OK - Not to be a scrooge but I think now might be a good time to replace our team member that hasn't gotten back to me and hasn't posted to the forum (Caleb).
I wanted to give everyone a fair shot at this - we can vote on this decision and vote on a replacement if that is the decision.
Merry Christmas!

I agree, Tate...Caleb seems to be MIA. Should we post a thread looking for a new member?

My brown is teetering around 5.6, but my occupation is doing good!

Well, gang, I hate to lose Caleb, but it looks as if we already have.

A Team is just that, and we need all of us to keep this team competitive. If there's one thing we are, it's competitive. Obviously we came to play. So let's do it.

With great regret, because Caleb is such a good and sensitive photographer, I say select a new player the best way we can, and lets be ready to GO in WPL4 on January 1.

Alice

And again, congratulations to everyone on the fine scores up on this board.

Holy COW! --- you guys have great scores so far â�¦ I'm just over 6.

I contacted Scott (SouthernGentleman) â�¦ apparently I spoke too soon - the rules of the WPL say that we can't replace a member ;{ --

SOOO â�¦ Make sure to enter all challenges that you can and if you like, send Caleb a PM.

We've been doing great lately and I'm sure everyone will continue to step up!!

12/25/2006 06:39:56 PM · #557

can we replace for the WPL 4 though? Or are we already signed up?

I can't wait to see tate's PF entry...must be awesome

Hey gang,

From my reading of the WPL rules, we announce the names of our team players when we sign up for WPL4 on January 1.

So, as I see it, we have just 5 days to select one more player for ImageNation.

So, that's what we must try hard to do between now and 1/1/07.

We can finish out this season just fine if the 6 of us who have been competing keep up the very good work we've been doing.

How do you want to go about doing this? Should we start a thread asking for participants, or does anyone know of a good photographer on DPC that is interested? Hm....too bad we don't have more time!

Oh, P.S.

Congrats on the score - We can definitely use that!!! -- right now I'm right around 6.0X â�¦
but tomorrow morning you should be seeing me finish around 7.8 unless some catastrophic even occurs (why did i say that ?).

Good morning! I'd say some combination of personal recommendations (Anybody know anybody who would like to play on our team?) and open call (Could they reply to Metatate by PM perhaps?) I don't think the new player needs to be "good" just consistent. Because ya get better when you play more!

And Lisa, congratulations on your PB and everyone else on those tremendous scores -

I'm getting some fun shots down here, too bad none of them will fit the Challenge topics open right now. I'll post a few when I get home.

(Oh, yes, my Pattern shot in in. I stuck it in before I left.)

OK - I received a PM from a potential member. I was going to keep this all open and obvious in the forum but decided otherwise. I think this person would make a great member of the team - and I'm excited. I just want to make sure we give equal opportunity so I'll give it another day and we can make a decision. Is that OK with everyone?

12/26/2006 01:59:30 PM · #565

Sounds good Tate.

I will be gone and probably won't have access to the internet until Thursday night, so you guys will probably have to make a decision without me. My family is going to visit some relatives, and I'm not sure if the hotel will have wireless internet.

So, good luck to all!

Oh, and Alice, I agree the photographer doesn't need to be "good." You're so right that just playing on the team helps. I mean, I came into this team with a PB of like 5.4 or something. And have since improved a TON.

Sadly my brown score will not count coz it's really low but you guys have great scores so I guess we gonna manage through this round.

My Occupation shot is doing good at 6.6 and I've entered AA Battery. Good luck to you all. :)

Awesome score, Tate!

Good work on the occupation scores, all - I so had an great idea for it, but being Christmas I just didn't get to it. Oh well, I entered Pattern, but I'm nervous because there're so many entries.

So it looks like we won't be moving on...I just calculated our scores vs. their's and they BARELY beat us...I mean barely...

Here's the break down:

ImageNation
Top scores:
6.149
7.7924
6.3187
5.9613

TOTAL: 26.2214

Divide by 4= 6.55535

Outcasts
Top Scores:
7.6620
6.8811
6.5707
5.205

TOTAL: 26.3188

Divide by 4= 6.5797

Differenc: (-) .0262

I checked and double checked...so unless there's any DQ's on their side, looks like it's the end of the line...well, for like two weeks is all :)

We did really awesome though! And man...this week was sooo competitive...They got 2 ribbons, we got one. And both teams got two top tens...Well, for our first time in this we really did great!

Outcasts:

ImageNation:

Wow that's close. I must say I thought you guys had it in the bag all week. I'd hate for my team to have to play you guys in a best of series.

12/27/2006 12:47:30 AM · #573

Yeah...Irene's entry was a surprise attack! man...that's so close!

12/27/2006 12:49:13 AM · #574

Um, yeah. My math skills aren't the greatest, but those numbers are the ones I come up with as well.

About all I can say here is The Outcasts did a magnificent job considering they were down to just four players.

But just wait 'till next year!
