The Flattening

Here we are at last. No doubt you can feel the electricity in the air, the tingling in your bones, the raw anticipation lighting up the crypto-sphere. Prepare your info-sponges for absorption, because here's some notes about the launch, token availability, and what's to come in the world of Flat Earth Token.

First of all, with The 12 Days of Flatness coming to a close, and not quite as many tokens floating around at this point as we might have hoped, we've decided to give #12DF a makeover. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, what once was the 12 Days of Flatness has now found new life as The 12 Bounties of Nostalgia. This means that, for now, the deadline for these promotions has been extended indefinitely, and so this also means that if you'd like to get your hands on some FET in the near future, that would be the way to do it. As far as the creative contests in these promotions go, we're certainly open to doing a 1st/2nd/3rd place prize, if we end up getting a large volume of quality submissions. We'll be gauging the response as time goes on, so keep an eye peeled for news on deadlines and winners of #12BN in the coming weeks and months.

We'd also like to announce the introduction of our exclusive sponsorship program for our followers. For those with under 10,000 Twitter followers, we're set to offer a simple shout-out for shout-out deal: just let us know when you post about us, and we'll be putting out sponsorship advertisement posts every so often including the names of our loyal supporters. For those of you with upwards of 10,000 followers, as incentive for your support, we're pleased to offer 5% of the total (!) tokens given away in the #12BN promotions. In other words, just send out a few tweets with an honest recommendation, and you'll get a big stake in an exciting and unique crypto project! The more you promote, the bigger the stake. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

Other things to look for in the near future:

⦁ More types of content (Longer posts, an introductory video)
⦁ More channels (Website, Reddit, Discord)
⦁ More events (Token burning, giveaways)
⦁ More community engagement (Let's be friends)

Also, just in case anyone's forgotten what all those 12 promotions were, here's a primer on The 12 Bounties of Nostalgia, or 12 ways to get FET (token values are in parentheses, some of them are updated). AND just remember two things: one, as far as the creative contests go, absurdity and hilarity wins the day, and two, in order to get tokens, we need your Waves wallet address, and use the hashtags provided so we can see your work. In the case of the last three, you can certainly just pick one and do that, even though they're all connected. Just be sure to let us know what your theory is, so we know what exactly we're looking at.

1: Post using the hashtag #1DayFlatter, and follow us on Twitter. (100)

2: Art! Draw our spokesperson/mascot Flatty McFlapJack (2,500) #2DaysFlatter

3: Share our Steemit intro post (https://steemit.com/crypto/@flatearthtoken/greetings-steemians), along with the hashtag #3DaysFlatter (100)

4: Order an FET t-shirt (https://www.sunfrog.com/Black-Guys-Tee-Flat-Earth-Token-1307123748.html?94896), DM a screenshot of the order form (1,000)

5: Tri-Haiku Throwdown! Give us your best childhood story, told in three-haiku form. Feel free to embellish significantly for the purposes of silliness. (1,500) #5DaysFlatter

6: It's a music-off! Write a commercial jingle (60 sec. or less) for "Dr. Jimmy's All-Purpose Shrinking Spray", coming soon to a mule-driven hobo cart near you! He may not exactly have a "degree" or a "place to crash" right now, but he's at least worth (2,500) #6DaysFlatter

7: Photography! Create an image illustrating a complex and abstract concept known as "sonder", defined as, "The realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own." You can go all artsy-fartsy on this one and try to take a picture that "speaks to us", or stick to the hilariously poignant if you like. (2,500) #7DaysFlatter

8: Rub your magic 8-ball and tell us what the world is going to look like in 50 years. Are we talking Idiocracy? Brave New World? 1984? Wall-E? Give us some strange details, entertain us, horrify us, and you too could win (1,500) #8DaysFlatter

9: Greatest Hits of Embarrassment! Make an autobiographical playlist of your guiltiest pleasures and most shameful tastes throughout your life. Points for structure and variety, bravery points for including a picture of your hairdo from that period (1,000) #9DaysFlatter

10: BIG BONUS (1/3) These last three are all tied together and worth bunches more tokens, so make it good! Invent a conspiracy, and put it in a tweet. The ridiculous, the absurd, and the somehow strangely true-sounding entries get the best chance to win (10,000) #10DaysFlatter

11: GIANT BONUS (2/3) Photoshop contest! We don't own these pictures (https://twitter.com/flatearthtoken/status/987401407065096192), but we've seen how they do this on YouTube...FAIR USE FAIR USE FAIR USE there, that should do it. Use these to give us your most definitive proof that your conspiracy is true, and win (20,000) #11DaysFlatter

12: YUUUGE BONUS (3/3) A 30-seconds or less video about your theory and how it affects the world, could be breaking news bulletins, arguments, documentaries, any scope you like. And dig this: If yours is the cleverest chucklefest, you'll win (50,000) #12DaysFlatter

Happy Flattening everyone, stay safe out there!
