Welcome to this weeks Curation and Engagement leagues, kindly sponsored by @carlgnash and @paulag.
Just a reminder to try to be around to help me review Posts regarding this contest, submitted in comments to a new post I will put out tonight at 2pm Eastern / 8pm CET. Cheers!
To enter the leagues drop a comment below (Lifetime membership - unless you ask to be removed)
The leagues (tables) are reset each week and so any time is a good time to join!
On your marks, get set, curate!
Introduction
My general views on curation rewards (to score highly in League 1) are:
Vote before the big hitters, but not too early!
Voting in the first minute will earn you a curation reward of almost 0.000
Voting between 1 and 29 minutes will earn an increasing % of the curation rewards split - This value peaking at 30 minutes and remaining the same from this point onwards
It is commonly suggested that 15-25 minutes is the best time to vote, especially on known 'power author' posts because they are likely to have more auto-votes coming in at these times - and you want to be ahead of these votes
Voting on good dtube/dlive/sndbox content, and utopian-io approved contributions (prior to the vote by @dtube / @utopian-io, etc) can earn some very good curation rewards
Voting on @ocd posts is likely to gain good curation rewards as founder @acidyo, and @anomadsoul support these posts after giving time for other accounts to vote - you will be in front of a couple of large votes here!
As you can see, a combination of many variables such as Steem Power, voting strength, voting weight, time of vote, and more, all play a part in the amount of rewards received.
My general opinion on maximizing engagement (to score highly in League 2) is:
Spread your vote and write lots of engaging comments!
Use your vote on the comments of others to make yourself (vote) seen and provoke a reply
The data for league 1
The raw data has been collected from SteemSQL - @arcange's MS SQL Server copy of the Steem Blockchain.
The formula used for 'quality of financial curation skill' is:
Curation Rewards DIVIDED BY Steem Power MULTIPLIED BY 1000
This will return the amount of Curation rewards gained per 1000 Steem Power held
The rules (which will cause auto-filtering of your account if not met so just enter anyway and see what happens!) to appear in this league:
No programmed voting! Following a trail is OK, using a script to vote for you is not (but well done if you have done that!)
Must have voted at least once on a piece of content in the past 7 days
Must not have leased or delegated Steem Power in the last 14 days
Must not have Started a Power Down (withdrawal of Steem Power) in the last 15 days
The 2nd and 3rd points above are not 'bad' actions, but are required to reduce distortion of the figures.
And, as curation rewards for the past week are actually taken from votes made up to 14 days ago, we need a two week 'window' as mentioned above.
Don't let this put you off entering though - you will be automatically be excluded/appear each week, depending on the criteria above.
League 1 - Curating to maximize returns (Top 100)
The end column is what I think is a genuine indicator of how well you are financially working the curation game with the tools, including vested Steem Power, that you have at your disposal.
This Week's winners!
Congratulations to @misterakpan! A @curie curator tops the table for the first time, proving that it does pay to seek out new and undiscovered talent on the Steem Blockchain - hurray!
A fine job also by @tony19r, @voiceoff, @coolguy123, @greenrun, @steemitri, @osm0sis, @journeyoflife, @williamsyee, and @pataty69 for completing the top 10 'financial' curators this week.
All of the above will be getting some STEEM :)
League 2 - Engagement and Excellence - Write on!
This the newer league which is not based around financial rewards and relates to engagement.
Everyone currently on my master list has a chance here - including those powering down or dealing in delegations this past couple of weeks.
I've used some metrics (which is the fancy way of saying that made up some numbers) relating to:
- Posts (P)
- Comments - number of (C)
- Comments - replies to replies - depth > 2 (C R)
- Comments - length in characters (C L)
- Witness votes (W) (for those proxying witness votes, your total is always 30)
- Upvotes to others (V)
- Upvotes to different authors (U V)
- Self-votes - a (getting smaller each week) minus score for this one sorry! (S V)
Firstly, if you are placed in the table above then you are doing great and are among the top 20%! - Well done everyone!
Congratulations to this weeks new Engagement League winner, @cheneats!
@cheneats has spent a lot of time on the blogs of newcomers this week, and the 'meeting and greeting' has resulted in him topping this weeks table. Well done!
@glenalbrethsen has put in another fine weeks work in 2nd, and was only just pipped from making it 5 wins in a row.
In 3rd place and back in the top 3, the lovely @lynncoyle1, a previous multi-time champion and wonderful engager.
Well done all 3 of you!
Excellent engagement levels and top 10 (OK, 11!) places for @gillianpearce, @maverickinvictus, @leeart, @bashadow, @themanwithnoname, @mirrors, @davemccoy, and @melvadg who will all be receiving some STEEM this week.

Well being sick for 3 days had the upside that I was on top of my comments and was able to do some more 2nd level comments outside not enough to be in the top 3 but still happy enough.
Oh man I did not believe it was possible for anyone to topple Glen after all the novel like comments he leaves.
So congratulations @cheneats and you know that Glen will be back with a vengeance next week hahaha.
I am happy to see Lynn in the top 3 she deserves it as she has been working tirelessly in upvoting and commenting.
As usual this is a highlight of the week and to me one of the most important project in the platform. When we engage we make the platform better.

I can't be the only believer that it's possible for someone else to be No. 1 here? How much fun would that be? :) Now that it's done, I hope we can all 'come back with a vengeance' as you say. In my case, I'm just going to try to stay healthier this week than I did last week, because unlike in your case, it doesn't mean I do any better with comments or anything else. You get more time because you don't have to work (hopefully, though, you're feeling better, because sick isn't fun). I just have to sleep more, which takes time away from here.
Novel finished. Moving on. :)

Good morning, @abh12345.
I see I'm in the No. 2 position by 782 points, which from my estimation, makes that the closest finish between No. 1 and No. 2 over the last nine weeks. That is awesome! The more competition, the better. It makes the leagues exciting and fun.
That said, this means that instead of an acceptance speech this week, or as @fullcoverbetting likes to call it, a victory speech, this will be more of a congratulatory and concessionary speech.
I will keep it brief. :) Okay, briefer.
Thank you, as always, Asher, for the Curation and Engagement Leagues. I think you told me once you considered them to be a simple idea, or something to that effect. Well, from small and simple things great and I would say profound things come to pass. I believe that we are all a part of something great here.
A few more words of thanks, and then congratulations.
Thank you, @carlgnash and @paulag for the sponsorships. As always, they are greatly appreciated. From week to week, your presences are felt here through your participation and your funding.
@cheneats—it's amazing how quickly a new champion can show up the moment the previous champion starts to be considered unstoppable, unbeatable or immovable. I've experienced that from both sides now, and all I can say is, nothing, given time, is impossible. So, congratulations on your win this week. That is a mind boggling amount of comments and a very impressive vote spread. I wish you good luck for this week.
@lynncoyle1—I've never been comfortable in the role of what people call king here, but you have been graceful in any role, including queen of the leagues. In victory or conciliation you have taught me how both should be done. Thank you for that, and congratulations for being in the Top 3.
As for the rest of the Top
1011—@gillianpearce, @maverickinvectus, @leeart, @bashadow, @themanwithnoname, @mirrors, @davemccoy, @melvadg. Thank you for who you are, what you do, and how you help me, along with others here, stay sane on Steemit. Well done all with your placing. Onward and upward.Since I'm not No. 1 this week, I will yield back the floor now. :)

Yet I always like seeing your comments Glenn and although I appreciate upvotes I love getting comments from you more because it bears the seal of approval from Glenn of impecable taste in posts. Have you not considered curie yet?
Or have a thought on being a scout for the @promo-mentors :) We need you! I need you there! This is a blatant recruitment pitch for the promo-mentors hahahha!!

It's like you're chanting, "Promo-mentors! Promo-mentors! Promo-mentors!" and then there's this crowd going, "Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! You're so amazing!"
Um, I haven't really been thinking about Curie, except when they pop up in my feed, and beyond that, I haven't been thinking about much else than what I need to do to stay atop the engagement league, which obviously wasn't enough this past week.
So, I'm probably just going to have to say that for now, I don't really want to get involved with anything other than the leagues. It's really nothing against anyone or anything. It's just a matter of trying to put in best efforts. Everyone else keeps talking about being stretched thin with what they're doing and I'm just not needing that in my life anymore. I did that for 30 years. Now, I'm looking to stop stretching.
As it is, from what you've said, I'm kind of my own brand of quality assurance. Do I want to give up that? :)

I guess that kind of happened, but it wasn't really on purpose. I was sick Wednesday night, all of Thursday, and for a while on Friday, so that became distracting and hard to concentrate. I would get tired, need to nap, and then would stop earlier at night than normal. So I lost some hours and didn't accomplish as much as I would if I weren't ill.
As it is, though, I did what I pretty much do every week, I just wasn't to add to it, which I apparently needed to do this week. I just don't know how much more I could have done differently. So, anyway. The winning streak stays at four. :)

Oh no. I'm sorry to know that you got sick. That is surely a setback. Take all the rest you need and get back your strength to taking back the crown. I will not be surprised if you will win it again this week :)

Thanks. I'm hoping I'm over it. Sometimes these illnesses swing back around after a few weeks, so hopefully not, but for now I'm functioning at least. As far as taking back the crown, it's not been a good two days. Not sure why exactly. It's kind of like people disappeared or something. Not nearly getting the same amount of engagement with folks, so I'm not sure if people are just pressed for time or if they're off Steemit for vacations, or a combination of things, but I've been having a hard time finding where everyone is at. :)

Hoping your illness is really over.
I do not get sick that often but when I do, it hits hard and long. Sometimes it could take two weeks. Most of the time flu. The longest was almost a month when I came from a trip. I believed I have had dengue but I am not sure because by the time I decided to go to the doctor I was doing better. I don't rely much on meds or doctors.
I didn't notice that about the interaction. The engagement I get is based upon my activities here. I usually don't get responses during the day that I comment on posts but I get them the next day and sometimes others get back to me later on.

I feel sort of bad, that maybe I jinxed you with a one day early pre-congrats. Still only a few points, so dang close the top is, and even though you may not have been number one this week, you do an astounding job of engaging people, and I think they appreciate it, I know I do.

Oh, no way we're blaming you! Don't feel bad in the slightest. As I said, I never no from week to week what's going to happen. (who could), and as it is, from my perspective, this came totally out of the blue. So, hey, no feeling bad, sort of or otherwise. I'm just going to do what I normally do, only hopefully more, and we'll see how we all fall out next time.
You're very right. It was very close. A few more whatever and I could have edged ahead. That's the competition at the very top that has been lacking and really should be there. So, hey. Let's see more of it.
I'm trying to engage so I'm glad it shows, and I'm thankful for you and everyone else who also is engaging or has posts to engage on. We all need to be there and involved to make any of it happen, right?

Well, thank you. It was kind of funny because when I got on the computer, I actually brought up steemworld first and saw the amount Ash transferred to my wallet and thought, "Hunh. I'm not in first place." Then, I sat there for a minute or two feeling mostly relief. After that, though, it was like, uh, okay, I was really hoping for extending out the winning to five weeks in a row. Oh, well. :)

Hey @cheneats! This is awesome! I wanted to tell you what a fantastic achievement this is... I was speaking with a few people and think that you have a great strategy of meeting new people... I like that, I love that you are talking with the newbies and making them feel welcome... Are you on discord? If so I would like to have a conversation with you about how maybe I could work with you, I'm always wanting to find ways to help newbies and minnows... Let me know...

We're oozing and it's sticking.

Since it's pretty much title only (in my case anyway—you're the one getting 'ice cream trucks'. All i get is more stuff to do), I suppose it could be much worse. We could be totally and completely forgotten about the instant we drop. :)

Hi @abh12345, So, these leagues are for Steemians who want to earn through curation, right? Is there any league that helps good writers get better payouts?
Also, I'm on post for the contest. So, once done, I've to post its link in the comments section of the next post you write on this contest. Am I right? Please guide if I am wrong.
Many thanks. Steem On!

@cheneats congratulations on the top spot. We were all wondering when, if anyone could come along and topple Glen after 5 weeks, it seems like there is no guessing who is going to get the gas and go the distance, very nice job, and the number of "Upvotes to different authors (U V)" was simply amazing. If you have not seen or heard of @dustsweeper you need to look into it. I vote a lot of redfish/very new accounts, they appreciate and like to vote those rare early comments, and @dustsweeper has helped already in boosting their votes out of the dust level, thus giving them the little curation reward they may have missed out on, not to mention you get a little reward also.
Asher, thank you for all you have done to help me get to my 500+ SP, I know the next several people will be as pleased to receive your delegation as I was. It was a very big help.

RE: Delegation, I'm sad to be taking them (5 of you had passed the 500 marker recently), but it's all gone back out and more over the past few days. Thanks for being cool about it!

Don't be sad about taking it back, I know it went back out to others, it really did help get to 500 SP quicker, and I am now close to 550 SP, just have to power up the few funds I have and be real close to that. I already had 3 dustupvotes, so that's 3 voters whose votes counted, and they will get rewarded for it, so a win win on that program I think.

Well, unbeatable seems to be so until beaten. So, we'll see next week what happens. Having a higher level of competition in the upper three slots is good, just as it is all along the engagement league list. We've been missing the closer scores up there. We do what we can and then wait for the results, right? :)

Asher, I'm late in getting to this post but I wanted to before my day is over. First, thank you for the prize! I always donate this prize in your name to @friendsofgondor to help the stewardsofgondor out, and this week is no different... Thank you for being so generous!
And wow, I must say that it is awesome that @cheneats flew to the top, that is super impressive... I am stunned to see anyone overcome the IF... Otherwise known as @glenalbrethsen :) ... That is an amazing feat @cheneats and I hope you are ready for this week, because I think @glenalbrethsen will be ready big time in the week ahead! :)
As always I see many awesome names up there on your list and I'm so proud of all the people new and old that show up and take pride in their engagement! I also love that the leaderboard keeps shifting around so that their is some action in it week to week!
I also want to thank @paulag and @carlgnash for their major contribution to keeping this league sponsored and giving out such amazing prizes! I know I say it every week, but I sincerely mean it... this is the place that has taught me so much about how relevant we are for the future (the engagers).... We might all be relatively small for now, but one day many of us will grow up and I know many will remember these days as our formidable period as we develop all these relationships. We couldn't do it without the sponsors and of course Asher, and I know everyone I speak to really love looking forward to Sundays and seeing how they rank!
Awesome job again Asher, another great week, and thank you again for your generosity to me and to all the others that you help with both crypto and delegation each week! :)

I think it's totally worth it though, and @paulag may have a post out soon proving that this type of deal is great for retaining accounts.

But so far this week I've just been pootling on as usual. 😁

Well, now, cycling down forbidden paths and falling off a cliff would not be good. I'm trying to figure out what the forbidden paths in Steemit might be, since there's really nothing that's off limits. I know there's rabbit holes to go down that I wish I hadn't, but so far, I managed to avoid the cliff falling part, though I guess I did hold on a little too precariously on the precipice. If falling off the cliff equates to giving up on Steemit, well, as much as I wouldn't blame you, I'd really rather you stayed to the nice, lit, open areas instead and hung around. :)

Nah. Falling off the cliff doesn't equate to giving up on Steemit.
I'm thinking more of using the evil bots or such like which might end up with everybody shunning me. 😂
I have no plans for that at the moment, I should hasten to add, since they seem to cost, rather than make, money. But who knows what else might turn up that is generally disapproved of.
It's more censure of the community I'm referring to! 😁
Even writing this makes me a tad nervous! I've felt the blacklash before when I've been wondering outloud about such things.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Well, people just need to chill. Wondering outloud about things is not the same as doing, and in this place, where there are no rules, doing is not the equivalent of committing some crime.
I haven't used bots, and don't see myself doing it, because I don't see the benefit. At best, it's mixed, at worst, I'm told I destroy the entire STEEM platform. I'm guessing that last one is an exaggeration, but it's obvious that some people get results with bots and others don't. I don't want to waste time figuring out who's right.
That said, I find it highly hypocritical for anyone to call anyone out for doing anything around here when most of us (not all), have either had some hand in the way things are, or continue to do so. The moment they do, is the moment they need to put down the righteous indignation. The high ground is lost and the self-righteous attitude isn't going to fly. Calls to forego bot usage, or whatever it is, needs to be much more educational, much more tactful, and much more conciliatory.
So, no shunning happening here, and if someone does it, especially when you're just asking or thinking outloud about it, they can come see me if you decide it's more than you want to deal with. I'll take care of it.
Okay, I'm backing away from the keyboard... :)

Hi Asher, as every Sunday morning I came running to see how the league was this week and I'm in the fabulous honor roll, it's my second week and it's a leap of joy to my enthusiasm to be in the leagues this week, although many days I was very busy, I still managed to get in and it was the best gift of Mother's Day I've received (who am I kidding?? if I've only received one gift lol).
Anyway, I'm glad to see how many people have joined this league, some of my friends are already here and I'm excited to see that they're getting to know each other, I congratulate all the winners, I know it's hard work of commitment and dedication, so they have it well deserved! and to you @abh12345 thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity, you are my favorite statesman, I hope to support you in all your good ideas!

Okay, @abh12345, here are the couple of questions I wanted to ask.
I keep track of my comment count (along with votes). Normally, you and I line up exactly with comment count (votes can vary). For this past week, however, you had me at 298, while I have a tally of 304. I checked the numbers again out of curiosity on steemworld this morning and same amount—304.
So, first off, I'm wondering if maybe it's possible the difference in comments may be due to pulling the data earlier than you have? If so, that means they will show up next week, right, which is fine by me. I've already conceded and not looking to change the outcome. I'm just trying to figure out where the comments might have gone and why we might be off by more than one or two when we're normally spot on.
If you happen to find them, and they actually did count for this week, would you mind just giving me my totals here, so I can see the total CL amount? I like to keep track of my average per comment CL.
If they were cut off and will show up for next week, that would be good to know, too.
The other thing is, I've noticed I'm nowhere to be found on the curator league lists for the second straight week. Since I got delegation from krnel the week the leagues had a bye, I first thought maybe I fell off because of that, but I've reread the rules and maybe that's not it? Looks like leased delegation is the issue? Anyway, trying to see if it's because I've fallen farther down the list or if delegation I got is the cause.
I didn't change my voting strategy at all so I was expecting to come in with the same sets of results where I've been previous to the bye.
Okay sorry for all this noise. I promise, I don't have anything else. :)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

No worries :)
The delegation will wipe you out for 14/15 days from the date it was pulled back - so i think next Sunday you will appear?
As far as votes, i count those from the week before last, as those are the ones that are giving you last weeks curation rewards (hence the script needing 14 days to clear delegations).
The comments are pulled for the last 7 days, to the minute that i pull the data. As the post takes an hour or 3 to organise, you've probably got up and are beavering away :D The should in theory roll to next week, but it all depends on when I do the pull.
My advice would be to take a break on Sunday morning (over the time im doing the post) as if I start it an hour or two later than the previous week, comments made in that hour wont show up in the stats.
It's not perfect, but this way i'm on an exact deadline and hopefully it's still fair for all.
I hope that helps!

Actually, that's very helpful, @abh12345. My first thought about the delegation was the right one then. So, the rule is, if you give or get delegation, free or leased—regardless of how it happened—you're off for the 14/15 days. Okay, cool. I doubt I did anything with the delegation from krnel, anyway, so as kind as it was, it is what it is. :)
Okay, so that accounts for the voting discrepancies, maybe. I'd have to go look.
All right on the comments. I'll watch for them next week. Funny thing is, I ended earlier this week than I have in the last several (11 pm Pacific, rather than nearly midnight) on Saturday.
When you say Sunday morning, what time zone? :) You're nine hours ahead of me. I just checked and it looks like you published last week's results earlier than you did this week's, so that's sort of confusing, but anyway. I'll wait for the results next time and see if the comments show up. :) Thank you.

Central European Time, i think! it will be 8:40pm shortly!
It's very likely to be @krnel's delegation, I can't remember to the day when it was taken back - i think next week will be good.
I could, at some point, get you some lift-time stats by week - I don't have the code at hand but it might be worth doing.

So, you must be feeling better now? I'm still out of sorts, but not nearly as bad as I was, so I'm glad for that. Still can't seem to quite get past the sour stomach, though. That part has been around for a couple of weeks. Time to go to the doctor? Maybe I should just go on a juice cleanse? It would probably have the same results or better, and be much tastier in the process.

My stomach continues to be "off" sporadically.

I've never actually thought about it, but considering how small the world is anymore, it wouldn't surprise me.

Well, something is going on. Asher had an issue, though his seemed pretty bad compared to what I have, which kind of overlapped his and then you've got something that sounds similar to mine. So, I don't know. So far as I know, no none else here has it, so if it's going around the world, it's also doing it like one per household or something.
With air travel and other means to get around, I think they say that a particularly nasty bug could spread so quickly that there would be cases in all parts of the world withing a matter of days. Hopefully, they would be able to clamp down on travel before that happens, but there was something like that within the last five years (probably less) where they were trying to contain something and it took a while because someone was on a plane before they were able to quarantine the flight. Ebola, maybe? Can't remember now.

or bird flu? swine flu? One of those, but yes, I remember. I'm afraid it would be spread far and wide before organized quarantine could come into effect. But I have enough doom and gloom in my real life, I don't need to focus on the world's "what if's" ;)
Hope you are feeling better soon!

One suggestion I do have, and I have no clue how much extra work would be involved, is showing rankings for the previous week. Something that would make it easier for those of us outside the Top 10 (okay, 11) to track our improvement each week.

I just realize self-vote makes a huge different in curation (Not going to do self vote anyway). Thanks for adding me into the both league. Thanks for the information too: I'm in Top 34 (League 1 - Curating to maximize returns) and Top 54 (League 2 - Engagement and Excellence).

How many people participate right now?
And what's the prize for lucky number 25? Perhaps you should include that in the text?

It's given out by @fullcoverbetting, so you can check his wallet? I don't put it there so to not pin him down on an amount :)
I think we have about 375 listed - not all are active, see @paulag's post.

@crypto-econom1st
The price is always one steembasicincome share. You can check it indeed on my wallet or in the wallet of steembasicincome.
I will sponsor this 5 more weeks! I made the engagement for 10 weeks! After this we will evaluate how healthy my wallet is if I can continue this way of sponsoring 😁

I do need 5 more steem for @abh12345 engagements league.
Around 45 needed for my World Cup Contest. Part of this will be sponsored. Already received 10 and still need to receive 25, already 22 SBD in my savings, so that should be okay!
I do see both as some kind of investments. The bigger my followers base is the more chance that I write something which people like and do upvote.
On the other side, the more vests my followers have, the bigger the reward is from the busy.pay upvote bot!

I didn't see your savings. So you receive any interest?

Nope, to bad I don't :(
I just put it in my saving you I can't spend it on powering up on Steem Power. I need to assure that I can put my money where my mouth is.
If I do run a great contest but fail to pay-out the damage to my account would be dramatic!

I'm sorry I didn't see this until today, but I appreciate the congratulations and well-wishes. You moved up the list here, too, so nice! I didn't see the Indonesian leagues post. How did you do? I'll guess I'll need to go looking for it. :)

I'm so happy to see my name on the second table, amongst the top 20% (League 2- Engagement and Excellence). I hope to improve better this week to get a better spot. Well done @abh12345 and other sponsors for this amazing project, this definitely encourages engagement, hardwork and consistency.
Please how do you create this table on steemit? As I want to create something similar for database and curation of a young growing community. I would appreciate your kind response.
