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

If you have less than 500 Steem Power, why not join @paulag's Redfish Power-up League

If you have between 500 and 5000 Steem Power, join the @steemcommunity witnesses Minnow Power-up League.

All these posts are sponsored by @curie and/or @yabapmatt, who are also Steem witnesses. These and all witnesses can be voted for here: https://steemian.info/witnesses

In 2018, this weekly Post gained the sponsorship of 700 STEEM from @curie. During this period, the prizes issued totaled:

Bounties
SBD: 38.3300
STEEM: 100.0000

Transfers
SBD: 86.5100
STEEM: 1187.0200

This would not be possible without kind sponsorship and your support, particularly the words of encouragement I receive each week. Thank you all!

This Post will be promoted with @ocdb and have a 5 STEEM @steem-bounty issued

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!

385 accounts earned a score this week (344 last time)
The top 100 produced 731 top level posts (747 last time)
The top 100 produced 12233 comments (12838 last time)
The top 100 produced over 2.31 million characters of text in comments (2.20 last time)
The top 100 cast 34730 votes ( 35803 last time), 142 of these were self-votes (207 last time)

Congratulations to this weeks Engagement League winner @tattoodjay, who takes first place for the second week in a row! 🏆

Over 900 comments, 100k text, and more than 180 different people spoken to - busy man!

In 2nd, last years undisputed champion, @janton. Back in the prizes whether he likes it or not!

And in 3rd, the busy-looking @brittandjosie - plenty of engagement work, and 25 Posts! 😱

Excellent engagement levels also from @chireerocks, @veryspider, @bengy, @steemflow, @melinda010100, ~~@abh12345~~, @steevc, and @kaerpediem 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: @moncia90, @mariannewest, @erikah, @simplymike, @ikrahch, @cryptoandcoffee, @chekohler, and @jk6276.

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!

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.

Well done top 10!
