I would love to be mediocre! I'm trying, but my 4.8 doesn't seem to be moving up very much! :)

D'oh! Is it too late for me to get in? I'm just under 5!

Unfortunately, nominations close 24 hours after the start of voting...so keep a look out for future challenges.

I see most of our nominees scores are sitting around the proposed score...this will make for a very interesting finish. Who will cross that line first?

I agree with the comments made regarding my image. My photo had possibilities, but I over-sharpened. This is how I learn!

So tell me...who thinks they have it in the bag...? Let's see your scores please.
 09/16/2007 08:42:12 PM · #86
Overshot at 5.6111 (just gone down a bit). Commenters complain about something not being white enough, when other things that are "supposed" to be white definitely don't try to be....

It's an indication that my poor little photo is unappreciated *sniff*. LOL actually I thought it was funny to get the callout from a member of this challenge!

This is my score 5.7091 so... I was mediocre in aiming to a mediocre score. I'll never win any kind of contest ;)
 09/17/2007 05:00:32 AM · #92
OMG!! I am so sorry...I will do the calculation now.
 09/17/2007 05:26:48 AM · #93
Our contenders and their scores are as follows -

hipychik.....4.8063....(Final Placing - 125)
colorcarnival.....5.5506....(Final Placing - 65)....FIRST PLACE
levyj413.....5.6768....(Final Placing - 52)
srdanz.....5.0471....(Final Placing - 110)
Pug-H.....5.6037....(Final Placing - 59)....SECOND PLACE
riversong.....5.0683....(Final Placing - 109)
Puckzzz.....6.8686....(Final Placing - 4)
Valdo.....5.7091....(Final Placing - 49)
EstimatedEyes.....5.6687....(Final Placing - 53)....THIRD PLACE

The score to aim for this week was......5.4321

So who is going to reign this week?

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

colorcarnival.....5.5506 (0.1185 over the goal score)

Your entry and your award, already linked to the results page.


with a close second

Pug-H.....5.6037 (0.1716 over the goal score)



and following in third place

EstimatedEyes.....5.6687 (0.2366 over the goal score)



Interestingly the average score on the entries was.....5.5554...now that is one heck of an average!!!
The total votes on the entries was.....1480 (average per entry - 164.4)
The total views on the entries was.....2891 (average per entry - 321.22)
The total favourites on the entries was.....7
The total comments on the entries was.....126 (average per entry - 14)

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.....

Puckzzz.....6.8686....(Final Placing - 4th)

Your entry and your award, already linked to the results page.


So the Queen 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 anonyminity. 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 finally, here are the entries.





Thankyou all and I apologize in the delay in getting this info up. I hope you all had fun. I will be running another one next week..so keep a look out.

Cheers

Okay...the punishment used throughout the Candy challenge was for the Free Study punishment. Therefore...we cannot reveal the punishment as that is still in progress with Opening and Closing.

Okay....the queen is just checking the final punishment PM before I send it to you all. Once I have sent it out, please notify me by PM so I can cross your name off the list below.

I will repeat the following just to make sure you all follow the rules.


"Remember...this information must be kept to your self as I do not want people discussing other members entries before or during voting. Some members may not be entering the 'Wealth' or 'Silhouette' challenge...so therefore any discussions of the items may trigger some negative reactions towards entries with these items in the other challenges.

Please PM me once you have received my PM. I will then mark your name off the list.

Once everyones punishment entries have completed voting, I will display them in the 'Boring, Mediocre' thread for everyone to have a good laugh with."

Puckzzz....please ensure you read the extra text as your punishment is a little different to the others.

I will put a score through your name below once I have received each of your PM's.

- hipychik
- colorcarnival EXEMPT
- levyj413
- srdanz
- Pug-H
- riversong
- Puckzzz
