RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues - Sponsored by @carlgnash and @paulag!
Thanks @abh12345. This was my second week in the league, and I feel like I accomplished a few things, but still have plenty to work on.
I have to say that I'm happy to go from 26th place last week to 3rd, but man, what a climb!
Thanks to all who took the week off, because otherwise, it wasn't going to happen for me. :) The best I might have done based on the previous week's points was 7th, which I guess is good, too, but still way off the top of the heap.
I'm not sure what I can do to keep up, but we'll see. Obviously, the main purpose of all of this isn't the placing, but the engagement and creating an ever widening circle that encourages even more engagement—but I imagine most of us are here to see how we stack up in the competition, too.
So, trying to strike the balance, and to see how it goes this week.
My pleasure @glenalbrethsen, sorry for the delayed and short replies (to everyone!), I'm thankful you have done a good job 'post camping' here this week :D
A bit of friendly competition doesn't hurt eh, but I don't expect everyone to remain as engaged every week - it's plenty of hard work to write 50000+ characters, let alone 100000+.
Thanks again for taking part and replying to so many here :)
No worries on timing. I didn't get to this until this morning, so the party was well underway by then.
I totally agree about keeping up with the characters. I'm still feeling it from last week, and so who knows what I'll be like by the time Saturday rolls around.
I think I benefit more from replying to others than they do, so that's been fun.
On a totally different note. I have a question. Have you posted somewhere the math you use for the engagement league? I see it for the curation league. It's obvious that there's at least some division involved since there's decimals instead of just whole numbers.
If you haven't, or don't really want to divulge it out of not wanting to encourage gamesmanship, no worries. I wouldn't want this to turn into basically everything else on Steemit. I'm just trying to set goals and then try to achieve them.
Also, what time (and zone) do you pull your results at? I doubt I'm still up when you do (based on when this post has been showing up each week), but that might help me know what I can expect to see in numbers and what might not show up until the following week.
It's been my pleasure to participate. Thank you.
