Welcome to the Engagement and Curation leagues, kindly sponsored by the awesome @curie!

Some adjustments to the scoring metrics this week, hopefully closer in line with what I'm aiming for. We'll see!

The league tables are reset each week and so any time is a good time to join!

On your marks, get set, curate!

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)
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)

Firstly, if you are placed in the table above then you among the top 25% of the league entrants!

344 accounts earned a score this week (354 last time)
The top 100 produced 747 top level posts (746 last time)
The top 100 produced 12838 comments (14258 last time)
The top 100 produced over 2.20 million characters of text in comments (2.60 last time)
The top 100 cast 35803 votes ( 40743 last time), 207 of these were self-votes (202 last time)

Congratulations to this weeks Engagement League winner, @tattoodjay! 🏆

A new champ for the first week of 2019, nice!

In second, @veryspider who crawls back into the top three after speaking to 196 people this past week, phew!

And in third, the consistent and very amicable @chireerocks - well done to you! This was the text in my recent template and I'm keeping it while you remain in 3rd!

Excellent engagement levels also from @janton, @steemflow, @brittandjosie, @melinda010100, @cicisaja, @scrawly, and @newageinv 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: @kaerpediem, @steevc, @chekohler, @bengy, @ikrahch, @soyrosa, @erikah, @macoolette, and @mariannewest.

Well done everyone!

The Curation League / Rewards based

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.

No rules any more regarding scripts!

If you delegated/received a delegation, or powered down in the last 14 days then you will not be on this list. Wait a week or two :)

Congratulations @umich! Low SP + script = huge result!
