In addition to winning the clay Steem dollar, kenny-crane has also won 100 Steem dollars for his overwhelming kindness and welcoming of new Steem users. I first noticed kenny-crane's ability to give quality feedback when he began commenting on my posts. I then noticed that so many new Steemit users were welcomed by him and I was very much in shock. His kindness really made a difference in here.
Kenny-crane did not know he would be receiving 100 Steem dollars. He only thought he'd been receiving the clay Steem dollar. His winning story can be found here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@kenny-crane/the-thought-experiment-an-original-story
Here's an excerpt from his story:
"Giving in to the pain, the man moved as little as possible. In fact, movement of every sort decreased. He made no move to work out the issues in his mind, or move to improve his soul. He spent his time online, in meaningless anonymous chatter, avoiding any connection that could lead to further pain if it ceased.
On one particularly sunny morning, he found a small package at his door. Inside was a hand made clay tablet whose background was painted with a scene from a scientist's lab; bubbling steeming flasks connected via coiled tubes eventually dripping various shades of blue liquids into test tubes." -
CONGRATULATIONS @KENNY-CRANE!
