RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues - More than 25 STEEM in prizes this week!
Booyah!! Not upvoting oneself makes a Huge difference!! Woo Hoo!!
Booyah!! Not upvoting oneself makes a Huge difference!! Woo Hoo!!
Yes you have been very close to the 10, and the 0 upvotes this week has done the trick. Well done!
Have you calculated if it more beneficial to upvote or to go for a top 10 position? I'm going to be honest and say that if you upvoted all your own posts this week, you would likely earn more than the prize money. But where's the fun in that!?
muahahah yeah thats why i never did it before. i think i just wanted to test it out for a week to see for myself. also, i do feel its beneficial bc i was able to share more with others. i made alot of new baby (noob) friends this week and im in the freewritehouse contest so i was able to upvote more there too, instead of using it on my posts. i feel i will continue to not upvote my posts for that reason. thank you asher for all you do and i hope to hear you play some of your fav songs again! you sound great!! xoxo
This is great to hear! I do feel that the 'hidden' benefits of saving your VP for others will bring more value back to minnows, than self-upvoting.
My pleasure each week, thank you for listening in!
yes, at first i was hesitant because i did not have as much to share. now that i have expanded a bit and i'm sharing what was given to me by delegations and such i figured it would be nice to do this. if i couldn't afford it and i saw myself not gaining anything then i would prob change my mind. after all many of us minnows do not have that much to spread around. thank you again and i will definitely listen in again. great stuff! plus i just delegated to PAL too ahahah i love the music being played every time i go in there.
Hey! Nice to see you up in the Top 10. Well done. It's been a long time coming, and I'm glad you found the combination of different things that worked for you. Now, it's just onward and upward, right?
hiya GB!! can you believe it?? you been cheering me on all along and thank you for that!! i won't be #1 like all you all but this is a great group and i love just hearing from you. it was touch and go with my frustrations but figuring it out was pretty cool. making different adjustments and such. thanks again!!
Well, you deserve all the credit for placing where you did last week. I didn't want to see you give up out of frustration when it was readily apparent you had the numbers and were accomplishing good things.
And as far as being No. 1, never say never. I've been knocked off the top spot twice now, so you never know what's going to happen. I keep trying to figure it all out and the landscape keeps changing. Someone will have a surge, or I won't be able to find much to comment on, and the next thing I know I'm congratulating someone else for reaching the top spot. :)
@glenalbrethsen whoa did i miss your comment ??? i thought i responded to you and how strange too! now that @lynncoyle1 got me onto fast reply it picked this up ... who'd a thunk it. :)
i greatly appreciate you taking the time to encourage me sweet man. it did make a difference and the formula is wicked ... i dropped down 5 for less characters ... that abhhh i dunno ahahahahaah
knocked off the top ahahah yeah noooo not for me ... i'd get stressed out and competitive and let all else fail. as it is i'm in this huge freewrite competition and its gettin crayy crayyyy
Booyah is right!!! Congratulations @eaglespirit :)
woo hoo!! thank you queen lynn!! i don't expect to ever reach #1 and that's okay. i do not have that kind of time. i feel i'm on too much as it is ... doh! big hugs and beer cheers! ;) thats our thing
haha I love our thing :)
me too!! just had some Gluten free last night that was pretty good 😋
Great job @eaglespirit! I'm happy to see you so high!
dave!!! thank you so muchhhh ... my self u/v was killin the formula score .. so now i see whats up. :)
nice to see you here and i might need more dust stuff ... someone called it fairy dust and i may need more hehe
that's good, more dust stuff is certainly available... In a way its awesome to see people get dust, it means they are talking to the people with small votes... And isn't that how we build a community?
that's a really good point actually and most of the time i was thinking they were the cheap voters ahahah i try to tell ppl about this but for most its just confusing and they feel .01 is good enough incentive as a gesture of "hello and i'm here." but if it is in fact true that most are from babies (i call planks/noobs) then i am all for spending the extra cash. thanks again for all you do!! ;)
yes I think most of the people give what they can, just have no idea it is wasted... and now its not ;) ... And thank you for the nice compliment :D
yes exactly, its such a crazy thing to do and now look SBD is down .. don't get me started ahahahah
you are so welcome and very deserved. :)
Well done for making it to the top ten @eaglespirit. You're not far off the top three! Keep at it. 😁
yay! thank you GP, so kind of you to come on by and say congrats ... i'm not in it to be #1 like you all but it was interesting figuring out the formula. maybe i had too much time on my hands hehe
I am most definitely not in it to be #1 @eaglespirit. I'm actually not competing at all these days. I only did that for the first two weeks after I joined and I didn't like the feeling it gave me.
If the League didn't exist I wouldn't be doing anything differently.
I enjoying engaging with people. It's the main thing that keeps me here. In fact I'm in a bit of a Steemit slump right now. This morning was really quiet because I was up late last night.
When I came back this evening I found there were more people around and that picks me up again. 😊
oh no kidding? for some reason i thought i saw your names up there and cool that it isn't your weekly goal! good for you.
what kind of feeling did it give you? i think i would feel a lot of pressure, and as you can see, (maybe not) but i am the same way. i enjoy engaging and have been since day 1. i was just upvoting myself and that took me to the lower numbers. i had not seen this league until about 1-2 months ago and i'm almost on steemit 6. i can't believe that, wow!!
i hear ya about slumps, i get that way too .. i was away this past weekend and in a contest so sort of HAD to come up with creative ways of expression and kind of a bit of pressure. oh well, thank you for commenting back and telling me your thoughts. i thought you were a queen on here ahahahaahahahaha silently feeling you are ....
yay re: pick me ups ... weekends are seriously a ghost town on steemit ...
It just made me feel miserable @eaglespirit because it turned into a "should". The thing is in my heart I don't care about winning but I have this competitive side that once engaged takes over. It's like it has a life of it's own.
It's weird writing about it now because I don't feel like that anymore and it's hard to connect with feeling that way. It's almost like some instinct gets triggered and I respond before I'm aware of it.
Anyway, I'm just glad everything has settled down now.
Keep enjoying yourself @eaglespirit. That's the main thing isn't? 💙
Yes, I can imagine, which is one of the main reasons why I stated I am not going for #1. It would make me way too competitive ... it's in the Indian blood.. Wahahahahah
Yes, it is about enjoyment and I am nearing my 6th month and its all about consistency and enjoying. One thing on my side is loving to write and I have learned so much and continuing on with that too. It's very important to me as well as learning from folks like you.
Makes it all worth it! :)
Well I'm honoured that you're learning from me. Can't imagine what but that's great to hear anyway. 😁
I must be nearing my sixth month. My my. That's flown by.
Unfortunately I don't love to write, I sort of tolerate it, but I do love to take photographs and I love to chat. 😍
there's something to learn from everyone. :)
i like your friendliness and i love your photos. knowing that you love engagement is nice to know since more of us need to band together. IKR re: 6 months!! i cant believe it either.
