Mary, could you please tell how you make the numbers in bold?

When you make a post, there are 6 icons at the top left. The "B" means bold. You highlight the text you want bolded and click on the B icon.

We have on the waiting list kashi, cosprenks (a recipe is due), and Brookied.

It seems reasonable to put people out on a standby list that are not participating and bring in new people to try out.

But if they turn out to be good, can we sell them?

The outstanding ones are inducted into the suck hall of fame and begin their graduate studies. For example,

biteme and

pidge. Some like

kronus are hibernating.

Hi :)

And to "prove" I suck. I took well over 100 shots for motion panning and didn't get even a single keeper out of the bunch. *sigh*

But, I've got an idea I *think* is good for Entrance - just waiting until the bigger littles are in bed to see if I can make it work or not.

Congratulations to

NikonJeb for the RIBBON!! As punishment, he receives the Momentary Lack of Sucking award, via which he must comment on all the Team Suck images from this week (which he has not already commented on ).

A Bold Note On Rules Rules are only bad when they're bad rules. Here at Team Suck, we have lots of rules, and we cherish them. The important thing is that they follow two criteria:

1) They are capricious and arbitrary, thus creating a sense of mystique that discerning photographers find so alluring.

2) They promote a sense of fairplay for the competition portion of our festivities. It's all well and good to say "rules schmules" but when people are competing against each other they like to feel they are on a somewhat level playing field.

And now to our new members. I suggest

cosprenks for Team Entropy and

Brookied for OOFers. That will give them 7 players, but both are having attendance problems.

a bold note on suspensions. We're not suspending people from Team Suck. We're just taking them off of subteams so that we can go on competing each week. When they come back, they can rejoin their teams.

My Motion Pan is doing much better than I thought... watch out, Deb!

another note on new members: I am perfectly happy to leave recruitment/membership up to the subteams. I just don't want to leave someone hanging when they come on to the thread. Let's make 7 the new max until we have to break it again.

A big welcome to

cosprenks,

kashi and

Brookied!

Well, Team Novice, we've avoided the brown for two weeks in a row! I must say, however, my Match score is going to bring us dowwwwwwwn. It is at an all-time low for me, of 4.5 or similar. I may be in contention for the personal brown on this one! Julianne, your ridiculously high score in Match will not be enough to save this one, I'm afraid. :-)

Note to self: stick wif pwetty aminal fotoz.

The idea of a personal brown is very amusing. Thanks for the laugh and the complement on my ridiculous Match score, which is currently 6.5.

It helps to enter challenges when you can.

Every Wednesday we post thumbnails to the results of last week's challenges. We encourage you to look through the member's photographs and make comments/suggestions.

Remind us to have fun if we are too serious.

There is an icon available for team entropy if you would like one for your profile page.

Well my match photo is taking a beating, and I know why, and you can count on some questions after the challenge. Best of 06 is doing ok, 6.1, but getting a new high in comments, and all positive, I would have the blue ribbon wrapped up, if for 26 votes, LOL.

i'm not dead! just quiet.

i haven't posted much this last few days but i'm in it for "best of" and "battle"

in "battle" i'm holding a 5.28 with 15 comments ( most of them from women ). i think i jumped sides for this challenges.

but 5.2 is way better than i've been doing lately so perhaps things are looking up again.

don't mistake my silence for inactivity. i will be entering "entrance" and "wildlife" to support the team.

i'm proud of entropy and especially of jeb. we all know he took us over the top this time.

Well, I'm sure our fearless leader Don

posthumous will come up with something quirky but fun if you didn't already get your "initition rite." If you haven't figured it out by now, we're not exactly like the um "big boys/girls" competing on the WPL.

My only words of wisdom (take this with a whole truck full of salt):

a) enter lots of challenges
b) don't be afraid to try something totally different (we don't care if you score highly or not)
c) comments tend to b a give-and-you-shall receive kind of thing. Give Team Suck members lots of comments on their portfolio and/or contest entries, and you'll get lots of comments on yours. We strive to be up-beat, helpful and honest in our comments. Some of my Suckmates have not been overly-fond of certain entries, and they let me know, but in such a way that it's all good at the end of the day :-)
d) it's okay to enter an entry every once in awhile that is a DPC-crowd pleaser and you know will score well. We all need that ego boost sometimes while struggling with our, um, more creative sides.
e) the only real rules are whatever Don makes up at the time. Arbitrariness is next to godliness at Team Suck.

Remember, Sucking is a state of mind. Feel the zen of suckiness surrounding you like a skunk left too long in a trunk, and you too shall suck...or run like hell. We all like the skunk and have made it our own.

Edit to add: damn, must quit typing after taking Ambien.
