The score to aim for this week was......5.5648

So who is going to reign this week?

.....drum roll.....

NikonJeb.....5.5432 (0.0071 below the goal score)

with a close second....

goodman.....5.5432 (0.0216 over the goal score)

and then in third....

Neuferland.....5.596 (0.0314 over the goal score)

Interestingly the average score on the entries was.....5.4130
The total votes on the entries was.....3222 (average per entry - 161.1)
The total views on the entries was.....4455 (average per entry - 222.75)
The total favourites on the entries was.....3

So even though you all class your score as average according to the site statistics...your statistics here show you are all winners. You are all the best.

Oh and btw...we did have one other placing....THE COURT JESTER!!!!

This award goes to the person finishing furtherest from the goal score. It doesn't matter if the score is higher or lower...just the furtherest.

And the winner is.....

.....drum roll.....

Node.....4.6164....(Final Placing - 254)

So the King of Mediocre now needs to think what the punishment will be. Think of some object or whatever that the other members must include with their next entry. The entry MUST be submitted in a challenge within the next week.

You must also decide on a second object for the Court Jester to include in their entry.

You must send your decision to me for approval. Please do not forward the punishment onto the members or to anyone else, so as to maintain anonymity. I will forward it onto the members once I approve your choice.

Also...members you are to keep the punishment to yourselves also to prevent identification of entries during voting.

And here are all the entries for your perusal.

Apologies to Nikon Jeb for the stuff up. I am very sorry.

Okay......I'm confused......the Sylvan Pass shot wasn't a registered contender, was it? And neither was the 126th place 5.5610. So wasn't I the closest with a -0.0071 differential? Don't *I* have the most BORING MEDIOCRE shot????????

I hate to be a prig, but isn't 0.0216 less of a differential than 0.0314?

Doesn't that make

Neuferland second place?

Can't...I have a very badly damaged photo of the very first Council Meeting in the now demolished building. I have to restore it and get it uploaded to the printeres by tomorrow morning....the Opening is this Saturday...it has to be printed and framed to be presented. I can't find time to sleep...not yet.
