<p>As horrid as the experience was for most serviteurs on Arturia, there lived a select few who didn't have to experience those conditions. The mud-beds, the reckless abandon and refusal to run clean water, no assurance of health care and adornments of rags which were the staple of the Marsh-dwellers weren't the lot of a few. </p><p>They were called: <strong>The Bugoise.</strong></p><p>It's not like these ones were spared or anything in their capture into Arturia. They were former Marsh-dwellers who offered up their fellow servituers to live in stabler conditions.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000409481.jpg"/></p><p>Due to the conditions on the Marshes, some serviteurs tried to rebel and protest in boldness for better conditions, some tried to run away through the Ant Hills.</p><p>These defiants were ratted out to the Arturia forces by some Marsh-dwellers and were <strong>brutally</strong> punished for their resistance.</p><p>Jemima was the first rebel about two years ago. There were no means of care for her health in the absolute ramifications of it; even though she and so many others served as cogs to keep Arturia working.</p><p><br/></p><p>Some soon-to-be Bugoise heard her discussions her plans to protest with some other Marsh-dwellers and ratted them out to Arturian officers. On the day of her protest with her ragtag team and their makeshift weapons, they raided some of the ration stations.</p><p>They were then surrounded by officers.</p><p><br/></p><p>All of them were publicly executed, with Jemima's head severed and impaled on a pole. It was fixed at what served as the exit and entrance of the Marshes to serve as a warning.</p><p>Dan shared a piece of paper with Tom. "Those were blueprints of all the ration stations Jemima and her team were to raid." Tom looked up at Dan. </p><p>"I would know because I was part of the people she told about the plan", the paper was handed back to Dan.</p><p>"I just... didn't go with them that day" Dan said as he looked at Tom who was paying costly attention. There was an awkward silence in the room for a bit.</p><p>"Wow, I didn't know that", Tom sighed.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000409482.jpg"/></p><p>Tom's mind was still made up to have some extra rations, death or not. "There is a part of the ration station that Jemima didn't get to. It's like a blindspot" Dan said, breaking the silence. Tom sat up.</p><p>The plan was simple: when they get to the stations to get their rations, Tom would slip through a vent at the end of a slightly dark alley which led to a room with a <em><strong>looot</strong></em> of rations. Luckily, around the time of enacting this plan, there would be minimal to no surveillance. </p><p>Dan told Tom that he was going to make some preparations before heading to the headcount and then the ration station where they would execute the plan.</p><p>"Death before dishonor, my brother" Tom said to Dan as he clasped his fingers on his shoulder.</p><p>Dan smiled before heading off to prepare.</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.

Engagement Score
The All-time Engagers ranking is based on a user's Engagement Score — a measure of how much a
user engages with other users' content via comments and upvotes.
Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate the Engagement Score, arranged from
the metric with the highest weighting, to the one with the lowest weighting.
1
A user's comments (excluding replies & said user's comments on their own content)
2
A user's upvotes
Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
The Top Monthly Contributors leaderboard reflects what truly resonates, not just who posts the most.
