The Gamification Gurus Power 100 ranked individual social influence from 2012 to 2019. It is no longer active.

Any questions on this list or gamification in general - please contact Toby Beresford

Definitely evidence of a GWC bounce for some players this month!

Well done to this week's top three Andrzej Marczewski who also swooped the Gamification contributor of the year vote at GWC, and to Gustavo Tondello, and Sylvester Arnab.

This month we saw the biggest climbs from Patrick Bartl (up 79 places to 9th), Michiel Van Eunen (up 76 places to 29th), and Ruth S. Contreras (up 67 places to 31st).

We also welcome new gurus Vasilis Gkogkidis (17th) and Bo Armstrong (50th). to the Gamification Gurus Power 100 board.

On a technical note, we've now ironed out the blog post counting issues - if you haven't already, you need to verify your blog with Rise (log in to Rise and edit your profile) - then it will now count your posts and add them into your Guru Score.

Happy Novembering.
