Hello Scorum, what's going on?

It has been pretty stormy here recently and we are getting quite some loads of rains. Much more than I would ask for but at least it isn't so cold yet.

For me November has always been a rather dark and gloomy month, the days are getting shorter and it is getting darker earlier day by day. But somehow over here in the Far East I am getting a different feeling. Sure it is getting darker earlier as well, but it is still warmer compared to th eplace where I come from. I really appreciate that, since the heating system in this part of the world is rather crap and houses are not insulated much. Inside and outside often feel the same and we need to wear many layers of clothes to avoid freezing inside the house. EVen at night time I now sleep with socks and long pants, something I still find rather irritating. That's truly something I can't and don't want to get used to, I really do appreciate a well-working central heating system.

But well, enough complained for today, let's move on to something more encouraging and cheerful.

It is Scorum Patronage time and I want to invite all of you to join the nomination round.

I need you to to have a look and think 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 47

This gonna be the forty seventh 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...

The internationals are over and we are moving back to our national leagues. The German finished with a quite satisfying 6:1 against North Ireland and was finally showing the spirit the uses to have in recent years. Last years was a surprising and terrible exception and something most supporters would love to forget as fast as possible. As more of a relief came the recent results even if the German play wasn't always what their coach has hoped for. But only one game was lost against the Netherlands, who have a pretty good rum themselves. However in the first leg the German squad managed to beat the Oranje team in their own stadium and layed the foundation for winning the qualifyer group. Tomorrow we will know who they are going to face in the group round of the Euro cup next year which will be help all over Europe.

For some teams there will be quite some travelling involved at the comin tournament but I do think this is a nice way to hold the next championship which will be also mark the 60th year of this European tournament. I doubt that the German team can be count in to belong to the favorites but hopefully that young and inspiring squad will surprise us a bit more. After the Russian desaster I was hoping and calling for a bigger turmoil, including a new coach and manager but Jogi Low is still on the sideline, not sure if that can be seen as a advantage or disadvantage. Time will tell and we gonna have something interesting to look forward next year.

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 !
