Early on in the network states and people were highly competive on placement on the overall state ranking. This was a good thing, and still is IMO, because of the competive nature of our industry and it leads in to the evolution of ActiveRain competitiviness.
Washington is a competive area but it only has had a few power players change positions over and over. Ben and Karren along with Mark did mondo battle back in July though October but since then then the players have changed to incorporate Mark (He is still bloggin strong), Rich and myself (if I can be included in the group).
I have hit the top spot once or twice knocking of Mark but always getting beat down after making my move since they weren't power plays. The dynamics have now change since then (Mark and I were in different counties) and Rich, also a Silverdale resident and good friends with Mark, has made his first move tonight.
Sitting silently in 3rd I plan on playing the stanima game and patiently wait for my turn. It many battles consitency is usually a very high contributing factor. Though these two seem to have "fire" on their side my plan is to wait until they burn out. Know that they are going to read this post...I smile and will bide my time and wait.
With nothing better to do I blog and control the web from this crappy chair I sit in. So it sits that less than a thousand points seperate to friends and just outside of 6k from the Snohomish County guy and only time is going to tell how this story unfolds. Mark and Rich are nice dudes and pretty darn smart so this country kid has his work cut out for himself but there is a factor that isn't taken into affect: SERPs.
I haven't researched the SERPs in a comparison view so please excuse the boldness the that last statement :) I am happy accept, for now, sitting on the lower podium :)
<cheers...Mark & Rich>
