What's In It For You

Hello Hivers! @baby.magic here, back again with.. okay, I'm not gonna do my usual intro this time. Let's just get to it.

The Return of The Ones Who Left

It is such a cliche but every comic would tell you that we live for the laughter.

But if you're gonna pay us for every joke that we tell you then we'd gladly take your money. Are you f*cking kidding me? We have bills to pay and mouths to feed too, you know.

Live for the laughter my ass!

So there's a new tournament coming up. Woot woot! I think everyone's excited about it, I know I am. But I know one person who's really excited about it, @zyzymena.

She keeps talking about it in the comments section of the weekly showcase.

And again.

Well, it's understandable 'coz when they stop the bi-weekly contest I think everybody got saddened by it. And some stopped posting in the community.

But this month-long tournament will certainly bring those old names back, I hope. And maybe even attract some new comics to the community.

[But what I really wanna say is, Don't comeback so I only have to compete with a few people. This roster is already difficult to beat and now you wanna comeback and make it more difficult. I pray that you never hear of this tournament.🤣]

This tourney will be very interesting, at least for me, with the community admin suggesting that the post should be similar to that of a stand-up comedy set. So I'm expecting a lot of one-liners.

And Youtube is also expecting a lot of searches for "stand-up comedy".

And don't argue with me 'coz I know that's what you're gonna do. I'd bet my whole fortune, which is about 15 dollars and 40 cents, a lighter and a half-empty pack of cigarettes, you're gonna be spending a lot of hours on Youtube watching Aries Spears or Pablo Francisco just to name a few.

Nothing wrong with it though. We all got our funnies from people who came way before we learned how to crack a joke. Until we learned to draft our own in our heads.

So I've been talking to some old friends hoping to get some useful materials for this contest. One friend told me she subscribed to this COMmunity 'coz she wants to read humorous posts and learn how to add humor to her posts.

And I got excited when she said that to me 'coz I've been scouting the network for people who would be a great addition to the COMmunity. Maybe too excited 'coz I sent her links of @oldsoulnewb and @amirtheawesome1 posts on how to write comedy. Which she never really asked for. And I even told her to let me know once she's posted her funny story in this COMmunity so I can check it out as I'm not always on Hive. So I bombed her with all these messages on how to write comedy and she just said,

"Wow! Just wow. You are so generous."

And then I realized, she never said anything about writing in this COMmunity. All she ever said was she subscribed to the COMmunity and wants to read the posts here.

Yep! I know.

I feel like a moron so I apologized to her for sending her the links and all the unsolicited advise and she just laughed.

I don't even know why I assumed that she was gonna write in the COMmunity. But hey, at least I made her laughed.

Anywho. About this tourney, I think we should all bring our A-game and make it a big success. 'Coz Amir told me that if this tournament proves to be a success we'll soon be seeing COMmunity badges under our profile pics. I, personally, think it's really cool to have one. If people ask me what I blog about then I'll say to them,

"I write Comedy. And not to brag but I got a badge for my contribution to the COMmunity. I spent blood, sweat and tears just to get me one."

And then some random Hiver would respond with,..

"Really? I got mine just by creating a collection of curated contents. It was really easy."

But nothing yet on how to earn them though. For the time being, let's just focus on the tournament.

I'll definitely join, I'm gonna post my material but I'm not expecting to win it though. One, I ain't that funny(at least to some people) and two, there are a lot of funny comics in this community, some of which are more tenured and have more followers than me (Something that they have earned). How am I suppose to beat that. So I think I'll just aim for an honorable mention like I did last time.

And that's the end of this post.

Thank you for making it to the end I hope you enjoyed reading it.

If you like this post let me know in the comments section.

Hahaha. I am not among those whom you sighed not to read this 😂.

It’s a win battle for me and a triumph.

I am also on the lookout for the tournament and I would always set my eyes on this community updates. I as putting extra effort’s after reading this 😂.

Can’t wait.

I also missed the biweekly contest, though when I join was so late and closer to the end time.

I appreciate the mention, and I appreciate every one of your posts to this community. I'm looking forward to seeing what you bring to the contest.

I'm excited about it myself, but I don't think I'll be able to find time for a weekly entry, and it sounded like that was going to be a requirement.

For a COMmunity badge, I'd lose a few night's sleep trying!

Oh, come on man! You gotta be in the tournament. Everybody should be in the tournament. I think it's gonna be fun and there's a lot of Hive in it too.

A COMmunity badge would be really cool, won't it.

Nope, you can still win with one post for the entire month. I put in mind that people have different schedules and availabilities.
