Before we start I need to address a certain area. You will see this notice on all these side challenges. I do not want a repeat of the fiasco over at the WPL...and I am trying my best to keep this going as it seems to be really helping a lot of people on here.

"With the circumstances of late I think it is adviseable to refrain from voting on any of the challenge entries that you may recognise from any of the Low Score Side Challenges."

Okay...let's go again.

We ran a low score challenge before and it went well. The amount of grumbling over low scores was replaced with a competitiveness for that low score. A complete turn around. People enjoyed the week more and had heaps of fun. So we are doing it again...with Wind Scores.

So far the contenders are -

Anybody else want to join us? Please let me know so I can add you to the list.

Yep...okay folks here are the official rules.

1 - Nominate yourself before the end of the first 24 hours of voting and I will add your name to the list in this post.
2 - Once you are on the list you cannot leave.
3 - You are allowed to reveal your score and trash talk your rivals.
4 - Lowest score wins.
5 - Winner declares punishment via PM (must be kept secret to avoid identification of entries)..this will be two items with a choice of challenges to post in.
6 - All punishment entries to be posted to this thread after voting has finished to show the secret item and for everyone to have a good laugh at our silliness over voting practices and where it gets us.
7 - Extra punishment for over 6's.
8 - Extra punishment for favourites.
9 - Punishments must not be too difficult. eg...pair of oranges, knickers, rubber duck (or whatever) must be in your entry image.

This sounds easy...but you try and do a landscape with something odd in them....grrrr!!

I'm in.

I think I'm going to start submitting blurry, badly lit crap. Then at least the scores will be more accurate in my opinion and I'm a shoo-in to name all kinds of oddbal stuff people will have to use in their shots.

*cackle*

Speaking of which, if you were in the trains side challenge, you'll be hearing from me shortly!

FYI to everyone from the trains side challenge (I'm reposting in the other side challenges to be sure I catch everyone's attention).

I just sent out the punishment to all of the LOSERS. Only place in the world I get to say that about people who beat me in a competition. ;)

If you don't get it soon, please send me an email or a PM. My address is
jeffrey at cliffclimber dot com (that's to stop spammers; build it back into a normal format).

Have fun, and remember: don't vote on any shot you recognize as having either (or both) of the two items you're required to use.

Note: everyone who scored over 5.5 and got a favorite during the trains challenge has to include both items.

Thanks so much Levy for PM'ing everyone. Please everyone...remember...no talk of the item/s and avoid voting on recogniseable images just to be safe. Let's keep this a happy camp.

And as for losers....Levy...just you wait...somebody is going to get their sweet revenge on you.

Now in the meantime if there is anyone that wants to be on this list please let me know. Due to the circumstances I am leaving this open till the end of the first 48 hours of voting to allow for late comers.

So come on...join up....we can all be losers and have fun.
