The Curation and Engagement Leagues πŸ† STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! 🎁

in engagement β€’Β  6 years agoΒ  (edited)

Welcome to the Engagement and Curation leagues, sponsored by meee!

I am on the lookout for sponsorship again but until then, the EL prizes will be coming from yours truly.

If you have less than 500 Steem Power, why not join @paulag's Redfish Power-up League

If you have between 500 and 5000 Steem Power, join the @steemcommunity witnesses Minnow Power-up League.

The above posts are sponsored by @curie and/or @yabapmatt, who are also Steem witnesses. These and all witnesses can be voted for here: https://steemian.info/witnesses


This Post will be promoted with @ocdb and have a 5 STEEM @steem-bounty issued


In 2018, this weekly Post gained the sponsorship of 700 STEEM from @curie. During this period, the prizes issued totaled:

Bounties
SBD: 38.3300
STEEM: 100.0000

Transfers
SBD: 86.5100
STEEM: 1187.0200

This would not be possible without kind sponsorship and your support, particularly the words of encouragement I receive each week. Thank you all!

The league tables are reset each week and so any time is a good time to join!

On your marks, get set, curate!

The Engagement League



This league 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 over the 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)
  • Number of people spoken to (PS)
  • 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)
  • Up-votes to others (V)
  • Up-votes to different authors (U V)
  • Self-votes - a small minus score for this one, sorry! (S V)

Note: Copy/Paste comments will be excluded, if I find them!




Firstly, if you are placed in the table above then you among the top 25% of the league entrants!

  • 375 accounts earned a score this week (385 last time)
  • The top 100 produced 721 top level posts (731 last time)
  • The top 100 produced 11296 comments (12233 last time)
  • The top 100 produced over 2.27 million characters of text in comments (2.31 last time)
  • The top 100 cast 41011 votes (34730 last time). Of these, 119 were self-votes (142 last time)

Congratulations to this weeks Engagement League winner @janton! The multiple-time winner is back at the top, well done! πŸ†

@brittandjosie take 2nd, not far behind the winner at all!

And in 3rd, @veryspider who just pips last weeks winner @tattoodjay.

Excellent engagement levels also from @bengy, @glenalbrethsen, @melinda010100, @steemflow, @chireerocks, and @steevc who will all be receiving some STEEM this week.

Those without a self-vote (from their main account at least! 😱) and placed in the top ranks will also receive a little STEEM. These people are: @erikah, @kaerpediem, @abh12345, @akomoajong, @scrawly, @cryptoandcoffee, @mariannewest, @delishtreats, @soyrosa, @bozz, and @katrina-ariel.

Well done everyone!


The Curation League / Rewards based

NOTE: If you have started a power-down or been involved in delegations in/out of your account, you will not appear on this list for 15 days following the activities above. Thanks!

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.



Well done to the top 10!

First off, Thank You Asher, this is my 52nd week. One year of you working for me for free. Thank you for that by the way. I really do appreciate all the tracking and helping keep me on track by letting me know where I am and what I have been doing.

I finally managed two whole weeks without playing around with delegation, and was happy to see myself on the curation league in 72nd place. But I earned over 1 steem per 1000 SP so very happy to see that.

Some good news for I would guess everyone, Steem Value has finally gone up a little bit. Over the last two months it seems that even though I sold cards, powered most steem up and kept earning a little bit every week, every time I would get to $395.00 in account value it would the next morning be back below $393.00. This morning, at $420.00 My account value finally passed that $400.00 it has been searching for for the last two months, hopefully this is going to be a good trend.

Engagement - Congratulations to everyone once again. we may have all slipped a little bit week over week totals in comments but, and I think this is very important, we have increased the amount of outgoing votes. That is very good especially in light of the seeming price rise of steem. I am going to try and get out and do a bit more commenting, and try to do a bit more voting without diluting my vote to people to much, I am not sure I can squeeze more votes out yet, but if steem keeps going up I amy be able to.

Thanks again to Asher, and to all of you. It has been a wonderful year knowing where I have been, it helps me to find a path forward some days.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Thank you for the kind comment @bashadow, my favourite one here this week. I try not to influence the bounty payout too much, but hopefully you'll get a decent share this time.

I'm well aware, through the hundreds of nice comments I have this past year or so, that my time and effort is appreciated, but it is still good to hear that it still is, and perhaps even more so through the tougher times.

The post does take time - replies, adding new entrants, updating the STEEM/MVESTS price, checking for copy/paste comments, calculating the scores, writing the post, and even sending out the prizes. It all adds up :) And so yes, I'm grateful for the kind comments and support.

Glad to read your account is growing, again - it's been a long slide from how the numbers looked in January last year. Of course, it's only 'real dollars' if its in your bank account, and I've tried not to look at the account here as anything other than potential.

Hopefully the next few years will see some of that potential released and we can all grow and take a little out for something nice.

Cheers!

Help me @abh12345 Asher Wan Kenobi! You're my only hope!

I want to know any stats you can get about the people in the table in the middle of this post.

https://steemit.com/steemit/@crypto.piotr/boosting-crypto-community-engagement-on-steemit-plus-small-announcement-regarding-delegation-of-3400sp

I think there are 80 of them and they all got delegations of 40 sp last month.

How many posts?
Last post date?
Rewards?
Comments?
Replies?
How much sp now?
Any other delegations?

Any or all of that and anything else I am not thinking of to say, "Where are they now?"

Is this something you can do? Or is there some way I can check this?

And on another matter - I just realized the power of steem-bounty. holy cow! I am on it. I will soon be rich.

And finally - could this be for you?

Well you don't ask for much do you :P

80 - I see 3 rows of 15 with -1 for 'finito'.

IDK - I am brain dead and will go to discord lol...

Congratulations @janton! Now I feel like all is right with the world! You are So awesome! And the fact that you had those kinds of numbers when you were dealing with broken water pipe issues makes it even more impressive!

@brittandjosie 2nd! Congrats on those very impressive numbers! You talked to more people than any of us did!

And @veryspider and @tattoodjay! Great numbers!

Congrats to @bengy, @glenalbrethsen, @steemflow, @chireerocks, and @steevc for being in the green! You guys Rock!

AND @erikah, @kaerpediem, @abh12345, @akomoajong, @scrawly, @cryptoandcoffee, @mariannewest, @delishtreats, @soyrosa, @bozz, and @katrina-ariel. You all make Steem a better place to be!

Thanks so much @abh12345 for helping keep us all motivated. You are one of the main reasons why the community continues to thrive.

Thanks to @curie and @yabapmatt (I won monster cards this week!) and @fullcoverbetting for the prizes you all sponsor!

Thank you so much Melinda and congratulations to you, you're amazing as always!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

A lovely positive message to wake up to this morning, thank you very much for your involvement and support @melinda010100!

But wait! You are paying out the prizes yourself? How can we help? I've paid out 5+ Steem every week for the past year for the Shadow contest and I know how much of a hit my SP has taken because of it!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

From now on, yes. I don't wish for donations from the smaller fishes but thank you :) I will seek a big fish sponsor and if not, no worries :)

And well done for being so generous with your STEEM this past year - @lynncoyle1, we have another major good egg here :)

I sent you a Discord message....

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

:D You're pretty awesome yourself Melinda!

Thank you for the mention, @melinda010100. It's nice to be back in the Top 10, at least. Guess we'll see what this week brings. :)

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

so good to see you back sir Glen!

Thank you, @janton. It's good to be back in the Top 10, though I was hoping or higher. I didn't guess high enough with my output, apparently. :)

I take it the water problem got fixed? Do you have that in a post somewhere? I could just read that if you're tired of talking about it. :)

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Howdy sir Glen! I haven't talked about it much, just told people that we had a problem and that's why I wasn't online much for a couple days. Yes it's fixed thank God. And of course after it was all done THEN I thought about taking photos of the whole mess and process! lol. Never even entered my mind so I guess I'm not a very good content creator.

The plumber that I was helping is a local guy and I doubt if he would have let me take his picture anyway but man, talk about the 100% typical, workworking, down to earth, thick accented country boy redneck. He was so entertaining and the definition of redneck in the flesh.

Don't worry. You're not the only one that happens to. And I'm okay with it. There was a time before all this digital online madness overtook our lives where you got to actually "tell the tale" in person to someone you know. I guess you can still do that, but anyway. I'm glad to hear it got fixed.

Well, in your neck of the woods, I would think an authentic redneck plumber would be a prerequisite. You'd be disappointed if he wasn't! :)

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

haha! sir Glen! Yes sir I would be. Luckily the last two plumbers we had were about as redneck as you can get but these days with the huge influx of migration it's likely you'll get someone from the North or New York.

It is where you belong!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Agreed!

I appreciate that, and the sentiment behind it. Thank you. :)

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Howdy Melinda! Thanks so much for the kind words, you played a major part last week when I was offline and then came back on trying to catch up! lol. You are a wonderful and consistent contributor and friend!

I am so glad that you are my friend! You have taught me so much about engagement and how we should all be helping each other!

thank you, God bless you Melinda!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Wow, I managed to stay in the top ranks. I know I do make a lot of comments, but I find it hard to resist doing so. It's the interaction that keeps me coming back. Do you discount my comments when I flag stuff? Not sure that should really be included, but then I do try to tell people what they are doing that could be considered wrong.

Cheers

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Nice job brother. I’m slowly getting back into the groove after a holiday season that has sucked most of my time away. I’m feeling good and will be back up there in the top ranks soon enough to challenge you all!!! 😜

Congrats all. Seeing Asher’s post every Sunday is inspiring to me and motivates me. Especially when you aren’t quite where you’d like to be on the list. See you all here next week...with some of you sprinkled in between.

Let's get one up on last week @blewitt.. I very dare you x

@steevc congrats and glad that interaction is the reason for coming back! Lets bring on the future....

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Cheers. I try to make it fun for me and others. I know I appreciate getting comments, so I give them to others.

Preferable comment with more than 1 word otherwise i wont bother replying to the steemian. But indeed i appriciate a good comment, both a given as a recieved one.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

wow 😲 2nd place. That’s great. Damn real good

I did my utmost

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Hi Steve

Well done again. I have not been discounting your 'flag' comments as I assume they are typed (not coded/pasted) and unique to the situation. Cheers!

Congrats on your placement @stevevc I just placed my first flag this week and am happy to hear we are not discounted for that!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

I see the flagging as having value too, but I wish I didn't have to do it. There are too many selfish people doing harm to Steem. Thanks for taking action.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ (edited)

It takes a lot for me to get angry, but sometimes it is just so blatant that that we must get involved

You dont steem to be the Lady that ever Gets angry so it it was needed well you go girl LOL
And @melinda010100 congrats on being one of the ELITE WOMEN ENGAGER as one off our friends calls it. Well done

Awww! How sweet of you! The EWE! That is a women's group that I am proud to be a part of.

Yep EWE woman, maybe i should send @steemitboard a message for a new possible badge to be Made, the elite women engager badge 🧐

Ha! That would be fun! πŸ˜€

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

I'm glad to hear this! :)

Did you tag 'steemflagrewards' and pick up a little bonus?

I didn't know about Steemflagrewards. I will check it out.

Guys, I don't know much about the economics of Steemit. I'm just trying to produce the best content I can for the platform, and I have no idea why I cannot post my newest article.

Howdy there brittandjosie! thank you so much for the kind words. I think you do much better than I do actually because I don't have a household to run, shopping, cooking, cleaning, taking care of kids, and all that you do, it's amazing to consistently place so high in the League!

Hey, @brittandjosie. Congratulations on second place this week and thanks for the mention. It's good to be back up in the green. :)

No worries @bozz, cracking stuff from you this week to reach the top 10, well done!

I need to find a week to make a push and at least make it back on the list. I dont have nearly enough time that I had when i won or almost won a few weeks of the contest, but I need to increase my engagement here on Steemit a little.

Posted using Partiko Android

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

I think a big push on a particular week is a decent plan. It's really tough to put in a 'top 10' effort each week for many - time is a big factor.

Good luck blasting a week of high engagement out in the near future :)

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ

Thanks @ikcrach, i think i need to try partiko soon though I'm a loyal user to esteemapp, no matter what, because it's the first mobile app i use since a year ago

Why can't you view good tags? I always use @eSteemapp and think it is the very best! I'm happy to help if you need suggestions on how to see different feeds.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

They new version really helplessπŸ˜‚ i used to set my tag in payitforward contest where I can find best posts to comment on, but now only shows my feed.. and not everything interesting in it, because it is unreleased version, so still need so many things to adjust. It doesn't matter if i use surfer, but the estemapp legacy has not been working on my phone since 3 weeks ago

v2 is still in the testing phase. I still use v1 and switch back and forth between them as I need to.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

V1 only working to post on my phone, couldn't view the feed too.. that's why it's so frustrating while I get used to it for almost a year

I hate change, too, but think v2 will be excellent once it has all the updates! Be patient! I can still view any feed I want on v1.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

that's all right.. I can use many other option for a while, till i get the latest version ready to release. and I can start back my life on steemit once the internet connection is not an issue anymore. Thanks @melinda010100

I know they are working hard on the new updates. Hopefully it will all happen soon and give us exactly what we want!

Have you told them about your issues? I'm sure that will be addressed!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

This sounds like a plan :)

I enjoy reading these conversations on my post. I had a terrible headache/shivvers yesterday and woke up to a lot of comments here!

Big drop for me this week, but now that im blogging more on @theexcelclub and using my own website to gain much needed visibility for steem, i think i can forgive myself

100% agree! Engagement shouldn't be the goal in itself, but merely the side effect of everything else that's going on.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Indeed :)

That's why I like the messages where folks aren't thinking about the EL score and just do well because they are involved in lots that's going on. cheers!

I'll let you off. Running 2 blogs and a business and looking after a household - I would get nowhere with that list :P

What a nice surprise!! Recently, I've been so busy and I can't spend as much time online as I used to so this comes like a nice Sunday present ;) Thank you Asher!

Congratulations everyone!! I'm happy to see @janton back in the game! Great job @brittandjosie and @veryspider!! So glad to see ladies dominating the league! ;)

Available Steem time comes and goes, no worries there. Thanks for taking part and stopping by!

Thank you Melinda! I try to do my best with limited time that I have right now. It's not going to get better this year for me so I hope to manage at least this level of engagement ;)

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

howdy sir meesterboom! good to see you here. No they don't. No one calls me that! lol. Thanks for the kind words. This win was a total accident but I'll take it! I think one of the true legends around here is meesterboom. And perhaps Uncle Boom!

The Fury speaks!!

It suits you!! You are the legend!!

He's a legend round these parts for sure!

Unless @janton retires, I don't see anyone taking the top spot from him any time soon!πŸ˜†
I just realised that I don't see @smithlabs up there. Did they drop out?

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

He's not won for a few weeks - first time this year I believe!

smithlabs is in the list, looks like a few more people engaged with would boost him back up.

@minismallholding, i will surely try, and if i dont succeed he Will also be THE MASTER ENGAGER in 2019 πŸ˜‰ welldeserved btw

I mustn't have being paying propper attention!
He seemed to still be up there even when he was taking a break a little while back, due to other commitments, but not officially participating. That's amazing engagement even when he's not trying!
I scanned that list twice for smithlabs! Mind you, it was late...

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Yeah he's always there or thereabouts - can't keep a good man down :D

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Howdy there minismallholding! Thank you for the kind words, actually I've been semi-retired the last few weeks and I consider this win a fluke but I'll take it anyway!
Smithlabs is going very strong but he expanded to other platforms as well, he's building in at least 3 of them now so that has taken some of his time away from Steemit.

That sounds like quite the work ethic, both of you! Good to hear he's still around.

ooohhhh @janton is back... but he never really left, teasing us from the sidelines haha Congratulations Cowboy :)

@brittandjosie, how do you do it? 24 posts, and second place... cwazy

Congratulations to all the winners

Thank you @abh12345 :D

Hi dear @kaerpediem, i am just the girl with ideas. Thanks for the compliment and i dont mind being behind our sweet redneck. He deserves it 1000%

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Yes, never really left and was top 10 throughout I think - much deserved 1st place again.

Well done to you also @kaerpediem, many weeks in the top 10 I think?

He is amazing :)

Thank youuuu :D
More for not self-voting but I did make Top 10 last week
I am not sure how since my commenting is more organic than strategising for EL
So it is always nice when I make it into blue or green....it's like icing on the cake :D
And thank you for continuing to do this week in, week out :D

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Howdy karepediem! thanks for the kind words. Between you and me I think @brittandjosie is the true winner, if I had to run a household and take care of everything she does I doubt if I would even make it onto the charts! 24 posts? Come on, I struggle to get one out each day. Congratulations on your placing too, just out of the Green, that's good.

Honest I get help @janton. Most of the diy things I do with the kids and make a blog about it two birds thing but Thank you

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

I understand but you are still awesome and doing much more than most of us could. lol.

Both of you @janton and @brittandjosie
The Top 10
All of you are doing great :D

Ahh yes. Getting prize from this contest is always a good start of the week :).

Thanks asher and curie.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Glad to be a part of your good start to the week!

Curie have supported long enough now and from this week i'm on my own - hopefully the post can 'break-even' each week, but if not, oh well :D

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Thank-you Asher ❀ And, congratulations everyone for your excellent engagement!! Here's to another week of Steeming!!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

My pleasure Jill, have a great week too!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

It's a very bad sign I ended up still quite high in the engagement rankings, since I've had the shittiest Steem week ever :P Hahaha. I hope enough people tell you how awesome you are for doing this contest, it's really keeping people motivated around here :-) Cheers and have a great Sunday!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

aww, a Shitty Steem week? Why's that then? I'm on discord, slack if you want to talk there?

I hope enough people tell you how awesome you are for doing this contest, it's really keeping people motivated around here

Yes I can't complain, plenty of engagement on this post alone to keep me busy - It's a good sign!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Hehe, I certainly might take you up on that offer. I think for the first time in my Steem History I was a bit bummed by all the (dirty) politics coming out and very very much let myself be beaten down a bit. I'm trying to keep the positivity flowing though!

You did great! I think it has been a difficult week to stay positive for many of us. My slogan has become Keep Looking Up!

Hey, thanks for the recognition! Love being up there with so many fabulous engages. πŸ’ž

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

My pleasure, well done for picking up 2 prizes this week Katrina :D

Congratulations @janton and well done on being "King of the Hill," once again! And, of course, congratulations to everyone else placing in the top here... we are really part of creating a representation of what the best of Steemit is about: Community and engagement.

Something good to keep in mind while the big muckety-mucks try to settle their differences over the future of what we're all part of, here.

And thanks @abh12345 for tirelessly keeping track of all this, week after week.

I'm happy to simply be back in the top-100 table again; time is scarce these days (and that has nothing to do with the state of the crypto markets), so I have to make the most of what little Steemit time I have. Kind of exciting news in my little micro-niche (cats!) here; we appear to have a bona-fide "celebrity" (@christinelook) recently join Steemit; as we get acquainted more I'll see if I can talk her into joining the Leagues!

Everyone have a great week!
=^..^=

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Hey Cat

I've checked out Christine Look and left a message over there - I think she'll need to sort out some proof of ID before gaining support, hopefully she reads my message, and yours :)

Cheers, have a lovely week too!

I look forward to this post every week..the engagement efforts truly blow me away. It's been far too warm here for me to comment much... too busy surfing and having fun on holidays... so it's a suprise I even get in! Have a great week Asher xx

Well I am not jealous at all!

Where is here? (Sorry if I've asked before, a hard time keeping track!)

Enjoy the surf and have a great week also!

Oops! I couldn't able to make comments this time. No rewards xD

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Ah never mind, plenty more chances this year! :)

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Woohoo! I'm not sure how I'm staying in the top ten, but I'm happy for it! Congratulations to the entire list, it's a great way to keep the community spirit going!
Thanks to the big new sponsor, @meee!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

I'm not sure either, I only see you at the weekend :P :D Reminds me of a girl I used to... anyway, all good!

Yeah the new sponsor, pat on the back for them eh. Cheers @bengy!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

I can safely assure you that I'm not that girl!

Congrats @bengy and indeed thanks to sponsor @abh12345 and @meee

Hanging on strong! Always a success just to be listed with these great Steemians! Congrats to all!

Glad to see, thanks for be a part of the League and have yourself a good week :)

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

How cool I am back on the list. I have been trying to engage more with the people that comment on my posts. It seems to be working and it is getting me some good rewards from them. I am in a curation trail that votes for my stories so will have a few SV a week but not worries this is just fun to see my name up there again.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

I'm glad to hear that an increase in interaction is giving the opportunity for others to bring some extra votes to you.

And yes, no worries with the self-votes, a trail will make it harder to avoid but it's no problem. Well done :)

Heeeeeey! I'm getting up there!

I just had another look at the scoring system, and it's so good. Points for comment depth is so good! That's a brilliant metric for actual engagement. Janton is an absolute commenting machine, it's amazing to see! Well done to everyone on this list... it's obviously been a highly dramatic week, but I truly believe actual engagement is where the true value of the blockchain.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

ahh thanks :)

The scoring has been tweaked a little recently, it seems that it is working for you - and I hope for most!

Thank you so much for sponsoring this league so generously now. I wished I had a big fat upvote to give you.
The support from @curie was really nice. We probably lost it at the Freewrite House as well. It was fun to be able to give better prizes to the newbies. That is for sure.
Thank you again!! You are awesome!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

I do what I can :D

Yes I would also like all the engagers here to be whales, and think that could work out quite well for me, thank you!

Yes!! MORE Whales!!! (that are voting for us) LOL

Congratulations to @janton and everyone that made the lists, this is what makes Steemit special the level of real engagement :)

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

howdy sir tattoodjay! thank you and congratulations for your excellent finish and great consistency!

MY Consistency is going to fall out the window this week for sure, I just stayed in last week as it was a swing from lot sof free time to handle any LOL

Consistency is where you astound us all my friend

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

howdy tonight JJ! yes it's a commitment to do a high volume and most people have a life so they spend it doing more important things! lol. thank you for the kind words.

Good evening mate this week other things are taking so much of my time I may well fall right off the list
Take care mate

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Thanks jay!

@abh12345, Time to put more efforts towards Engagement. As always thank you so much for sharing this report with us and it's like weekly alarm to showcase what we've grown for this week in numbers. Stay blessed brother. πŸ™‚

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Thank you very much :D

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

howdy sir Asher! Some of the people must have been distracted with other things this week for me to be able to win with low numbers like that, very surprising but kudos to everyone on the charts, many who have full time jobs.
Sir Asher, I don't like you funding this yourself, why don't you take me off the rewards until you get a sponsor? I want to support you, not take your steem. I know it takes a ton of work to put this together, you should be paid for doing that, not having it cost you!

I salute you, you're awesome but I'd rather be supporting you. Wish I was a whale! lol.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

The final score has been lowered by the metric adjustment, and the actually engagement has been largely the same :)

Please don't worry about the rewards, it will be a waste of our time having a wallet send battle on who should have the STEEM each week :D

I'm working on finding new sponsors, and the post gains some of the costs in itself - hopefully things will change soon enough but I'm happy to cover my own initiative for now.

Congratulations again for top spot!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

thank you sir Asher, God bless you for all that you do for us!

Well, @abh12345, looks like the blockchain is still here, right where I left it. Thanks for your part in keeping it oiled, up and running. No hard fork, yet, I presume? Looks like I can still see the Steemit account (though more depleted), so I guess that means I'm still on the same chain. :)

Looks like I did move up the ranks, though not quite as high as I was aiming. These new scoring tweaks of yours, I must admit are harder to guess at. Regardless, it's obvious that more is in order if I wish to get back up into the top 3.

It sounds like the @curie sponsorship has run out. Sorry to hear that. With all of what they seem to be involved with, including their own contests, and where STEEM is, I suppose it's inevitable. Something has to give. Not that the engagement league was what needed to give, though. Something else would have been nice, but as has become a resurgent theme of late, and thankfully so, it is their stake, to do with what they will.

Your sponsoring the leagues, even though your own circumstances (for the moment) would be better served if someone else were at least pitching in, is noble and very cool of you. I trust you won't be putting yourself into a position where it's untenable, but always, if push comes to shove, do what you gotta do.

Thank you for taking this on, and continuing it, through thick and mostly thin.

Congratulations to all those in the top 10. It takes quite a bit of dedication to engagement to get there.

Onward and upward.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Hi Glen

We've had a few messages in-between this one, and they all look to be here on the same chain :)

Yes please don't worry about the sponsorship (I've just replied to an equally concerned janton). Progress is being made on funds, and as it's my thing, I really don't mind fueling the prizes.

The metric tweaks have been interesting to see in action, but the aim hasn't changed. Engagement - communication around the chain will hopefully still score the best.

grats to winners and participants :D engagement is looking good \o/

keep up the good work, everyone <3

thanks, asher, for always organizing such a great week !!! :D

Wow @brittandjosie second place this is insane how do you keep becoming more elite each week! You're a legend! Theres really some serious competition at the top even though I slacked a bit this week I fell down the rankings quite a bit this week, I love it though! NO free lunchs in the curation league

I'm finding more and more stuff that you are involved with that actually makes a lot of good sense. Too bad I'm being kept too busy to dive deeper into these programs at this time. I have no idea what all the headings on your charts mean, but I'm sure they help you determine some facts.

I really like the fact that you have taken a different approach to how you separate yourself from the other witnesses and I encourage others to vote for you since your programs are what really make this platform what it was envisioned to be. Thanks for all that you are doing to support this platform.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Thank you for the kind comment @happyme :)

If it's a different approach, then it wasn't taken on purpose and I would say it's just happened by seeing what people are interested in and following along. Thank you!

Finally, I get to win something from this league. It's really difficult staying away from self-votes but I'm happy to have succeeded at least for a week. Thanks abh12345

Estoy nuevo en steemit y veo en su post una oportunidad de interactuar con otros steemians y estar en una liga que me permite, de una manera muy sencilla, llevar el control de hacer en esta plataforma y a la vez me ayudarΓ‘ a crecer.

I am new to steemit and I see in your post an opportunity to interact with other steemians and be in a league that allows me, in a very simple way, to take control of doing on this platform and at the same time it will help me grow. In this order of ideas, I request guidance, in what refers to be part of that team in consideration of my profile. I mean, I want to know if I meet the conditions.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Yes, as long as the comments are typed then multiple people using the account is OK.

If all the messages are written in 2 languages (like the above) I might need to deduct some of the text count, but we shall see.

I've added you to the list, welcome!

Heard about this in the #powerhousecreatives discord and thought I'd stop by to request entry to the league :)

Great to see the lord @janton topping the table, that guy is a machine haha

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

howdy sir nickyhavey! generally Brits are not allowed here but you could always try, maybe they'll make an exception for you! lol. If I was a machine last week I desperately needed some fuel and I sure wasn't a well-oiled machine. Kind of a clunky English one sputtering along but I'll take it nonetheless!

Wow Lord @janton, did Baroness give you another new laptop or something?! Haha. Never seen your tail so high in the air before!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

haha! sorry sir nickyhavey, I don't know what's wrong with me today. I guess when someone new to the League shows up I like to slap them around a little bit! lol. I'll come over to your blog later and harrass you there.

Excellent, can't wait to have another dose of Lord Janton's patented redneck harassment πŸ˜‰
