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)
Comments - replies to replies - depth > 2 (C R)
Number of people spoken to (PS)
Comments - length in characters (C L)
Witness votes (W) (for those proxying witness votes, your total is always 30)
Upvotes to others (V)
Upvotes to different authors (U V)
Self-votes - a (getting smaller each week) 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 active league entrants!

Congratulations to this weeks Engagement League winner, we have a new name at the top! - @ecoinstant! 🏆

@ecoinstant has been 'threatening' to take the title away from @janton and has put in a storming amount of engagement this week, speaking to 365 different people in the process - well done sir!

@janton is close behind in 2nd and almost made it 9 weeks at the top - I suspect he will be there or thereabouts again next week :)

3rd place goes to the ever-present @glenalbrethsen - sterling work again!

Excellent engagement levels also from @lynncoyle1, @cicisaja, @gillianpearce, @veryspider, @smithlabs, @eveningart, and @bengy 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: @hananali, @melinda010100, @themanwithnoname, @enjar, @macoolette, @simplymike, @bashadow, @denmarkguy, and @mariannewest.

Well done everyone!

The Curation League / Rewards based

Please find the rules in a previous post.

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.

The curating mannequin is back at the top - Well done @steemitri!
