Last Sunday Hive account@janton 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. Hive account@glenalbrethsen is 18,490 points away from the first spot. And I'm afraid that Hive account@themanwithnoname Hive account@lynncoyle1 and Hive account@gillianpearce 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 Hive account@mhm-philippines and Hive account@steevc have written much less characters than Hive account@thedarkhorse Hive account@buckaroo Hive account@enjar and Hive account@mirrors. But in this case they didn't get their high ranking from lots of depth 2+ comments.

If you compare Hive account@steevc with Hive account@thedarkhorse, I would say Hive account@steevc 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 Hive account@mhm-philippines to Hive account@buckaroo, Hive account@mhm-philippines 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 Hive account@abh12345 announced that he will make some changes to the setup of the engagement league.

What changes do you hope for?

And what analysis did you make from the engagement league?
