Geez, the people out there voting right now must be in really bad moods or something....I dropped from around 5.7 to 5.1 in the last 5-6 votes. I'm happy to admit I never expected a ribbon for this entry but I must be getting some really low scores and it's just not that bad a pic. :(

I'm down to 4.1154 right now with no comments.

I think that if you give a really low vote (1 or 2), you should have to give a comment or your vote doesn't count. If my picture is that bad, at least tell me why.

Yeah, me too, I dropped from a 5.7 to a 5.0 since this morning...

Zero comments.

You know, and I dont want to open a can of worms... but with regards to the voting...

... it only really started since the WPL league started.

Could it be connected in some evil twisting way??

Just curious.

Note to self: Overly creative = not good. Overly humorous = not good. Bah!

Interesting conspiricy theory - but full of wholes. This challenge has less than 20 votes so far so scores can bounce VERY far with one or two votes when its this early - up OR down. Until about 50 votes are in, you can't consider your score stable at all. Having entered 80 challenges, I assure you, scoring styles/patterns have not changed in the last few weeks, regardless of any leaagues running. Also, why single out WPL when there are 3 leagues running at the moment?

True, I was just wondering. I can assure you, I know very well how much it fluctuates. I was just (amongst other fellow members) curious as to why the comments seemed to have dissapated in the last couple of weeks and I suppose it'd be too obvious to point a finger at the wpl league.

Conspiracies... I like it! :) I have noted though that since last time, some users had their accounts revoked, and those ppl were responsible for voting 1's. You can still see them on the lists.

*edit* Shows you my ignorance, I only know of the WPL league...! :)

Since the last challenge I've been recording my votes and average score [I guess that makes me a number geek] every time I refresh. After I collect enough data I'm going to run some stats to see at what point the final score is pretty much "locked in".

From the limited number of challenges I've been in, the end of the first day seems to be a very good predictor of final score.

Any other thoughts on this?

Actually, that analysis has been done and it seems around 150 votes is the real 'lock point'. Someone even did a "predictor" that can tell you your final score after 50/100/150 votes.......I'll try to dig up the thread.

Im not sure the WPL has much bearing on the voting going lower and people getting trolled. my scores since, before and after WPL have remained stable and the same as they ever was.. Im sure some people are angry about the team thing but it really is just a bit of fun. my votes have gone from a 5.2 this morning to a 4.8 and my shot is pretty damn good i think, but one thing i know for sure.. It is not the opposing team members voting me down for their gain. The overall score has dropped if you ask me, Ive been here around 2+ years and at first the scoring blue ribbons were easily getting 8s but now it is 7s and even somertimes a score in the 6s has got blue...

Maybe the team thing is to blame a bit but as a rule I think voting in general has taken a dip.

Not doing so hot this time, but it happens from time to time I guess. I may have been a bit too broad and ambiguous with my subject this time. With the DPC voting crowd it can be hit-or-miss. So, I am going for a BROWN ribbon, woohoo!
