Still dreeming with (d)Ecency...

One week in ... and still dreeming with (d)Ecency❣️

One thing I love about using the word ecency in my posts is how Grammarly changes it to decency 😉 and with Ecency... decency is on fire... in a good way!!!

That's a wrap for week one posting and sharing through the Ecency front end... so not unlike most weeks for me then as I have been using Ecency for some time now.

The Dreemport-Ecency Challenge lit up both discord servers this week in a great way!!! And Ecencians and Dreemers have been getting to know each other through our writing and engagement.

Things I already loved about Ecency before this week included Ecency loyalty points which are earned through posting, reblogging, and commenting whilst using the front end. These points can be used in varying degrees to promote or boost posts, either your own or that of somebody else. The points can be earned or purchased and are worth more on a post than their face value.

I prefer the softer look and feel to the Ecencyfront end, although I find PeakD has some nice functionality with respect to how they handle multiple drafts, and HBI sponsorship. On the whole, however, it is Ecency all the way for me! I did learn that Ecency does do multiple drafts but the experience is just slightly different.

Very much looking forward to the next two weeks.

My closing Ecency points for this week are 2869.499:

I have the best partner in crime for the Dreemport-Ecency Challenge weeks in July, none other than @penderis.

Most will know Pen as our lovely Dreemport dev, that guy that runs and owns the #fuckit community, plays Splinterlands and Rising Star, writes about shitposting all the time when in fact he is a terrific writer and at this very moment has me chomping at the bit for part 3 of his short story serial set against the backdrop of the Majesty's Inn. You can catch part 1 Unfair, part 2 Reluctance here.

When @dreemsteem finalised the partners for the challenge this week, we realised that we had an odd number of people so I stepped back...but I was oh so sad as I love Dreemport Challenges, and especially the partner and teem ones! I went along to @penderis and asked him if he would be my partner for the next 3 weeks. Despite the facts that he does not like contests and that I am by default, along with everyone else, on the blacklist, he relented without much pressure...and agreed to be my partner.

We chat on each other's posts, on the posts of 3rd parties and in discord. There is a dry sense of humour in there that I find irresistible. He is a top guy. I love the music that he shares with me, the hilarious gifs, and the daily banter. He's also a deep thinker, and an intellectual, and I love that! When I had writer's block yesterday evening, he sent me his own sentence starter to get the creative juices flowing and then checked in on me during the evening as I wrote.

He is also a wonderful designer... and who knows, after our amusing brainstorming session today, he may even produce a teem banner for us this weekend.

Pen is a wonderfully supportive person and somebody that I consider to be my friend. Maybe one day I will be released from the black list... one can only hope.

💗🙏

It's so good to see that pen accepted you to be his partner, that is really awesome. I'm sure with more time together, you guys will be friends, real friends, hehehe.

Sam, you are dreemer so you are free to dreem anything and just do the magic by engaging with your partner and I'm sure he will take you off the blacklist, just keep HOPING 💙💙.

I hope the fun gets fun-nier by next week. Have a great weekend Sam 😘😘.

Haha, how come you are in a blacklist ?

!LOLZ ...did you not know Adore? Everyone is on his blacklist!!!

@penderis may one day officially scratch my name off it... it might be a while though hehe. I'm a pretty patient person though... with a licence to nice (hahaha - thanks for that one Pen!)

@dreemsteem claims to be on the whitelist... so I know the damn thing exists!!!

This is me just being patient...

how did I get on the whitelist?

well, @adoore-eu and @samsmith1971 , allow me to illuminate!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am a bossy pushy "happy clappy"©️ irritant in his life ...

@penderis discovered that I am MUCH more irritating on the blacklist than on the whitelist

when I was on the blacklist, I just complained every second of the day with things like this...

"blacklist???? but whyyyyyyy? but I'm NICE. but i won't bother you!!! but what if there was a greylist. could I be moved to that? there is such a thing as a grey list!!!! but I won't even call!!!! I just wanna see what it's like 😏. and look... "dreemsteem" looks better as a black text on a white background than white text on a black background. or the reverse is more true if that helps my case!!!!and I will be super quiet!!!!!! you won't even know I'm there. see? like now- I'm loud Right? and loud is bad for you...so if you put me there on the whitelist...then I will be super quiet like a mouse. a tiny mouse. a white mouse. cuz white meecey mices are so super cute, don't you think? why do white meeces have pink eyes? did you ever notice that? I wonder if I'm on the whitelist if I will get pink eyes. hey did you ever get pinkeye? it's so itchy. I wonder if it's related to being white meeces or black meeces. I bet if I was on the whitelist I wouldn't get it though. but I always did want to have other color eyes . I have black eyes now. would my eyes be pink if I was a white meeces on your whitelist? we should experiment and see!"

and after consistently bugging him daily.... on day 722 (which is half of 1444!!!!) he said. "hey dreem. shut up. you're on the whitelist."

and I said "yipppeeeeee! ok bye!"

and I never bothered him again.

ok i still do bother him probably MORE daily NOW, but that's cuz he probably likes it now or something.

I dunno .

I didn't even turn into a white meeces with pink eyes!!! so that is probably his fault anyway!!!!!!!

I like it! I like it a lot!

I prefer the softer look and feel to the Ecencyfront end, although I find PeakD has some nice functionality with respect to how they handle multiple drafts and HBI sponsorship.

That is the way I feel as well. I use PeakD every now and then, but the main Front for me is @ecency
To be fair, I would love to see some of the PeakD Dashboard features in Ecency. Especially the way it handles drafts. Who knows, maybe in the future.

I mention to @pendeirs that one of my biggest short-term goals is to accumulate points organically. This means being more aware and consistent in authentically engaging through my comments. I want to emphasize "organically" and "authentically". This @dreemport and @ecency Challenge has helped me realize the importance of that kinds of things.

Thank you for your post, @samsmith1971!

Have a great Sunday!

ps: the command for the Ladies of Hive token is !LADY (I have already used mine for today so sadly this won't do anything on your comment... and you need to hold a certain minimum amount of LOH tokens to call the bot... I think I have 40 odd token and can call the bot once a day).

Thanks for the love xx

Heheheh loved the Grammarly suggestion there 😆 I've finally joined the use of those tools and it's been very helpful to me in phrase construction!

Glad you had fun during this week and I hope you had the chance to recharge during the weekend, especially that sleep 😊

Despite the fact that he does not like contests and that I am by default, along with everyone else, on the blacklist, he relented without much pressure...and agreed to be my partner.

You got me thinking here... I would never put your name and blacklist in the same sentence! Didn't understand what happened or maybe I'm missing the underlining context here ahahah 😆

I so love the transformation from ecency to decency. I so love the suggestion of grammarly but I have also my own version. Hehe
Delight yourself
Every single day.
Care for yourself.
Encourage inspiration from within.
Never ever give up in any life aspect
Come what may.
You are my great friend, dear Sam!

Hehe. I just miss you dear friend Sam. Hehe. Hope to join the exciting challenges in ecency but I am still observing. I admit I am a bit confused of how to do it. Maybe I have to go back to the guidelines so I could go with the flow. It has been a month since I have posted here. And I would never forget a great friend who had invited me to join amazing ecency, the credits goes to you.

I thought I saw a Writer and A Howl. Thank God you translated it 😂
Guys like Pen attract so many people and the fact is, that's a trait they don't want. I hope you leave his BlackList. I can't hope that much🤣. Also, I love what your keyboard does too. I got a little confused with the picture but understood it as I read your post.

Dear @samsmith1971, sorry to jump in a bit off topic but may I ask you to support the HiveSQL proposal?
It lost its funding recently and your help would be much appreciated to keep the HiveSQL service free for the Hive community.
You can do it on Peakd, Ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.

Thank you for your support!
