The Engagement League
This league is not based around financial rewards and relates to engagement.
Everyone currently on my master list has a chance here - including those powering down or dealing in delegations over the past couple of weeks.
I've used some metrics relating to:
- Posts (P)
- Comments - number of (C)
- Number of people spoken to (PS)
- Comments - replies to replies - depth > 2 (C R)
- Comments - length in characters (C L)
- Witness votes (W) (for those proxying witness votes, your total is always 30)
- Up-votes to others (V)
- Up-votes to different authors (U V)
- Self-votes - a small minus score for this one, sorry! (S V)
Note: Copy/Paste comments will be excluded!
Engagement League Table
Firstly, if you are placed in the table above then you among the top 15% of the league entrants!

Congratulations to this weeks Engagement League winner:
@tattoodjay! π
Back at the top after a couple of weeks with other priorities, @tattoodjay retakes first place with landslide victory.
@veryspider takes 2nd place with her best placing in a while, just 4 points ahead of the lovely @dswigle in 3rd. Well done the top 3!
Excellent engagement levels also from @joelsegovia, @chireerocks, @brittandjosie, @simplymike, @wakeupkitty, @raj808, and @tarazkp who will all be receiving some STEEM this week.
Those without a self-vote and placed in the top ranks will also receive a little STEEM. These people are: @chekohler, @amico, @riverflows, @johannpiber, @glenalbrethsen, @bozz, and @redheadpei.
Well done everyone!
The Curation League / Rewards based
NOTE: If you have started a power-down or been involved in delegations in/out of your account, you will not appear on this list for 15 days following the activities above. Thanks!

A very short comment @abh12345, to fulfill my commitment. I am on vacation for two weeks with my beloved. To see our βeasternβ (those in the eastern U.S.) children β¦
An SBI share to our
βHot Pinkβwinner this week - @abh12345! Nice to see you get the prize again. Due to your always βsteady as she goesβ work! πAnd congratulations to all of this weekβs winners, which is everyone! As well as those who got some prizes β¦ π
I appreciate you honoring @wolfhart. He was a real "salt of the earth" asset to the Steem blockchain and will be greatly missed, especially in the @pifc community, where he was such a tireless contributor of wisdom and encouragement.
"Onward and upward" into a new week!
Thanks Rob!
Very happy to have landing on number 11 again.
The small tribute to @wolfhart is the least I could do, it was always a pleasure to engage with him.
Onward and upward we go :)
I am touched by the β dedicate to @wolfhart β I love that thank you @abh12345
Congrats @tattoodjay glad to have back !!!
@veryspider 2nd place and the lovely @dswigle in 3rd. Well done the top 3! Love it !
Excellent engagement levels from @joelsegovia, ( donβt think we met before changing that right now ) and my friends @chireerocks, @simplymike, @wakeupkitty, @raj808, and @tarazkp
Thanks for the great numbers.
Also we also couldnβt do without the rest of the list
Congrats and see you next week ,

I think we all are touched.
Thanks for taking the time to write this.

I like to think we are. Online friendships do exist thatβs the true thing I learned and I love it. For me this is a
New dimension
They exist for sure and last too.
You share what you have in common, can do so without annoying or disturbing someone.
I see internet as the way to be yourself, no matter what, people like you or not. If the contact is real it stays. If the click is not their you lost nothing.
Here you can speak to anyone, take part of a conversation. Imagine you would do that in normal life, outside on the street.

So true but I am not a social media animal and never thought it was possible
Thank you so much and enjoy your time ahead. Stay blessed.

The least I could do after what you told me last week regarding how much he enjoyed the leagues.
Thanks Britt, have a good week!
You too π
Asher, what a lovely gesture to remember the late @wolfhart.

A moment of peace for @wolfhart.
Thanks @abh12345 for doing this.
Good job @tattodjay for making it on top! Congrats to all who keeps this platform as engaging as can be.
Thank you @leeart π
I also am touched you dedicated this post to @wolfhart, he will be missed and my thoughts go out to his family.
Thanks for putting this together its great to see the wonderful commitment and engagement levels here on Steemit
one SBI share sent to my friend @johannpiber for coming in at lucky number 16,
Congrats to everyone who made the list
Thanks @tattoodjay
Well done on regaining top spot, and thanks again for sponsoring a lucky number.
My Pleasure to give a little back with the Support and thanks for the steem :)
Thank you so much, my friend, I knew, why I didn't comment so much this week - to be number 16 π
Seriously, I haven't thought about rankings, I'm still in the top 20, and I don't regret to be in this League, because I do think, that it's a good thing for our community here π
Posted using Partiko Android
Yes commenting and engaging is what makes this place special, and we all learn and enjoy our time on here like our frequent long comment trails discussing this and that
So very true, I only hate these copy/paste comments, but I reply to them the same way ... this is why most of my comments don't count, otherwise I would be number 1 π
I like our long comment trails too, although I often cannot remember the beginnings π
Posted using Partiko Android
I have heard the current number 1 is hard to beat :) I generally ignore the copy and past comments but I am lucky I do not get too many of them, ohh yes our comment trails can often wander off on a tangent but that makes them fun
Yes, I have heard that too, and it will be much harder in a few days, when he does not need to go to work everyday anymore.
Then he will have 24 hours a day to post and comment ... but I have the hope, that he will find a new home near his grandkids soon, and that they will need him so often and so much to play, or for a walk or whatever, that we other Engagers have a tiny little chance to beat him :))) lol
I do not get that much of these comments either, but when I reply the same way they comment, I get sometimes nicer comments on my next posts :)
Rumour has it's a few months and not days, but also then he won't be spending so much time commuting on a train which is when he is most active weekend are his quieter days and in a few months it will be one long weekend :)
Hey @abh12345 I wonder if there could be an extra category for something like % resource credits used as another way to view relative engagement. There are some huge accounts here, I ran out of credits last week!
Hi
Good to hear members coming up with ideas but I think resource credits is a tough one to measure as they are constantly moving. Also, the biggest drain on RCs is account token claims which can be made with 0 'real' engagement.
Quite impressive that you ran out of RCs with 120 SP - I suspect you'll have enough very soon to not run dry via posting/commentating/voting alone.
@abh12345, @esteem is also boosting many Content Creators by curating their Content and it's really appreciable aspect. Keep up brother and stay blessed.
Posted using Partiko Android
I really like the way eSteem manually curates each one of the posts they vote on. I have used eSteem since I first started here and appreciate all the tools and votes they have given me to help me build my account!
Absolutely true. And the weight of that vote is very handy for the newbies and others, they can grow effectively here with consistency. Have a great time ahead.

Now that I'm on the laptop, the SBI has been sent to @amico! Congrats on lucky number 13! :)
Hey, thank you very much for SBI, @phoenixwren! π
I was also feeling more confortable using a laptop for sending SBI sponsorship, but today I have do it from my smartphone going on @steembasicincome blog with @steempeak and selecting "Send STEEM/SBD" from the drop down menu: it's easy and pretty safe for avoiding typing mistakes!
A huge hug from @amico π€
Posted using Partiko Android
Oh, I've never used SteemPeak on the phone, either, just Partiko. GTK there's the option, though!
Thank you @phoenixwren!
Aaargh below the page break! The humanity...
Anyway, great job everyone! I'm first in with comment this week! I'm off to register a share for @abitcoinskeptic!
It was a sad week to hear of the passing of @wolfhart.
Yes it was, hopefully a brighter week this time.
Page-break for you, pink-zone for me :D
Hmmmmmm... I'll get above the break next week... I hope...and maybe get my pink spot back!
Congratulations to the usual suspects :)
And a big thank you to you Asher and @esteemapp <33
Thank you!
I want to congratulate everyone on making it here to the Engagement League! We are all winners, out there engaging and interacting.
@Tattoodjay is a clear overachiever and @VerySpider is Awesomeness! It is such an honor to even be standing close to those two. All kidding aside, always so well done!
It was a beautiful thought, the honoring of @wolfhart. I don't even have words for such amazing people that pass through our fingers here. It was, indeed a sad week for all that knew him. May he rest in peace.
Thank you for the steem and thank you for hosting and nudging people to get out more and engage in some true interaction. I would like to sponsor the number 9 next week.
Thank you again! You are the best!

Congratulations to everyone, looks like the weeklies are holding pretty steady.
I want to thank Asher for these leagues. While I have only made the top 100 in the curation league a few times, I have made it enough to see how HF21 will effect that, and we all have a record of what we have been able to accomplish vie engagement, so if HF21 does go through we will be able to see what effects it will have on a group of past dedicated engagers.
I am also glad that I have been a part of the other tracker the minnow power up league, that will also give me another tool to see what effects HF21 will have on speed of growth.
Aug 1st will be the beginning of my 3rd year on steemit. It will be interesting to see if I get a steemitboard 3rd birthday cake or not, (most likely I will, still be here). I hope summer is going good for those of you in the summer zones, it's not been so bad here in Alaska, a bit smokey from the fires but not excessively so yet. I hope the winter folks are having fun building snowmen and women and that it is not to cold where you are.
Thank you :)
I have a feeling that the numbers from the top 20 won't change much at all following the fork. These people just like to comment :)
I'm sure you'll get a cake, but just in case you don't...π
Great idea to dedicate this one to @wolfhart.
Congrats to everyone!
I just need to ask: @brittandjosie: how do you manage to get 22 posts out in a week Γ‘nd score this high when it comes to engagement?
I really need to learn to write shorter posts, or maybe to type faster, lol
Thank you :)
I can barely get 1 post a day out and so would like to know this secret too - maybe Taraz can also help here!
I'm glad I can get up 4 a week.
Most posts take me a couple of hours to write and style before they can be published. Right now I'm working on one, but it will at least take me another day to get it ready, lol
Time v Money, make sure you don't lose track of that :)
I think a couple of hours is generally plenty of time to spend on a Post - up to you of course.
If I would think like that, I wouldn't have spent 5 or 6 hours replying to comments last night, lol.
I could probably get every post I make done in a couple of hours, but I often find it hard to keep focus. It happens quite a lot that while I'm writing, a comment comes in and I get completely distracted. Or I receive a mail about an interesting product I can promote, and waste half a day trying to get my new affiliate website up. Once I get back to the post I was writing, I'm out of the 'flow' and I have a hard time to pick up where I left.
I have dozens of unfinished posts like that, lol.
Story of my life, haha. I just came back upstairs from the garden, pretty unsatisfied, because I wanted to set up a trellis for one of the plants. But then I noticed the Jerusalem Artichokes looked really bad. Their soil appeared to be too acidic, so I had to fix that fist. While I was at it, I checked the soil of everything else too - and so I spent more than an hour doing a lot of things, but my trellis hasn't been built yet. This is going on for like an entire week.
Same for my posts. The tutorial I'm writing now was supposed to be an entry for a round of the @ifc contest - weeks ago. But somehow, something else always came up. I'm about half way, but I was so far behind replying, I need to take care of that first... there's always something, lol
My issue is usually figuring out what to write about, as I don't exactly have the most thrilling life! Lol
Posted using Partiko Android
Same here :0)
I'm still pretty much housebound and I'm limited in the things I can do. So most of my days I'm spending lying down on my bed working on a website I'm building, engaging on SteemIt or playing Steemmonsters. Every hour and half or so, I can spend half an hour in the garden. But that's about it, except for the occasional trip to the nearby gardening center.
So finding things to write about isn't always easy.
I like writing tutorials, but they take me hours, sometimes days. I really need to take a look at how @brittandjosie does it :0)
I like tutorials too, but yeah - they require a certain amount of setup, and presuming you have the necessary ingredients, and that my kitchen isn't a frightening mess ...lol.

My pleasure @amico, well done on your placing and thank you for sponsoring a lucky number :)
This is where I first met Wolf, so it seems appropriate to me that you dedicate this week's league to @wolfhart.
Congrats to everyone and I'll be sending 2 sbi for 2nd place to @veryspider! Yay!
Thanks to @esteemapp for sponsoring the prizes!
Glad to hear that the EL has connected people :)
2 sbi, very kind, and well done again @veryspider!
I'm not doing so well in the leagues so the extra special price is a great surprize :D Thanks @amico and Asher! <3
My pleasure and joy, darling! π€ A huge hug!

@wolfhart will really be missed, im sure he'd have some snappy comeback for this dedication. Nice to be back amoung the top ranks again, going to be honest, its really been PAL and SPT thats got me back in the engagement seat, its made content a little easier to find and the additional rewards are a fun incentive too.
Does anyone know if you can set PAL and SPT to auto claim though?
Also thanks for my spot prize! With all these extra earnings and this bull run lurking, could we be in for some crazy times?
I think more would say the same - palnet has certainly lifted moral around here.
I don't think you can autoclaim PAL yet.
A bull run is coming? I hope so!
OK, perhaps a stupid question, but what's SPT? I know about PAL, but not that one. :)
Posted using Partiko Android
SPT is the token you can earn for posting on Splintertalk.io so if you into steem monsters/splinterlands then itβs worth hanging out there! Thereβs also another one I found today called actnearn
Posted using Partiko iOS
Ohhh I hadn't heard of Splintertalk either, cool! Thanks for the clarity.
Posted using Partiko Android
I think @wolfhart would be pretty chuffed to have something dedicated to him - though he would take the piss out of it :D
I think the same :)
Well done for sneaking into the 10 again.
@tarazkp @abh12345 I KNOW HE WOULD HAVE LOVED IT and I like to think he sees all we do from
up above
Hi Asher. Nice touch dedicating to wolfhart. He did love the leagues that you run. I slipped this week, but a good slip as I landed on lucky 25. Thanks Peter or @fullcoverbetting for the sbi it is really appreciated.
Thanks. A slip but landed nicely in SBI land :)
Other people's slips are my goals. ;)

Down to 30 π all good my engagement is still potent lol! Over 30k characters on my vivo phone is πͺ that's a ton of trolling JK I play nice the one lil tiff I got into got straightened out over a common cannabis bond. Plant Power!
Eh though I didn't see @paulag redfish league this week? I'm on the precipice of graduation.

Yeah no Redfish or Minnow power up leagues this week, Paula is away on business.
Keep stacking those ENGAGE :)
Unacceptable Paula π€‘
Yea im on the iPad now, but same game with my pointer finger...
I just had a flashback tho to my first QWERTY Kyocera slide phone circa 2006 then I was all
thumbs and pimpin the honeydips on sms. My how times have changed ! I still used burner phones up until not long ago for my βworkβ tho on the flip phone you had to push 2-3 x the button action but there was that annoying T9 lol. I wonder if aliens are laughing at us for not tapping into telepathy ? Like wireless haha we on that no network hyper light deviceless communication kid ! Alien π½ Well this comment just turned into my next post and thatβs the power of engagement or redundancy Iβll let my followers be the judge of that π€€

Congratulations @dswigle, you rock! My results are proportional with the time I had this week π but I'm happy anyway, I did ok.
Thanks Asher for running the league, it is really important for us. Now you can send me some rain π
I can send you all the rain you need, thanks for taking part! :)
My pleasure as always π
Hey, @abh12345.
I'm waiting on a call to see when I should leave for work, so I'll try to squeeze this in as quickly as I can.
Thank you, first of all, Asher, for the ongoing curation and engagement lists, and a place to congregate every week. I don't think the value of either can be overstated.
Congratulations to everyone in the Top 25. Well done.
Onward and upward!
Thanks Glen
I hope work is keeping you as busy as you want to be, and nothing more. I'm still on the lookout here in my new(old) town.
Number 17 for you this week, not a bad show at all for a working man.
Have a good one,
Asher
I'm afraid it's going to be more than I want busy wise, but more importantly, I think it will be enough as far as finances go. The latter is yet to be determined since I won't see a full month's paycheck until the beginning of August (the company pays on the 1st of each month, so I'll see a partial month for July).
I wish you all the best. I'm in this job as quickly as I did because I kind of know the guy, but not very well. Still, I think it was enough to tip the scales in my favor. My guess is you're asking around friends and family if they know anything. It seems like anymore, you need to know somebody. Or somebody who knows somebody. :)
Congrats @cryptoandcoffee
