#thealliance Witnesses
- 'The Dark Templar' is a unique witness that has 3 things putting him above and beyond most other witnesses. The voting bot 
is his pet, and probably gives you the best ROI of any bot out there. The 
he runs gives users the best APR for deposits on the entire Steemit platform. Those two alone should be enough to say he's providing extreme value to the blockchain, but let's throw in the fact that he HASN'T MISSED A SINGLE BLOCK in his efforts which puts him in an elite class of witnesses. He is currently ranked #78 and there are only 2 others ranked above him with this amount of stability in securing our STEEM production.

TRAINEES
We are being much more selective as to who we let into #thealliance as part of our goals are to bring value to the platform with quality posts. We're not saying that people can't go out and make it just fine without being a trainee, what we are saying, is that we are willing to help people **GET BETTER** and become **NOTICED STEEMIANS** in these oceans and waterways. Our 'trainee' program is proving to be a huge success as our new graduating allies are putting out some excellent 'work'! Being a trainee doesn't necessarily mean you don't have great content, some people may be put there to see about their consistency, others to follow their engagement with the community as a whole. Being an 'Ally' does not ONLY mean you have great content, it means that you are also a consistent Steempeep and support your allies.
Current Trainees Are:
Contests
#thealliance currently hosts three contests and supports several others. We have the daily cryptoguess contest, and two weekly ones, karaoke and the all new killerpix. We also support fellow allies' contests. has a dance contest, and does a resteem lottery. supports & 
hosts the Beer Saturday contest. did a meme challenge this week and has a writing contest. We have two ladies doing art contests, and . Also, does a selfie photo contest on Sundays. 
hosts a writing contest. does a weekly crypto lottery that's pretty interesting, and also has a Steemit lottery. We also are supporters of the Open Mic contest which is the oldest music competition here on Steemit run by 
with full support from 
& are entering a full year in weekly contests. They also support our Karaoke Contest and we have several members that compete regularly in Open Mic. If there are any other contests members are doing, feel free to put the links and a brief description in the comments below.

Syndicates
This is big word, I know. LOL! The definition of a syndicate is: a group of individuals or organizations combined to promote some common interest. That common interest is #thealliance and our members. Each syndicate is like a branch of #thealliance. Another sub-group or pod of content creators that are under our watchful curation eye. The first three syndicates will be run by the following people and their servers will be set up soon. Alpha Syndicate leaders will be and . Beta Syndicate leaders will be and as this will be a primarily Spanish speaking one. Gamma Syndicate leaders will be and . Their 'job' is the same as ours as core members, but they also have to run their syndicates with allied interest in mind. They will review new applicants just like we have been, and decide whether or not they are quality. Anyone can join their server once it is set up, but they'll be running it themselves.
We will get with all of you later and go over the details :)

If you watch the video, you'll know everything that was said. The group is getting tighter, which is exactly what we want. The only suggestions I have that wasn't brought up, is giving your allies a boost. Say for example, the contests that are run. Cross-posting is a highly effective way to bring attention to each other's engagement with the Steemit community. Hit those comments. And resteeems? You can do all or none, that's personal preference, but my other suggestion is this: perhaps link a post or two that you liked from an ally, that was relevant or you just naturally enjoyed at the end of your post?
