This is a weekly update of the status of 
The curation rewards increases are definitely beginning to show up in the system SP - we gained 17.5 SP across the system this week, and while I need to separate that out into posts and curation when things are back to normal, it's largely curation. it's going to be November before we get a really good look at how that's going, with the voting power gap last week and the posting gap from last week and next week.
We will not be posting at all over the next week, because I really need to take a full-scale break from Steem. I'm going to Montreal later today and I'm going to spend my week reading, drawing, seeing some friends I haven't in a while, eating excellent Montreal food, and hopefully catching up on my sleep debt.
The voting bots should continue to run but I won't have access to them if something breaks. They seem to be pretty stable at this point but a power outage here or something could knock them out, in which case they'll end up waiting until I get home.

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
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
