I've reached Reputation Level 50! Thanks everyone!

Well, I finally made it. I don't mean that I finally made it to Reputation 50, because that ascension was very swift indeed! No, I mean I finally made it to being able to post about achieving Reputation 50, haha!

This post is definitely very delayed, thanks to the Steem outage coinciding badly with my sleep schedule, so by the time the Steem blockchain started moving again, I was already fast asleep, delaying this post even further.

There are so many people who have contributed to my meteoric rise on the Steem blockchain, and I thanked many of you just 12 days ago in my post about Steem Inc undelegating me. As all of my achievements seem to be hitting all at once (undelegated from Steem Inc, 100 Days on the blockchain, and Reputation 50 achievement), I don't want to belabour the point and thank everyone all over again, or I'll start sounding like a kiss-ass, hehe. But you know who you are, and I hope that you know how much I appreciate each and every one of you who have helped me to get to where I am today on the Steem blockchain.

Rather than this being yet another retrospective of my time here, I'd like to share something of my future plans on the blockchain.

• SteemMonsters
  If you don't know by now, I'm really getting into the @SteemMonsters craze. I have joined with @o07's guild, the #ContestKings 🦁 and I'm looking forward to the beginning of the battles and tournaments, both within the guild for practice, and representing the guild in the public rankings charts.
  
  I've also started making some enquiries about the possibility of obtaining some physical promotional collateral (those nice physical SteemMonsters cards) to give away at the upcoming Armageddon Expo next month!
  
  
• Steempunk.net
  I'm also really keen to get back into @Steempunknet, and develop my character some more, and do more fighting in the Clockwork Arena and develop my home there. I've been a bit lax lately with my SPN activity, so I really want to get back to that.
  
  
• Chibera
  @Chibera is something that is still on my radar, but because of my own financial position, I'm going to have to put it on hold for a while, until the exclusive, financial-backers-only period has ended, and this game is more widely accessible to the general population.
  
  
• TeamNZ
  I am hoping to attend more @TeamNZ physical meetups in the future, and maybe even start promoting some of my other activities on the Steem blockchain there, such as giving out some of those physical SteemMonsters cards, if I can get my hands on some! 😉
  
  
• Delegation / Voting Weight / Steem Power
  Since being undelegated from Steem Inc, I have now started seeing a slow increase in my Voting Weight. I am keen to see more of this happen, and, if I can afford to, I hope to vest more $ⁿᶻ fiat currency into Steem Power, with the help of the kind folk at the #TeamNZ meetups. It will only be little dribs and drabs, and will no doubt have some of the $ˢᵗᵐ that I purchase being siphoned off to buy more Beta Edition #SteemMonsters booster packs, haha. As my Steem Power increases, I'd like to be able to be undelegated from my very generous sponsors, @lemony-cricket and @ryivhnn.
  
  Once I have exceeded 200SP on my own, without receiving any further delegation, I intend to start giving back to the community with delegations of my own. My plan at first is to delegate 50SP to the @ANZUB bot to #payitforward for all the help that @ryivhnn has given to me since I started here, and to delegate 50SP to one of @lemony-cricket's favourite activities of choice (yet to be confirmed, maybe @SteemCleaners?) on the Steem blockchain as well.

These are just some of my plans so far. There is so much happening on the Steem blockchain that I want to be involved with. I'm keen to get back to the @MinnowSupport Project and tuning in to #MSPWaves more, which I haven't had much time for lately. I particularly enjoy @Crimsonclad's #FullForceThursday rock show, and I've really missed that lately. There is just heaps going on, and I want to be part of it all, but I don't want to spread myself too thin either.

Once again, thanks everyone who has supported me and helped me to achieve Reputation 50. Steem on!
