RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues πŸ† - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! 🎁

in #engagement β€’ 6 years ago

Wow... that is simply amazing... All 3 of the top 3 did some fantastic work! Congrats to @janton for a record 7 in a row... Talk about stringing together some entries, you are the Jack Nicholas of the League of Excellence! And If Janton is the Nicholas, then @glenalbrethsen is the Arnold Palmer! Always in contention and the two of them running away from the field! And Lynn isn't doing too bad herself, especially for taking a day off for a Sunday siesta!

I waiting in anticipation for this week's results and you guys didn't disappoint!

Thanks again for an awesome week Asher and for having these games so that we can all focus on connecting just a little bit more! I'm appreciative of the no-vote prize and happy that I have something to donate to Friends of Gondor as a result :) And maybe one day soon I can get back in the top 10, who knows ;)

I see so many other familiar names its too many to list, but I would like to say that Glen was wondering how we stand with some more seasoned people joining the League and I would say that we are all doing pretty damn good :D

Great job to all! And let's all have a terrific week together!

Sort: Β 

Cheers Dave!

Yes the new entrants added from the list I produced the other day are present, perhaps after this settling in week the scores will be higher.

Glen and Janton, I can see this one getting personal, in the nicest possible way of course!

Have yourself a good week too.

Okay, so if I'm reading what you're saying correctly, it's getting nice and personal between janton and I, right? :)

Actually, that's the kind of rewording my wife likes to do. :)

Janton's got it figured out. I need to figure it out much better. Thanks for giving us all the opportunity for us to figure it out! :)

A pleasure, I've got my popcorn at the ready!


@abh12345 I'm glad they are in it and I think it will help put some more competition in here. Plus I think it will also give some of the regulars a good yardstick by which they can be measured! I hope your week is going well too... So far mine is a little tough as the market has been a bit rough! I'm not complaining though, as even things going down have silver linings ;)

Yes for sure, new blood to spice things up.

Blood on the streets... shame I'm lacking fiat because it seems the next few months are buying time.


@abh12345 I bought some and then spent it on Steem Monsters... I have to wait another week for my deposit to clear to get in again... I'm sure it will go up now, since I have no dry powder left! (its always how that works) ;)

howdy @davemccoy! thanks so much for your kind words and encouragement. I couldn't ask to be in with a better group of people and did you see Glens CL number? I think that's the all-time record and he did it in 5 or 6 days! lol.

Yes, as far as I can tell, I did reclaim the overall CL record, for now. And I did have six days, with some interruptions on those days, but not as bad as I was concerned it would be. Whatever you managed to do with your yard in addition to what you did here is amazing, that's all I know.

I think that record is pretty safe at least that's the way it looks now, could change in a week but not from me!

Well, we'll see. I'm not happy with it yet, so I do plan to try to push it up some more. I think I may have more time this week than last, though my wife is already telling me what I'm going to be doing tomorrow. :)

push it up some more? geez how high can it go?

High as anyone of us can make it. If managed a thousand comments a week and somehow kept up the CL average, we'd be talking between 600,000 to 800,000 CL in a week. That would be pretty hard to match.

However, I'm not going to make 1000 comments in a week, so I'd like to at least shoot for 300,000 CL to start, and then go from there. But do it legitimately, of course. The idea isn't CL for CL sake.

It will mean, though, that I do have to engage more, and hopefully end doing so, wind up with more CR, and whatever else Asher will be throwing at us for the list reveal on Sunday. :)

sir Glen..these numbers are flat out crazy! haha! I mean 600,00 to 800,000 CL in a week? and the record now is what..I forget, 250,000?
well if anyone can do it you can because you love to write and you have the almost supernatural ability to write long. lol.

yes, that's another thing is your writing isn't just words for writing's sake, it's well thought out opinions and such. so at least for you it wouldn't be CL just for CL sake. well me either.


@janton you're welcome and yes I did... @glenalbrethsen is amazing, and the biggest one I've ever seen! And you are setting a few yourself too! I love watching the both of you and how you compliment each other (dual meaning, but both ways are true) :)

thank you sir, coming from you that means a great deal!


@janton you are welcome! I hope you had a good week... Mine got distracted a little in the last few days, but trying to catch up now. Good luck on the result in the league coming very soon, I will be looking forward to it for sure :)

howdy sir davemccoy! haha. well sir, it's funny because Glen and I talk openly about how he can beat me and he's a great analyst and knows what he has to do and also keeps track of everything so he knows where he stands in comparison to last week and of course he is in better position so he will be closer to me or will have caught me.

It's only a matter of time because he is truly the king of commenting with that CL number he put up last week and I think he beat it this week, the guy is fantastic. He's a natural born writer and it just flows out and he enjoys it. If I had to write that much it would be difficult and it sure wouldn't be fun anymore!

I don't keep track of anything but I think I did about the same as last week so he should be closer or perhaps can take it and I couldn't lose to a finer man if that happens. so either way I stay joyful! lol.
God bless you sir!

I honestly don't think either of you can ever lose... You are both massive winners to me (and everyone else)... So while I don't know the results, I do think you are both amazing and I'm so glad you are both here and helping to make Steemit a much better place to be! One day I hope that you get massively rewarded, you are someone that is definitely engaging :)

yes sir, I mean no sir..no one actually loses here, it's just fun and games and the League is increasing engagement activity even when prices are down and people are more complacent so that's a win for everyone on the platform.
thank you for your kind words!

Hey @davemccoy. I'm not a golf historian, so I'll take your word for the Nicholas/Palmer dynamic we apparently have going here. :)

We did actually stack up pretty well against the "more seasoned people" as you put it, which I am both happy and surprised at, but probably shouldn't be surprised. Being members of the league where the list is ran every week helps, to whatever degree it use it as such. If nothing else, to focus are attention on engagement and others.

The question on my mind is, are you going to climb back into the Top 5 or what? :)

When he stops dreaming about being a pro league baseballer I think he'll be in with a shout :D

I'm not asking for more competition. I have to give him a hard time, though. It's kind of the way our relationship works. He calls me King Glen or Arnold Palmer and I give him a bad time for lagging in the league. :)

So, no shouting. Peace and quiet. :)

He's probably gained 100 new recruits to the league in his time, but yes, come on Dave pull your finger out! :D

@glenalbrethsen yes both were very good and had their legions of fans that thought one was better than the other. I was a Palmer fan (mainly bc my parents liked him) but it seemed like Nicholas won more than Palmer. They were clearly the 2 most dominant and both really good guys (at least from what we were shown).

And I hope one day. Right now I'm meandering a bit and haven't really focused on what I really want to do... Part of that is seeing how the price moves. I have 2 different things in my head depending on if steem breaks below $1 or goes back above $3... Right here its a bit in limbo land!

It's been treading water quite a bit, either like a lion circling, getting ready to pounce, or like a bunch of buzzards, take your pick. It's like the calm before the storm, but you don't know which way it's going to go.

Well, good luck with whatever you end up doing. You've got enough going that you don't need me giving you a hard time. :)

First @glenalbrethsen you can give me a hard time anytime... And sometimes when I don't know what to do (clearly in my mind), then I choose to "piddle" and keep learning in different areas. I usually find my way, but I like to be clear in my mind to have a lot of energy to do it right.

I'm going to sleep now, but I finally got caught up for the week! I did something right :D

Thanks Dave! I've been taking more than one day off, but man, you should see my fingers fly when I get on here :)

Be careful with the cacti!

haha nothing wrong with a little poke now and again 😎

ALWAYS reply back!

@lynncoyle1 I can imagine... I think you are half my comments.... If i just get around to replying back to you sooner, you would probably be the champ since you

It would be rude not to Dave, especially to you πŸ˜…


@lynncoyle1 I know the feeling.. that's why with no chance of winning or even really placing, I still find it something I need to do on a saturday night before I can call it a week. I will show bad in the league this week, but still making sure I pay my respect to YOU 😎

aww thank you Dave❀️


@lynncoyle1 ... no thank you Lynne! :)
