Congrats @steevc for the lucky 25! Enjoy it! I did read that you are already having some share, which is just great! This one will give support the other shares :)
Here is the prove of the sponsorship!
After some slow weeks, I did manage to get back on the leaderboard, not at the top spots but rather in the middle of the peloton!
@janton again an amazing score, curious if you will be able to break 60K points. Here is a challenge for you :)
@glenalbrethsen, do you have it in you to take the crown back?
Great to see some new names at the top of the league!
Thanks @abh12345 for organizing this and thanks @curie for the sponsorship!
And thanks everybody to participate in this!
Cheers,
Peter
howdy @fullcoverbetting! thanks for the kind words and yes, I believe it wouldn't be hard to break 60K points because that week when I hit 59K I had quite a bit of downtime with my computer and I also could have pushed it alot harder. The problem that I found, at least for me because getting out posts is not easy for me, is that it was difficult to find time to post. ..at that level of engagement I could literally spend all day and evening just engaging with people. Actually that would be fine with me because it's so much fun!
But I made a committment to post everyday.
But I don't think I should be the main story here, I consider the amazing @glenalbrethsen to be the true leader not only because he's such a prolific author, which I am not, but because he is doing in 5 or 6 days close to what I'm doing in 7 days!
And not only that, the beautiful @lynncoyle1 can take one or MORE days off and still come in 3rd place without trying hard so it's my belief that she could easily wipe me out but that would be a huge sacrifice for her and she doesn't need to prove anything so I hope she stays relaxed. I'm a very slow typer, she probably types 160 words a minute, I type about 30! lol.
then there's the amazing @gillianpearce and @themanwithnoname..all these people could take the top, in my opinion but the sacrifice in time probably isn't worth it to them, I hope!
So bottom line: Glen does indeed have MORE than what it takes to take back the lead but he is just limited on time.
thank you sir for your fine comment!
It's kind of funny for me to be considered limited on time, but I appreciate the thought. I was the one who was waving off prize money because I had more time than everyone else. That's no longer the case, but I still have more than most, and so I'm going to do whatever I can with the time I have and I'm good with that.
I choose to take Sundays off, too, so if anything, I'm limiting myself. I don't have to, so it's a choice, and I'm okay with that, too. It ends up being my time away from Steemit. We'll just keep doing what we have with our time and let the chips fall where they may, how's that? :)
uh...I don't know, that's sounds a little too logical to me. I'll have to think about it. I do take at least half a day off on Sunday for church, sometimes more but not a full day because I hit it hard in the afternoon or evening to try and catch up and throw some kind of generic post together!
Well, okay. So it's not that much more time than I would spend, then, so there isn't a 24 hour gap.
A little too logical. Okay, so we need to factor in some emotions and maybe some silliness. :)
well, or we could just ask @themanwithnoname for his opinion!
I'm good with that. @themanwithnoname can come up with logic and humor, so maybe we'd end up with some balance. :)
Thank you for that @janton! When push comes to shove, you're a real gentleman. I guess you save the razzing with me in those comments that are so far down in a thread or on the next page, that no sees it :)
so..you're saying that my "public" reputation for being a "gentleman redneck" is safe? because I show up late and no one sees my silly comments anyway? whew! lol
Yep, that's it exactly! And you're secret is safe with me.
Until I need something from you lol
good, you got it!
You're right @janton! π
I don't hear that phrase often so feel free to tell me again!
lol, God bless you gillianpearce!
You could be right @janton :)
of course I'm right! lol.
You're right @janton! π
lol! π
All of you have something special and does bring a lot of good things to the blockchain and the league!
I am only the sponsor of a little prize, showing that everybody can win a reward!
Keep it going all!
Cheers,
Peter
thank you for the encouragement sir @fullcoverbetting!
Hey, @fullcoverbetting. Do I have what it takes to overtake janton?
I think all things are possible. Never say never. That said, he's burying me with comments and replies by factors of at least three. When I first started in the league, I had to increase what I was doing by a factor of five just to get here. I don't know if I can handle even a doubling of C/CR. We'll see, though. Need to widen my commenting field. There's no two ways about it. I'm apparently wasting way too much time trying to find conversations to be a part of. I could just stalk janton. Somehow, though, that seems rather unsporting. :)
Oh, and kudos for the Lucky Number 25 sponsorship again and middle of the pack is always better than the bottom.
Thanks for the kudos!
Let me help you a little bit with this reply so that you can get a level deeper :)
If anybody has a chance to beat him fair an square than it only could be you! And yes it is hard to find topics where you can write a decent and genuine comment on!
Both of you have different strategies, we will have to wait until a combination of the two of you arrives at this league!
I did tried it before my holiday to get into the top 3, I did gave everything I could but sometimes doing your best just isn't good enough!
If I do read these comments here on Monday, I already know how late it is and that all chances are gone again!
@crypto-econom1st you did want some questions about stats, well here is one! What % of the engagement of a person is done in the comment place of this post?
Cheers,
Peter
Crypto-e has already asked that question, I think. Someone who was database savvy did. I don't remember it being looked up, though. I said at the time that I didn't think it ended up being more than 10-15% of mine, which if true, would be much less for others due to sheer number of comments. Unless they managed to spend their entire time here. I have no numbers to back that up, though.
I appreciate the help. However, this is also helping you, too. :)
I don't think in any of our cases we've tried to do anything other than what comes naturally. If I could produce between 50-100% more comments, and keep a decent CL average, I could get back up there. It's just getting to the 80-100 comments a day that's the hard part. He's figured out how to do even more than that, though, so I just got to produce more.
It's true. Sometimes our best isn't good enough. Sometimes time is our enemy. That's just the way it is, and we do what we can with the time we have. I think you're doing better than most as it is.
As usual, thank you for adding this little extra spice to the Engagement League Peter. I think Steve is a new winner of the SBI, which is good to see.
A place in the peloton is alright isn't it? Can you bridge the gap to the leaders I wonder? :)
I am glad I am able and allowed to do this! Maybe my most impressive footprint on the blockchain :)
For sure not this week. Will be a strange one with some unpleasant things to do!
But I do feel happy in the pack :)
Cheers,
Peter
Thanks for that. I love the way this community helps each other
I do consider it an honor to be allowed to sponsor this great league! We all quickly forgot how dark it was in the early days and that all small things add up together!
Enjoy it!
