Last Sunday won the league for the 6th time in a row.
6 consecutive wins!
But I don't think that is the most remarkable thing. Look at his points 59,027. This could be the all time record (is it?). And the most remarkable thing is the big gap with the rest of the field. is 18,490 points away from the first spot. And I'm afraid that
and
are really light years away!
Taking a closer look at the data I see something that looks a bit strange at first sight. The total number of characters from number 2 Glen is pretty close to that from our undefeatable winner. Howled there is a 18,490 gap in points then?
That's because of the very large number of replies to replies. The so called depth 2+ comments. So if you want to get a high ranking in Ashers engagement league you don't necessarily need to type the most characters.
Have a look at the snap shot below. Both and
have written much less characters than
and
. But in this case they didn't get their high ranking from lots of depth 2+ comments.
If you compare with
, I would say
most likely needed much less characters because he has much more (unique) upvotes, a few more posts and minds 1 penalty for self upvoting.
If you compare to
,
most likely wins because all 30 witnesses are chosen. Also the very high number of posts could have helped, but is more difficult to determine. And even if a high number of posts helps, so you have time to write 27 posts in 1 week?
For coming Sunday announced that he will make some changes to the setup of the engagement league.
