Welcome to this weeks Curation and Engagement leagues, kindly sponsored by @carlgnash and @paulag.
I hope current members enjoyed the break last week, and perhaps have something to share regarding a change in approach that worked/didn't work for them.
I'd also like to mention here that a week or so back, the Engagement League was referenced by witness @krnel as he delegated his Steem Power to some of the top performers whilst he took a holiday - Thank you @krnel for bringing weight to the work being done here by some of Steem's top engagers!
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 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 @algo.coder! A new entrant to the league, and so being given the benefit of the doubt this week with regards to the (obvious due to name!) possibility of some programmatical voting going on, a pretty awesome table topping score!
@algo.coder if you would like to confirm that you are / are not using code (joined trails, not fronting trails, is OK) to cast your votes, so I can make a decision to include you in next weeks L 1 results. Thank you, and well done this week :)
A fine job also by @tony19r, @crypto-econom1st, @osm0sis, @mcoinz79, @steemitri, @pataty69, @voiceoff, @mistermercury, and @coolguy123 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 table topper, the immovable force.... @glenalbrethsen!
I make this his 4th week in a row at the head of the League of Engagement, which is a new record, and a fantastic show of hard work and consistent high engagement. Bravo!
In 2nd with a huge amount of comment text supporting his total, @johndoer123 - John is a fairly new member and has climbed steadily since joining the leagues.
@creyestxsa94, also a fairly new member, has climbed into the top 3 from 11th last time and has 255 2nd level or deeper comments to thank for the excellent score.
Well done all 3 of you!
Excellent engagement levels and top 10 (OK, 11!) places for @lynncoyle1, @gillianpearce, @melvadg, @maverickinvictus, @themanwithnoname, @leeart, @mhm-philippines, and @bashadow who will all be receiving some STEEM this week.

WOW!!! Thank you so much sir. I was actually wondering since you took a week off if we would have the League's this week. I'm so glad that you did. all week I was hoping that come this Sunday I would be able to see this post. It is definitely one thing that I look forward to every week since I joined your league. And it's not just because of the money or anything like that. I like being able to look at the table and see what everybody's doing.I'm not going to lie, I felt like I would do a lot better this week. But that's mainly because as I had said it seems like the place this week was very quiet. And thank you so much for the gracious delegation of more SP. As always, I will do my best to make you proud of your delegation. And also thank you what is Steem. TIME TO POWER UP!!!

Also I was wondering if there's somewhere or somehow that I could see which Witnesses you voted for for me? Not that I question you, but because I respect your decision and just want to get to know the people that are witnesses on my behalf. I know that if you pick them can follow them as Witnesses they must be great people! So I would just like a chance to go see them.
Also my man, how are you feeling? Have you finally been able to see anything other than your toilet? 😁 Thank you again for everything that you're doing. And thanks for your awesome prizes. I send all of my love you are way until we meet again. And as always ask that our creator bless you.

Apparently, I'm the immovable/unstoppable force now. Kind of hard to beat something like that. :) Not sure I'm feeling like either. All it's going to take is someone with as much time as I have, who types faster (not hard) and who knows Steemit better or who knows where to find posts faster. Oh, some higher character counts. I keep hearing about how that's supposed to help. :)

Well, whatever combination of things you're doing Glen, it's working well for you, and frankly, I'm no longer trying to keep up. haha

The competitive side of me, which I try to keep under control (and mostly succeed now) is thrilled with the idea that you're not trying to keep up, while the doubt side of me (which I mostly control, too) wonders if a) you're just saying that you're not trying but really using reverse psychology, and b) that if you can basically stay in the Top 5 without even trying, I should just give up now. :)
However, the relatively rational and trusting sides of me (which I usually allow them to do their thing) say there's enough on your plate at any given time that Steemit and specifically the leagues, while fulfilling, satisfying and somewhat a distraction, is secondary to the welfare and well-being of yourself and Brian, and that I have no reason to not take you at your word.
So, that said, I just have 299-plus other people to be concerned with. :)

Hi @abh12345,
Thanks for this League, it's fun !
Effectively, as my name is suggesting, my votes are being done via script (programmatically). But I am not following any trail, fronting any trail or something like that. It's done via an algorithm I designed to maximize curation rewards (I can't tell the exact way it's doing that, but it's based on historical analysis of the posts of an author, to determine if it's worth or not voting for him, and at what time exactly).
So I might be fronting trails, but not on purpose, my algorithm just detected that it was a good operation to vote at that time, I never pay attention to what happens after my votes anyway.
I don't know if it's OK or not. If not, I will give back the reward for it to go to the next winner in line.

Hi @algo.coder
I had assumed as much - It's pretty near impossible to gain a score over 5 without code :)
Unfortunately, I cannot place you in the league next time, but you are welcome to keep this weeks reward as a show of honesty.
Thank you!

OK, no problem.
It's just that I felt like I was making and following my own curation trail, more than anything.
Dura lex, sed lex
Can you just exclude me from League 1 for next times ? I'm gonna try to improve myself for League 2 (as I'm still doing a lot of manual curation, voting - aprox. 1/3 of my votes -, commenting, posting and all types of genuine participation).

Once again awesome to have this league open again Asher! And a big congrats to @glenalbrethsen now with a cool nickname of the immovable force! You have set the record now for time at the top, and I know how hard that is, so my hat is off to you for sure! Great job!
It is awesome to see @johndoer123 and @creyestxsa94 move into number's 2 and 3. I could tell when I saw their participation in the Play 4 a Newbie Challenge that both of them were going to be great engagers on their own! Congrats to both of you :)
Its also good to see @lynncoyle1 and @gillianpearce rounding out the top 5, you both are steady and amazing every week!
Thank you also for the prize of "0 votes to self - Spot Prizes", you found another way to encourage behavior that you seek! I will be donating my prize in your name to @friendsofgondor, so your prize will be further helping your fellow #stewardsofgondor members!
I also want to again thank @paulag and @carlgnash for making this league possible every week, it is very exciting to see a new batch of engagers that are now coming into their own and I think this league contributes to that happening!
I even see some new names on the list that are making themselves stand out, so I am excited to see the future as we continue to build this awesome community together!
Great job Asher and glad to have you back for sure! :)

Yes I hope Glen likes his new nickname and doesn't think of it being too literal :D
It's always nice to see new names mixed in with the regulars, and it gives me a good chance to share out a little delegation each week. I'm trying to get my account to 10k SP 'in use', having recently passed that (huge!) milestone of ownership - we shall see if I can do that whilst delegating a little each time.
The Spot prizes just came to mind on the day when I saw 6/7 in the 11/20 range who's not voted for themselves and done well enough to earn something. I hope the small prize 'offsets' the lack of votes to self and think in some cases it's actually more than the personal reward would have been.
Here's to a good week for us all, cheers!

I knew he would like the new nickname IF... and awesome on crossing 10k SP that is amazing... As far as usable, if you keep giving it out to people like me to use, it will make it much harder to reach your goal... The good thing though is the longer it takes to make the tree grow high, the more that the tree base grows wide. You are building a very strong base for sure!
Here's your sticker for hitting that milestone!!!

I wrote a post about this, right? You can pick your friends but you can't pick your nicknames. :)
Sad thing is, I was really trying to up my comment count, which I did, but it came at the expense of the character count, which wasn't so good. Made it much closer than I like it to be. Plus, I'm trying to get up to 50,000 points, not keep dropping. So, whatever my strategy was last week has to change for this week, or it's only going to get worse.
I am glad to be a part of these leagues, and I'm glad that I could set the standard a little higher. Maybe I'll move it some more. Maybe not. Meeting my match could come sooner than later. And I probably won't see it coming, even if I am swiveling as fast as I can. :)

You did and I remember it well... I like the new nickname though, and your abbreviate is IF.. :P
And I haven't payed as much attention to your strategy, but you are definitely setting the bar higher... I love that you have been able to maintain that level for a solid month.
I do think you need to stay on your toes as #2 and #3 are new and climbing fast, and both of them are very competitive as I saw during the Play 4 a Newbie Challenge

I can see they're pretty competitive just by the number of comments and the CL. Well, it wouldn't be the first time I guess. Just got to keep plugging along and see what happens. Not sure I know how else to do this.
My strategy was to try and comment more this week, since I've been hovering mostly in the range of high 200s to low 300s. This time I commented more than I ever have, but the CL was lower than it has been in weeks. So, apparently, I let that slip trying to comment more. Need to find that happy balance between the two. One kind of drives the other, it seems.
IF, hunh? Not sure if that quite works, but maybe I can come up with a scenario where it does. Here comes IF. Hide! I don't know. I'll work on it.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

lol... IF is what we all have to compete against. If we want to win, then we need to be better than IF. The IF is very strong, so we need to either up our game if we want to be the IF, or we need the IF to get weaker or bored.
Not sure it works yet either, but I will keep at it until I find a way to make it stick.

As it is, I have enough of time trying to be the king of my own personal castle. Remember the Mexican food decree fiasco? Yeah, that.

Thank you Mr. @davemccoy to have me convinced in joining this league, and i thank all of you who drove me towards the understanding of the true steemit community. I say true, because it was in this community that i was able to find people who really care to communicate, offer a helping hand with the only interest of participation. I am glad i am seeing you more here Dave, but sorry that i am somehow absent myself.
I already made my post, but i would like to express my gratitude to @paulag and @carlgnash who are investing so much to make this league a great community gathering friends and helping us all grow stronger. There are so many names i could thank here, for showing me how to blog, interact, ins and outs of posting etc. I thank you all and hope to connect soon with each single one of you.

I still don't worry about curation rewards. That's a small part of what I make. I have concerns that people support posts because they will get good votes from others and not because they deserve more rewards. Minnows will have to work fairly hard to make a couple of SBD a week just from voting unless they automate it and then they are not taking account of quality. I realise it's an extra source of income, but just making good comments can make them more and build their following. I'm really not bothered if minnows vote for me as long as they sincerely engage in the conversations. I'm looking for that and not flattery :)

Absolutely. I spend much time pointing out that a good comment in the right place will earn you the equivalent of weeks/months of curation rewards as a minnow.
I run the first league because people are interested and find it fun, but it's the 2nd league that i pay the most attention to by way of $ rewards and delegation.
Cheers Steve, have a good day.

I don't like automation and i don't support it. I have seen many automated posts and really don't know what people expect of that. As of making a couple of SBD a week, i have to say for myself i am happy to even reach 1 SBD a week. It is truly hard the first weeks you start off. I agree, making comments it's far more profitable, because you also get to interact with other people. Many posts have no comments and therefore no interaction whatsoever. I am glad i am here, interacting with many steemians whether new or already settled. Great to connect with you and everybody else.

I totally agree with you. I have seen a few contests similar to this league, which are trying to bring people together and show that this is a community, not just another facebook or instagram trying to post a photo and wait till you see how many likes you take. That is silly if you think that someone is quitting steemit because they are posting some photos without contest and asking themselves why they are not making money, not realizing that the universal human relationship is give and take. You have to give in order to take, and that goes around. I am glad to have made some friends here, but i realize i still have to do a lot in that perspective.

Oh wow and here I thought I was having an off week because I was kinda busy with another project that I am involved in and was not commenting in a lot of posts outside of my own.
Good thing was I am up to date to replys to comments made on my own posts bad thing I have neglected a lot of commenting outside and seeing I had only 18 2nd level comments. That is one aspect I would really want to work on the coming weeks. Hopefully I will have more time hahaha or I would need to invest in cloning technology.
Congratulations again to Glen as usual for commenting up novels hahaha your score is almost double of mine hahahahha.
I'm impressed with Lynn's number of votes! You have to tell me your secret! I want to reach those numbers although with the dust threshold and all I had to dial down on the numbers.
I truly believe that this league is important to the platform. Engagement will make sure that we don't end up a ghost town of upvote bots and just curation trails that people set automatic votes.
We need people to come online, read, curate and engage people. Only then will we keep our promising people writing their best pieces.

Congratulations to you @maverickinvictus! There is no beating our favorite novelist, is there? :) And I've been fortunate to have been delegated by Asher, hitmeasap and I "won" a contest some time ago by inquiringminds, so I really use all that steem power to help me give more upvotes. I'm also a judge in @thedarkhorse's Pay it Forward Curation contest and upvote all the entries. It's a struggle to keep my VP up, that's for sure; I too was shocked by the number of upvotes I had this week :)

Really? I keep track of my votes and they were dead on this week, as usual. Comments were a couple off, but that could easily be my error since I'm adding them up from a list on steemworld rather than pulling them as a number off of a database. At any rate, getting to over 400 different accounts to upvote them at least once, and some at least multiple times is an amazing feat, too. :)

I never keep track of any of that stuff, but I've had at least four people mention the quantity of upvotes I've made, and it doesn't feel like I'm doing any more than usual, so that lead me to wonder if there'd been an error somewhere. Next week will tell since I'd say I'm keeping the same pace more or less.

Nice. We're in the middle of an experiment.
I keep track because otherwise I end up thinking I'm doing more than I really am. Where as doing less works for everyone else, I really end up doing less. So keeping track of votes and comments has helped. I might need to keep track of CL, too, because mine was low. I'd say my CL became your votes, but I'm not sure how that translates at all. :)

My head naturally does not work in the analytical state, so it wouldn't even cross my mind to keep track and cross check my stats weekly.

Still hanging in there Mav even when you think you haven't done well - your self-expectations are high!
Realistically, top 20/30 each week is excellent, the table toppers put in a huge amount of work and time, that many users just don't have.
I'd like to be able to reward as far down the list as possible, think the first 20 collected something this week.

Might want to save some words from your awesome posts for your comments, if you need them. That would boost your CL. :)
Now, of course, you could stop writing posts, and then I wouldn't have as many places to make a comment, let alone a novel. I've told you before. You make it easy for me to comment. So, it's your fault I'm writing novels for comments is what I'm saying. :) Okay, it's more of shared blame, but still. :)

Thank you for extending the list to eleven, since I was number eleven. It has been a pretty busy week, Hope you are feeling a bit better, those virus things can be nasty. I need to try to get back to commenting a bit more, I had a lot of votes that I did not get around to commenting on, and that is one of the things that I normally do not do, vote and no comment, but some things happen I guess.
Congratulation @glenalbrethsen on setting the standard. 4 weeks, that is going to be a tough one for people to catch.
@johndoer123 and @creyestxsa94 congrats to you two also, awesome job on both of your parts. And to everyone else, wonderful to see how much we are all engaging in the community, I for one am very happy to be a part of this league.

Yes it was nice of him, and of the people that helped him reward more people, increases in pay-outs, and surprise rewards, I thought that was rather nice of him. I am going to try to up my game this week a little bit see if I can re crack the top ten, I did a lot of voting last week, but no where near my normal commenting, was just so busy. But it is spring, and the bees is being busy, so when the weather is nice got to enjoy it, winter is coming, again, all to soon.
Thank you for the comment, it reminded me to pop over to your page, and then I see Dragrosa's 30 day challenge, I may make a few entries, at the very least I will likely drop some comments on the ones that interest me.

Oh, yeah. The 30 Day Writing Challenge has been great. Quite a few people participating with I'd say good posts, too. I had to sit out on the one about five cryptos I have, because I don't have more than STEEM, and really no interest in them. One is more than enough, as volatile as they are. I guess I found my risk aversion limit. :)
Well, as long as you were a good busy, as opposed to a boring busy or a rather-do-anything-else busy, then I'd say you were productive and that it was worth it. I look forward to seeing how you do this week, then, when you're not so busy with other things.

Oh, I am still going to be busy with other things, but this week if I vote, I speak. Last week due to time pressures, I missed a lot of commenting. Tried to also help out some dust votes, so those did not get any thing said on them, but this week I think if I run across any again I may just say screw it and sound like a robot and mention it to the ones I raise up, but a few of the people I mentioned it to did not like me doing that, and one called me a vote police, (I muted that person), so still not sure how I am going to handle it, cause I don't want the voter to feel bad about giving a vote, and I don't want to sound like a Judge,Jury, and executioner of their voting habits. So I just have to play it by ear. (I wonder where that phrase originated)?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Oh, okay. I ran across one of the posts you were trying to tell people about the dust threshold. If I remember right, their reactions were more to them self-upvoting, which wasn't your point. Oh, well. What can you do? If people don't want to listen, or misunderstand, there's only so much time you can spend explaining yourself.
Play it by ear? Or judge, jury and executioner? Play it by ear is actually related to music, which makes sense. Being able to play based on what you hear rather than by notes. I looked up the origination. Looks like it was first used in 1839 in a newspaper comparing two women (not sure what they were doing, but apparently something to do with music), while the wider use of it didn't come into play (literally and figuratively) until maybe the 1930s, in another newspaper talking about the Brooklyn Dodgers, whom the writer thought 'played by ear' as opposed to, I guess, playing with a plan. :)

I have to admit, it does help to like writing if you're going to do well in an engagement league. You're always there, though, even when you say you're not that fond of writing, and there's always something else to do. Congratulations, not only on placing in League No. 2, but also for finding the balance you're seeking. I think it's great.
As for immovable, I guess we'll find out how that goes this week. More and more people seem to be joining and the newer people keep climbing the latter. I don't intend to keep this up forever, either, so we'll see how long immovable lasts. :)

I enjoy the conversation and responding @glenalbrethsen but I'm not so keen on writing long replies. I think I've got the balance thing down now for the most part and I fit in Steemit around other things rather than the other way around which is great!
The next thing I need to improve now is my going to bed earlier. I was staying up too late because I was enjoying the conversation but I've started going back to my normal bed time and reading before sleep.
I really appreciate all your comments and the research you do. Long may it continue! 😁

As long as you keep fitting in Steemit around other things and putting up posts I can engage on, I'll keep commenting and researching, how's that?
I understand the late to bed thing. It's not helpful when everyone lives in different time zones, so it's like you're all taking different shifts or something. I get up early to try to catch up with some people and then end up staying up late to try to keep up with some others. And then you're usually there before I am and then gone mid-to-late afternoon.
Everyone needs their rest so, have a peaceful restful night. :)

And I resisted the temptation to answer this comment last night even though it popped into my feed. I was still half an hour later to bed than I would have liked though.
This time difference is a real challenge as I think it's much more fun to be live commenting. But, living in different parts of the world, there's nothing we an do about it.

Something you maybe want to add to the "general views on curation rewards" is the Dust Threshold
I'm not sure though if there are curation rewards on 0.02$ upvotes, but assume there are and if you upvote a comment for 0.019$ or less and nobody else comes in to increase the upvote, the upvote is compeltely lost. (for a long lime I upvoted comments for 0.01$ just to give a sings that I've read the comment which were apperantly all turned into dust)

Indeed. I've been made aware of captain dust recently, and was like you, using a 1%'er to tag replies that 'didn't need' a reply.
The way I explain above re: hitting a comment with a vote is not so much for a reward (for anyone), just to make yourself seen, and then hopefully heard.
But yes, I'll probably add something in to the post to mention that. In reality, if you are holding less than 500/1000 SP, the focus should be more on league 2 than league 1. Something you might like from 10 months ago (when curation rewards were better than they are today!)

Well I read your article @abh12345 and I still don't get the timing of the curation stuff. I don't bother with curation at all now.
Last week I made a point of checking to see if people had upvoted themselves before I voted and I discovered that just about every post I came across, excepting those people in the Leagues vote for themselves and vote early. on exception I noticed was @whatamidoing so he deserves a plug! 😁
Anyhow, since learning about the threshold I just vote the big guys and self-upvotes 1% as an acknowledgement and leave comments as I've always done. This is giving me more opportunity to upvote comments at 0.3c although on busy days I can't do that for everyone. 😢

We had a mostly overcast day yesterday, with some rain in the morning, but today, the sun has peeked through a few times.

ok @coolguy123... first of all congrats on the awesome showing in the curation side of Asher's league... I have been so swamped with my last 2 posts that I am still catching up... But I am ready to work with you on a plan for the witnesses...
What we are planning on doing is interviews with the witnesses so they can get known to our friends and networks... We are also going to coordinate with @plushzilla and going to have artists do renditions of the witnesses to make it even more fun... I guess the first thing I would want to ask you is, how many witnesses to you know? We need to get a list developed and some order to this so that it is a steady stream of witnesses over a certain period of time. I would like to keep it fair and balanced, so hopefully we would have them all answer the same questions. I can get you a list of questions that we already have and you can let me know if they are good or not. Is that ok with you?

Well, I think household name is a fitting to you as you are there in top 10 for almost all the weeks barring few initial weeks and that shows your commenting power.
I hope it's going well with you and Brian and wish you both a good week ahead. :)

Yes, there is some nice rain here and that is making the weather cool and a pleasant one and that is a good thing for us in this scorching heat.
Yeah, week so far good as the time is moving very fast because it's that time of the year that we are having the Indian Premier League Twenty20 Cricket tournament is going on and it's my favorite one. So, the time keeps moving fast as there will be some interesting matches going on.
I hope you too are having good week and a nice Saturday :)

Thanks for the mention @coolguy123. This is always fun to be a part of. I need to figure out how to do better in League 1, though. I can't find my name anywhere, so I must have done pretty bad (since I wasn't doing all that well to begin with). Dave was laid up for a while (I see he didn't mention that), as well as everything else he's normally up to. Everyone you mention are important members of the league, and so are you. Congratulations on your placement, too. :)

Yeah, it's always fun to participate in these curation leagues. :)
It's just that we all vote on the posts of others, we need to vote at right time and right persons. Voting has to be before some whale votes are done on a posts or vote someone you know who writes good posts and there will be lots of votes with huge vote value. It's as simple as that ;) isn't it?
@davemccoy has promised he will be back with full swing on comments, so it will be some more fun.
It's always nice to to see familiar names featured in top 10 or top 20 of these leagues and you are one of those who is constantly at top.
I hope you are having a good Tuesday :)

I’ve had a decent curation rewards for last two weeks. Interesting enough I’ve done more flagging than usual as well on some spam and phishing. Was not sure how that would have an effect on my score but I’m glad with my results. Might be something I keep doing.
I really didn’t take a week off last week that other week. Oddly enough this week could be my slow week. Going be very busy with a fresh league in a game as well as preparing for a content in June. I did however increase the number of blogs I put out in a week. I might try and push a little harder to have more content out. Which does tend to have heavy impact on my comment numbers. As I have some content that can take a while to produce. I’ve been trying to find a balance and spread out those longer in the making blogs. Perhaps I’m just finally finding my balance. I’ve also enjoyed creating some shorter content as well.
I do not recall leaving 134 comments in a week I guess I was busier then I thought I was here. Have an amazing week everyone!

A solid performance this week from yourself, and earning one of the 'top 20 0 self vote prizes', a new one added this week as 'sufferance payment' for not upping oneself :)
Glad to hear you might be finding a balance. My goal is always 1 post a day (he says after going 7 days without recently!), and take the comments as they come.
Have yourself a good week!

Indeed I did notice I like that if it’s going be an a new weekly thing that is great. I notice you do try and experiment a little bit doing different things. Like that comment bounty that you did a few weeks back. That thing was rather interesting but people seem to be abusing it on other blogs. Those comment self-voters I despise. Not sure if it takes into account those kinds of people or not but I have a feeling it does not.
My goal has only been 3 a week. This week I’m in an event so should be a daily post. I really need to get into giving dlive a try more often as well. Have a wonderful week as well.

I did get a hugh flag . It was removed and we since have had very good engagement . Its was a misunderstanding and after things got worked out it turned out great in the long run .

Okay. I'm glad to hear it got removed and that it actually turned into a good thing. That's awesome. I've experienced the exact same thing, (not the flag, yet, thankfully, but the testiness) even when I'm trying to be broad and general with my phrasing. It's the problem of only having the written word to go off, and that gets compounded by language comprehension, so there you go. :)
It is funny how little communication is necessary. And how little people want to do it on what is mostly a long form platform. Apparently, everyone must love Twitter, because that's exactly what it's like. :)

Well, I wasn't even thinking of you. I've never had an issue understanding what you say. But I've definitely had problems understanding what some other's 1-3 word answers were meant to mean. It's almost like a code that I'm supposed to know but never learned.
I think you're doing just fine. Comments only need to be long enough to complete the idea. That means they will sometimes be shorter, medium and longer. But things like "Nice post" or "Thanks for sharing" by themselves aren't really comments. Those are spam.
So, no worries. I'm sure the problem was with the other person, not you. :)
You are right, though. The learning curve here is way too high. It definitely needs to be flattened out.

Another good week! Thank you @abh12345 for putting on this contest once again. I hope you enjoyed your week off.
It looks like the sponsors are generously putting more into the pot as I see a lot of people are getting bonus prizes. That's great! Things have gotten very competitive at the top and it's nice they can still win something. And it looks like 11 people got prizes for engagement this week. Thanks, Asher!
I'm once again in awe of how much content @glenalbrethsen can produce. He has been an unstoppable force of engagement since he joined. I think those first weeks had him in the top 10, but when he realized what would be needed to take the top spot, he kicked it into high gear and hasn't looked back since then. Congrats on another week as king, buddy!
Congrats to the other winners as well. You're a quality group of engagers. I'm proud to stand on the (very large) podium with you all again. :)
@lynncoyle1, @gillianpearce, @bashadow, @maverickinvictus, @leeart, @johndoer123, you've all been here before, so welcome back. Please don't take my spot in the lounge area.
@melvadg, @mhm-philippines, @creyestxsa94 welcome to the club! You did great out there and helped make Steemit a quality place to be! Thanks for being awesome. :)
For those of you who have not received your winner's circle jackets, please contact @glenalbrethsen. As king, he owns all the fabric in the land, so he controls when and where jackets get made. Also, I'm trying to distract him so I can take the crown. We have very bloodless coupes around here... except when certain people who shall remain nameless (but not the "me" kind of nameless) are the ones sewing the jackets. ;)
Have a great week everyone!

You are welcome! Horse is doing well. I'll be honest, I cheated and let him do some of the commenting this week. There were some rustlers that were causing trouble and Horse was tired, so his cousin and I broke up the rustler ring. ;) There's a mini-story for you right there.
It's going to be a lot of work. Unfortunately the more we do to distract him with comments, the more he replies back, so we're going to need to send Milk Dud ice cream to @glenalbrethsen's house so he gets caught up in trying to chew that stuff and he'll be too busy to type. Although, I'm fairly certain that he's just been gaming us into sending him free food, The Office-style.

Okay, so that video clip was pretty good, if not kind of gross. I mean, showing up and finding tons of meatballs all around your desk. Then, we find out it's all a ruse and Stanley's in on it!
I don't know how well I would fare eating milk dud ice cream and trying to type, so that might be your best bet. I wouldn't be able to use voice recognition software very well either. Double whammy. You'd have to weigh the amount of awards you might be able to get versus how much you might have to spend with the milk dud ice cream, though. And since it might not even exist yet, you'd probably have to take the time to invent it (thus taking you away from commenting while you're whipping up the delectable concoction), so there's that.
I'm afraid that comments don't distract from the game. They are the game. :)

Yeah, I wouldn't want to eat those meatballs either. They've been sitting out (and getting sat on by Dwight). Doesn't seem healthy.

A team effort? Okay, now this is getting serious. How would that work exactly. @themanwithnoname is already trying to distract me with winner circle's jackets (which I didn't even know we had, just like I didn't know about a cape or a crown until @lynncoyle1 mentioned something several weeks back), and I'm always being told to watch my back, so I can't get more swivel headed than I already am.
I don't think I'm unstoppable, so no one else should think that, either, as far as I'm concerned. These leagues are meant to be wide open, so in any given week, people's placement can change dramatically.

Oh yes...the elusive rockfish and stick fish as we used to know them. Caught many of those in my day. Largest Rockfish I ever caught was of the concrete variety, fishing down below the dam and Alton, that sucker weighed 6 1/2 pounds. Thank goodness we were fishing for spoonbill so I had about a 50 pound line on it and I was able to pull her in. And the largest stickfish I ever caught was an Elm stickfish, that son of a gun was about 32 lb and about eight and a half feet long! She fought for a good hour and a half before I got her to the bank.(I had to take it slow on this one because I only had about a 15 pound line on the pole this time and I didn't want to lose her.) I pulled her up and got her on shore, and wouldn't you know she slipped out of my hands and got loose before I got to picture.

Obligated sounds so final. Like I have to do it, like it's fate or something. A done deal. Nothing I can do about it.
If I truly am the king, which I'm not claiming to be (and have been trying to do away with the title from the beginning), shouldn't I be the one saying what I'm supposed to do? Or are you my right hand man, in charge of telling me my itinerary and my duties (even if it's a little after the fact? :)

Nah, we have to have a way to help people get their jackets back. If someone's account is stolen, we help them get it back. If their jacket is stolen (or purposely trader for an ice cream truck to distract the king), then the king is obligated by "fair play" rules to help them get it back or get another. Part of the job. :D
No, there's nothing you can do about it... except resign. Don't make me get @abh12345 in here to tell you that you have to replace her jacket. It's in the fine-print of the League. ;)
Yeah, you're the king, but I tell you what you have to do as the one holding that position. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. Ha ha.

See, this is one of the big reasons why I've never been keen on holding power. It sounds like that I really don't have that much power at all. And if it were truly like that, I'd be the most powerful man on the face of the planet because of my wife (telling me what to do). So, sorry, man, I ain't buying it. 😬
Asher makes the rules, so if he wants to enforce something, he'll enforce it. In the meantime, everyone is free to do whatever they want within the rules of the leagues, which, if that includes having winner circle jackets in the first place, or trading them for ice cream, go for it.
Thanks for trying to distract me with all this, but I think it's having the exact opposite effect. :)

Since she's the one who traded in the champion's jacket for an entire ice cream truck, she can bring the truck to the reunion. :)
Also, when she wins again, she gets the crown and cape back, which I'm guessing she thinks, just guessing, is waaaaaaaaaaay cooler than the jacket because she traded said jacket for the ice cream truck. :)

I'm not the only producing the content. The two of us get going and we just keep going. I think it's great, so thank you for your part of helping with the content production.
As far as my placement history goes, I debuted somewhere around No. 25, 26, woefully unprepared for what was going on here. The next week, I came in third place, mainly because all numbers were down. Since then, I've hit the No. 1 spot.
As for this winner circle's jackets—everyone's on their own. This whole concept of owning all the fabric in the land is so 12th century. There's actually places called stores where everyone can go and purchase all kinds of fabrics. Everyone can literally make as many winner's circle jackets as they want, without my involvement, whatsoever.
Nice try, though. :)

Hello!
I honestly think this challenge is a wonderful and remarkable idea, so well done to everyone who's involved! I would really like to enter the Leagues, is it possible?
I deeply believe everyone should give value to the curation and my goal on Steemit is to improve my experience every day through interaction (which comes basically from voting and commenting). So I would be proud to be part of this project, trying to be more "competitive" in a good way!
A big thank you to @girolamomarotta and @steemitri who let me know about the Leagues! Great!
And, of course, thanks to @abh12345!
I am looking forward to starting this new challenge !!!

I also would like to congratulate @abh12345 for this league which is really helping out a lot of people, helping out in curation as well as in engaging people all together, something you don't see on regular posts. This post brought up many accounts i didn't even know existed. Great idea. I also would like to say thank you for all the support and welcome i have been receiving so far in this league. I wish the best to all.

Thanks for the heads up on the Utopian hack/problem . I'm glad it turned out not to have caused to much damage . I changed keys just after reading your post . And many others did the same
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

No worries.
I would also suggest revoking your auths to anything you don't plan to use (or as a stricter measure, before and after use) as changing keys will not reset auths on Steemconnect.
You can do that here: https://v2.steemconnect.com/apps/authorized
My key change was a knee-jerk reaction to thinking that my posting key had been hacked.

Hi @abh12345! Thanks for doing this as always. I have a question about the rules. I use steemauto to do some of my voting (not all of it), though I watch it pretty closely and it's not intended to be a shortcut and I don't optimize it by whomever I think can get me the most SP. I have some of my fellow @teamgirlpowa members on it, some of the projects I support, and a few creators that I know I can trust to put out quality content. Does that disqualify me from League 1? If so, my apologies--it wasn't my intent to deceive and game the system!

Hi Mallory :)
Thanks for checking in and your keenness to see the data! Don't worry about being part of a trail, or casting some of your votes automatically, this is fine. Coding your votes is a step up from that, and while I appreciate that still, it's not really fair on the 99% who aren't using this approach.
I have read your message re: witness selection on another thread, and do intend to talk more about my choices and reasons soon.
Have a good week!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Okay, good to know!
Regarding the witness selection thread, it's less that I feel that you and your cohort are obligated to reveal your picks and explain them, as much as feeling frustrated by the thought that we as less experienced users are supposed to automatically know who is best to vote for out of hundreds of options. I've read plenty of witness threads trying to determine who to vote for and I honestly wouldn't know the "bad guys" from the good from the way they represent themselves (for obvious reasons). I didn't see anything wrong with a newbie posting his picks and asking for feedback--in fact, I think that's the right way to go about things. If you read a witness thread from someone who looks like they're going about things the right way, why wouldn't you ask for their opinion? I understand that there may have been frustration but I can't stand it when I think someone is being bullied unfairly or being condescended to, so I'll speak up if I see it.

Yes I think it's a good thing to ask and post about witnesses. You can decide what you feel is a good witness, and can talk of them being honest, or a good techie, or whatever - they like cats, it's all good :)
It's possible to proxy (let someone you think is knowledgeable to handle) your votes, which could be an option to start out with?
The list of witnesses is here: https://steemian.info/witnesses
and you can see who votes for who here: https://steemian.info/whovotes
Hope that helps!

I really felt like I had done nothing last week, for various reasons! Still at 25, so it was probably not as bad as I thought.
Due to circumstances I will go down a lot more for the next 2 or 3 weeks (Ouch, the little competition devil inside me is so hurt), but I’m sure I’ll be back!! Moewahaha!

Then, congratulations for placing 25th, if things are going to get worse. That's because of the new round of surgery, right? I think you said it would be happening soon. Well, we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers and hope it improves things over this last one.
Of course, if you'd stop doing that crazy happy dance, that might help. I mean, that'd have thrown my back out with the first two or three moves. :)

I have been hearing about this engagement league for weeks. Somehow I never manage to find the start of a round. Can I just comment here and be added next time the rounds start up again?
Since I don't make a post as often as I should this could be the perfect way to challenge myself to participate more.
I am seeing some familiar faces here. Maybe someone will let me know? I am trying super hard to not be a nuisance to all the super busy folks who have been so helpful to me.

I'd just like to shove it in everyone's face that I finished second to last...woot! And specifically, I'm looking at you, third to last, I'm coming after your ranking next time. You probably think you're all comfortable, out of sight sitting in your comfy position, well, you're not @charisma777. I will take you out then I will slowly move up the ranks, 4th, 5th, 6th from the bottom. @katrina-ariel, @fitinfun, @barge, @cryptoeater - you are all on my radar and will be utterly destroyed soon enough.
Specifically though, I'd like to call out @herbertholmes. I don't want you to feel too bad that I crushed you (completely, entirely) this week. I don't want to bask in the glory of my achievement, gloating like some horse's ass. That is not my spirit, that is not what I'm about. I would like you to know that I intend to purchase yet another lambo this week with my Steem earned and I will be doing doughnuts in your neighborhood in celebration.
