Hi all

Hope everyone's getting ready to have a great year...if my Occupation scores stays where it is I'll be tres happy (5.8805 or so right now).

I know one thing that has definitely made my day - that Death entry of the cat - the _#*%! who shot it obviously had multiple accounts and gave himself high votes. If you read the 'positive' comments on that shot, guess what? All those accounts are *mysteriously* closed. Hmmm.

OK, that's not exactly the most festive way to start off the New Year, but I do trust that this means we've seen the last of this ...person. I daren't call him a photogorapher.

nimil, I noticed that he left a bunch of comments ranging from "lame" to "loser." Coincidentally, "Uhmeal" is one of those closed accounts

snaffles was referring to. "Uhmeal" had this to say about dead cat picture: "Excellent picture, I wish I could take one this good.I really like the blood!"

Why is this guy still a registered user? Seems he should be kicked off permanently for this type of stuff.

Isn't that what Rikki got kicked off for?

It's hard for me to understand why anyone would want to vote multiple times for other people's photos or even their own. Even if you won a blue doing that, I imagine it would (or should) feel pretty shabby. Half the fun is the update button. :-)

It was my understanding that Rikki got his friends to vote high, not that he set up multiple accounts. I could be wrong, though.

Can you be in the Team Suck league and the WPL? Can I contribute to both? I have plenty of suckiness to go around.

That's what I want to know. Why isn't

nimil's account canceled? It doesn't seem like much of a punishment to have your extra accounts canceled if you can continue participating.

Rex, you need to share your suckiness more. You're not entering enough challenges.

I now have a photo in for "Centered" and "Free Study".

My "Pattern" is currently at 5.7778. If it can stay there, it will be my second best score.

I am in 12 Days of Christmas, Free Study and Centered. I have a pretty good Fence shot also. I had it entered but switched to Centered, and I might switch again before Tuesday night. Too many decisions!

I had an entry in Pattern (my 2 choices are in my portfolio), but changed to battery. Only getting a 5.0xxx, so perhaps I made the wrong decision.

Anyone else besides Chaimelle and myself in Twelve Days? I've got a totally wacky entry. Should be fun.

I'm in Twelve Days, but the shot will suck. Let's just call it a learning experience.

lol... they're all learning experiences. i'm sure you're shot will be off the hook. i just submitted for centered but im afraid i may have post proccessed it to death.

i will be in free study by the end of the night and maybe 12 days if i can come up with something creative enough.

12/30/2006 11:17:46 PM · #91

okay... talk about "sucks"

i have entered centered ( that rhymed! ) but i have two other pictures i want to enter.

i'm going to show them to crystal and get her opinion. after i choose one i'll post the two i didn't enter. none of the pics have anything to do with the others so i'm not worried about anyone figuring out what i entered.

arggh! the problems involved with being creative!

My pattern is creeping ever so slowly up, Harsh is staying put... I'll probably be in Fences, I'm in FS. Nothing for 12 Days of Xmas.

6.2 is nothing to shake a stick at. thats higher than my best shot.

i didn't get into harsh but i've made my choice for centered.

i will post the out takes soon.

i have 12 days and free to come up with now.

My Harsh is getting a lot of attention (comments and views) but not a very good score:

Occupation is at 5.2 and Patterns is at 4.9.

I have entries in Free Study and 12 Days, and I am hoping to come up with an idea, or see something that strikes my fancy, for Centered or Fences.

Way to go, Posthumous, on your momentary lack of suckiness!

I'm very happy with this. I am also in Free Study. Actually, I've had the picture in Free Study since December 2nd. I went out today and shot my Centered shot and have it entered. I'm pretty happy with the post processing and that's what scares me.

12/31/2006 12:14:47 AM · #97

these are the pics i didn't use for centered. they have absolutely nothing to do with the one that i've entered and cant possibly give you a clue as to where i took the one i did enter.

tell me what you think of these. i'm really happy with my last few days shooting and am going to start shooting every day.

i'm going to need a lot of help post proccessing though...
