I think I liked my first 4 votes best. Good thing I didn't get my hopes up early...

Went to bed last night with a 6+ only to wake up this morning with a sub 5. I guess I'm not alone.

This challenge is silly, will be interested to see what happens this week because this is just stupid right now.

Seriously, lot of low votes being dished, good grief! Talk about a false start, my first 4 votes averaged a 9! Now I'm gonna be lucky to be above a 5! Oh well, I'm just trying to enter no matter what and learn from that without worrying too much about scores. Old habits did hard I guess.

At one point I'd dropped 1.5 in less than ten votes, uncanny stuff.

numerically challenged?
pounding away on number 5

It's the 4 that's taking a pounding :)

Good job the first fifteen votes averaged 7.5, if not I'd be sitting with a 4.
03/21/2012 10:57:47 AM · #87
three 1s and a 2 already :(

The good news is that I'm averaging 6.16 without them. (5.6 with them) but if the trolls would just stop, I might make it into tiny voilin range by the end.

The weird thing is 40 votes already on a non-inspiring challenge. Usually you only get this many votes this quickly on a new challenge.
03/21/2012 11:01:03 AM · #89
This is very strange. I'm wondering how many people has still scores over 6. Now I'm at 5.33 - not my best shot, but not a low 5

Initially, I assumed the first 10-15 votes were "reasonable" and the ones that have followed have been low balling me. However, now I am not sitting at 46 votes and my score continues to erode so I am now wondering if I had things turned around. Perhaps the first 10-15 votes were actually inflated and the ones that have followed have been reasonable for my image?

Hit the dizzying height of 5.00. Gonna be a long week.

I'm starting to wonder the same...

Honestly, I think this is always the case aspeople tend to just vote on a few in the beginning and just click on the thumbnails they are attracted to.
I know this is the case in this challenge because in the beginning i was sitting at a 6.75 which this image does not deserve and am now sitting at a 5.6 which is reasonable for my entry

Votes are usually high and low and swings are normal the first day BUT this is not the case in this challenge. Something else entirely is going on.

It does seem to happen more frequently in open challenges. Either that, or our pics really do suck.

Not if yours is the one I think it is. No way that is a low 5

The challenges do seem to be a bit inflated recently. Last couple of entries have started out really high and then went down to reasonable.

(I'm not calling this reasonable, though. But the start might have been a bit inflated.)
03/21/2012 11:46:55 AM · #98
My score was definetly unreasonable in the beginning, now it's just underachieving :)

Edited because of emotion.

Yeah, agreed, point in case....

9 after 4 was completely unreasonable for my shot. Now I'm at 5.5 which is as out where I thought it'd be.

Very slow improvement from a 4.6 early this morning... very disappointing.

I actually ended up voting a bit low than my average... but there are some really good diamonds in the rough.

You have rated 112 of 112 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 25 images (22%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 5.6161.

I may play with my votes a bit, but as of now: 4 9s, 10 8s, 17 7s.
