Attention All Alliance Members!!
The Mothership is coming!

Be sure you get on board!

For Those of you that do not know what The Mothership is...

The Mothership is your place of refuge.
It is designed to help all #thealliance members.
Providing much needed energy to all members for all of your upcoming battles.
It is approaching now and is very near.

What is required...

1. Send 1 steem per month to @themothership.
2. Make a permanent delegation of 30 Steem to @themothership.
   • If you do not have 30 Steem to delegate you can opt to send an extra 1 Steem (2 Steem Total) per month until you are able to delegate the required 30 sp.

What you will get as a member...

1. A 100% upvote on your most recent post, from @themothership each time it cycles back around to your account.
   • By the math we have done you should get your 1 Steem back each month and should even double it.

How it all works...

We are having a bot made to handle this account.
@yabapmatt is designing this bot and will have it done soon. Please be sure to show @yabapmatt your support, he is a huge help in all of this!

The bot is simple. It is designed to cycle through our list of members that have paid their dues, find that person's most recent post and give it a 100% upvote. Then it moves to the next person in order.

It will vote like this every 2.4 hrs, each time voting on a different members most recent post, eventually cycling back to the beginning of the list again and starting over. 1 vote per person per cycle.

Currently we have around 150ish members. With 10 votes per day, and a 30 day month, each member will receive around 2 votes per month.

How the Steem will be used...

All Steem that is sent from members will be used to purchase delegation for @themothership. This will boost the account and make all of our votes worth much more. The delegation is used for the exact same purpose.

Assuming 150 members here is how the account will build...

1. 150 members x 30 delegated sp = 4500 delegated sp
2. 150 members x 1 steem per month = 150 steem per month to buy delegation with.
   • 4 week purchase will be an added 5625 delegated sp
   • 12 week purchase (unavailable at the moment) will be an added 2000+ sp and would overlap some each month giving us the best return.
3. With 150 members the account should have a minimum of 10,000 delegated sp. This will also begin to grow each month from curation and as we grow in size.
4. Currently (prices being high like they are right now) That will produce a 100% upvote of just over $3. As you can see all members are getting their Steem back each month from these dues.

Things all members should know...

1. Once this is going this will be mandatory for all Alliance members.
2. If your most recent post is older than 7 days you will be skipped and not get a vote until next cycle.
   • Posting regularly has always been a requirement for membership so this should not be an issue for anyone.
3. We are not trying to make money from this. This is designed simply as a boost for all members.
4. This is for core members and for syndicate members alike.
5. All membership dues paid to @themothership will be used to purchase delegation for the account to boost it for everyone.
6. If you would like to delegate extra sp just to help the team you can. It will not get you anything extra. This is designed to treat us all 100% equally.
7. If you would like to donate more Steem than your monthly amount you can send it to @michaeldavid with the memo "mothership donation". @michaeldavid will then purchase more delegation for it with that donation.
   • If you send extra steem, the bot will treat it as another month of your membership if you send it directly to @themothership. This is why all extra donations will go to @michaeldavid and he will convert it.
   • You also have the option to purchase extra delegation for the account if you like from block trades. Again you will not get anything extra for doing this it just adds to what is helping the whole alliance.
8. All Steem/Sbd made from this account from any source (posts, members etc...) will go to purchasing delegation for the account. So feel free to upvote or even buy bot votes for @themothship posts as it ultimately helps all of us.

If you have any further questions...

For all further questions please see your syndicate leader.
If you do not know your syndicate leader, or for information about #thealliance, please see this post.
If you are a core member you can ask @michaeldavid in discord and I will happy to help you understand it all.

If I have left anything out I will add it in a future update.

Thanks for reading,
