I am bit surprised of voters sense of humor and perfunctory.

Like I forecasted - avg votes are very low - 3,42 and 8 comments - and no one of comments did not understand what is a meaning of shot. (nothing wrong of avg votes, but comments...)

I can give you a piece of advice - please read a title very searching (do not miss any letter), there can be a clue for your questions.

4.9 I reckon but would have scored higher if people spent a few seconds to appreciaet my book title and not think "yer he couldnt come up with ought !"

You'll see what I mean when voting is over but I wish the voters would realise what I mean by my shot - its clear as anything really but most overlooking the point... I say this due to alot of my comments state "No one will have heard of the book title!" <-- NO But it is one and is on alot of web sites for sale... Ho hum ...

still in the 5's at the minute so cant complain too much.

disaster... it went from 4.9 to 4.6 suddenly after 100 votes... so i must have got some very low scores! :((

How are you all doing according to your predictions?

I'm nearly where I predicted! LOL I'm at 5.14 and 2 comments! Not far to go till I'm at 5.000

EDIT: Now, I'm at 5.08!! Nearly there! HAHAHA

Prediction: LOW
My fault- not the voters.

Now that I hit post, I will probably be jinxed. Doh !


I knew it ! The perdiction Jinx ! Way lower the predicted. Actually, its just my picture, but its much easier to blame it on something else : )

I've gone the opposite way. My highest score yet, and looking to stay that way, and I was predicting lower than average.

I really don't seem the have the hang of working out what people like.

I misspelled my title! This was very wrong. I think that at least a 6 are deserved by my picture. Until now I had 200 votes, 4.99 of average and only 8 comments. From these 8, 7 is about my wrong spelling.
Every note less than 5 that I vote wins my comments. But many people had give me low scores without any comment. I accept any kind of commet! I predict a little elevation to 5.3 or 5.5 until deadline.
How many of you votes on every picture?

I vote for every picture. However so far I had 163 votes on mine so seeing that you got 200, probably not everybody does, or maybe not everybody who started to vote is done yet.

I saw that in weekends the votes are pumped! Many people can´t vote at your jobs.

I always vote on everything, although I may space it out during the week. I've voted on all for the current challenges, but often have about 50% left to vote on at the start of the weekend.

I vote on all the pictures in the ones I enter and comment on the challenges I don't. Maybe that's backwards! I divide up the voting because, after a while, I find myself not looking at the pictures long enough.

My score is hovering around 4.7 (pretty close) but with about twice as many comments as usual -- nearly 10% of voters. Thanks, though you don't know who you are yet.
 11/14/2003 11:06:49 AM · #66
I was voting on every entry in every challenge and trying to comment on every one. I am still voting on everything but the commenting has gone down a lot. I have been holding to 20% pretty well, but these huge entry fields make it hard. I have gotten more comments of late, though, and that is what I signed up for, next I will hope for a higher "score".

Well... This is my very first post to this site.

Right now with 158 votes, I'm running 5.9847 with 7 comments...

I really really really want to break 6...
 11/14/2003 11:26:10 AM · #68
Mine is around 6.2, with the heaviest variance between votes ever. I predict an inverted bell curve.

How do you know about the variance in votes? Do you have access to some additional information apart from number of votes and average vote? I guess you could estimate the variance very roughly if you watched the score continuously...

I'm wondering how to break 7. I was at about 6.9 at one point but now it's falling. Well, I probably got stung by the 'border-haters', and I'm not too disappointed by that (not that I used an elaborate border anyway). In the end the comments are more valuable than anything - though the 'Critique Club' hasn't come up with anything yet - they're probably snowed under.
