This is really awesome!
Firstly because I personally like a bit of change. I see this as a new challenge.
Secondly it shakes things up. I see some new names in the top of the ranking.
And thirdly I think this helps in making new friends and talking to Steemonians outside our current circles.
Last but not least I can analyze the numbers again. I didn't have to much time to do so this week.
However I believe this does create the possibility to beat @janton so once in a while. One basically needs a very popular account to do so. Cause if such a person writes a few posts they will receive so many reactions which score them points for PS that they might win that week. To bad that I never have posts with 250+ comments....
What is precisely the definition of Number of people spoken to?
I send them a comment? They send me a comment? Or both?
I notice 1 improvement, you could write PS as header for each part of the table.
Next I have a question. Did you consider to post the table as Steemit table instead of snapshot? That way you would tag everyone. That might help so once in a while to attract all Steemians that won't read this post every week.
Thanks for this comment, very complete π
I guess I missed 'PS' for each section of the table, it will be there next time. Both tables could be markup with tags, do you think people would be ok with that? 200 (max) names is a lot of shoutouts!
As far as PS scoring (comments you make to individual accouhts), some have suggested there is too much weight on this metric, but for the reasons you state:
I'm reasonably happy with the metric score. Some members placed lower than expected, but the scoring is the same for all, and so it's just a case of adapting.
I'm tempted, as @enjar suggested last week, to alter the weight of one metroc each week, or add a secret metric, to further give a chance to accounts specialising in a particular scoring area, but will likely not do that until the dust has settled.
I think that's everything covered!
Ohw one more thing. I was thinking, let's assume that Bernie Sanders participates in the engagement league. Do you think he would end up pretty high some weeks?
As he sometimes creates like 5 so called funny posts where 200+ comments are below the posts. So he could score a real high PS score and grab the prize π
He's very welcome to join!
I'm not sure, i think comment count / length / short replies to many will leave his score quite short.
I do think he's quite funny sometimes. So perhaps I should invite Bernie myself π¬
I would use the tagging just once in a while. You could also use it in combination with a remark/question to ask if people like it or not and let you know in the comments.
I really like Enjars idea to change the calculation. Although I would suggest to do this one in a few weeks.
I'm still not sure how I score 1 PS point?
Do I need to talk to someone? Or someone to me? Or both?
Or will you just keep that a secret?
