True to this weeks theme, the one I like better did horrible compared to the one I thought was average!
January 29, 2010 at 1:41 am #26058LeicaLensParticipantI always vote for my own shots. If I didn’t feel they were worth a vote, why put them out there?
That was one of the great conundrums for me: is it bad form to vote for my own entries. I think in this week’s competition it should be compulsory! After all, it’s about shots youlike that nobody else does.
Anyway, none of my entries did well, so I guess I stuck close to the theme.
/I’m not being 100% serious about the compulsory part. 😉
January 29, 2010 at 2:31 am #26059lokisbongParticipantI am rather blown away by the votes my harbor picture is getting. I love it but didn’t think anyone else would like it.
I like the wide variety of subjects this time.January 29, 2010 at 2:45 am #26060mopsyParticipantI just got home awhile ago and read through the discussion threat and, wow, I missed all the controversy!!! I never even gave a thought about my bird picture stepping over the line. Am glad it got solved without me. Thank you for reinstating it. Of course, I did not know it was gone.

January 29, 2010 at 3:12 am #26062KestranaParticipantI can’t do the magic eye thing 🙁

Exactly. Plus, the FSM doesn’t see a pic unless it has at least one vote, or something like that. So, I always vote for mine first. I’ll come back later and vote for other deserving entries.
I vote for my own pictures for the same reasons, but I do all my voting at the same time: Saturday. The latest of late players gets a chance at my vote, I (or they) don’t need to rely on remembering to go back and see if anyone else came along and submitted a picture.
Also, that means that by the time I vote, that’s pretty much all the votes I’m going to get. Not 100% of the time, but usually, I can feel a sense of closure at that point lol.
ETA: Kestrana: Me neither. I can’t ever see the pictures in the dots either.

Being blind in one eye means they don’t work for me either. I would love it if they worked but nope. no 3d movies either. At least not the old red/blue color separation type.

Wait, we don’t have to do all voting at the same time?
January 29, 2010 at 4:57 am #26066sleepingParticipantYou can vote multiple times, just not for the same entry more than once.
January 29, 2010 at 9:19 am #26067SilverStagParticipantPart of the reason I vote for mine first is that its easy to do it when I post them, and don’t forget it. Then, I come back sometime after I’m sure all the posting is likely done, to give all the rest a fair shake.
January 29, 2010 at 3:48 pm #26068sooshParticipantI do the same, SilverStag

Considering how often I need my own votes to maintain at the very least my average votes per entry, I am unlikely in the extreme to forget to vote for my own pictures when I vote for everyone else’s.
But it doesn’t really matter when or in how many installments someone votes, as long as they give everyone’s picture a chance to be seen. 🙂
January 30, 2010 at 3:21 am #26070bucky_baconParticipantI like to realize that I’m voting for people that I’m not familiar with. There was a lot of that this week.
Also, good showing by lokisbong. Nice stuff!
January 30, 2010 at 7:21 am #26071lokisbongParticipantThank you bucky_bacon I am still shocked that all of my entries this week are doing so good.
