I'm trying out a new header today, with some nice orange in the background. It felt a little more like Halloween! What do you think?
Let's get going into the giveaway for this week. Sunday means it's time for another ten HSBI and two DUO token giveaway. However this is the second and final bonus edition to celebrate the 30th week of the initiative. in addition to the ten HSBI, DUO tokens, and Splinterlands card giveaway I've added in one more prize of 5 HSBI and 5 more DUO tokens. It's a pretty juicy prize this weekend!
This is how it will go, the usual four spins with their normal prizes. Then two bonus spins, first bonus spin wins 5 HSBI and the second bonus spin wins 5 DUO tokens!
Before we get into the prize winners I always like to go over the responses to the entry question for last week. The question was: Who is your favorite super villain? The uncontested champion chosen by the voters was: The Joker!
The Joker

Picking which Joker to use here is a hard one for me. I loved Jack Nicholson's performance in the 1989 Tim Burton Batman movie. Then there was Heath Ledger's performance of a very dark and psychologically twisted joker. So I included pictures of both, they were my favorite Jokers! We had three people pick him overall, and it's hard to argue with the pick. Some Joker performances have been much better than others, and Jared Leto's version just plain sucked.... Thanks to @silvertop , @ronnie10 and @servelle for your votes!
Harley Quinn

And for the second week in a row Harley Quinn is back in the lineup with two votes from @kerrislravehhill and @whywhy ! My favorite version was definitely Margot Robbie, blending beauty with absolute insanity. Thanks for your votes, a great pick!
Venom
hdqwalls.com
Venom got two votes as well coming from @chaosmagic23 and @kungfukid . This Spiderman villain is a classic and makes appearances in several movies including his own Venom movies. The second is slated for release on October 25 this year. It should make for a some fun Halloween viewing!
Loki
reason.com
Only one vote for Loki from @henruc , and it's hard to argue otherwise after Tom Hiddleston brought the character to life like never before. The irony about that is he was auditioning for the part of Thor when they cast him as Loki, but great actors can even turn villains into heroes as we saw in the two seasons of the Loki miniseries on Disney+. If you haven't seen the show yet it's one of the best Marvel has done is some time now!
Magneto
pinterest.com
This was a tough pick on who to picture for Magneto, ultimately I had to choose Ian McKellan. Not only did he play a great Magneto, but is an acclaimed Shakespearean actor. That's not to say I didn't like Michael Fassbender in the role as well, he was great. Two great actors, one played the aging Magneto and the other the young version. Magneto tried to stand up for his fellow mutants to fight for their survival against humans who fear them. A very common theme in fights over the eons in human history, only no mutants were ever involved. Great pick! Thanks @gwajnberg !
Lex Luthor
mundosuperman.com
Luthor is hard to pick an actor that really portrayed him properly. He is the arch enemy of Superman and is incredibly wealthy and cunning. Kind of like a Batman or iron Man who really hates Superman. We've seen the Batman version of that fight, although I nearly fell asleep watching that long movie disaster... I keep hoping to see a proper Lex one of these days... Thanks @logen9f for this great pick!
Megatron
fictionhorizon.com
The enemy of the the Optimus Prime and the Autobots is Megatron leading his army of Deceptacons. I remember watching the original Transformers cartoons when I was a kid, but the movies changed how they looked entirely. After all Hollywood has to make everything over the top... Megatron is a great villain, thanks for this great choice by @ryosai !
We did have some other great picks but this was starting to get a little long to feature them all. We did get a vote for Hunter X from Dragon Ball by @olaf.gui , Darkseid from Marvel or Sephiroth for Final Fantasy 7 by @shiftrox . And last but not least Majin Buu by @sieghard1990 ! Thank you everyone who participated!
Well, onto to today's contest, this one should be a lot of fun to hear all of your answers! I just can't resist, because it was superheroes last week, let's do the opposite this week: Are you a coffee or tea drinker? If so, what is you favorite kind? If you don't like either, what do you like to drink?
The Giveaway
I will be giving out two prizes of five (5) HSBI. Third prize will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. There will also be one legendary Splinterlands card as a fourth prize. If you don't play Splinterlands just let me know and I'll send you an HSBI instead. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.
If you have more questions about DUO feel free to ask, it's growth is exceeding all of our expectations!
Legendary Splinterlands card up for grabs this next week:
A level 1 Void Dragon, this one is a great card!
If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week. The list so far is rather short:

How to Enter
Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question is an easy one:
Are you a coffee or tea drinker? If so, what is you favorite kind? If you don't like either, what do you like to drink?
HSBI

Choosing the Winners
All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second prize will be another 5 HSBI units. And the third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize is a legendary Splinterlands card or one HSBI unit! And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?
Deadline
Please note I am changing it to earlier on Sunday to make it easier on me if I'm headed out for the day
One week from today which will be Sunday October 20, 2024 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.
