The goal of this project is to encourage newbies to learn how to play games, contests, and challenges. Ideally we want them to understand that not only is it fun, it is a great way to engage and make new connections. Also having them understand they can earn money too is a big aspect of games. So in this part, I will highlight how you, the gamemaker, can help with this project.
Ideas For GameMakers (#2 and #3 are optional)
1. Send me a link to your game/contest/challenge in this post. Just drop it right in! I can't play every game, but I will play as many as I can during the week. I will send out a new post ever couple days asking for "live" games. Please keep a look out for those posts so you can get your game possibly played.
2. If you have a spare tag for your post, you could tag it with #newbiegames. I frequently search the #newbiegames tag for games to play myself. (note: you can still edit older games with that tag as I will go through the feed thoroughly tomorrow)
3. You could devise a "simplified" version of your game to encourage participation as an intro to these newbies. Remember that many of them have never really played games, so the more complicated the more daunting. Note if you do this, please let me know so that I can give you special attention and a banner to use to co-market this.
Ok I am caught up now... thanks for the upvotes and I am happy to support this wonderful initiative! I will do many more including your witness picks too if you like :) You guys rock!
Congratulations, you have been resteemed because you used the #newbieresteemday tag and have a good post!
The tag-lifter looks for good #newbieresteemday posts to resteem to his 2500+ followers!
Thanks for using Bid Voting Bot @allaz service and Steem Upvote Bot Tracker
I want to introduce you to my new friend @monsterbit in order to give additional thanks!
Do you know who is @monsterbit is? My friend, you can miss a lot. I highly recommend checking him with introduceyourself. He is going to hold interesting contests with cash prizes and promises to tell a lot of interesting stories!
You got a 48.91% upvote from @payforplay! Please consider delegating steem power to @payforplay. We are currently sharing 100% of our profits with our delegators. That's correct, 100%! It doesn't get better than that. It is essentially running your own bid bot without doing any of the work. Steem power can be delegated here: https://steembottracker.com/delegation.html
My entry is on behalf of Play 4 a Newbie Challenge. All proceeds will go to a newbie Prize Pool and hopefully you will get other players to join in your game too!
Thats if I win any rounds, I don't have any SBD's or Steem right now, and my votes have been promised on @greetersguild game, so it's the only way I can help right now.
@bashadow that is awesome! That is worth more than SBD's to me! Thanks and if you want the banner, feel free to lift it ;) ... Thanks for all you do and for once again taking the lead and showing people how its done! :)
A terrific initiative as always and looking forward to reviving a few old games plus coming up with some new ones for all the newbies out there this week! Just also want to tag this comment for the people in @asapers, @helpie and @ifc to see if they are also interested in helping out, and for @artz and @moneyinfant to see if they can also promote their contest posts here for people looking for games to play :)
A couple of people that I also want to invite to promote their contest because I have enjoyed it: @apolymask, @bengy, @makerhacks and I know there are a lot more out there that I will remember after I post this comment :p
You are the man @plushzilla! Thank you and all the people you tagged too! It takes a lot of people working together to make things happen, and its things like this that don't go unnoticed! :) Thanks again!
Very nice @munirahayati :)... and yes I like that game too... Its easy and fun! I have more now too if you want to check any them out, here's the link :)
For somebody that I look up to as much as you, to follow me does truly mean a lot. It would be like Miyagi following Danielson. Sir you have been an inspiration to me, and for that I can't repay you. I could go on forever speaking my gratitude. However I have so little time today and I have to get back to responding to everybody. But I want you to know, I will do everything I can to help in this great effort. We will make steemit the platform it deserves to be, for the people. I love all you guys so much. I hope that you have a great day. Sending you all of my love until we meet again.
This is very very nice @johndoer123 :) ... I am humbled to see it honestly! Thank you very much :)
And I am too happy to be following you and I'm looking forward to working side by side with you on many things in the future! I see many of your comments and games and I think you fit in really well with the great group of people we have here. @amariespeaks refers to us as a tribe, and we sorta are... But the good kind that doesn't mind mingling with all the other tribes!
Nice to see this message, thank you very much as I'm honored for sure :)
Nyahahaha i am just trying to guess the amount of money on your kid jar hahahahha . is that a play? i dont think so ? my friend, but anyway to tell you frankly I am just having fun and I enjoy your games hihihihi
Here's the link to my latest game sir. Thank you again for what you do. You are a great asset to our community. Sending you all my love until we see each other again. I hope you have a great day. https://steemit.com/newbiegames/@johndoer123/5-facts-and-a-fib
Yes. Thank you so much. I played one. Though I'm not sure if I followed the rules correctly. And truthfully, I don't have a whole lot of time. It's hard for me to keep up with everybody who is getting in touch with me. And I'm trying to make as much time as possible for those new ones I have met. I don't mind if I don't win any money. I'm sure that there are people out there that need it more than me anyway. If I play those games, I feel like it takes time away from me meeting and helping all these other great people. I will try to play another game today or tomorrow though. And thank you again for everything that you do. You're truly a good guy. I'd love to stay and chat some more, but unfortunately I have to get back at it. I hope you have a great day. All of my love to you and all of yours. And may our Creator bless yous.
I know exactly how you feel... lol... That is exactly why I rarely get to play the games... Frankly that is what I would like to do all day is play games... but no time! :)
And its a great attitude to let others win, its a very good way to thinking! :)
@classical-radio also has some other contests for SBD share. Composer of the week contributions and also a music jokes of the week. The new ones will go up later this week, and they will be tagged with the #newbiegames tag.
I will be stopping by right now.. Thanks for dropping in your links... I will also have more of them on Weds so make sure you keep your live games updated so I can see them! :)
I like Benjy's games too... They never turn out how I thought they would though... I have never played it, but I try to guess and see that there is definitely a difference in culture :P
I'm glad you are featuring them though, very cool :D

Ok great! I will check it out now.. Also make sure you enter other games so that you get a share of the pool... Do you know where to find the list?
Yes. Thank you so much. I played one. Though I'm not sure if I followed the rules correctly. And truthfully, I don't have a whole lot of time.
