This is a weekly update of the status of 
Hey, we made minnow. Weird week for it.
So here's where we are. We're going into quiet mode at least temporarily. Voting will continue, level projects and extra rewards for them will continue to be available, but the accounts are not going to post, except possibly this one. I will work on getting the stats-posting bot working; no guarantees but I do have less demand on my time than usual this weekend. Curation posting will probably not be coming back anytime soon, and we will not be adding new levels or new users at this time. That decision will come later.
I'm not super-enthusiastic right now but resisting heavy-handed authoritarianism seems to be the name of the game everywhere these days, so it's not like I can get rid of it by leaving Steem. I feel better after talking to some of the witnesses who are either opposed to the 50/50 plan or require a lot more evidence to move forward with it. I have hopes that everyone will now contentrate on SteemFest and the whole thing will blow over.
And I figured out some actions which I can take to maybe make a difference, which is always going to make me feel better than sitting around waiting to be messed with.

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
