So maybe somebody can explain why this keeps happening to me. I'm sure it is just something I don't understand because I don't see anyone else writing about this phenomenon, but it's driving me nuts. Actually, there are two phenomena (that's multiple phenomenons if you didn't figure that out), but I am thinking they might be related.
#1 - Whenever I upvote a comment in this post, about half the time, it doesn't show that any rewards on the comment. My vote power goes down, but my upvote shows 0.000000. I thought this was associated with the hard fork, but this is still happening on posts I have created since the hard fork.
#2 - Whenever I try to contribute ENGAGE tokens, it does not appear they are being sent. I try to send 5 ENGAGE tokens to everyone that qualifies, but it looks like that feature is no longer working for me.
Does anybody have an explanation for either of these issues?
Well...enough about my trials. Now lets talk about the giveaway. The other day, I made a 12-pack purchase in Rising Star (you can read about that here). Therefore, I have added some new cards to my collection that I can place on the wheel. Since we gave away i16 Cheap Cello last time, I thought I would replace it with a i31 Cheap Decks. I know, I know, it's not a rare, but most of the rares I got were unique cards for me. Maybe I'll get more duplicates the next time I get a 12-pack. Here's what the wheel looks like for today's prize selection:

Rule #1: Read the entire post to make sure you find all of the rules that apply to this giveaway.
Rule #2:
We didn't do quite as well on the participation this time, but we still had 14 people qualify (which is enough for a spin). I think twelve is a good minimum number of qualified participants for this giveaway. BONUS: If we reach 25 qualified participants, I will spin for TWO winners).
So, let's see what the prize will be for this giveaway. And the wheel says...
Now back to the rules for the this giveaway...
Rule #3:
If your Rising Star and/or Splinterlands username is different from the one you commented with, include them in your comment. Or if you want to give your winnings to someone else, enter their username instead and indicate that you want your prize to go to them. However, there can only be ONE entry for each account [for example, if my username is 
The next thing we need to do is fill up the wheel with participants. Here's what the qualifier wheel looked like:
And now for the final rule of this giveaway...
Rule #4:
Please be aware that I use these rules to make sure people are reading the post and to help eliminate bots. IF YOU DO NOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN YOUR REPLY, YOU WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR THIS GIVEAWAY! So the question is...In Rising Star, what is the instrument in your collection with the oddest name (in my 12-pack, I got a R72 Nadaswaram)?
And coincidentally, the winner of the Flame Monkey is...
