The Mesopotamians System Status, Week 18

This is a weekly update of the status of @themesopotamians system.

Thanks to @bigotemaifriend for making our second user delegation. He added 100 SP to this account this morning.

We made 17 SP this week (plus some SBD I didn't count) despite posting being very low, which is encouraging. Curation posts will be starting again later today and we'll be back to each account posting 2x/week. I think it's reasonable to look for 25/week in the current state and 50/week once Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh are up. Which isn't a ton but is a reasonable start.

The Mesopotamians is a project to use ongoing support and gamification to encourage account growth and build a class of community-minded minnows and eventually dolphins. This project is run by @tcpolymath.

The Mesopotamians uses a six-level system of automated votes to encourage specific users to invest in their accounts and make community contributions. As a user progresses up the levels the value of vote they receive increases. Before advancing to each new level a user will be asked to envision, develop, and implement a new project with community benefit.

The Mesopotamians is an outgoing support initiative, not a vote-trading scheme. Support from our members is appreciated but not in any way required.

Users are chosen for the program by @tcpolymath in a completely-unfair and usually-opaque selection process based on what he thinks is important for the community and who he thinks would be a good dolphin someday. He's giving his own money away here so he's ok with that, but it's best to be upfront about it.
