Throughout history, nothing has generated more innovation and creativity in humans like a good conflict (for a noble or not so noble cause). But here on Steemit we prefer the type of mayhem that results in a positive outcome rather than death and destruction, so in the spirit of promoting teamwork and collaboration (and some comments from other steemians) lets all rally for the cause of creating something new and interesting that only steemians can.
Currently on the Discord PAL server there are a number of countries that lay claims different realms within steemitopia, in no particular order: #teamasutralia (okay, this was a personal bias), #teamcanada, #teamnl, #teamfrench, #teamgb, #teambrazil, #teamvenezuela and #teammexico. I think there is also #teamusa and hopefully a #teamtaiwan out there somewhere too and perhaps we need some friendly competition to get our creative juices going.
In the interest of promoting goodwill and collaboration between steemians across different countries, I think it would be a really interesting concept to have each country propose a challenge to another country that involves steemians working together to solve a problem and see which country comes up with the best solution.
If you are a member of a team that is associated with a particular country and want to participate, then you are more than welcomed to put together a team as well. I am not sure where this concept is going but if other people are also interested and want to be involved organizing it then I am sure this will turn into something very creative and rewarding.
For now I want to put some thoughts and ideas together (starting with this post) and see if we can get something going.
Let's all do our part to #makesteemitgreat-again, and work on something that is #onlyonsteemit!
