Boring Mediocre Challenge 3 - Soft Focus!!!

09/26/2007 04:28:38 PM · #1

Welcome to our third 'BORING, MEDIOCRE CHALLENGE for the Soft Focus III Challenge and the S-Curve Challenge.

You have to try and end up with the score closes to the nominated score here. And the score for this week's challenge is.....(drum roll, please!!)....5.5959

Basically there are rules...

AIM - To not be dragged down over a mediocre score...but instead to have a bit of fun with it. You can't change the score...but you can change how it makes you feel.

1 - You need to nominate yourself within 24 hours of the start of this thread. You don't have to post your score in this thread...but it is encouraged.

2 - It is encouraged to trash talk....just as you would in a normal score thread.

3 - The one with the score closest to the nominated score (see score above) at the end of voting wins. The organiser will contact the winner to notify them of their win and what they are to do next.

4 - The winner determines what everyone else has to use in their next shot. This WILL include options to suit all abilities/tastes/locations. And it DOES NOT include aiming to shoot for brown or to make any particular entry/s stand out to be noticeably part of this challenge.

5 - The 'punishment' is then determined, by the organiser, whether it is suitable ...after which it is then PM'ed to all members who stood up to the challenge and all members must keep the punishment to themselves to prevent the rest of the site members in being able to identify the images in the next weeks challenges.

Once you are in, that's it. You stay in.....hehehehe!!

Our contenders are as follows -

Ok I found it I'm in. I hope this doesn't hurt too much. What is the punishment for being way less then mediocre. At this point I'm in the basement must be the subject. Oh well I'll climb my way to mediocre if it takes all week.

Bump - there must be more takers?

I'm still a newb here so I will ask for help with some of the lingo.

What does it mean when people post "Bump". Go ahead and chuckle but no question is a stupid one if you don't know the answer.

Thank you in advance.

MAX!

Okay I have made a few changes. Due to the lack of interest in this one...I am opening it up to both Exclusive Challenges. So this will now cover both the Soft Focus III Challenge and the S-Curve Challenge

So spread the word.

I have also sent a reminder to

colorcarnival to obtain the score to aim for.

Quigley...bump just means that someone is pushing the forum thread back up to the top of the list.

So come on folks...who has an average score happening here?

colorcarnival has replied.

She said the first thing that popped into her head was this number - 5.5959.

So it looks like that is what you all have to aim for.

Mind you...I could think of better things to pop into my head...lmao!!!

Of course you can. The only requirement is that you have an entry in either of the two specified challenges.
