Awesome answer. I take the curation seriously. I always have.

I get the idea of tribes. I'm just not sure how they work. Are they all based on their hashtags, and tokens? I earn PAL by tagging PAL, but also see people tagging Neoxian a lot and CreativeCoin a lot. I tagged Neoxian once, but I can't see that I earned any tokens by doing it. I've looked at Steem Engine, but still not sure exactly how to use it. I have an idea for a token, but I want to be sure I have to time to promote before implementing it. So many questions ....

I agree about regaining status. Maybe the SMTs will help.
