I'm trying out a new header today, with some nice orange in the background. It felt a little more like Halloween! What do you think?

Let's get going into the giveaway for this week. Sunday means it's time for another ten HSBI and two DUO token giveaway. However this is the second and final bonus edition to celebrate the 30th week of the initiative. in addition to the ten HSBI, DUO tokens, and Splinterlands card giveaway I've added in one more prize of 5 HSBI and 5 more DUO tokens. It's a pretty juicy prize this weekend!

This is how it will go, the usual four spins with their normal prizes. Then two bonus spins, first bonus spin wins 5 HSBI and the second bonus spin wins 5 DUO tokens!

Before we get into the prize winners I always like to go over the responses to the entry question for last week. The question was: Who is your favorite super villain? The uncontested champion chosen by the voters was: The Joker!

The Joker


fanpop.com


fanpop.com

Picking which Joker to use here is a hard one for me. I loved Jack Nicholson's performance in the 1989 Tim Burton Batman movie. Then there was Heath Ledger's performance of a very dark and psychologically twisted joker. So I included pictures of both, they were my favorite Jokers! We had three people pick him overall, and it's hard to argue with the pick. Some Joker performances have been much better than others, and Jared Leto's version just plain sucked.... Thanks to @silvertop , @ronnie10 and @servelle for your votes!

Harley Quinn


genirdgqkx.blogspot.com

And for the second week in a row Harley Quinn is back in the lineup with two votes from @kerrislravehhill and @whywhy ! My favorite version was definitely Margot Robbie, blending beauty with absolute insanity. Thanks for your votes, a great pick!

Venom


hdqwalls.com

Venom got two votes as well coming from @chaosmagic23 and @kungfukid . This Spiderman villain is a classic and makes appearances in several movies including his own Venom movies. The second is slated for release on October 25 this year. It should make for a some fun Halloween viewing!

Loki


reason.com

Only one vote for Loki from @henruc , and it's hard to argue otherwise after Tom Hiddleston brought the character to life like never before. The irony about that is he was auditioning for the part of Thor when they cast him as Loki, but great actors can even turn villains into heroes as we saw in the two seasons of the Loki miniseries on Disney+. If you haven't seen the show yet it's one of the best Marvel has done is some time now!

Magneto


pinterest.com

This was a tough pick on who to picture for Magneto, ultimately I had to choose Ian McKellan. Not only did he play a great Magneto, but is an acclaimed Shakespearean actor. That's not to say I didn't like Michael Fassbender in the role as well, he was great. Two great actors, one played the aging Magneto and the other the young version. Magneto tried to stand up for his fellow mutants to fight for their survival against humans who fear them. A very common theme in fights over the eons in human history, only no mutants were ever involved. Great pick! Thanks @gwajnberg !

Lex Luthor


mundosuperman.com

Luthor is hard to pick an actor that really portrayed him properly. He is the arch enemy of Superman and is incredibly wealthy and cunning. Kind of like a Batman or iron Man who really hates Superman. We've seen the Batman version of that fight, although I nearly fell asleep watching that long movie disaster... I keep hoping to see a proper Lex one of these days... Thanks @logen9f for this great pick!

Megatron


fictionhorizon.com

The enemy of the the Optimus Prime and the Autobots is Megatron leading his army of Deceptacons. I remember watching the original Transformers cartoons when I was a kid, but the movies changed how they looked entirely. After all Hollywood has to make everything over the top... Megatron is a great villain, thanks for this great choice by @ryosai !

We did have some other great picks but this was starting to get a little long to feature them all. We did get a vote for Hunter X from Dragon Ball by @olaf.gui , Darkseid from Marvel or Sephiroth for Final Fantasy 7 by @shiftrox . And last but not least Majin Buu by @sieghard1990 ! Thank you everyone who participated!

Well, onto to today's contest, this one should be a lot of fun to hear all of your answers! I just can't resist, because it was superheroes last week, let's do the opposite this week: Are you a coffee or tea drinker? If so, what is you favorite kind? If you don't like either, what do you like to drink?

The Giveaway

I will be giving out two prizes of five (5) HSBI. Third prize will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. There will also be one legendary Splinterlands card as a fourth prize. If you don't play Splinterlands just let me know and I'll send you an HSBI instead. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.

If you have more questions about DUO feel free to ask, it's growth is exceeding all of our expectations!

Legendary Splinterlands card up for grabs this next week:

A level 1 Void Dragon, this one is a great card!

If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week. The list so far is rather short:

@hiveborgminer
@kungfukid
@stekene
@elizabethbit
@ronnie10
@whywhy
@cositav

How to Enter

Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question is an easy one:
Are you a coffee or tea drinker? If so, what is you favorite kind? If you don't like either, what do you like to drink?

HSBI

If you are unfamiliar with the prize you can learn more here:

Choosing the Winners

All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second prize will be another 5 HSBI units. And the third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize is a legendary Splinterlands card or one HSBI unit! And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?

Deadline

Please note I am changing it to earlier on Sunday to make it easier on me if I'm headed out for the day
One week from today which will be Sunday October 20, 2024 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.

Now to choose last week's lucky winners!

I don't believe you play the game, but I prefer to always ask first!

1st bonus spin for 5 HSBI

Congratulations @chaosmagic23 ! You have won 5 HSBI units! Second win of the day!

I want to thank everyone for their support, without it I wouldn't be able to give out these prizes to help people grow their Hive accounts. Have a great rest of your weekend!

And since I am posting this in the #freecompliments community, I just want to remind everyone to take a few minutes to be kind today. Your kindness can make a big difference in someone's life!

I'm the same. A nice dark roast with hints of chocolate or caramel in there. One of the best I ever had was limited edition from Honduras, it was amazing. I keep trying to find something equally rich without paying big bucks for it!

I've only been following you for a week, I don't know how I got here but I feel comfortable reading your posts, now that I see you have a weekly contest I also do one on Saturdays and Thursdays TBT.

I like the phrase that says. I'm looking for commitment instead of saying I'm in.

I want to have the commitment of being named on your weekly reminder list.

Coffee above all else. although I don't deny that green tea is very good. but I'm going with coffee.

You made me have a little inspiration for a post, can I mention you in that post and reference this post.

I love coffee first thing in the morning, nothing quite like it. I'm a big dark roast fan and drink it straight without cream or sugar. Tea is good too, but more late in the day when I want less caffeine punch.

I like engagement, it's a lot more interesting to get to know people. I love that you take your time and give more than a short sentence. I'll check out your contests for sure and I'll put you on the tag list next week. I like my Sunday contest because I can ask different things every week. It gives me a chance to learn new things and share them as well. It's a lot of fun.

Glad to inspire, I'll need to find some for my post tomorrow. I have nothing planned yet at all... I'll figure something out tomorrow!

Robusta does add a nice blast of flavor and extra caffeine. Most coffee these days here in the US is pure Arabica...

I am a coffee drinker! I'm a coffee snob as well, because we fresh roast our own and no store bought previously roasted beans will do! I actually prefer my decaf beans to regular caffeinated beans. I like both, but since I roast, I am extremely picky about the green beans. They MUST be water processed. There are 3 methods to creating decaf coffee. One (never drink this stuff!) is chemical decaffeination. I can smell the chemicals! It's awful and not good for you! The second one is considered natural, and If the third one isn't available for some reason, then this method is second best. I still avoid it. It uses carbon dioxide to decaffeinate the beans. The BEST method is simple water! That's they type of beans I always choose. Also, the cupping notes must reflect, earthy, chocolaty, woodsy flavors, before I will purchase the beans.

Of the regular caffeinated variety, the same cupping notes must be present before I'll purchase the beans. Of the caffeinated varieties, I prefer our Glacier Creek Breakfast blend.

So, a coffee snob I am!😁☕️☕️☕️☕️

I agree, the water method is the only way to make decaf. Methyl chloride just ruins the flavor of the coffee. Roasting the beans yourself gets them just the way you want and you get to choose your source. Coffee has to be good, I don't like cheap coffee much, it lacks depth and richness!

Is it !WEIRD that I like both? There's no better drink to go along with sweet cakes than some black, unsweetened coffee. But I also love to drink iced tea almost as much as I enjoy drinking soda, and I always buy some soda when I order !PIZZA which I do around once a week.

Back to coffee and tea, I think the first one is better with milk than the last one and I doubt I will ever change my mind about that.

I love dark roast unsweetened coffee myself, no cream or sugar. Just ruins the flavors I find. Iced tea is great for the afternoon I find. Finding good tea can be hard, I like to make my ice tea at home so it's just the way I like it!

Thanks for the draws, I'm glad I won! Well, I'm on the coffee team, it doesn't matter how I drink it, I just don't like it when they make it without sugar, it's too strong and I don't like it very much. Now one that I love is cappuccino, ahhh, coffee of the gods!

Your welcome! You can never have too much DUO! I'm the opposite on the sugar, I like dark roast black with no cream or sugar. But it has to be good dark roast with hints of chocolate or caramel in the background. It's hard to find inexpensive coffee that is really good!

I rarely drink coffee or tea. It's not that I don't like tea but I don't love it. Coffee, I like the smell, but since I sometimes have trouble falling asleep, I avoid coffee, unless I'm very tired. Still, if I drink it it's only in the morning, to reduce the chances of it affecting my sleep. What I enjoy drinking is beer! I don't drink it that often anymore, but in my college days, I did a lot!

I'm a coffee drinker. Not a day goes by without me having coffee. The problem is, I love coffee so much that I end up drinking a lot in a day, sometimes up to 4 mugs. There are even times when I drink coffee at night. Last year, my acid levels increased because I was drinking too much coffee. I was really busy during that time, and I think I was drinking up to 10 mugs a day. My only issue is that when I feel too lazy to make black decaf coffee with sugar, I just go for instant coffee, even though I know it contains artificial sugar, which isn’t good for the body.

Oh, and please add me to your list of people to remind. Thanks!
