Why Did I Resteem That? @jimitations
There's something growing on in the Steemitverse. Crowdstories and story tellers. Friends one and all. You heard about Steemwars right?
If you haven't then you just might want to bookmark this peace declaration by @sirknight 27 days ago today. If you're a warren dweller then you'll have no trouble finding your way to the beginning of it all when Team Australia declared war on the entire Steemit world.
A war like no other and I only got snippets here and there after giving my tacit approval to this peaceful war and declaring my own part in it served in full and ordered up the magical bottomlessness of the eternal-whiskey-pour...
...and disappeared deep down into it (like the proverbial diving duck) and my own struggles with wrapping my addled and battle scarred grey mattered bits around the Steemitverse. I became a steembum and a steembum I shall proudly remain...vagabond to the bards, bastards and devilish maidens..all fair and gamey.
But this isn't about that...that was just a toss back at memories still fresh and likely never to be forgotten in certain circles. If you want to start from the beginning then just use Steemit's own google search engine (the little magnifying glass next to your avatar) Australia Declare's War should do the trick. No rush...it's all there for eternity on the Steem blockchain...immaculate and immutable.
This is all about a story teller picking up on a new quest. An introduction of sorts. To a new quest from the same SirKnight who days after war's end became emboldened with a new vision. A vision of Camelot no less and the quest for that most famous of all swords Excalibur and if you hurry you can catch up if you're an avid or fast reader...you may even want to join in on the fun and add your own colour to this tapestry of Steemian bardaucity . They really are a gregarious lot and have great fun poking and prodding one another with their prowess of wit and wonder.
The story teller is @jimitations ...yes you read that right. He's a professional story teller and man of many voices...and hat's 'n props 'n such 'n whatnots. I'd heard mention and delved into a bit after being introduced to a piece of the maze to the growing saga through private sessions with Lord Percival the Magnificent aka @tremendospercy who also wears many hats and rides many steads as he is the quintessential Don Quixote tilting at more current and much more formidable challenges than windmills. Still he doth care to amuse himself and others...life's too short to be a cereally serealous...type.
So my dear followers and barely hang'n in there TLDRers I do believe I've said enough. I'll leave it to you to decide to continue your search for the beginning of these comedic and comely tales of chivalry and chicanery...brought to you in short bytes as only seasoned Steemians know how.
Let me know what you think below in the comment section...the peanut gallery...g'head...throw some at me. Aaaand, if you like this introduction, then quite possibly you'll enjoy other entries in this series of Why Did I Resteem That by clicking the resteem-that hashtag at the bottom of this page.
If you think you've finally gotten a handle on your REM cycles...well as they say in the Steemitverse...sleep is for the weak...and the dead. I'm going to crawl into Salvador's brain bucket (if I can time it right) and catch me some well earned REMless dead time...the dawn (smokey as it was) has already cracked it's egg a couple hours ago.
Enjoy your day, wherever you hail from. May it be one filled with just a wee bit more good humour than middle-of-the-road-day-to-day.
~smiles fer miles~
EDIT: Dali's whiskers...where was my head. I completely forgot to put the link to @jimitations post. It's just a five minute video. Check it out...yer gonna become lost in the whole ongoing saga. I dare say there's nothing like it in all of the vastness of the Steemitverse! So enjoy this sideways introduction to STEEMLORDS <<<yup...that's the link yer wanting to push through...g'head...g'head...gowwaaan...you know yer gonna. };-)>

I am just glad someone still remembers Steem Wars - thanks for the promo cryptologx.
The very talented @jimitations. And I love that Dali gif. Wonderful.
The biggest upvote I got buddy.
Thanks for the mention, STEEMLORDS is a bucket load of fun and it tapped right into my creative and insanity genes.
I certainly hope it has brightened up a few dull and or sad days for people as the stories are getting more fantastical and outrageous.
Sir Percival the Magnificent.
Great plug for steemlords. I'm glad you're enjoying it. It's nice to get an outsiders view. Sometimes I think it's just the participants who're enjoying it.
This kind of serious is one of the best, I can't wait for each new episode of the STEEMLORDS! What will Sir Percival do next? What kind of Adventures face them!? This can never end!

Thanks for helping spread the word about #steemlords, it has been lots of fun and many epic adventures are underway.
oh my gosh! Thank you for resteeming Maid Maudlin! @jimitations is still complaining about his characterization in that one. hee hee
<3 you brother - I'll catch up on this as soon as possible!
WUT???? How cool are you? Thanks buddy - I'm speechless (which is saying something)
Dude I love you too...don't bother yourself with this one...I got it. Start the pruning here!
Guys, alla you guys and I mean that in a totally homogeneous way ladies (read dearest Steemians) you likely know Corky and maybe you do or maybe you don't know how many hat's he's juggling these days. The guy doesn't even have time to post his own content let alone comment on ours.
I'd like to keep this short and sweet if I can. hahaha I know...what a qualifier ;p
This guy is killing it on all fronts, and likely not doing himself much good health wise. This is just my opinion and I'm just a noobish Steemian like the rest-of-us (about the health thing...pressure does few but the mightiest much good) anyway...any more love sent my way in the way of upvotes I would dearly love it all to go to his reply to me here.
He's a giver not a taker...my first true bromance on Steemit and then he was off to the SteemitWars then drafted into service helping the minnows and whalish types learn build on top of this platform as well as the PAL network on Discord.
We've kept in touch...no scratch that...he's kept in touch with me, and I understand he has his own RL gig going on on the other side of this blue marble. As I'm certain he's tried to keep in touch with all he feels need support and guidance...and down home brotherhood. He's a tower of power in my books.
So to close this up I'm just going to say send the love to this man...not me...anything the balance sheet at payout I will be sending to him anyway. Not because he needs it...but because he deserves it. Much of what many here do is a high stress and mostly thankless task. And he has more than his share of such.
I'm rested and of sound mind atm...so I know where I come from and where I want to go...just as many of us here do. I want it this way...whether these words fall on blind eyes or open hearts and a love for this platform and our collective work in seeing it through beta...umm this is as good a place as any to shut this reply down.
To recap...give any love to the brotherman @sircork ...not me. I will post a screen shot of the transfer to him on payout so do as you please of course.
Bro...like the song say...slow down...you move too fast...you've got to let the...awww never mind ...just don't make me hafta come across continent to take the chainsaw and loppers to ya myself in pruning you back to the beautiful specimen you are underneath all that harried growth. I don't call myself The Brutish Gardener to my clients for nothing.
Thanks for stopping by...peas 'n carrot tops to ya Red! Take care of yourself...'n I mean it. They may have you believing you're superman but you ain't...and never neither was I either. It's silent...and often deadly. Sleep is the answer...find a way. Excuse me if my heart has missed the mark...just don't let your own do so.
...and just like that...it's over folks. };-)>
~smiles fer miles~
logyx
EDIT: wholly crackers on buttered toast...that happened a lot faster than I thought I was go'n...hope you all can find some sense in this.
@cryptologyx, very good one! There are so many facets to steem!
Are you kidding me Sir Knight? Wasn't that your jumping off point here. Aren't you the architect of that and STEEMLORDS? I get things confused but I'm just still new and trying to keep my head down.
I know it's in the history books now and I, for one, intend on reading it all. Chrono like if I can figure out how.
Sorta like this quest...lol...I guess it's just a mosh of madrigal mayhem...and you expected it this way. Yes/no...maybe so? :)
Yes, he's a recent find in my feed surfing travels... @jimitations ...not Dali-mon but i did just find that gif as I needed it. Someone else told me it was disturbing earlier...Shane it was.
It is mesmerizing the way the skin moves. Still I saw room for improvement that Salvador would approve himself. Make the stash a couple inches longer, add another eyeball and have it pass through one ear and catch it coming out of the hidden one and open the mouth (while continuing on the present parameters, just more speed and distance)pop it in his mouth and have it come out of his forehead (third eye) with forming lid open and close then drop out his left eye...catch it and send it back through the ear again for the loop.
Try to add another ball to that scene..now that's got to be disturbing even for him.
I appreciate your input @naquoya and hope I can take time to check out some of your interest some time soon. I'm trying really hard to keep everything in compartments I can handle right now. I could go on...hahaha but I won't! };-)>
You Sir are both tremendos and Magnificent. Glad to know you and much impressed how you can temper your passions like you do...or do I mean tempo? ~smiles~ Great stuff!
Oh I don't know really, I haven't taken the time to check the look counts on it all and never will...but I get the distinct feeling y'all are being watched. You know...the lurkers.
My perspective is limited to my instinct though, I know there's a body of work here I need to catch up on. This is where I'm at as a plankter here in the Steemit ocean. Always a few days behind it seems...but that my ferret wheel.
~smiles fer miles~ Nice to have met choo!
Haha...hey man...been meaning to ask you...naaaa I know a nunya moment when I feel it. You keep do'n what you do do.
On another note my roomy's interested in watching you but just not in a jolly mood...I agree with her. You're like a hit of psychedelica action, and yes it's all about the mood going into you. Hoping very much to see more of this series from you. I have a feeling it's got more than some legs.
btw...have you heard of anything of the lady-of-the-lake of Avaloinia yet? Anyone?...anyone?...anyone? Bluto?...Bluto?...okk...;p...I'll stop. But cereally...I hope she never gives up Excalibur...not unless enough SP is tossed into the waters to put a spell on her. Hopefully they'll have communicated through the Steemit ocean just whom shall be the true and rightful owner.
I do look forward to looking at some of the Trek thing you have going on...when there's more space on my plate. So glad you approve of the madness in my method in #resteem-that filing of your work.
Cheers once again...well met @Cap'n Swimbad :D
Thank you @karencarrens, I have you to thank for early encouragement when I had some of my biggest doubts about this....and you a complete stranger at the time. So many precious things to be found here. I hope you find the time to at least bookmark #steemlords for future reading.
Perhaps become a part of the growing cast of characters? Someone correct me if I'm wrong...this is what I called at the beginning of this resteem's discription...is it a true crowd story? Can anyone just jump in or is it invite only? Can one submit a request to have their work reviewed before hand if invite only. Just follow'n my brain on this one. :-/
Now lookit what you started @karencarrens! ~smiles~
I hope you're right...a true neverending fantastical story of blended lore from around the globe. Kinda like the search for the lost chord.
I do like the way your mind works. <3
It sure looks like a lot of fun. I mean this sort of thing doesn't sprout from drudgery. I do hope you're right about continuous epicsodes. I wake up mords...don't mind me. ;)
Thanks for saying hello...that means a lot to me. ✌️
You seriously crack me up! I'm so glad you have Steemit!!! My God, what would you do with all the stuff rolling around in your head if you can't get it out!
M'Lady logyx slams palms to his head to mask his third eye I breathe and eat but to only serve all the maids. Let the Lord's 'n Lecherous Lothario's have the Queens...and Queens...not that there's anything wrong with them. ~smiles~ and backs away mumbling with his head held in one hand now...I gotta g'red'erstryline..'nsoon
hahaha what stuff?
Holy cow. Wow. I can't even begin to pour out the feelz in words. You'd have to be inside my head and heart to know how reading that felt. I could go on and on, but I won't. I just... how humbling. How amazingly humbling.
Wow.
I love you man. Thank you. I have no other words big enough.
Yours, in life, truth and spirit,
-cork
Steemit has a lot to try to keep up with. Nearly impossible. So if you're ever around my side of town then great, but don't stress about it. Like you say, compartments.
You could probably do wonders with a Dali gif. Especially by adding to that one. He left such a field of imaginative ideas behind. The world is your oyster, quite literally.
All the best to you :)
Steemlords! I will have to check out these "comedic and comely tales of chivalry and chicanery." I'm sure I will not be disappointed! I may have to binge read then anticipate the next bit like I do with my tv shows. Much love @cryptologyx. Look forward to your future posts!
It's hokies man...brothers do for brothers. Just listen to yourself more closely is all anyone of us can ask. <3
I'm glad someone threw some love @SirCork. He works tirelessly...you would think he was Superman. I am super appreciative of everyone who takes part in making the world of PAL network on discord go round. Well said @Crypologyx...👏
Well hopefully all the lurkers upvote.
Hello @varunsangwan now that there is a bit of a knuckle scraper. OCD Team...but I don't have OCD...at least I never presented as such. I'll have a short talk with my GP...now that guy is brevity driven. ;)
So now that I've answered, good sir, I would point out that the only self owned photo in this piece is the header. And I'm kinda trying to make it a brand at this time...oh...give me a mo...perhaps I can rummage something up in my HD quickly. Mayhaps you'll find good use for that....hmmm humour or glamour shot?
I decided to hit for the middle. I call this 'love and kisses on a wing' and I took it four years ago at a community garden just 3 minutes from where I live. I hope this will be suitable for your cause.
namaste
I have a feeling you'll find STEEMLORDS a sensible escapism route...when required. You do know you can reach all of it on the #steemlords label...right?
Thank you @travelnurse and much love returned.
I know eh? And so would you @travelnurse ...of course. Thanks for the second of this emotion...much appreciated.
Now I must take the same advice I gave Cork and get some shut down time then head for the waterfront for some coolness and introspective moments at my place of solitude in the park. I love the sound of peacocks in the dark.
logyx
I'll do my best sir! <3
great post, cryptologyx as usual!

STOPYes Steem Lords and Steem Wars were my ideas - but in the end mate, these initiatives are only as successful as those in the steemit community who support it - so the credit goes to all the participants. I certainly appreciated your interest in them C. SK.
Yes of course, we are all less without one another.
I really need to find the time to catch up on this saga. I recently learned that the hashtag is not actually an archival place here in Steemit. There really needs to be a way to bind such collaborative works together. imo
logyx
Aw thanks Logyx!!!
This was unexpected and continues to be humbling and I'm grateful.
Thank you all!
@sircork
I certainly hope so Cork...I do worry.
This is to show future readers that I am a person of my word. ~smiles~ for the most part.
Tiny...so tiny, you'll have to right click on each image to enlarge.
All my best Corky...be good to yourself. <3
Keep on Steemin on!
logyx
wow...you must've felt that going into your wallet lol. I just finished making note of it myself. };-)>
So grateful! I'll be pouring it into my continued sustenance to keep the spirit of the radio alive!
I feel every dime these days, brotha!
