Hello there! Welcome to our digital spaceship castle. ![spaceshipcastle.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP1tHZKcGB3BRZpw4nZzCuf1QV8zCQ1f4qujHuH5Gt5rR/spaceshipcastle.jpg) Artwork credit - @jimramones on steemit Hey there. Apologies again for the delay. Both of our regular judges were too busy, part of this has been because of recent events happening in regard to steem. Even I got a bit caught up in it and spent a considerable amount of time researching and also expressing some of my thoughts. It looks like the chain is splitting and a good portion of the community is moving to "Hive". So... I'm not exactly totally sure how this is going to work in regard to the IFC... But, I think I'll probably post the results of the last few rounds in both places. And when we get to the finals I'll probably do the same and post in both places, as... I'm just not sure if everyone is moving over or what's going on. It's rather confusing and concerning and I'm a bit frustrated by some of the choices and things that happened, though, also a bit optimistic about the possibilities as well. It was pretty much decided by a smaller group of some of the bigger names in the community without the broader community knowing... So, we either go with it or get left behind or some may use both if they have the time. Though, both might not survive. Some think the old chain will die without a good portion of the passionate part of the community. So, a lot of sort of powering down and wanting out. Others though don't appear to be giving up on steem and... Like with many things in life... I guess time will tell... Oh, by the way... I was able to get two guest judges from @steemterminal to help. @sgt-dan and @drakernoise They offered to do it for free so I donated the pay to the steemterminal. It's great to have the help! And much appreciated. Thanks to them we can continue. And with that said... Let's move on to the results. ![round results.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWEbdMX4pjNWEyagLqFhX7aYiNUuM6QMBHgSxA3i87g5F/round%20results.png) Vote Round 17 apolymask - I'm giving 1 vote to ayushjalan and also 1 vote to leaky20 for creating entries that were both very detailed, comprehensive and helpful to newcomers, I even learned a few things which is great and am also giving 1 point to jbreheny for helping a kid learn to play music, I think that's really cool just in general! sgt-dan - Of all the entries that have been submitted for the IFC S2R17, which were all very well done, this post is my pick for being the best! Well written and understandable Comprehensive explanation of the STEEM eco-system without being too technical The use of graphics to help in getting the message across Therefore; along with an upvote, I give this post... 3 Points ayushjalan drakernoise - 2 votes to this one ayushjalan the-ultimate-newbie-guide-to-steemit-entry-for-ifc-s2r17 A very well structured and useful guide for those newcomers or those lost on our ecosystem. He also adds an added value with some cool personal advices. 1 vote to this one A very useful and practical approach for those that wanna a fast way to grow on our ecosystem. It has a “hidden” value I appreciate apart from the obvious message. Those following the instructions will be building a community spirit without even noticing! leaky20 Total is.. @ayushjalan - 6 @leaky20 - 2 @jbreheny - 1 Congrats on another well deserved win ayushjalan! It's looking like you're probably going to finish off the second regular season of the IFC in #1st place. I'm not sure if it's 100% for sure yet, but, you've got a decent lead now with only a few rounds left to judge. Nice work man. ![leaderboard.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYQN9NFsxFgM9rYPzoqGv35mDkn1JVFEY8FAV5tuvfLzx/leaderboard.png) Wins-XP-Level I was a little unsure about how to do the leaderboard this season without being too confusing, so... I'm going to put those who have won points from season 2 on top, and will keep those from season 1 on the bottom. I think at the end of the season I will likely combine both season 1 and 2 scores together. If you played in season 1 you still have your exp and items, I'm just showing it this way so it's easier to keep track of who is in their proper ranking place during the new season. Also if you scored any points so far you are automatically entered into the finals as it only takes 1 point this season to get entered into the finals. Players from last season will not be entered into the finals unless they score at least 1 point during this new season 2. Season 2 stats. @ayushjalan 4-43-0 @jbreheny 2-26-0 previous season score is 1-12-0 @shaheerbari 2-22-0 @bengy 1-22-0 previous season score is 1-10-0 @leaky20 1-22-0 @lordless.exile 2-18-0 @simplymike 1-10-0 previous season score is 1-08-0 @nmcdougal94 1-09-0 @wholeself-in 1-09-0 previous season score is 1-09-0 @ecoinstant 0-09-0 @bloggerkrunal 0-09-0 @mistakili 1-08-0 @plushzilla 0-06-0 previous season score is 3-30-0 @owietus 0-05-0 @bashadow 0-02-0 previous season score is 4-43-1 @quotes-haven 0-01-0 @sassypuffin 0-01-0 Season 1 stats. kryptocek 6-53-1 Sacred Crystal bashadow 4-43-1 ??? plushzilla 3-30-0 amariespeaks 3-23-0 har5h 2-59-1 KryptoCheck Shield iexplore 2-36-0 eaglespirit 2-35-0 mr-bike 2-18-0 youhavewings 2-16-0 jan23com 1-48-1 Occult book + eye sandrina.life 1-14-0 jbreheny 1-12-0 artgirl 1-11-0 magicalmoonlight 1-11-0 bengy 1-10-0 swolesome 1-09-0 wholeself-in 1-09-0 kenneth1 1-09-0 warpedpoetic 1-09-0 auminda 1-09-0 simplymike 1-08-0 xomegax 1-08-0 now a judge bitpizza 1-07-0 losthippie 1-07-0 boladayl 1-06-0 noisyboy 1-05-0 giddyupngo 1-05-0 grizzman 0-08-0 deliberator 0-04-0 sophiabydesign 0-02-0 lynncoyle1 0-01-0 nxtblg 0-01-0 yura81 0-01-0 mnallica 0-01-0 lahvista 0-01-0 chrisroberts 0-01-0 laurawhite 0-01-0 beeyou 0-01-0 gerrardihno 0-01-0
