The Mesopotamians System Status, Week 5

This is a weekly update of the status of @themesopotamians system.

I got a way-too-good-to-refuse offer to lease my delegation this week, so my own votes into the system are going to drop significantly for a month or so. In return I get a nice boost of liquidity that will solidify my financial ability to launch Hammurabi in September as planned.

Financial ability isn't the only concern, though. I'm not quite running at capacity operating the accounts and making these posts but it would sure be nice to make them easier before we expand too much. So my goal for the rest of July is to get the voting system automated, with the hope that I can have it running by the time I leave for Copenhagen on August 7. Then after I get back from August 18 on I'll be working on automating the statistics posts. Once those things are done, we should be able to get the whole system going in time to support our current users as they move up in levels.

This week I'm going to be moving around the voting of the inactive accounts, because we got a surprise delegation from @davemccoy and it might be nice to be able to accept others. If you want to comment on that please see the previous post here.

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.
