2017 was a hard year for a lot of people and also the shtupids were out in full force and so we looked to encourage people to up their game with a tag called #ICanDoBetterBy

[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6 am 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…]

We had been enjoying Silver Eye aka @Sb_spark for a while now and were amped when he decided to join in and co-host AFH with me:

Silver Eye Hashtag game better

…and soon we were sending out invitations:

And starting with a few examples, you know, just to move things along:

Silver Eye immediately in there showing us his stuff:

We did some pretty amazing trending and stuck around for a while:

Even scoring a mention on SA Social Trends:

A number of our bot friends dropped by, including:

And then there was you. You guys didn’t let us down. And just know that with 6 hours of trending tweets there were a whole bunch that were good enough to F.L.O.P. but we are not Pokemon Go and so cannot catch ’em all… but the ones that did grab our attention were these and we celebrate by announcing this week’s

FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS [F.L.O.P.]

John got us off on an amazing journey of self-reflection:

Which Jimmy grabbed and ran with:

Tom also helped us aim at a better place:

Cameron reminding us that for the most part how we respond to life is key:

Richard scored misdirection points by heading us a whole different way:

While Paul jumped straight to the obvious:

Believer looked to trust more:

While Fletch thought we needed to aim a little higher:

Tom scored some misdirection points for this great workout routine:

While i resonated a little with Don’t Think So on this one:

Fletch was back and encouraging us not to be caught making a wookie error:

Feels like Daryl is on to something in a #NotOnOurWatch kind of way

As is John with an attitude we adopt and highly recommend and urge:

While Tord-Rune had a tip for all the villains out there:

Doc seemed to be feeling a tinge of regret:

While Stan was committing to be better family #GoForItStan:

While Boss Man speaks for many of us although hopefully not this dramatically:

Rugged was turning a cat-astrophe into a purr-fect solution #YesIWentThere:

I am me discovered some healthy life choices:

Cool Chris looked like he was on to something:

CLo was definitely on to something we need to pass around:

Cheering Ben from the sidelines as this is a great way of thinking and acting #ComeOnMen:

Aquilia was challenging us towards greater things:

While Lisa A had some assembly required:

Derecho seemed to know where to find his peace:

While Steven crushed the pun section of this game:

Rachele had a great perspective:

While Crystal was talking madness:

So many good tweets and if we could all just live by half of the advice on this list [including the cowbell, cos come on!] the world would immediately be a much better place. So many great tweets but five that nudged their way even further and made it all the way on to this week’s

F.L.O.P. FIVE

[5] While you’re reading Klaus’s tweet i will be over here paging through my dictionary:

[4] i could not have said it betterer than Edward:

[3] Top Shelv had this epic advice for us:

[2] H Langley summed so much of the sentiments up in this simple yet deeply profound tweet:

[1] But this week’s TOPPEST TOP TWEET definitely goes to PG Lee and we celebrate with him, as we seek to share his attitude:

What a life-giving game everyone and thanks as always [most of you] for keeping it FAMILY cos those are the tweets we RT and LIKE and Banter with and so on…

Huge shout out to Silver Eye for an excellent co-hostage and The UnNamed Ones for continuing to make these games shine and rock and roll and some other fourth things.

See you next at Wed [oh, that’s today!] at 1pm South African time and 6am EST as we seek to keep the WIT in the Twitterer in one of the most fun and family vibing games there is.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TWITTERVERSE
