A Frikkin Hashtag: #IWokeUpAndDecided

How focused are you at the beginning of a day? We decided to find out in our latest game…

[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag game. @AFrikkinHashtag [say it out loud] is South Africa’s #1 Hashtag game and is always a lot of fun. The F.L.O.P. [or Fish List Of Prizeworthyness] is the collection of some of the best tweets from each week’s game and is what all seriously comedic Hashtaggers aspire to…]

For this game we had the amazing Richard aka @FeeBooths co-hosting with us. We had been enjoying Richard’s tweets for a long time in AFH and were super stoked when he decided to jump on board.

We sent out invitations:

And then we started the game with a few examples of our own:

#IWokeUpAndDecided to let my mates at the office know how much I appreciate them.

#IWokeUpAndDecided I’m gonna get me a fun tattoo…

Richard got quickly into the vibe:

Throwing in this amazing Misdirectional one:

This was a great game for Trending as we hit the US as per usual but also South Africa and the UK which are much harder wins:

A number of favourite bots stuck their heads in to see what was up:

And then there was you. And we know it’s always about you. With thousands of tweets passing through, we most definitely did not get to them all, but some of the ones we saw and thought were worthy we grabbed to put on this week’s:

Thank you everybody for playing – we hope that you had as much fun as we did and we really appreciate those of you who have to tweak your game to keep in with the FAMILY spirit in which we try to play AFH. Huge shoutout to The UnNamed Ones as always – my behind-the-scenes crew who keep the game going long into the night, morning and afternoon depending on which country they are from. And also to the @HashtagRoundup which is the FREE app where you can stay on top of all the latest Hashtag games that are being played…

Hope to see you next week and til then how about we continue to keep the WIT and not the twit, in the Twitterer…
love brett fish anderson and No_bob the stuffed dolphin
