook me up in the comments as well. In addition you can find me in the Scorum Patronage channels which I am hosting on the I am Scorum discord channel.

I am hoping to reading from you soon!

Catch you later...

Love and Respect !
