Round 2 of Guess That Username CONTEST is officially kicking off today and will run until next week Sunday morning 9:00 a.m. Central Standard Time.
Goals for This Contest:
- Build community
- Have Fun
- Make a bunch of sweet crypto for those who choose to participate!
Have you wondered what’s the meaning behind some of your fellow Steemians usernames?
I know I have. Some of the names out there are so creative and intriguing, yet I've never taken the time to find out what they mean. I've now just begun to communicate with my fellow Steemians on Discord, but with such little time and so many neat people, I needed a way to speed up the process. This contest will hopefully achieve that goal.
Most of us didn’t have a hand in choosing our RLN (Real Life Names) so when we’re given the opportunity to create usernames online, what drives us to choose what we’ve chosen? Our usernames are our own personal chosen signatures to the world. What do they all mean? Inquiring minds want to know! Through this contest I hope to shed some light on our more obscure and bizarre Steemians. This contest will tell us a lot about them and about ourselves through our responses and interactions.
So, let’s have some fun, shall we?
Here’s the rules:
- I will nominate and then interview a fellow Steemian each week as to how they came up with their username.
Contestants will give their best explanation to the meaning behind the mystery of that username in the comment section of the contest post. You can choose to be serious, or just be creative and funny, your choice.
Contestants will upvote and resteem that weeks contests post. That may sound tacky, but the more people hear about this contest and the more SBD it pays out, the higher the winnings will be.
Maximum 2 entries per Steemian. No contest hogging on my watch!
There are two ways to win:
- The original username owner will determine whose answer is most accurate
AND
- The amount of upvotes per contestant comment will determine whose answer is the most creative.
In case of a tie (that being a same accurate or creative answer). The winner will be determined by who commented first.
There are two ways to be disqualified:
If you contact or have had contact with the nominated user and ascertained the meaning of their username, you are resolutely disqualified.
If the nominated user is a Real Life Friend (RLF) you should be ashamed of yourself for associating with such riff-raff and you are soundly disqualified by the guilt of your association.
Keep in Mind:
The whole point of this contest is to meet new people and learn new things. It’s not just about winning SBD.
You are on the honor system when participating. So, be honorable and don’t let your inside knowledge drive you crazy for filthy lucre.
The WINNINGS!
Each winner will receive 25 % of the original contest post payout in SBD.
The nominated username owner will also receive 25% of the original contest post payout in SBD.
PLUS, each winner will receive 5 SBD from me!
Last weeks winners were as follows:
- Closest Guess to the actual meaning belongs to @bex-dk!

- Most Creative answer belongs to @hhayweaver!
Congratulations! You've won 5 SBD plus 25% of this post payout (still to be determined.)
- @negativer will also receive 25% of the post payout. Congrats and thanks for being the guinea pig.
Without further ado:
THE NEXT USERNAME TO BE NOMINATED IS
@mountainjewel
I chose @mountainjewel because they participated in the first round, volunteered to be a Username and even offered up other usernames for nomination!
Let me tell you, having helpful contestants sure makes running these contests easier!
I was planning on using @mountainjewel down the line, but I figured, "why not now, they deserve it for being so swell..."
@mountainjewel please be so kind as to send me your background story and what contestant you think were the closest to the actual meaning sometime before this upcoming Sunday afternoon. You can email me @ bluerisbetter@gmail.com. Thanks!
Good luck to all the contestants. Let the games begin!
Thanks for Reading!
