Jojo, quit that! You're making me blush... :P I'd forgotten all about that feature of WPL - should be interesting to watch that unfold in the top 10 as they have a pretty good race going on. p.s. - Did you notice who is in the #21 spot?! He-he.

Ok - So officially 3 of us are still alive and kicking! :D You're right, I've seen Blue Moon in the forums and Todd was posting something also I noticed.

Now, how about Trevor and Chris? Hmmm... Yoohoo, still out there you two? :P

Well, there are 7 people on the team, at least that's how many signed up initially.

There is a silver lining in here somewhere...we get a rematch with the Buzzards for Playoff Round 1. Of course, at this point it's too late to get anything else (challenge entry) in that counts. Either we have enough (4 scores) this week or we don't - can't do anything about it. I have to keep telling myself that. Still a smidgen irked.

Who was it that nudged me into being a captain anyway?! :P

It's just a game. I personally have some REALLY important issues going on in my life right now, and it's very possible that others do, as well. Staying up past midnight to get a picture together and submitted just isn't an option. All about fun, man, all for fun. :)

It's not "your fault" and it's not a reflection on you. It's okay :)

OH MY GOD...the fates (or whatever) are seriously conspiring against me. I shot my portrait pic over the weekend, made sure I got back in time to edit it, finished editing it with about 15 minutes to spare, THEN i find out my internet isn't working. I restarted my compu, but nada. Tried email, but it doesn't work without a connection. So I rush around to find a floppy, which I haven't used in years, load the pic and go to the computer in the other room. I shoved in the disc (unsuccessfully the first 2 times b/c it was upside down, oops) then uploaded the pic only to be yelled at my my computer "Cannot read file". AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! 2 minutes to go, tried everything, nothing worked. I'm sooo frustrated at everything around me and myself, especially since I know this challenge is important. Sorry guys, I really am.

03/19/2007 12:18:23 AM · #387

Honey, things like that happen! At least you tried :)

ETA: On a positive note, I think (looks like) a new PB soooo we may be okay (if we even made it this far) ;)

Leah - Thanks for the effort and the heads-up on your status. You can still get in one of the Open Challenges yet that are due by tomorrow evening. :)

Good news, bad news.

Good news is we have 4 scores - Hooray! Thanks!!!
Bad news is our cumulative score is a wee bit behind the competition. :/

Playoff Round 1 mid-point results:

glad2badad - 5.7727

nards656 - 4.2619 Thanks Bernard!

TCGuru - 4.8968 Thanks Jojo!

Blue Moon - n/a

bryantbus - n/a

youngnova - 4.8921 Thanks Trevor!

toddhead - n/a

Team Free Agents - 4.9559
The Buzzards - 5.3916

How's everyone doing in the two Open Challenges, 'Image Grain II' or 'Crossdress' ???

I'll bring us up a little, but not much. Somebody out there with a nice big surprise maybe? :) Well, it never hurts to ask. :D

03/19/2007 09:29:41 AM · #390

Crossdress is 5.8925 but I expect it will rise a bit before tomorrow night... late voters :)

GOOOOOO TEAM!!! :)

I hope we make it through... I don't really WANT to compete against the untouchables again :::shakes in shoes::: but perhaps this weeks' scores (not telling... jinx) will help us out if we do.

If we get to next week, I can give you some decent support it looks like (I'm not jinxing either!). :D

Not too doggone proud of that 4.2, but I had every intention of entering one of the Opens when I entered it. That didn't happen, however; real life got in the way again :(

At least it weren't a big fat zero. Maybe TC's 5.8 will pull us through. We'll hope.

03/20/2007 07:30:12 PM · #394

Well, how's everyone holding up?? Are we in a position to hold our own should we advance to divisionals?

We just GOTTA make it past round 1 LOL

GTBAD, how is your CP holding up?? Mine's still right where it was... we may be in a good position to kick the UT bootays if we have 2 more entries this week (wheather they are good or not :)

Anyone??

Okay, I'm in for cell phones. I don't think it's going to score extremely well, but at least I'm in.

Thanks, folks. Sorry I didn't hold up too well under pressure, but it was fun. Good getting to know all of you a little better, as well.

Congrats to the Buzzards, and props to Icebreakers for knocking out the Untouchables, which I didn't think anyone could do. Compliments all around for some great photography.
