The Mesopotamians System Status, Week 4 update
This is a weekly update of the status of @themesopotamians system.
The price went up enough last week that the system brought in more money than the weekly cost of @particleman's delegation for the first time. I wouldn't call it cash-flow positive because I'm still feeding in plenty of votes and delegation (and also SP isn't cash) but it's progress toward both the medium- and long-term goals. I'm dedicating all the income from the active accounts and this one to growing their SP with the idea of getting to self-sufficiently as fast as possible. The inactive accounts are building up a small cash reserve.

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 @tcpolymath.
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 @tcpolymath in a completely-unfair and usually-opaque selection process based on what he thinks is important for the community and who he thinks would be a good dolphin someday. He's giving his own money away here so he's ok with that, but it's best to be upfront about it.
