Wow! Just wow! It is fantastic that so many people are joining in The Diary Game. And it is great fun reading the posts and learning so much about so many members of the community around the world! We must make a quick apology that we are a little behind on curating all the posts. Don’t worry though, we are diverting more resources to this and making sure every single diary post gets read and voted. To make up for this delay we have another little surprise... --- ### The Prizes - The Only Way is Up!

With all the massive effort so many of you are putting into The Diary Game it seems a bit mean to only give out 1000 STEEM to 8 people. So we are increasing the total prize pool and increasing the number of prizes. **The prize pool is now 2750 STEEM in total…** * **1st place - 1000 STEEM** * **2nd place - 750 STEEM** * **3rd place - 500 STEEM** * **4th place - 250 STEEM** * **5th place - 125 STEEM** Plus five runner up prizes of 25 STEEM each. This definitely sounds like something worth tweeting about… **If you do fancy tweeting about #thediarygame and these great new prizes, put your screenshots and Twitter links in the comments below and some nice upvotes could be heading your way!** --- ### Five Ways to Earn Points

As well as upvotes every qualifying diary post also earns points towards the final prizes. Each post can earn up to 5 points for the content of the post and up to 5 points for the social promotion of the post. Along with bonus point options there are now five ways you can earn points…

Promotion Points (0 - 5)
