RE: Friends of Gondor - Weekly Update 21: Held 7500 SP And Now Looking For A Nice Gain!
Ok...so I’m completely stupid when it comes to all this. Lol. Can you explain to me what it is that you guys do exactly? I always see your stuff and I’m looking to not only help grow my account and prosper but to help something else grow as well. Please help me understand as I’m dumb. Lol
Hey @blewitt! That's a good question... We are an account that upvotes the Stewards of Gondor. There are about 50 Stewards that were chosen by @fulltimegeek to spread a message of giving and "paying it forward". FTG delegated almost all of his steem out when he was super big because he didn't like his outsized influence on the platform, and he felt that many others that he selected could collectively do a better job in total of spreading the message of giving. He started the Stewards of Gondor and picked the people he thought would help.
Many of us were supported by these Stewards in various ways so we all came to know of the program and how generous and giving FTG was. And even though these people have lost their delegations, to this day most of them still carry on the tradition of supporting others and helping to make Steemit a place to encourage people to join.
The Friends of Gondor is simply an account that shows our "collective respect" to those Stewards by giving them autovotes on their posts every day. The account was started 21 weeks ago as the flag wars were started, but has since then continued thanks to the generosity of not only the Stewards themselves, but also the people that have been positively impacted too. In other words, the message of the program lives and this is just a small way that we can give back and show our respect for what they have done for us.
I hope this helps and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask... I'm always happy to help you understand and would love for you to know as much as you want about @fulltimegeek and how he started his SOG program! :)
