Name the Ecency Whale Contest

in #ecency2 years ago (edited)
There was an initial question posed by @thekittygirl as to what the name of the Ecency whale was, and apparently no one had thought about it before, but now @Melinda010100 has made an interesting contest called "Name the Ecency Whale," and entries need to be done and entered by 4 PM EDT Sunday, September 18, 2022.

Here is the original contest post published by Melinda :

Esie the Ecency Blue Whale


The story begins.... We all be sailin' aboard me pirate ship, The Flying Down, with Capt'n Dreemie. Sailin' fast for Thursday's port, but we be headin' for a hidden sand bar! Unbeknownst to any pirate, this sand bar was newly created in the last storm of the area, and if we hit it - we'd be marooned there for days!
Lo and behold - a massive whale starts headin' our way...
"Capt'n! Whale off the port bow! She's headin' straight for us!!!"
Right before she hits me ship - she crests the water - almost takin' flight over the ship! She creates a MASSIVE SPLASH and wave that begins to push our ship out of the way of the sand bar.
"Blow me down!!! She's trying to steer us off course! All hands on deck!!!" I spin the wheel back on course and try to put us towards our treasure destination - heading BACK towards the sand bar.

Now... The Blue Whale is the largest and most majestic of all of the animals on Earth, and Esie the Ecency Blue Whale was creating a huge wave that she created with astonishing accuracy and speed, and it lifted us up and shot us over the sand bar by a long shot (she values people and loves to help them). The tiller did me no good, as we were surfin' the wave (hangin' ten, as it were hahahaha) at the very crest until we set down on the other side of the sand bar!

She was looking out for us because we were heading for the sand bar at too great a speed, and that would have wedged us up pretty far on the bar to where it would be impossible to tow us off and would have damaged the hull pretty badly. If you don't believe me just ask the captain and crew of the USS Minnow when they went on their 3 hour tour and got stuck!!! They were on that island for 3 seasons! Oh, but the good ol' days!

It would have been fine by me though, if we had been stuck there because I think that Maroon 5 is there and can sing for us while we get to search for the treasure and entertain us until the ship's lower extremities are checked and we get help from two or three of the other pirate ships, maybe the USPS (United States Pirate Ship) @dreemsteem booty bounty (sorry mateys, reckless boo boo - must be the rum makin' us rummy - hahahaha) pirate ship as she performs rescues all the time arrrrrhhh and she could tow us off this sand bar if we got stuck, as long as it wasn't too far up!!!

So Esie the Ecency whale then shot around us and gently guided us back to the sandbar so we could anchor just off of it and row into the treasure area with the rowboats to get the treasure. So, now we have the treasure, no tugs required, and we're on our way with our rum rummy party tonight back out in the open seas with our mateys coming in their pirate ships as well! Aye, me mateys will be so happy!!! We have a perfect sharing count also, the pirate's code: one for me, aye, one for you; six for me, one for you hahahahahahaha!!!! Blimey!!! Don't cheat me or you'll walk the plank!!!

That would be totally awesome @irisworld! How old is your niece?
One young lady said it was "smooth," which is totally cool, and may be awesome for a young audience! On your mention of reading to your niece, it reminds me maybe I should send it to my daughter to spread to all the grandkids and my great grand daughter who is 4!
I actually have another short story of something that happened to me at work if you want to read it to her, it's called "The Creek."
https://ecency.com/freewrite/@jamerussell/the-creek

She is 4 too. And she loves whales, dolphins and all 'big cute fishes' as she calls them :))
Your story is written like a fairy tale. Easy, funny, kind and exciting at the same time. I will share with you my niece's feedback :))

And thanks for sharing another story too. I will read it right now!)

If I can find it in the next couple of minutes I will DM you something on Discord for her, you will like it.

Actually, Elencie was one, Emma was another one; I'll try to remember the rest. They were all pretty neat!!! Hehehe

James, you wrote! Yay! Cute little story and I love the name that you gave to the Ecency whale... Esie is awesome❣️ ye be walking the line with the booty bounty hahaha... long walk off a short plank might be in your future 🤣🤣🤣 You be lucky that Capt'n Dreemie has the best sense of humour hahaha. So great to see a post from you in Dreemport 💗 !LUV !ALIVE

@jamerussell! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @samsmith1971. (2/10)

The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.

My best friends generally have the best sense of humor, unless you go to their dark side, which is NOT a good thing; you and her are both in that category with Britt, Miss Kitty, snook, and viking-ventures. You all have a totally amazing sense of humor and can write well which I do admire very much even though I don't write too often.
Hahahaha, don't want to over do it hahahahahaha!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I should probably submit this in DreemPort, which would be my first submission lol!

too bad I am late, but I am growing my Ecency stake as well :D

You are not too late to make up a name as I had posted incorrect information and no one had told me, it was only because I reread it as is my custom a day or two later for any bad info or links. Sunday at 4PM EDT which I believe is 12:00 UTC.

Well, I think that the whale would like to be called Moby Hive, in memory of the famous Moby Dick
