Hello everyone,

For a second week in a row, I had a delightful time preparing a table containing with the scores for Round 2. A few curious stats are also included.

Round 2 Scores

Here is the ranking for Round 2 and the total score each one of you have collected.

Some of the guys didn't manage to submit stories for the second Round. They are still eligible to submit a story for Round 3. If you discover any kind of an error in this table, get back to me in the comments or on Discord.

Round 2 Stats

Here are few curious stats I managed to compile as an addition. They are not related with the score, but give a nice overview on what the individual post's number of votes and current payout.

Submissions by number of votes

Hive account@morodiene is leading here and by the time I was counting there were 312 upvotes for all the 14 entries submitted.

Submissions by current payout

Hive account@jadegreene is dominating the table and with current payout of 142.88 is responsible for more than the half of the payout generated by all participants.

Total amount of current payout

102.73

Advice

I'll finish this post with some advice on how to improve your score and how to increase your payout. Some of you may have put a lot of efforts and the story still didn't get the reward it deserves (we know it happens here).

How to improve your score for Round 2?

Use the queue. In a nutshell, it's s an editing service offered for free on Hive account@thewritersblock. Read more on how to join The Writer's Block at the end of the post.

How to increase your current payout?

Submit your post for Hive account@sndbox-alpha's service.

It's applicable only for participants with current payout less than $3. The post should be not older than 6.5 days. A lot of the submissions in Round 2 are still younger than 6.5, so you could take an advantage.

Hive account@sndbox-alpha is currently accepting any Art & Music posts and all you need to do is submit your posts as a comment under their last post.
