The Engagement League - Sponsored by @curie
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)
- Comments - replies to replies - depth > 2 (C R)
- Number of people spoken to (PS)
- 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 among the top 25% of the league entrants!
Congratulations to this weeks Engagement League winner, @janton! 🏆
Yep, he's done in again, @janton is way ahead and takes first prize for something like the 765443 week!
@smithlabs is in 2nd with an excellent final score, a really good attempt at bridging the gap to the runaway leader.
And in 3rd spot, @delishtreats is in 3rd with a host of entrants clipping at her heals.
Excellent engagement levels also from @macoolette, @steemflow, @maquemali, @brittandjosie, @chekohler, @veryspider, and @cicisaja, 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: @scrawly, @bengy, @niallon11, @coinsandchains, @gillianpearce, @melinda010100, @cryptocopy, @herbertholmes, and @lynncoyle1.
Well done everyone!
The Curation League / Rewards based
Please find the rules in a previous post.
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.
Congratulations @steemitri!

Another week, another powerful performance from @janton. I think we need to start him off about -30000 point for the week. Just to see how much he will win it by then. Nice job man and excellent work. Anybody putting in that much graft every week deserves the win.
What I actually find the most interesting stat from the league is the fact that there are only 5 self votes between the top twenty peole over the whole course of the week. I think that's amazing. Not only have you managed @abh12345 to get hundreds of people more active on the site, you have actually managed to condition people into a whole different mindset for operating their accounts. I know personally that i would have always up voted my actual posts during the week, not the comments but whatever i was blogging. Whereas now i have not up voted myself once in the past few weeks.
Yep, it's a lot of time and effort for sure, and a prize well deserved.
For most of the top 20, the prize pays more than a weeks worth of self-votes - certainly on posts alone. I wonder how many would keep this approach if there were no prizes?
Cheers Niall!
No worries. Everything on here worth doing takes time and effort and the people who have realized that tend to be the ones who are doing well. They are in it for the long haul.
It would be an interesting social experiment to see how people would vote without the rewards as we know that incentives work. I think that if a person had been conditioned for long enough not to do it then they would more than likely not restart self - voting. However a person that had only just stopped in order to try and win the steem would probably go straight back to it. Mindset is hugely important for anything and it takes a lot of hard work and effort to change a persons mindset on anything. Especially when there are money or rewards involved.
That applies to the world in general but we do have a lot of well intentioned people on the site so maybe the result would be different on steemit to a business of some sort....????
Looks like @smithlabs has a very good chance at @janton, Just look at the comment length stats, simply amazing numbers. Yep there could be some solid book commenting coming up soon, I like the longer comments especially when attached to a very well done post, the amount of additional input is always appreciated by myself, and I am sure others. beats the pis out of "Nice Post - Posted with ulog/partiko, busy or whatever tag line" comments.
Myself, a little improvement on most numbers from last week. Up from 44th last week to 40 this week and comment length getting better again up to 46000. Still wish I could get around to voting on more people and varied accounts, but I am trying to keep my vote relevant, so if you see miss or not voting on a comment to my content, I have tried to go and vote on a content of yours so you can have some vote benefit other than seeing it dusted off. A good week, I had some fun, and looking forward to the coming week.
It's a good starting point anyway. I only joined a few weeks ago and I'm fairly sure that week I was in position number 44. Once I saw what was required that gave me a huge push the following week and made it into the top 10.
Part of it was from following the right people. A lot of the people on this list post good content which is important and when you give a good and thoughtful comment they will reply in kind. That's where most of mine came from was having proper discussions rather than one off commenting which is slow, time consuming and can be a bit boring. When I found the right people and posts it became a lot easier.

It's actually week 34 for me, I have slowed down a little bit and well there have been a lot of new people join/ask to have their curation and engagement levels tracked. I don't know if I started the count correctly, by the way I have been counting, Next week - -will be the - - - 50th - - - week of Asher tracking people by their request. and will be week 35 for me. I am not much of a numbers person, but he has the numbers available and puts out a nice list. I used to be up in the top ten at one time, but I was doing much much more commenting. I expect it will pick back up when it starts to snow again and gets real cold. I am also hoping the price of steem will go up just a little bit to where I can vote for more content, and return to voting on the comments left on my post.
I didn't even realise it had been going for that long. I would be the same as yourself and in summer am a lot busier so I don't really go onto the site much at all. Now that the weather has gone bad I spend a lot more evenings in the house so my interaction has gone up accordingly.
What I have noticed from the few weeks I've been following the league is that it gets tougher every week. When I compared the points over a few weeks you needed a higher amount every time to make the top twenty. Obviously the new people joining every week have driven up the competition massively. I can only imagine how big the difference is since you joined 34 weeks ago. I think that we all hope the price goes back up since the motivation between seeing one cent votes to ten cent is a huge difference.
The vote price difference is a big thing. And yes the engagement levels are increasing it seems every week. Not so much for the award of being in the top ten of the league, I think it is just that people are learning that it really is okay to make a comment on a post. It took me when I first joined steemit a little bit to get into the flow of leaving comments, and then I had a comment flagged, and that slowed my commenting down somewhat, but I quickly overcame that minor set back and moved on and decided I was going to look at steemit as they advertised it to me a Social Crypto site, so I started trying to be more social, If I read an Authors story and I liked it and I voted on it by god I had a right to comment on it, and I did, on a lot of Stories. Steemit has some amazing story tellers, and they like getting feed back. I thought that was great when i first joined. Now I have gotten so busy on steemit that I rarely have time to read some of the stories, but I still do on occasion. Anyway that was how I first got into commenting.
Like I said, I think more and more people are seeing steemit as more than a Cryptocentric environment, people are starting to have fun and enjoy themselves here. We all at one time or another want to share our thoughts and opinions on things that others say.
Congratulations!! 4 steps higher is not bad, its a big inprovement! May you climb up more steps this week..
I agree, those two are battling over a huge turnout! They have been commenting like there ars not human hahahaha.. i always wonder where they get all their energies!

Its a hard world here 😂 but 4 places in a week is great. Going to See what this week Will bring I just do y know what to Change !
I got higher than previous week. I need to do my work twice to get into top 20 th. I am glad that it is showing improvement.
Improvement is good to see and I'm glad to hear it, cheers!
Congratulations!! Its a big inprovement already.. keep it coming.. we want you to soar high and be in the top 10!! Hehe

Cheers Peter, thank you for your sponsorship of 'lucky 25' and the Engagement League!
Always done with a plessure!
@paulag add in this league my user name is @steemjetdiscord
Wow! Look like my formula is doinh better than I predikted! I am now number 61 on L1!
@cicisaja, wow! Top 10!
@lynncoile1! Wow! Top 19! Or is it @linncoyle1? 😀
@glenalbrethsen, seems like you didn't spend much time on Steem this week. Hope everything's fine.
And, Asher, please do expand the L2 table, I couldn't find my name on it. Thanks.
100 makes that list pretty long I think. You finished in 110th place on the Curation League - close!
Hey, @aneukpineung78.
I didn't spend that much time. I hope to spend my normal amount this week as long as the powers that be can keep the blockchain running and quit running into bugs that seize it all up. Sheesh.
Things are okay, my wife is much better and relaxing now with her sisters in Mexico and hopefully will continue to take it easy for the duration of her trip.
I never find my name on the curation table, so you're in good company. You might want to figure out how to get up the table, though. And then when you do, tell me how you did it, will ya? :)
i saw your name everywhere in steemit!
I'm not sure if this is good or bad!
do you work for steemit?
hehe :)
Nope, I'm just a guy who cares a lot for Steem!
Cool i got it. Loyal for steemit!
Posted using Partiko Android
Thank you Asher! I expected some improvements but NOT like that! This is what happens when I'm spending a week at my in laws while my husband is traveling on business, lol!
Congratulations everyone!!!
Two good reasons to escape to Steem!
Congratulations on your 3rd place finish @delishtreats!
Woow first time in months that I made it to the list!
What's going on here then?!
No idea. Just found some interesting posts and discussions.
Not a bad result then. A few more weeks like this and you'll be well on you way to that dolphin status. The more you talk the more you earn. Just need to get up to the top of the list next.
Posted using Partiko Android
Just noticed that I do need to double my engagement to get into the top 10.
I used to be there frequently, but real life things are taking over :)
Already glad that I made it to the list since the beginning of July. Will be glad if I can stay in the list!
At least you know where you stand with the list. It can be done even if it takes a lot of time and effort. I think that you get a great benefit from doing it too. Not from whatever prize that you earn but from the people that you end up interacting with because you are being so active on the site.
I have gained more votes and followers in the past two weeks of stepping up my game compared to the two months before that. It's a win win.
Just wanted to say congrats to everyone. My own score is way down this week. My U A score went up a little so that is something. There's always next week.
As always thanks Asher still loving the league and your list.
Hey, @abh12345.
Finally, I get to leave a comment on this post. Having the blockchain down for 12 hours is definitely a hindrance, but I'm trying to be upbeat and positive and thankful that it didn't take another minute.
Yeah, right. :) Best move on.
I rolled in at 77 this week. Better than being off the grid, which I'll note actually does have 100 folks this time. I'm glad it wasn't just me hallucinating the lack of numbers.
I can't say I did that much more this past week than I did before. 10 more comments, which raised everything else accordingly. If this is the Top 20%, I hesitate to ask what the other 80% is like, unless there's a bunch more people hitting the 6000 range.
At any rate, it's not my intent to hang in the 70s, but to get myself back up into contention, so I won't dwell on what others are doing on the other end of the spectrum. However, I will need to have a blockchain up and running with which to record my efforts. And I promise I will not swerve into that for the remainder of this comment.
Thank you, as always, Asher, for this contest. Long live the Curation and Engagement Leagues!
To the estimable folks at @curie. I feel like you know how I feel about your involvement. I hope I have fully and duly expressed it. Since you are looking to expand or increase the amounts you allocate or the contests you sponsor, and since Asher has already handed in his application to which I attached my own sentiment on the matter, I'll just say, I'm grateful for all that you've done and do all over the STEEM platform. You are one of the reasons why I and I would dare say many others are still here.
Finally, congratulations to @janton, @smithlabs, and the rest of the Top 10. As always, well done, and keep it up.
To all of the rest—we are doing the needful work of making STEEM a social platform. Without this work, it would not be nearly what it is today. With whatever time you have, I hope you will use it to keep this community active and interactive.
Onward and upward.
And I'm finally getting round to a reply of sorts :)
Yes, best not look at what's going on below the top 100. We have about 50 members with a minus score...
Just to confirm, the sponsorship has arrived and so there will be at least 8 more weeks of boosts to the key engagers. Looking forward to seeing you rising 'back where you belong' in the coming weeks,
Cheers Glen!
Well, we'll see how things go, particularly this week. I'm already on par to outdo my last three weeks performances combined, which I'm taking as an accomplishment even though it's only half of what I've been able to do. :) Today will depend largely on how much I get distracted by the Oregon vs. Stanford college football game before it even starts, and then how long it takes to get dinner ready. It's not looking good.
Also, lurking out there is when we'll reach consensus with the bigger and better version of HF 20 and whether or not that will throw a wrench into the works next week (or even today) like it did on Monday. That's not supposed to happen! Yeah. I get that a lot around here. Be positive! How about we just be practical. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Just no breath holding. :)
howdy sir Asher! hey I missed seeing you in the top ranks this week! thanks again for the wonderful contest that you put on and curie sponsors, it's truly a blessing for how many people you help.
Congratulations to the top ten and everyone who upped their game this week! God bless you!
Howdy champ!
Yes not a great week for me, and I suspect the same again this week. However, I'm confident you will be up there battling it out. :D
I'm sorry to hear that the week was not a great one for you but hopefully that will be an anomaly going forward. As far as the contest I'll be at the top but I have no idea if I will be the very top because I know that smithlab is inspired and is trying hard to knock me off! lol.
And that would be a great and fun, huge upset for him so if he does that I will be happy for him because he is a great guy!
Is it a secret as to when the time is that the contest ends on Saturdays?
thank you sir for getting back to me.
Congratulations to the winners 😊
Still searching for that formula that's going to get me in there haha
Wow, lots of happening Steemians here! Congrats everyone!! Such a happy, chatty group. I like :) May I participate too @abh12345? Thank you!
Yes you certainly can! Add to the list, post out tomorrow. Good luck!
Thank you @abh12345!
Over 10k for the first time! I knew I was aggressive this week and with my goal to climb up the @steem-ua ladder, I hope to find a consistent place up here for sure. I am now tracking this score on a weekly basis as an important metric for my definition of progress here in the ecosystem. Thanks again for this work!
Glad to hear it, cheers!
Have you climbed the UA score ladder this week?
Still trying to understand it but my UA score is higher but I have dropped 35 places after climbing over 100 last week. I think it has to do with the amount of people participating... not sure but will spend time this week going through some details.
Yahoo... suddenly I am at the top of no self vote list. Am I improving or a lot of people decrease their activity due to Steemit price? Either way, I'm good kekekeke.
Just slowing down to make you feel better!
Lol now that's funny, @scrawly and @bengy are going to have a shootout this week. I think that is one of the great parts of this contest, most are super competitive, but we all seem to get along and still have a bit of fun.
It's all fun and games until you are battling it out for the top... Then it gets deadly serious!
Way to rain on that parade @bengy ;)
Haha... I'm sure you've said that to @janton!
I think we have a few less engaged for one reason or another, but to place that high I think you've also upped your interaction, nice one!
Yes yes, more glory and money for me. Won't complain XD.
Regardless of why, congratulations are in order @scrawly :) Nice job!
Just curious, has there been much change pre and post Steem UA?
In what way? Comment output? Off the top of my head, I would say the top 10 not so much, but think the lower ranks have moved up in score on average.
Bases on my understanding of the UA score, engagement is one of the factors in there algorithim. So I was wondering if this has driven a lot of people to comment a lot more to improve their UA score
Hi Asher @abh12345,
thank you for your work.
Could I know how many points I would make without my 8 self-votes? Thank you, man!
Posted using Partiko Android
I would say, 'a few hundred more' points without the self-votes. If that puts you in the top 20, then maybe it would be worth trialing no self-votes for a week? Good luck!
thank you for the spot prize again @abh12345. it's very much appreciated as always.
It's interesting to see a new crowd taking to the top. 😁
Have a fun week one and all!
Well now... there goes @janton and his rocket fueled chair again! Congratulations my friend... I think it's pretty well established that we can expect to spend our lives on a steady diet of your dust! Awesome performance!
Congrats to everyone else who "placed;" it's wonderful that we have a community like this to help us all move forward with our Steemit ambitions. Thanks @abh12345 for overseeing all this and crunching the numbers every week! This place is a more enjoyable experience, thanks to your efforts!
This week, I made a concerted effort to make the top-25 and ended up at 28th. It's my best showing so far, and my 20th consecutive week in the top-100. That said, having experienced what my efforts this week earned me, I have mad respect for those who sit at the top of the leagues, week after week.
Let's all go out there and have a great week!
=^..^=
Thanks I Will greets from lucky number 7
Woooot woooot!! Another fantastic week!... thanks again ash @abh12345 even if you are quite busy and with new work..
Congratulations!!!!
Special shout to my two good friends who seem pretty unshakeable @janton, and to @smithlabs for maintaining 2nd spot for two rows and you almost break the big gap there!!
To my WW family, a few had been busy and away but you'll catch up this week i know.. 😙
@dreemsteem @eveningart @anutu @mimismartypants
@steemflow haha i almost beat you there because of my 3 selfvotes that i dont know where is that coming from!! 😂🤣
@brittandjosie i am seeing your big leap over there!! Woooohoooooo you gooo gurl!

I am seeing you already on top for next week.....haha....keep up the good work. Next week i might feature near you..so its all yours....

Posted using Partiko Android
Yes quite busy, and still catching up on replies! Good luck this week :D
Another week and there are a lot of new names near the top, but you know who is still stuck up there in first place! Geez, I need some rainy days to force myself back inside!
I'm so glad to have hit one of the "no self-voting" spots too! Thanks Asher and @curie :) I was expecting nothing here this week, so it's nice to be pleasantly surprised; I'm also pleased with my position considering how much of the week I actually took off.
Happy Sunday bud!
Oh yeah...congratulations @janton blah blah blah :)
:D
Happy Saturday! Yes, pretty slow to get round to the replies here, sorry about that! The break was welcome though, and I'm glad to see you are doing the same.
One week Lynn, you are going to win this thing again!
hahaha you're getting to last Sunday's comments on Saturday; you took a page outta my book :)
Take a break anytime and never apologize to me about it!
That's what I keep saying!
Awesome job again Asher, its always good to look and see where everyone ranks. No matter how bad I did, I still want to see where I stand. And I think everyone is also in that same mindset. That's what make this so good. You quantify how we are doing relative to a "group" of people that we all admire, so it is a measurement that is meaningful week in and week out. So thank you very very much for taking the time to do this every week!!!
And to @janton, omgosh. I don't even know how to wow x 1 million. You are truly incredible and leave no doubt in anyone's mind. Its very good to have you a part of Steemit and the total experience we all share together, and trust me when I tell you, that this is a better place because of your efforts and actions! Keep it up and glad to know you :)
Thank you Dave!
I've been slacking too this week, but at least there are many carrying the load. And we got the sponsorship again :D
Thanks, as always, asher <3 You are such a wonderful organizer !!!
Everyone else, keep up the engagement <3 You are all lifting the pulse of Steemit even as the blogging platform slows down ! You are doing great work <3 <3 <3
Keep it up, awesome people \o/
Thank you @veryspider and well done on your placing this week!
Yahoo, @steemflow I got you! At least for now... But that is good, just tail behind me, yeah? 😂
Hey @abh12345, I think the prize for top engagement should be different for those with zero upvotes. Like @janton, @smithlabs, @delishtreat, myself, @brittandjosie, @chekohler and @cicisaja should also have prizes for zero upvote aside from the engagement prize, yeah? 😜
Congratulations @cicisaja for your rebound on the green list! 😃
Congratulations to all the winners! Well done for another great week. 👍👏
Thanks again to @curie and @abh12345! 🙏
YES you to did not know you were in a battle with My friend @steemflow 😉
I am not battling with him. He was the one who's been tailing me for this week's round so there, he's right behind me. 😂
Well done on your prize position again this week @macoolette, thanks for taking part :D
Hahaha! Nice answer... where's the other price for zero upvote? 😂
Thank you @macoolette 😉 congratulations for the 4th this week. Look at @delishtreats 👏👏 what a fresh list...
Thank you. 😊
@macoolette all credits to me...hahaha..do not forget that....you passed me only by engaging with me....lol...

Oh yeah? Thank you then. Let's do it again. Just keep tailing me, okay? 😂

I wish I can grab that opportunity but I just arrived here in the province which was one of those hit by typhoon Ompong. I think I'll also be busier outside Steemit this week. 😊
Hahaha, I agree with you on the zero upvotes one @macoolette! :)
Congratulations! Great place for you this week!
Great! Someone agrees with me. Let's go chase @abh12345 because look at his reply. He's brushing it off. 😂
Let' see what we can do about it! :D
👍😃
Thanks for the Steem, Asher! It's quite nice to get a prize for talking too much! 😉 I'm just so glad that there are so many others here that like to talk, too! Congrats everyone!
Congrats!!! Yes its really so generous of ash giving away prizes for us who cant stop talking hahahahaha... im glad to see you back at the game! 😍

Posted using Partiko Android
Baie dankie! Lol I'm not even going to lie, I really went hard this week on engagement since it was my first week and I thought I'd be in top spot but when I look at the accounts at the top there is really no way you can beat them, they must have some sort of machine learning going because that's not humanly possible
Wow! Congrats on your first week! Not bad at all!
Dont let them get you down.. hahahaha you can do it, you can beat them up! If you must know those two big men up there, they are on steemit 36 hours a day! 😉😂
Posted using Partiko Android
Lol I thought they had an unfair advantage. I'm not even sure I have that much to say per week, I was already pushing myself ot the limit as is
Hehe take it easy.. its just your 1st week, there is no pressure. The list are just numbers with pretty and cute names. They are just there to inspire you.
Its kinda tough to start but if you become used to it, you will never realize you are already climbing higer to the top as you were just having fun.. sooooo relax! 😉
Posted using Partiko Android

I love the comment section, and the comments. Now I am not one that generally likes meme's, but that being said, those two from @bengy and @niallon11 were, well I don't know, I guess just very good for the comment thread, I thought they were great.
Sometimes it's just nice to see a bit of banter. One of the things that seems to be lacking sometimes is a bit of fun and friendliness. Hopefully over time projects like this will get people involved and having some fun at the same time.

Well ,
Yes, people do need to lighten up, I mean really how many crypto is falling, crypto is rising, oh to the moon, stories can you read. I like looking at the pictures reading the stories seeing different things, reading of hopes and dreams, even the occasional nightmare, it does not all need to be serious, there is plenty of room for fun and games.
Exactly. There are plenty of serious posts and topics fair enough but this is also meant to be social media as well as blogging. So I would like to see more of the social side. All fun a games should be wolcomed and hopefully when communities are finally introduced we will be able to see more of this. More threads for this type of content so that people can see whatever they are in the mood for. The biggest drawback to the site right now is how hard it is to talk to people. We really have to use an external site to do it. Discord or steem chat.

Cheers guys, the more banter the better here!
Another fun week! Started using my smart phone when waiting in line...where ever. That might be making me long winded I guess, ROFLOL!
Met some good people this week too, and that is the best of all!
Finally got rid of the self votes, must have been in a hurry last week, but slowed down this time.
What do you think will happen here after the Hard Fork? It looks like it might drastically change the upvotes here on steemit on the 20th, or am I misreading this change?
:)A major congratulations to you!!!! You almost had him there! I am soooo proud of your huge turnover on your engagement this past two weeks.. the two of you are amazingly awesome.. you has been taking the league up!
And you said you got slowed at that rate??😮.. i dont see aby slowing down there.. hehe
HF20 will definitely change something here. And i am excited as well as to all the changes it has. Change is not bad. I think it will start on Sept 25 11am est.

I will not catch him, but I like pushing him, ROFLOL! He is unbelievable at the computer, I just put in what Time I can.
I have been kidding him about me being stuck at 49, but he is working harder than I am; so I still kid him that steemit likes him better than they like me!
I thought the hard fork was the 20th, but I haven't seen that anywhere. So it is to be the 25th? Steemit needs to grow, So if it helps, or speeds, that growth; I am happy, and ready for this change!
:DYou two are incredible!! Jaws dropping! I really have no idea how you two is doing it.. i am hands up on your greatness...
Hahahahaha you crack me up here!! You big boys have a big big problem at hand.. ahahahahaa 🤣😂.. but really 49 has its toll, when you reached that point it really is so long to cross over at 50! I kept wondering too.. i thought it was just me back then.. hahahaha
Here is a link, you might want to read more into it.. im not really fully equipped on the topic hahaha..

Posted using Partiko Android
It does seem to be a hard limit of some kind, but they will NOT run me off, ROFLOL! We have been bothering each other from the start, and I enjoy the exchange!
But what about YOU, you did very well too! Placed in the Money! Good Job Girl, keep after it.
Thanks for the link! Good to know what is going on.
:)Well it is the exhange of messages that makes it more fin and excited at times.. somehow this kind of coomunication is similar yo the conventional way of sending out mails.. the only difference, here it is real time. Mails can be read and sent at once, while the other has to go through the postal office..
Hahaha.. i like the idea that you two big boys are having the best if times here.. i love seeing you both giggles at boy talks.. hahaha do you?
Posted using Partiko Android
Every chance we get, ROFLOL! He is good people, for a Texan. :) But it is fun to joke back and forth!
:)Congratulations @smithlabs! Second place woooo hoooo :) hahaha even using your phone everywhere, that darn @janton and his magic chair cannot be beat!!
Thanks, it is hard to beat a 12 hour a day shift at the computer! He is a caveman for sure, But I do like pushing him a little, ROFLOL! But I did answer him from the pizza joint tonight, so he knows I am after him. :)
It has to be the pink chair....
:)I would not be overly concerned about the fork, as long as the chain continues to work that is :)
I suspect there may be less votes, but these will likely be from small accounts front-running bots - most of use will be unaffected I think.
Nice work this week, it's almost time for a new post!
Thanks, I have been trying to push him some, ROFLOL! But I don't think I worry him much, because he has more computer time.
We had a scare when the trial launch crashed! I hope they found all the bugs! I will stop voting, until I figure out what the hard fork actually means. It is a little vaporous. I was a little surprised that I need $500 SBD to become a minnow, that is why I decided I should be proud pond scum, LOL!
Next week should be VERY interesting, to say the least!
:)Howdy there sir @smithlabs from the majestic mountains of Northeast Georgia. LOL
It changes the dust vote issue a little, here's an analysis I read that was pretty good at quantifying it.
https://steempeak.com/utopian-io/@crokkon/how-will-the-hf20-dust-vote-changes-affect-the-vote-values
@abh12345 actually did the utopian review on it.
You are just going to have to push harder, lol, it's rough keeping up with a robot who can comment every 2-4 minutes they are online.
Hello from Green Country here in Oklahoma! Always good to talk to you, since we are both consultants for life, ROFLOL!
I will have to get out the tablet to use your link, it does not like my Linex. But I will soon.
Yes that robot in the pink chair is hard to catch, some of us have other things to do.
:)lol, I think I'm going to start using an intro link like that. It hits like a 100 characters. If ole Jon boy uses that 1000 times(which is possible for him) That's 100,000 characters that are pretty much copy and past.
It would add numbers, if it doesn't run people off. Not a bad Idea overall. He is a steem powered animal for certain!I have to do longer posts to have any chance at all; because he posts so many times, he is not within reach any other way!
:'(Congrats To Everyone. @smithlabs wow, you are getting dang close to knocking your bro off the podium. @abh12345 thanks for devoting the time to improve peoples experience on steemit, engagement and retention are critical for the future of the platform.
My pleasure, thank you for taking part and good luck this week!
This week I will be lucky to even make the top 100. I've been rather busy catching up with work, and have barely been able to keep up with steem stuff.
Congratulations ladies! Look at you @del8shtreats and @macoolette 😍 wonderful engagers! You are still the most friendly @steemflow.
Aahh.. @janton👐 howdy there? Still the best of the best!
Thanks @cicisaja it was great engaging with all of them. @delishtreats is complete surprise package so do @macoolette engaging and interacting with all of you is real fun....👌
Posted using Partiko Android
Well @steemflow.. I'm surprised with the 3rd place too :D
Hahaha...@delishtreats you pulled out of nowhere..to be very frank i was counting on few others..even some of them told me....they going top on the table...in the meantime you give us a delightful treat...😉
Posted using Partiko Android
Hahaha, I had a lot of time last week.. I was spending time with my in laws so didn't have to do anything except of eating and sleeping, lol! It saves a LOT of time! :)
I don't expect such strong weeks going forward though so there will be a chance for others to come back to the top :D
Omg...even in sleeping and eating you manage to do so manythings...hahaha..
The ups and down...same with me....last few week had free time and now bit occupied...hopefully to see some new thing...atleast other should also get chance..haha
Posted using Partiko Android
Thank you Cici!! I'm so surprised to see me there!! I was expecting some improvement but not like this! And let's be honest, I don't think it will ever repeat, lol! It's a LOT of work! I don't know how @janton is doing it EVERY WEEK! :D
A good week for the ladies I think with many in the top 20 :D
Alot off ladies in the top20 ?
Brilliant job everyone! I've been a little bit quiet recently- but seeing how amazing everyone else is has just given me a massive inspiration boost! Looking forward to seeing if I can pull my rank up a bit this coming week (or at least until Friday when I won't get to touch a computer again until Sunday night - BAH!) ;)
E x
Hi there sweet @eveningart! 😙😚
I know you'll make it back up in the game this week.. miss @dreemsteem will be for sure.. we even miss you back at the WW house too.. work do sometimea caught us up.. maybe mine is this week, i have too many meetings set this week and darn no net!!
Posted using Partiko Android
Hey lovely! Congratulations on another brilliant week! I know what you mean- last week was like that for me at work too - I hope it all goes well for you <3
how i wish every week is brilliant and awesome! hahahaha...
let us just sing it..
You don't gotta go to work, work, work, work, work, work, work
But you gotta put in work, work, work, work, work, work, work
You don't gotta go to work, work, work, work, work, work, work
Let my body do the work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work
We can work from home, oh, oh, oh oh
We can work from home, oh, oh, oh oh
Haha my brilliantly crazy loon ;)
Oh no, 2 days off ahead? You'll have to put in a lot of effort during the week then, good luck!
I know- gutted- but sadly stroppy grandmothers have to come first... and you're in big trouble if she sees you on your phone- let along on a computer ;)
lick by little lick i am arriving at the core inside of this engagement lolipop. congrats to all you activators chomping in the top 20
Planning on eating the top 20? That's a novel approach! :D
Nice work rising up the table!
well i never leave the table without eating everything on my plate. my momma raised me with manners. TBH i forgot most of those manners
Congrats everybody! Though I am a little disappointed there is no one that will give @janton a run for it! Is he too powerful in his new chair?
I may have to contemplate another blast....
Yesssss he is!! He has been sitting on that throne for quite so long already. Hehehe... and there is @smithlabs who is trying to get that, he is doing so great at it. This week he really had came close!!
I was hoping you could get that chair this week? Can you? 😀
Posted using Partiko Android
The only man to beat him in something like 12 weeks. Is he or isn't he going full engagement this week? :)
I'm happy that I am not too far down with 'normal' engagement, the top ten is very exciting too. Its just that sticky top spot ;p
I think I need to upgrade my tech, fast-reply, partiko, something....
I am trying but he has got a magic chair!
I love that someone called funbobby won place 25. Friends throwback!

A fine account name 😁
Uh, I'm not sure, but I think I'm supposed to be one spot down if you are ordering by the lady column!
Are you calling niallon11 a girl? :D
Maybe I am, who knows???
He's not wrong. I'll let it go this time since its bengy, but next time i want the person executed for skipping past me in the charts.
Lol, autocorrect fail! Could have been worse I guess...
haha :D
Wooohooo in the top 10 baby, sitting pretty in 7th some major big boy game moves this week! Well done to all you legends especially @brittandjosie been loving your stuff lately
Also thanks for my prize whoop whoop great way to kick off the week!

Nice work @chekohler, a fine job to place in the top 10 for sure!
Congrats @chekohler...you are doing pretty well....and you are everywhere...great stuff...👍 keep it up
Posted using Partiko Android
Congrats!! Im glad to see familiar faces in the top 10 list!! 😀.. who knows this week you will up taking a higher spot in the ladder..
Posted using Partiko Android
We can really see who are the ones staying commited to steemit from this league. I'll give it one more shot to push for a top spot and see how high I can go otherwise im just going to revert back to my normal way of steeming because I dont want to become annoying and overbaring with my interactions
Hehehe.. i dont think i find it annoying or overbaring when someone keeps stalking me.. i dont mind at all..if you like do come around at the @welcomewagon, we are all a brady bunch family who loves to be noisy and loud all the time.. hahahaha 🤣😂.. ask mimibump!!
Well the two big boys above are really cool dudes! Haha i have been stalking them a lot too..
This comment was made from https://ulogs.org
Thank you @chekohler it was a great week but its amazing to See how much the top 3 did , I think they dont sleep and that My favorite job 😬😬
LOL me too! I love a good sleep and I'm not willing to give that up for Steemit, they clearly have some sort of commenting super powers
Again not in the top 25% unfortunately...
Is there a way to see my stats to be able to compare it to the people that do make it to the top?
Sure :)
You may need to right-click the image and open it in another tab to be able to read it.
Cheers!
Thanks, this helps to learn and improve!
Hi there! Congratulation for making to the list...
if you want to up your game, i suggest you keep tailing at the two great men @janton and @smithlabs.. hehe you will gt fueled up and ve inspired on how they do it! Hoping to see you climb up the ladder next week.. good luck!
Posted using Partiko Android
Thanks for the suggestion. The top 2 seems far too ambitious for me, but I could probably learn a lot from them.
Oh definitely stalk them!! Haha i know they would not mind at all, actually they would love it if you bother them.. you can learn a lot if you visit their profile and checkout their secrets!
Posted using Partiko Android
Hi Asher. Thanks again for doing this. It is getting more competitive and next weeks will be interesting to see if curation changes with the hard fork coming.
Vote timing will certainly need to change for authors and those seeking good rewards, it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Cheers!
Finally the rsults...as expected...my prediction about me is correct had been off to steem for 3 days continoisly...may be next week too....
Thanks @abh12345
Posted using Partiko Android
Even a day off is a risk to a top 10 placing, good luck next time!
Even with 3 day not much engagement and totally on mobile app for last 2 month...it is not bad i belive...😉

Glad to hear the 'no selfies' are paying off for you @brittandjosie, well done on your position this week!
Selfies are a thing ! You reward yourself for a good blog in the beginning but When you need to Change that it feel like cheating ! But I am in in for two weeks now and it changed the Steem work entirely. So the comment of @niallon111 is true addapting is accepting
Yayyyyyyy!! You are soaring well this week!! Congratulations! I am hapoy sitting next to you.. hahaha 😂🤣😀
Great job on the controlship of no self votes.. i on the other hand had to be careful commenting probably i pushed the wrong button unaware! Hahahahahaha darn fingers they have life on their own! I gotta control them first..
Posted using Partiko Android
A vote can be removed 😉 but its hard not to do a selfie it feel like cheating but I keep more votingpower for others
Yeah.. i tried really hard not to have any self votes..i like it also to give it to others more even if it gets my VP depleted!a i must have accidentally pressed it...
