Over the past week I faced fierce competition!  Among the competitors were knowledgeable and wise curators, as well as brilliant and creative community leaders.  It is truly an honor to stand alongside every one of them.

Luckily @acidyo, being the perceptive and astute dictator he is, realized this as well.  After he orchestrated a dazzling illusion of choice, the people voted loud and clear that they wanted 20 curators instead of 10.  I have you all to thank you for my appointment and position.  Not just once but TWICE!  As you can see in @acidyo's post here.

I am proud to have had so many honorable steemates vouch for me.  Your support is what gives me the confidence to do what is required and right for the steemit community.

The responsibility is now upon our OCD team to cooperate and cultivate the finest entertainers, educators and authors that make up the bedrock of steemit, while ensuring a sound reward structure to those deserving contributors during their arduous, and often lonely, early days.  We must build upon the success of our colleagues and highlight their accomplishments- as they would ours- to ensure a solid foundation for the limitless growth of our economy, community and personal potential.

The challenge is to learn from our experiences, and the example set forth by others, to realize that we are all capable of tremendous achievements- Especially when working as a team.

Over the next couple days, we will be withholding votes in order to rebuild our voting power to an acceptable percentage.  This will insure the best possible value per updoot.

To all the other curators: Please head over to steemit.chat and message him so you can be invited to the staging room.

I look forward to the coming weeks, months and years
working alongside @acidyo and OCD for the benefit of steemit
and the prosperity it will bestow upon us all.

As always,

Thanks for stopping by
Good Luck and Enjoy!
