I'm extremely disappointed with my score so far. I was really proud of my entry as an original concept and I think I executed it well. At present my stats look like this...

The one comment I got was very positive and helpful, I also noticed someone gave me a 1 which irritated me a little. The nature of such things, I guess. I've been quite disappointed with the lack of originality in the entries I've seen so far on triangle. There are quite a few really cool ones though. Good luck to all that entered!

I can take the score but the comments --- someone actually used the word "pity" in their comment to me.
I got your pity right here baby! LOL

for most of us you wait til the end of the challenge and you can see a graph of how many of each vote you recieve...for those anal, obsessive compulsive members they sit and hit the update button all day with a calculator in in the other hand and a flow chart pasted in their screen...

Hi Amber, welcome to DPC. Some of the fancy-pants statisticians here have a spreadsheet set up and they actually enter thier change score & number of voters to estimate what the scores were that the new voters gave them. Isn't that positively compulsive!?!?

When and if you become a member you get an "update" button near your challenge submission area on the right. It allows you to update anytime instead of on the hour. It is simple math from their on. Say you had 10 votes and your average score was 5.5 then you have 11 votes and with an average of 5.545555 You take 10 x 5.5 for 55 then add what you think the score is "6" in this case. 55 + 6 / 11(entries) now and you get 5.545555.

Now I have totally confused you welcome to the site.

Kinda happy cause I was expecting a 3.5 with this entry. Weird...some shots I've been expecting to do lower as they were sub-par IMHO are doing better than expected (far from great but doing average instead of atrocious).

The other oddity, I see that I am voting about a point lower these days. I wonder if there is a progression on DPC where in the first two years your vote scoring average lowers. *ponder*

Well the night was not all that bad for me. Still holding 6. It does appear to be low scoring in this challenge so far. How the rest of ya'll doing today? Strikeslip are you nearing the magic 10 yet? Something about mathematics tells me that if you get even 1 vote less than a ten then an average of 10 is not possible ... is that right? ;)

Thanks Dust Devil:))

I can't believe anyone looked at my image let alone voted, and my avg score is quickly sliding downwards as I speak:)

But, you know, it's strangely addictive, this scoring lark! It's almost masochistic:)) Like staking your mortgage on a three-legged horse at the Grand National...ooops too much time at the PC:))

Oh, no worries, all those 1 votes I'm getting are sure to get bumped up to 10's.

It's dropped a lot unfortunately. I expected it to do better.. but the one comment was a really nice one, so that kind of makes up for it.

Not to mess with strikeslip...but was your "10" image one where you shaved your pubic area into a triangle? I would have so given that a 10

I will be watching your reports to us on your numbers. I am eagerly waiting to see you jump to the top as planned! Good luck.

"My scores are so bad that if there were minus numbers I would be there. LOL
