Almost up to a 5.8 in macro. I dont think my rain shot will do much better. I had really hoped to push out at least a 6 in macro. Oh well. How is everyone else doing?

I can't say that I am surprised about my macro score...I was hoping for a little better though. (5.25)

5.57 macro. Don't have a purple yet ...

Sorry team... missed the deadline on the macro which is probably for the best. Working hard for something good for tonight. But my idea of good is a little different than most it seems lately. We'll see... :)

Well what we got in is what we have to fight off the evil 20D...do we have enough fire power?

Hope my purple entry picks up...it's my only help of contributing to the duel.

Hi Jude... how's things?
We're well into it now... what's the future look like?

09/27/2006 04:34:06 PM · #384

Not looking good from my end - 5.87 in AM and 5.65 in rain. I am pretty sure that my AM score is better than cindi's but that might not matter a whole lot. Any 6+ scores floating out there team?

09/27/2006 04:35:22 PM · #385

6+????
Now your being insulting... :) :)
Hopefully the others have something going on or it'll be a short playoff round huh?

My highest is 5.3

Pretty pathetic I know...if we could only make till next week...I feel semi good about my free study...but sometimes that means nothing at all.

Whatever happens I am proud of everyone with their participation and great scores this season...WPL3 we will show even better.

edit - My highest just went to a 5.4 WAHOOO

Hey everyone. My scores have both been creeping up. My AM is now 5.94 and my Rain is 5.82. Neither are gonna ribbon but hopefully they help the team average.

Hey everybody. My scores are 5.0 & 5.4... Sorry not more help this week. Hopefully there are enough strong scores on the team to make it through another week.

Hey guys, AM 5.9 and purple 6. I'm hoping my purple picture will stay in the 6's. I hope this helps!

Hi team. As some of you know, I had an entry in the 'Purple' challenge. I was asked for a validation and at that point noticed that I had blown it. I contacted site council, explained the error with the understanding that my image would be disqualified. After a brief waiting period, I've been informed that the entry has in fact been disqualified and rightly so, I might add.
The image entered was the final edited version I decided upon after a number of attempts at different styles etc. Unfortunately, the image I worked on for my entry was done on a file previously edited for other purposes. Both the original and the edited versions were side by side in my folder and when opening the file, I opened the wrong one and never realized I was working on an edited version. It was a careless and unintentional mistake and one I am willing to atone for.
Unfortunately this error will have a very serious impact on the team's standing this week particularilly since at the time of disqualification I was sitting at a score of roughly 7.4. After all the excitement and good will shown between all team members, I feel very saddened by the effect this will have.
Please accept my apologies. It was a very simple and honest mistake but that dosn't make me feel any better as mistakes like this, due to carelessness aren't the best ones to make. I already realize that you will all be very receptive to my apology... that's the type of good hearted people you are, and for that I am gratefull in advance. Wish there was a way I could make it up to you all.
Thanks guys and girls,
Rudy

Oh man Qart - thats a tough break there. Way to handle it straight up though. No hard feelings at all from my end. We had a great season and expect an even better one next season right along side of you once again.

I do expect that Judi will probably want to give you a spanking for this you know - and maybe Philup too.

Edit - really looking forward to seeing which entry was yours.

Thx Tim... I'm really very sorry my man. Things were looking so bright there for a while.

You don't have choice in it man. You WILL take a spanking from me....and a few teeth marks. LOL!!

Hey chill man.....them's the breaks. YOu carried us for long enough....it's about time we stood on our own two feet and gave you a rest. So don't worry...I know you will bounce back.

Guess again...your out!!!

No you guessed right.....we forgive you. Looking at most of our scores I don't think we really had a chance...but I really wish we could have just gotten past those damn 20D's. Well we have next season...third times a charm.

That brings up another point...what slot do you all want and in what division? So far the only team to have picked a slot to my knowledge is Team 30D...they chose World League and slot 10. Let me know so I can tell Scott. Oh and please formally welcome are newest member

chispa...sorry to see you go philup...well your not gone...you know.
