@fulltimegeek and the #stewardsofgondor - Steemit appreciates you!
Over the past few months, I and dozens of other stewards, have been servants of @fulltimegeek.
We were given the amazing opportunity to hold and distribute over 350,000 Steem Power across many thousands of new and budding content creators, and boy did the community feel the impact.
The time has now come for this delegated Steem Power to return to its true owner, to aid a quest which again has the best interests of the community at heart.
Delegations by Stewards
Last week, I listed the delegations that the stewards had distributed to fledgling members of the community. In light of recent events, these delegations may need to be changed (and fledging accounts shielded), and so the list is not present in this report and will return if/when circumstances change.
However, I can say that at present, 24,635 Steem Power is currently delegated by the current stewards to other members (excluding alts. and Bid-bots) of the community, and I am sure this excellent number will be surpassed some time in the future.

Summary
The SoG program has been the best thing I have been involved with since I joined the platform in August 2016.
There is much good talk about onboarding new users, and the signs are that this is coming to fruition thanks to many members of the community, new or old. However, when I think about engagement and support of new accounts, in order to keep them with us during the difficult first few months (and longer) of their time here on the Steem Blockchain, not even @curie can hold a candle to the amount of weekly support via upvotes and comments that the SoG has been able to provide.
The program has created a community to support individuals, as well and other communities and should be looked at by all Steemians as an example of how to be and act.
I hope that other larger accounts see @fulltimegeek as a pioneer, and look to follow in his path which has provided so much positivity and engagement across the platform.
Thank you @fulltimegeek!
The greatest of respect and thanks to you for what you have done for myself, the other stewards, and so many members of the Steemit community.
Your selfless acts will go down in Steemit history and shall not be forgotten.
Good luck in your quest man, you're already a legend.
Until we meet again, helmets on, and Steem on!

Community is at the heart of success. Unless you got really lucky and bought a bunch of steem when it was a few pennies, the majority of people have put in the time and effort to earn SP and SBD. It becomes much easier to succeed when you surround yourself with a great community. Well done everyone
You are spot on there, and I'm sure what's been built will remain in place.
Just a matter of sticking around, the big guys wouldn't be here if they didn't see the potential over the years to come.
Good luck man!
Cheers bud, same to you. I actually just took out a loan to purchase more Steem haha, I'm in it for the long run
Good luck!
Buying SP in stages? Might not hit the bottom but seems the safest way to go.
Convinced a friend who has made considerably more than I in crypto to spot me, with certain arrangements being made. I believe steem is gonna boom the next few years so time to invest for the future
Sounds much better than visiting the bank for sure.
I think you're right, and I hope we are all right!
To @fulltimegeek, You have touched lives positively with SoG
I am a beneficiary.
Worthy of thanks include @abh12345, @hitmeasap, @lydsaybowes, @taskmaster4450, @allseeingewe and @earthmother, your post hasn't just been insightful, conversations with you guys are amazing and the Upvotes, I'm grateful for everything.
BETTER DAYS AHEAD
Being a SOG has been the most spectacular honor I have ever received. I too, only joined steemit last summer and being bestowed the recipient as one of FTG's chosen ones assisted my success in more ways than I can even start to list.
After hearing of the situation he has been called to do, I applaud his, and others, reasoning. This shows the dedication he has, as well as others, to this platform.
I want to thank FTG for all the wondrous events, contests and paying it forward his SOG delegation had allowed me to fulfill. Never would I have been able to accomplish an inch of what I was able to without his thoughtfulness, delegation and trust in me.
To all my fellow SOGs... Onward and Upward... we made a difference. We succeeded in helping so many steemians. We were/are victorious.
Not only do I want to thank @abh12345 and @fulltimegeek... but also @wwf, @taskmaster4450, @coolguy123 and SO MANY OTHERS! We had an experience of a steemit lifetime!
Same feelings from my side. I always tried to make new friends on Steemit and SOG program has given me a chance to do that and in a bigger way to be frank. Each one of the individuals I got to interact as part of SOG are like masters in doing something and even grasping one good point from each of them will change ourselves drastically.
Well, yes, all those guys mentioned along with others with whom we didn't get a chance to interact have all made this SOG program a memorable one. Everyone is a winner because of this program and Steemit has gained something because of all the #stewardsofgondor thanks to the master, @fulltimegeek.
Yes, yes and yes! I wish I had had the opportunity to chat with even more SOGs.. but I will. I will find them. I will stalk them. (Just kidding!)
Hi Dawne
If it wasn't for the SoG, I would not have had the opportunity to meet such a good group of Steemians set on doing the best they can for others.
You are a standout Steward and generally just awesome, and deserve all the good that comes to you.
Thank you for being here!
Thank you! I have met some of the most unbelievable steemians as well. It's like we have a special connection.
I will be following so many SOGs and continuing to comment like there's no tomorrow; because that's what I do and always have.
What COOL project is this and how can I be part of it?
I am currently member of the @steemstem and @greek-trail communities! We are trying to reward users for their quality and keep them active on the platform. Steemstem has been doing great and gathered valuable sp delegations (we thank those users for that).
Now, I would like to do something to help the greek community a little. Unfortunately we don't have many strong users backing us up (@onceuponatime and @liondani are marvellous, but we could use a little more help).
Thanks in advance for your help :)
Well for the now the project is on hold while SP is used for other means, but hopefully there will come a time in the future where I/we can help out.
Thanks for dropping by! :)
I will definitely keep an eye on! Thank you! :D
Giving back to the community is a blessing and you are part of that blessing. I thank @fulltimegeek who delegated steem power to you all. Hopefully this would continue.
You people are really helping the steemit community specially newbies for delegating steem power.thanks for helping us☺
you are really helping people the steemit community specially newsbies for delegating steem power..thanks for your post sharing..
Thank you @fulltimegeek for this show of love. A whole lot of us members of the community have benefitted directly and indirectly from this SoG act of love. Now that the power is required to go on a war that will cleanse the land, I wish you all the strength you will need. And @abh12345 thank you for always bringing this report and the analysis you do. We appreciate.
Thank you @abh12345
I have been a beneficiary of the show of love from @fulltimegeek, @abh12345 @lyndsaybowes and every other beneficiary of the SoG.
Thanks. I'm looking forward to a stronger and a more robust platform.
Thank you once more..

It is disappointing how greed of just a single person can cause such a rippling effect on our eco system to the point things have to be put on hold to deal with it.
It is a shame while programs like this where out doing as much good as possible other people on the site decided to take advantage of situations to the point we arrive at today. Power has to recentralized to deal with people those as few people as possible have to deal with the retaliation of brining balance back into the fold.
Up till now I had no idea of all the people who were given this opportunity. I even know some names on that list! I hope once things are dealt with things can go back to community building.
From what I understand it's not the greed as much as the flags on other accounts that has sparked this action.
But yes, STEEM has such huge potential to offer abundance to so many, and it is a bit of a kick in the teeth when so many are trying to do that, and others are clearly not.
I have to say it's not just 'this' account, many larger accounts are self-voting to high heaven, vote colluding, and in my opinion, not doing it right.
Good luck to you.
