From our fearless leader, posthumous:

"This thread belongs to Team Suck, a ragtag group of militia... um... photographers who compatriate more than compete, more interested in winging than winning, in love than lustre.

We don't let a low score get in the way of a dream!

As our seditious philosophy gained ground, our ranks grew, until we became more than just a team. We became a league of teams in wholesome if not entirely serious competition with each other. And that's the way we all became Team Suck.

This thread is for suckers to commiserate and compete. It can also be used for anyone with questions or comments about the Suck lifestyle. If you do wish to join us, we ask that you participate at DPC for a while to see if sucking really is your style, and we ask that you fulfill whatever half-brained initiation we come up with at that moment."

Join us at our new website dedicated to the suck way of life. Visitors are always welcome; stop by for a cuppa coffee, spot of tea, keg of beer, or photoshop confusion.

Nominate OOBIE or YAPPIE!

Team Suck Policy Statement

posthumous quote:

"I don't make these very often. In fact, I might never make these, but this is a pretty fundamental policy that I'm talking about, and it's a necessary one for our survival in DPC. It has to do with voting practices. Obviously, we are not responsible for the voting practices of our members, but to go further I'd like to suggest some guidelines for how Team Suckers vote:

- We do not share photos with each other and then vote on them.
- We do not vote higher on images just because we think they were made by a member of Team Suck.
- We do not encourage each other to vote higher for certain types or styles of images. We pride ourselves on our variety of tastes and styles.
- We do not encourage any particular voting method, though we might frown at people with 3.67 voting averages and make grumbling noises.
- The only way we might influence voting is indirectly, by enriching everyone's tastes and opening their minds to what can be beautiful, and this sort of discussion is never about an identifiable picture in a current challenge."

s.q.======Team Minus======6.065033333

just lookie there, four teams averaging over 6!

And now the punishments... I mean rewards...

Butterflies must vote on the winners of OOBIEs and YAPPIEs as prescribed by quiet_observation

Believe it or not, the Momentary Laps of Suckage Award does not go to Melethia, but to silverfoxx!! She is to comment on our challenge entries to the best of her abilities.

Melethia should not think that she can get away with winning a ribbon, however. She must now write a poem about the color yellow.

I thought I had to write about red?

Oh, and in addition to the thread mentioned in the first post, there's also this one:
Second overgrown Team Suck thread

And there's here, too, if you miss us. :-)

Yeah, but the first message he wrote, before he fixed it, said "red" - so there I am thinking about red all day... sigh. And all I came up with was this:
Red is the color of my true love's hair.
Which isn't true in my case, but it was a good line in a song once upon a time.
02/01/2007 04:56:08 PM · #9
Yay!
 02/01/2007 05:08:54 PM · #10

good luck to all entries next week
 02/01/2007 05:14:48 PM · #11
Don't forget to nominate a YAPPIE or OOBIE here.

first of all, I deny everything.

Second of all, black was the color of that person's true love's hair.

I sent in my self DQ request this morning, and came home and it's still there!!! I have 6 comments telling me it's messed up. This is one of those that would probably get 40 comments all saying that.

Edit: in the past hour got 2 more...

Orange was the color of her dress, then silk blue.

I hope she wasn't wearing the orange dress when her hair was red. The blue silk. Oh wait, his hair was red. The blue silk would go nice with red or black.

In the 2nd post of this thread - the Minimalism and Fill the Frame thumbnails are posted.

Congrats!

In case anyone's wondering, I'm getting a bit of whiplash going back and forth between here and our forum.

Me too. I tend to prefer here as it's more likely to encourage interest into Team Suck. The other forum is useful to have more extended topics, though.
 02/02/2007 02:22:28 AM · #23
Agree that both serve useful purposes. I do like having this thread here for the thumbs of the challenge results and just to have a place to read when I'm on DPC. The other site is great for all the tips, tricks, links, critiques, etc. So a little whiplash will be OK, I think.
 02/02/2007 10:28:04 AM · #24
Never mind.

So I found out today at about 2 pm that I'm leaving at 11 am tomorrow for a 6 day trip. To Italy. Now before you all think this is just TOO cool, keep in mind it involves very complicated travel (my organization has no money and the way we keep expenses down is really something to behold) and attending conference activities all day and several evenings. But still, it IS Italy. So it is kinda cool.

Not sure I'll have internet access and pretty sure I won't be able to enter any challenges or do much voting, which is a bummer with the Free Study up. :-(
