Ja, jener... ;-)

Sheep

The operation on the farm will be discontinued.
Purely privately, of course, I keep my three bucks. Maybe I will buy another 10-15 girls from the farmer. That depends on how much land he can lease me.
The plans to let Elton become a daddy, however, are canceled for now.
There will be no more cheese production, the farm is broke.
All that will happen now is just a great, time-consuming (and expensive) hobby. I look forward to this with mixed feelings - but at the moment I'm just sad that all the effort of the last few weeks has not been enough for the farm nor for most of the sheep. I'll write more about this sometime.... :-(

There’s too much of a focus on contests and engagement challenges which simply don’t interest me.

Me not either. Nor most of the longtime Steemians. And certainly not people from outside.

I think that the interactions with the people will become the best part of the game.

Yes, it already is a lot of fun!

I suspect that the person in the team that we liked who would comment occasionally has left Steemit.

I think so too. What else was left to the person, who after all seemed to have had a few ideal ideas?!
What happened is a disgrace. Now we have a pool full of blind beggars who think Steemit is the sc. Argh, better not think about it! Let's rather have fun in Steemit City!
