Is the space ship cover image theme designed to accommodate artificial social media?

If it's not "artificial social media" perhaps it's "authentic social media" that we are after?! Will we know by the end of Operation #Ping!? We shall see! 😉

Thanks for your comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the special @Comet.Ranker themed graphic animations! 🤩

We are here to do what we can to boost the artificial and make it authentically real... one #Ping at a time! 👩‍🚀👽

💯 ☄️

hey @wil.metcalfe, if we buy booster 1 and 2 now, do they become operational on day 1 of our period and last for the full 7 days?

Nice to be met.

YES! You got it! That's how those work Sam! ☄️

Met we have!🖖

@wil.metcalfe , @Comet.Ranker

Please Activate My Boost 1.
I send 1 comet to @Comet.Ranker.

Excellent @ziabutt3836!

You did it! I received the Comet Token that you sent to the @Comet.Ranker account on Hive Engine and have activated Boost 1 for you!

You will now be able to earn 1 Comet Token with every #Ping Mission that you register for Category 1!

So! Good luck as you #Ping your way through your follower list!

Please let me know if you have any other questions alright.

I'll help out wherever I can!

@wil.metcalfe so if I want to purchase boosts 1 and 2 then I send @comet.ranker 2 comet tokens, comment back here and will they then be effective for the full duration of week 2 for me? Can I send them today? I am just a bit confused by this sentence and how it applies to these two boosts:

Please note that each boost can only be activated once so carefully think through how you would like to make use of this special feature.

@wil.metcalfe @comet.ranker Boosts 1 and 2 purchased. 2 comet tokens transferred. Please activate for me from the start of week 2 Ping challenge. thanks.

You are understanding things correctly Sammy!

Some Boost (like 3 & 4) can only be activated prior to Operation #Ping's official launch (During Sign-UP) for example.

Each Boost has a different dynamic to it as well. For example... Boost's 5 & 6 can be activated at any time during the duration of your Category Window. It's the equivalent of a submarine surfacing at periscope depth to get a better look at what's around it on the surface! Boost's 5 & 6 pullUP the ships Consul Display where a more in depth look at your #Ping statistics can be found. There are a total of 2 opportunities for this function and that is why there are a total of 2 Boosts than can be activated.

All Boosts can only be used once except the sponsorship Boosts which activate with every sponsorship to Operation #Ping.

Some Boosts have an immediate effect (like Boosts 5 & 6) as soon as they are activated... but all Boosts can be purchased at anytime (except the Sponsorship Boosts) from Sign-UP to the end of Category 3's window.

Of course it makes sense to have the Boosts that you want to have available during your Category Window... but maybe after your finished you want to Activate Boost 10 and buy 90% discounted Comet Tokens then that can be done at anytime so long as we are still green for go with Operation #Ping!

Hope this makes sense!

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll get to work with a better explanation! ☄️

Thanks Wil, all good.

You got it! Those 2 Boost's are now activated for you! This means that with every #Ping you will be earning Comet Token and with every #Ping that is converted to a #Ping Back your follower will also earn a Comet Token! ☄️

Thank you for supporting @Comet.Ranker in this way! I'm confident this is going to be really great for you and I'm just so glad that you also activated Boost 2 to send out some Comet Tokens to your followers! This is a cool way to "Boost" your social capital don't you think!? 🤩

Your very welcome! 😊

☄️☄️

Absolutely, I wouldn't dream of doing one without the other❣️

It makes so much sense when you say it like that! A community forms when there is trust and a give and receive to it. I decided to bake this right in. ☄️

Hello Commander @comet.ranker, @wil.metcalfe

I have been able to send 2 comets as boosts for myself and my honourable followers who have made this journey worth the while.

Thank you once again for the opportunity.

Hello @wil.metcalfe and the crew.... Hehe.

How is it going over there?

I just want to inform you that I sent 2 comet tokens to @comet.ranker. That would be for activating category 1 and 2.

I wonder if boost 3/4 will count for me since I sponsored someone. Haha. Although, the sponsorship was done with no intention of get a boost at the initial stage.

Have fun over there and look forward to category 2 😂

We have received your Comet Transaction over on Hive Engine @pappyelblanco! Watch for incoming Comet Tokens for both you and your #Ping Back followers! ☄️ Those guys and girls are gold! I'm glad that you are treating them right and investing in your own social capital in this way! Thank you! 🙏

UPdate:
36 Comet Tokens (so far!) are streaking through the sky and in your wallet! 24 more Comet Tokens will also be distributed to the followers who returned your #Ping! 🤩

Excelent work Commander @Pappyelblanco! 🙌

WOW!!!!!! I have received mine and it's super amazing!!!!

Everyone needs to try it out.

Thank you so much @comet.ranker

Hi @comet.ranker & @wil.metcalfe gonna activate my Boost 1 & 2 now :)))

Hi @kenechukwu97!

Yes! It is certainly busy over here at @Comet.Ranker HQ! And not what you might expect either! hahaha! 😂 Balancing the home life with the radical actions of a Comet Commander definitely take some getting used to! Buuuut there's nothing else I would rather be doing! I got that going for me!

Thank you for checking in with the #CometCrew and I! (You will be UP very soon! 2 hours and 11 min. in fact!)

Ok! Yes! I got your Comet Token transfer! Boost 1 & 2 have now been activated on your ships consul! Congratulations and thank you! 🤩

You certainly would be eligible for Boosts 3 & 4! Those cost 10 Comet each so I'm not sure if your above the break even point! Could you please remind me which of the Commanders were sponsored by you? Sorry... I should know this but I don't! hehe! 😅

Let me know and I'll advise!

@wil.metcalfe
Comet Ranker

Nice one @wil.metcalfe. The game has started for my category and it's going to be a nice experience. Hehe

As for the person I sponsored, that is nkemakonam89.

You guys are going to SMOKE this!

And YES! @nkemakonam89 has REALLY been an inspiration! She has had to balance motherhood and home duties and yet THERE SHE IS! Making big engagement moves all through Operation #Ping!

Thank you for sponsoring her!

So because she is a Category 1 Commander her sponsorship was a 1 Hive Fee meaning that if you were to activate either Boost 3 or 4 you (or she!) would get 10 Comet Tokens!

So because those Boost costs 10 Comet Tokens (each) this would be a break even. Sponsoring even 1 more Category 1 Commander would have (retrospectively) earned you an additional 10 Comet Tokens! (See how that works?)

But yeah! You can still totally do it!

It would be extra cool to have the Sponsor Boost showUP on your ships consul! 😍

But THAT is completely up to you! ✅

My job is to simply inform you of the options you have! 🙂

Ok!

I'm back at @Comet.Ranker HQ (after a full nights recharge!) and I'm now running things behind the scenes for the day! 💯

Looking forward to watching you amazing and wonderful people engage in the comments here on Hive this week!

This is shapingUP to be an EPIC adventure and I'm so glad that your with us once again @kenechukwu97!!! 😁

@wil.metcalfe
Comet Ranker

Hey @sellennee! I'll wait for the Comet to transfer over to @Comet.Ranker! Once you send the token(s) I'll activate Boosts 1 & 2 for you! ☄️

Hello @wil.metcalfe. heheh... Nice stuff.

Let's get it rolling. Lol.

Aside from the boost 5 and 6 which I want to get in, I just sent 2 Comet token to the HQ and that will be for activating Boost 1 and 2 for @nkemakonam89

Cool, isn't it?

So, my boost one and 2 is already on and hers will also be on record in the HQ.

As for boost 5 and 6, I'm all in ✌️.

Enjoy the Sunday. Heheh.

My ping reports will be flying in later ✌️

@kenechukwu97 I am sending a warm hug from here😊.

Thank you so much!

Wow! @kenechukwu97!

Thank you for repeatedly going out of your way to support others in this way! @nkemakonam89! You have the best people around you! I'm so glad to see this! It's so exciting to see you guys both going all out and all in like this! 😁

@nkemakonam89! Your Boost 1 & 2 have been activated! Please stand-by! Your Comet Tokens are on the way (and for any of your followers who #Ping'ed Back as well!) Congratulations!!! ☄️

@kenechukwu97! Let me know when you would like to get a ships view of your follower statistics! To be cost effective you might want to get the Consul Display (with Boost 5 or 6) at the end of Operation #Ping! This would be the most complete view! That being said... this is like an advanced score board... so sometimes having a different view of the information might help you get insights and adjust play as you go!

If either of you have any questions about the Boosts (or anything else) I'm right here. Just ask away!

@wil.metcalfe
Comet Ranker

What a nice guy hey!!! This is fantastic to see! 😍

Ok! I'm going, right now, to deploy your Comet Tokens! Incoming!!! ☄️☄️☄️

By the way! You just got 30 Comet Tokens! (And I'll be sending out 16 Comet Tokens to the followers who #Ping'ed you back!) 😊

 You have the best people around you! I'm so glad to see this! It's so exciting to see you guys both going all out and all in like this! 😁

I really do, @kenechukwu97 is indeed a rare gem! Always ready and eager to help out any time any day 🥰🤩
