Over the past week, multiple people have added sponsorship HIVE to the pool and many 'old' names have returned. This week should be an interesting one :)
If you wish to be added or removed from my master list, please let me know.
The Hive 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 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 voting via proxy, your total is always 30)
- Up-votes to others (V)
- Up-votes to different authors (U V)
- Self-votes - No minus score but no bonus HIVE(S V)
Note: Copy/Paste comments will be excluded!

Wow! What an impressive change a week makes @abh12345!
That's quite an increase in activity... even if we've dumped most of the price run-up, the pump certainly brought a lot of people out and back into active status; super cool to see.
Congratulations to @galenkp and the other winners! I see that I won a "mystery prize" for 22nd from @amico, so thank you for that!
Asher, speaking of "errors," I think you have me listed as "senmarkguy" in the winners listing... that might cause some confusion, since that's not actually an account. A typo, I suspect...
Great job everyone! Let's keep the momentum going!
Oh, thanks for mentioning me correcting your user-name: 1 SBI sponsored ASAP to @denmarkguy... enjoy it! 😜
Thanks for the SBI @amico, it has long been a favorite initiative, both on Steem, and now here.
Oh!! When did you change your name???

That does look like an error from me - I'm surprised I don't get pulled up more often :)
Yes, I big jump in activity this past week, long may it continue!
I definitely hope it keeps going!
One of my "projects" for this week is to write a sort of "promo post" for the Leagues, and see if we can add a bit of fresh blood.
Oh , thats a great idea!! How about getting several people to do it? @denmarkguy @abh12445? The more people hear about, the more they may ne curious to check ot out.
Or do you think it would be more effective with a blast from @denmarkguy?
Congratulations to everyone for a good week of engagement! I can't even find myself anymore, I've sunk pretty low down compared to previous months...
Anyway, congrats to @steevc there is a small token prize to do as you wish with!
Cheers. That will get powered up.
121st!
Thanks for sponsoring the league and well done Steve for landing on 'jammy 33' :D
Haha... that is WAAAY below the page break!
Ohhhhh it’s a men’s top 3 again hahaha congrats to @galenkp @tattoodjay and @johannpiber and my cooking friend @chekohler you all know I am a fan. And you guys rule and I take my hat of to your accomplishment
But I am calling my gals @dswigle @melinda010100 WE CAN BEAT THEM RIGHT?
@abh12345 ok back top 10 thanx for waking me up again, maybe if I talk as much here as in Discord the numbers will be different again next week
Nice to have you back and the league to wake up to Sunday
Stay safe
Britt
Hahaha @brittandjosie! ❤️ You are a great cheerleader! There are lots of marvelous gals on this list... all of us could do just a little bit more here!
I thought you girls would be way in front of me. I was pretty sure that JJ's numbers would be as high as if he never had been away though 😁
So, dear @brittandjosie, @dswigle and @melinda010100 and all other girls, of course, I want to see your names on top of us next week.
Take care, stay safe and have a great week 🙂
!invest_vote
!tip
@johannpiber and @tattoodjay Just No! 😉 That competition is killer and quickly leads to burnout for me, so I will just continue on as I always do and sit back and watch you guys. 😘
Oh my dear @melinda010100, can you remember who asked us to rejoin? 😉
So, sitting back and watching is not allowed - raise your numbers and I hope to see you girls on top of the list next Sunday 🙂👍
!invest_vote
Hahaha! It's not my fault! I only knew you would love to be here helping out our friend Asher! But I'll do my best @johannpiber.
Yes, help if we can and haveing fun for sure 🙂
And I expect only the best of you, dear @melinda010100 😉
I dont expect to stay inthe top three, this week the Wednesday walk was very active which moved me up higher than I expected, but its all about having fun and doing what works for us individually ;)
😘 Same. I'm just happy all of our numbers are getting added in and making the EL totals look respectable again! 💪
I hadnt been following it to be honest but glad to help the numbers climb ;)
Well I'm happy that you agreed to come back to the EL!
#MarketFriday was so busy, I still haven't finished it. Yikes.
I dont know how you keep up I struggle and I am not working anymore
When you work, I think you tend to be more organized because you have to. When I was not working for a few months, I became leisure with my time.
I could use a couple of extra hours per day though.

LOL as I said to you when we discussed joining again , I wasn't expecting to be in the top 10, but Wednesday walk was a lot more active this week than in previous weeks I guess, and yes I do agree with you @brittandjosie, @dswigle and @melinda010100 and all other girls, this week the men took the top 3, lets see you put us into the top 10 and out of the top 3 :)
You have done very well and I haven't been surprised to see you on top, but to see my name was a shock.
I don't know any girl that does not love to talk ... well, I know one girl who says she does not talk much, but she tells wonderful stories ;)
Britt @brittandjosie: my wife can cook and talk at the same time ... and I'm still alive ;)
Haha! Well, I cannot walk and chew gum and work. So, I will just have to sit pretty and hope for the best. I'm too busy to be competitive right now, but, I will try my best. Oh, 4th! I feel almost lucky to get that high!
You can't talk (walk?) and chew gum and work? Then forget the work and soon you will say "Oh, 4th! What have I done wrong?" 😉
I just said, the most important thing is to have fun 😀
Yes!! I heard you! :) I do have fun, no matter what number I am! Oh, 4th??? Seriously? I was second last week! I am glad we all joined back up, even if I did get a week on you. I was lonely without you guys~ :)
What did I do wrong???? It is most likely going to be busy this week, see if I can come in at least in the top 100. Have a great week, Johann @johannpiber

Oh yes, I believe you that you didn't think to be that high on the list, but I don't think next Sunday will be a surprise for anybody 😉
well lets wait and see, time will tell, I am aiming for 6 or 7 that would suit me ;)
You know why I’m on top of you this week? Because while you’re busy cocking I am commenting
I am gonna be on top next week , and do cooking on the side just rallied my gals Denise and Melinda so watch out

LOl I was shocked to be inthe top three, I didn't think I would even make the top 10 to be honest I am not as active as normal, but I think my Wednesday Walk activity picked up this week which brought my numbers up
Thanks Britt :)
Discord has a lot of engagement I am sure, but I can only count what appears on the Hive chain.
Have a nice day!
Wow! Congrats Ash and the participants for growing the numbers.
Almost feels like the old days Lol.
I think Galen has a muti hidden somewhere:)
I agree!! He must!
Hahaha, I don't think he knows what "muti" is Lady Denise.
I wonder if there are any witchdoctors in Australia Lol.
LOL I'm sure there is a transplant or three
😀 😀 😀
It's been a great week, long may it continue!
Congratulations on your placing :)
Thank you. Unfortunately I don't run any challenges or anything else, so it all only organic replies to the comments on my posts and some new people that I engage with.
A big congratulations to all the engagement rockstars! well done.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together Asher, and for the 15HP from @justineh, @azircon and @glenalbrethsen
Cheers Galen and well done - it was a tough one to call this week!
And yes, thanks to the sponsors, very kind :D
Yeah, the sponsors are generous and it is greatly appreciated. I'm pretty sure someone else will win next week.
Yep, just keep singing that song and then finishing top :P
I'm serious this week...I'll be off culling a few nights this week so will have way less time. Hmm, maybe if I cut my posts down by 1000 words each I might be able to save time? 😂
Aim for 501 words :)
Hey man. Would love to know about sponsoring some prizes for your engagement league. Any way to touch base?
I need to stop being lazy and get more involved :)
Nice, thanks :)
Here or discord is fine! Easiest think is to sponsor a number each week with whatever you want - some go HP, or HIVE. Or you can put a bit into the pool for the top 20 to split. I keep a track of what I've been sent and will mention those who are going this route.
Choice is yours, and you can change/stop at any time.
Alright, working out at 10 am, who's idea was this! Cheers!
Perfect. That’s awesome.
i’ll get in touch with you on Discord later today. It’s 3 am here and I need to sleep lol
Can’t stay away from Hive lol
Enjoy your rest and come back refreshed :D
@galenkp please I need to know how you do it. This is sorcery.
Congratulations everyone. 39 hive in curation reward for me. Surely not a bad week. Cheers guys.
No sorcery really...I reply to everyone who comments to me and upon the posts I read and curate for @curangel and on those in my friends feed. I have an ethos of engagement as I understand that it will help build my account. I don't engage to win the League, I win the League because I engage.
Someone different will win next week, I'm sure of it.
Hahaha definitely, i know, I'm always seeing you at the head of the league, I just feel arrrhh I can't take it anymore I have to talk 🤣🤣
You could always try sorcery though, I've heard it can be effective. Lol.
You know what? Set a goal to make 20 replies each day as a minimum. That'll probably get you well into the top 10. Best to make those replies to new users too, and people you don't engage with already...It'll help them and help build your account also. That's what engagement is all about. And fun too of course.
I use to be top 3 back in the days on the steem league. It's been hectic these days for me. Plus I have to work extra hours to upkeep myself and family. so it's why I hardly have much time
You have to prioritise what's important though, so you're doing the right thing.
A very good week for the EL, cheers!
Very happy with top 10 considering, you know, part timer and all that 😉
Well done to @chekoholer, he tried really hard this week after last week's embarrassment so glad to see him bounce back. Was worried after seeing this actual footage of him in the comments section last week
Well done to all the really engaged people above me but the rest... Come on Hive, you can do better than that!
Also, is that my highest score? I don't think I've been in the 5k region?
Lol I refuse to lose, I’d sooner lay you into the ground then allow you to outcomment me for every fibre in my being!
The bar has been raised this week - loads more comments and text and higher scores all round.
Drinking wine and watching men in orange shorts, hmmm, where's the other hand? :o
Well, it's good to be back, but I didn't expect that and I have already transferred my prize money to the lucky number 12 @tarazkp.
My congratulations go to the winners and of course to everyone who participates in this league and engages here on the Hive.
Thank you so much for the effort you put into the League, Asher, and thank you @justineh, @azircon and @glenalbrethsen for sponsoring the League.

I suspected you and Jay would be in the 3 with Galen, just wasn't sure of the order.
Thanks for the sponsorship, and welcome back :D
You're much welcome as always, Asher 🙂
As said, it's good to be back, but this time I'll take it easy and try to deliver more quality than quantity - at least I hope I can ;)
Have a good day 🙂
Cheers, you too :D
👍🙂
Cheers mate :)
You're most welcome @tarazkp 🙂
Congratulations @Galenkp @Tattoodjay, and @JohannPiber!!!! I knew you could do it! :) Shocking, isn't it? One week back and boom! It's a hostile takeover. Hehehehe
Kidding. It's not hostile if you are invited. It's a great first show and I love we all proclaimed to not working it anymore. Ahem. Now we just need to get @janson back!! Even for one or two weeks, that would be fun.
Thanks, Asher @abh12345 for bringing back the fun. You know it is hard to not have fun with them in the room. As for @BrittandJosie - yes!! We need to squash them. It is busy at work right now, but, I will do my best! :)
Lucky #9 would be luck @NickyHavey! So you will be sent 5 Steem from me. Gotta get rid of it somehow! No, kidding. That is what I am sending you! :)
And Asher, as always, thank you. For taking the time and trouble - in good times and bad. Almost like a marriage, without the benefits.
Le sigh.
Until next week....

Thanks again Denise :)
Some great numbers this week, partly thanks to the return of you know who.
I hope we can continue this improvement, or at least hold it.
Have a lovely week!
Wait... JJ or Johann? :)
Checks STEEM wallet
Haha! Thanks very much @dswigle 😜 Didn't realise I stumbled on a lucky number so thanks for sponsoring the league in this way too!
Haha!! I finally did it! Go check again!
Hahahaha you actually did! Thanks! I'll put it to good use and make sure I take it out with the next Steem powerdown 😃
Oh, if you don't take it out, Sun will just put it in the reward pool.
HIS.
Wait, what? How long have I got to take it out?! 😂
Until he's tired of looking at you
To get janton back you'll have to talk to Mrs. J., dear Denise 😉
They are building up a new business and time seems to be a very rare thing right now, but he promised that he would come over and say hello from time to time 🙂
I think we just wanted to show you girls that it works. Now it's on you to do what you say: Squash us ;) But all in all we should have fun and enjoy our time.
Have a great Sunday and a not so busy week ahead 🙂
I forgot @jilohannpiber!! That was Britt that is going to squash you!! I still work every day!! ;)
I'll never catch you.
We will see how you do, Denise, and yes, Britt is very good and I wouldn't bet against you - just told JJ that I try to bet only if my chances to win are high ;) lol
Oh, come now Johann @johannpiber You can trust me to lose!!! :)
I don't bet on that ;) lol
Hahah!! I'm crushed! LOL
Congrats to @galenkp for taking the number one spot I thought I would be way down the list as I am not as active as I used to be and shocked to be in spot number two, glad you took the first spot, or my telling people I wouldn't be in the top spot would have looked silly lOL
Congrats to my friend @johannpiber for third spot,
and also congrats to @madushanka for coming in at sp[to number 16 one Hive sent to you :)
Thanks mate, I appreciate the message. Someone else will take it out next week for sure.
Most welcome, you have great numbers, keep it up and keep the top spot :)
We'll see...Maybe someone will blow me away huh?
With engagement you never know I never expected to be in the top three lOL
Well the guys had the top 3 this week maybe next week will be the ladies
Thank you @tattoodjay. I got and powered up.
Most welcome
Thank you JJ 🙂
If we had bet I would have won the bet knowing you would be in the top 3 😉
LOl thats why I don't bet LOL
I prefer to bet when I'm sure that I'll win ;)
LOL thats a good way to be
But sometimes that does not work though ;)
Welcome back @tattoodjay!
I did suspect the top 3 would involved you, Galen, and Johann but wasn't sure of the order.
Thanks for sponsoring lucky number 16, and have a lovely Sunday, cheers :D
Nice to be back, and wil give some back for next week :)
Thank you very much :D
👍🙂👍
Love seeing that big boost in EL numbers this week, Asher! Thanks everyone for stepping in and causing some of the totals to double ❤️ WooooHoooo!
I'm sending the Hive I won to @sidwrites for being in the top half of the list. 💪
Congrats everyone!
Yes a huge boost in numbers this past week - can we keep it up I wonder?
Thanks for cheer-leading and sponsoring the EL!
Great weekly numbers, congratulations to everyone. What a very nice jump in all the numbers for the week that was great to see. I am still moving along and holding steady at 26 two weeks in a row. last time that happened was back in the weeks of July 21st and July 28th of 2019, and that was a place 24.
The comment count almost doubled over the previous week, that is just great, I do love seeing the level of engagement rising, the interactions on post can be quite fun to read. Once again, congrats to everyone, I think we are building a fine social media place to share thoughts,ideas and life.
A massive improvement, and I hope that it's not just due to recent price activity.
Thanks for dropping by, today is the monthly stats post :)
I hope it was not just because of the price jump, but even if so it was a nice to see thing happen, shows the potential of what could be.
Hi everyone. Congratulations to all the winners from last week. Wow, I flew off the chart literally. And not in a good way. I knew I'd sink pretty low, but my God. But since moving to Hive, I can't seem to get in a groove with engagement this past month.
I'll definitely try to up my ante in May. Got my strategy in place. So look for me this month.
Have a great Sunday everyone as best you can.
Good luck for the coming weeks, have a good one :D
I want to be a sponsor
And I am not in the second list
But not delegating or powering down you stated:
If you have started a power-down or have been involved in HP delegations in/out of your account, you will not appear on this list for 15 days following the activities above.
Am I missing something
Which number would you like to sponsor?
You are 255th in the second list, quite far from the top 100!
I'm not on the curation list either @brittandjosie but I think it is because we hand out our votes to lots of minnows instead of to the posts that make lots of Hive. Supporting small accounts should be rewarded, too.
With my biggest decision I previously got, I came top 16th level first time.
Thanks for sponsoring for 16th number @ @tattoodjay
Nice work on a top 20 place :D
Finally I'M BACKKK!
Damn that took a few months. There's something about this Hive... Sweet as honey. I feel like buzzing around again.
Yes you are, and in the prizes too :D
Things have certainly picked up of late, I hope they continue.
I love prizes! :D Thank you and all that are contributing <3 I definitely hope this wave of energy continues to spread and grow on Hive :-)
I think there is every chance, feels good :)
I can read your charts now without a magnifying glass, Did you change the format?
Nope, same format. Are you viewing from hive.blog? They've always been ok there for me.
I to find the chart very hard to read, its so small, when I open it up it goes larger but I cant scroll up and down to see it all, not sure if it is me
on peakd it is a pain but looks better on hive.blog for me..
https://hive.blog/hive-174578/@abh12345/the-hive-engagement-league-q9qyjl
Any good?
@abh12345 It looks fine on Esteem, also.
Ohh yeah that makes a huge difference I don't need to squint, will remember rot look at it on Hive blog not peaked ;)
An HBD for the mighty @silversaver888!!
Cheers Boomy!
No Carlsberg review last night? :O
Lol. Sadly not, I have been painting this weekend. I'm knackered!!
Sounds like you deserve a beer!
I am about to crank one open actually! Hurrah for not working Mondays,!!! :0)
Excellent :D
My furlough is rolling on, not been given an indication of when they will want me to return. Another month por favor!
Another month would be a fine thing!! I have all my bits crossed for ya!! Crack one open yourself!! :0)
Out of the top ten, but I guess that's a good thing. Great increase in a week! plus 54 is quite the uptrend!
Massive uptrend :D I don't expect the same next time and will be happy with the same number taking part.
Then again, if HIVE goes on a bender again, who knows :)
By the way, I forgot to thank you, Asher @abh12345 for the Hive!! Appreciate it! Gotta love the engagement league! All that fun and money too!
!tip
Thank you very much Denise! :D
Oh, it is always a guilty pleasure when I can play with you guys here!
I will like to join this. How can I join this program?
You are now on the master list, good luck and welcome :D
Thank you.
Congratulations
Cheers :D
Congrats to the winners of this week.
Thank you @belemo :D
Well done on your 10th posi @riverflows! I will power up some HP for you in a moment :)
Thank you for sponsoring the EL :D

Earlier I was part of this engagement league. Please make me the part of HIVE engagement league. Thanks in advance.
Yes you are on the list, just need to pick up the numbers to appear in the top 100 :)
Sure. Thanks
It's time to push, but somehow ashamed, instead of the top 10 went down to 46th place.

Nice good to see I've gone up a little, I actually thought I'd been less active recently, at least it feels that way.
Is he the target to beat? :D
Haha, maybe ;D Also would you be able to put rank number as a column in the pictures to make it easier to track users individual rankings maybe even a rank change from last week also? I think that would make a nice addition.
Nice growth there! Congrats on everyone in the league for their efforts and @galenkp for rocking the league!
A huge improvement, happy with it :D
Dear Asher @abh12345, great work. Congratulations to everyone, Happy Weekend. Cheers.

Hey, @abh12345.
I come to leave a comment on this week's engagement post wondering what I might do for an encore. :)
I think I'm feeling more subdued at the moment than I was last week. That's probably for the best.
While it was my intention to vent about the league's status, that it would be nice for some wider recognition, it wasn't my intention for people to open up their wallets. I guess, in the end, those decisions were made by them, but I wasn't angling for any of that.
I suppose I should just leave it at that and move on.
To the airdrop proposals, perhaps?
Nah. I probably should go and leave comments over there, right? :)
re: the league
It's nice to see things heat up a little bit. It's nice to see some familiar names showing back up on the list. It's nice to see quite a few folks upping their games. It's kind of odd to me that it coincides with a rise in HIVE rates, but maybe I'm misreading this whole thing, anyway.
Regardless, whatever the reason, it's good to see more engagers and more engagement.
Congratulations, everyone.
Thanks, Asher, for doing this. It might take on a life of its own at times, but know that you are the driving force behind it, and without you, I'm not sure who picks up the mantle. No pressure. Just credit where credit is due. :)
Onward and upward.
Thanks for the kind message Glen :)
And last weeks 'discussion', if you can call it that, has worked out rather well for the EL and its participants. Thank you for your major part in that - I know it wasn't your intention to upset anyone or boost the post by 1500+ HIVE - I'll take it though :)
As far as the airdrop proposals, I'm going to side with 'no thanks' and then try to push those who were lacking knowledge and thought they were doing the right thing in voting for the top 20. Perhaps they should have been more diligent, but I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to a few.
Have a good week, onward and upwards looking more in fashion again.
I haven't quite figured out the practical reason for any of the current airdrop proposals, except maybe for the one that I'm assuming sets the bar for any subsequent individual airdrop proposals. Even so, if the bar gets set too high, then there's really no reason to make an individual proposal.
But the group ones, for all intents and purposes, at least based on the comments and where folks seem to be currently falling, seem to be a royal waste of time. I get the intention—they are the ones who voted straight out or by proxy for sock puppet witnesses, and how do you substantively discern where they're hearts lie one from another—but when each one of those voters are somewhere along the entire spectrum, it makes voting for them as a group extremely difficult, if not impossible.
And just based on what I've read from the comments, particularly those who have their own accounts frozen on STEEM, who happen to be witnesses and major HP holders, I don't know. It just seems like its all going through the motions for the sake of going through the motions.
Better to just vote up the bar, and then announce individuals to get their proposals ready.
As it was, it all seems a tad premature. Weren't we just going to get the ones who were known errors taken care of in HF24, and then move on to the next group in a future fork? I thought I read something to that effect.
And as far as that goes, I don't know that I've even seen what HF24, aside from airdropping, will even entail. I'm following hive.io and I see most of the witness/dev posts there are through either reblogs or trending, so if there's been such an overview, somehow it wasn't deemed worth trending or someone reblogging it.
No, I don't want anyone to stop doing what they're doing just so they can bring ME up to speed (and oh, a few tens of thousands of regular users, give or take). Maybe we need a HIVE community public relations officer, who regularly blasts out to the community? Maybe that person needs to have their own DAO proposal?
Hi Glen
With regards to the airdrops..
A proposal by crimsonclad to push for 4 accounts 'none the wiser' to get some HIVE is currently ahead of the No drops proposal, and so this is good news for those concerned.
I do feel that they were unknowledgeable and made a mistake, but are lucky also.
Hey, @abh12345.
Yeah. I've voted for it. This makes more sense, having someone vouch for others on a smaller scale. I've never ran across the other two, but I'm glad to see someone picking up farm-mom's and thebigsweed's causes. I've had a real hard time dealing with this whole litmus test thing for witness voting while apparently we've had no problem allowing the farmers and other scammers, or those we know will just cash out their HIVE, get their HIVE, but oh no, people voted for the enemy—forget them!
I don't know how the so-called masses are going to deal with any of this.
I would like number 50 for sponsoring
50 it is, thank you!
Near to entry, i try this week!!;
So this is the same list like before...or a user need to make themselves enroll again?
Same list, I see you!
Wowzers! Awesome to see the numbers picking up like this! Although that means I can't keep slacking off like I've been, both here and on my WordPress blog... I wonder if there's some kind of "naughty blogger" award... although I suspect if there is, it wouldn't apply to me... but I digress... 👼 😂
At any rate, I've dropped the tip off on @blazing's most recent post...
Have an wonderful week everybody, and speaking of tips... !tip
You don't deserve the naughty bloggers award, ever!
Thank you very much for sponsoring the EL Traci :D
