Winner of Jan here. I'm absolutely blown away that the winner was a 34% power up.
It takes the top 8 contestants to reach the total SP powered up between the top 3 contestants of January. I didn't know this contest was on a downward trend and totally expected February's top 5 slots to be filled with power up percentages ranging from 98% all the way to 125%
One guy tried. Poor bastard. 186% power up, but 3 steem short. Poor bastard.
This was a low month over the timeframe I covered. Perhaps people are holding liquid in case of a jump?
Sorry for the downvoted comment.
Bah, no worries man. Thanks for putting the time in to do these posts and enjoy the day out there.
