Sharing one & two with your spouse just wasn’t good enough, you had to have it all to yourself, eh orionid? 😉 Congrats on an awesome showing!
And now, on to some stats…
While we didn’t have any single entries that topped 100 votes, we did have 5 farktographers that had 100 or more votes total, which is in itself a relatively rare occurrence having happened only 140 times previously:
UserName Votes
orionid 176
Elsinore 120
Ranger Joe 112
BecauseISaidSo 109
Zero Exponent 100And orionid‘s total at 176 puts him at the #5 spot all-time.
As far as total contest votes, while it started out stronger than Weather, it flattened out a bit and then came back strong to finish just slightly less. Rather than duplicate the graph here, I’ve updated the one in my previous post to show the whole timeline.
That puts this contest at #14 and makes 6 top-twenty contests in the last 6 months. I’d say that’s a pretty strong statement that farktography is alive and well.
One thing to note in this list as compared to previous versions: I’ve eliminated the first six contests from stats consideration as contest #7 was the first to standardize on the 3-photos-per-entrant rule.
Actually, if that’s based on the FSM, I think “Filtered For Your Protection” is still filtered for our protection, so my 666th entry was probably last week.
Els, I have you at 249 contests, 665 entries, and 11982 votes prior to this contest. So, your 666th entry was actually…
Cue spooky music…
your baby photo. 😯 Rosemary’s Baby?
Cause can you post a link to the voting trend? I looked for it on your website but are the graphs not public or linked?
I’ve got the data gathering piece done, but I don’t have any presentation yet, so the graphs I’ve shown previously have all been hand-made in Excel. I’m hoping to wrap up the project that’s keeping me busy this week which should give me some time to get back to developing the stats site.
While we’re still trending toward a new (recent) record, it’s not quite as big of an increase as you might think. We’re less than 100 votes over Weather at the same time last week:
I’ve already bested a few of my personal stats–why be greedy?
“… So I’ll just take 1st and 2nd and y’all can fight over the rest.” 😆
Congrats, rav. Awesome.
And here’s the final word on this one – 3141 total votes, putting it at the #8 spot for most votes cast:
CauseISaidSo, glad you liked em, and also glad I made you laugh. Your quarter-size hail shot reminded me of the story my stepdad told me about a nasty hailstorm on his street. After the storm, he saw one of his neighbours climb up on the roof with a ballpeen hammer to make sure there was enough damage that his roof would be replaced by the insurance company!
Also, Bandit is a great looking dog. Maybe we’ll see that shot in vote whoring?Ha! Unfortunately, there was no need for the hammer after that storm. Literally every roof in my neighborhood (and several others) had to be replaced.
And thanks from Bandit! That’s actually why I didn’t enter that one in this contest (possibly saving it for vote whoring). I’ve got another of her as a puppy that I might use instead, though. Maybe both, I don’t otherwise have a lot of vote whoring material.
Last epic as in last week? I’ll quote Perry White: “I don’t believe it!” Graphs, please.
You know I can’t pass up an opportunity to whore out my stats. 😉 But, no, aside from orionid stealing all the votes ;), last week was just slightly above average in total vote count. I was talking about the week before’s epic:
Gray is the average of the past 13 contents, #297 is the epic “Five Is Right Out”, #298 is “Color Popping Naturally” and #299 is where we are today. Almost twice the average and above even 5IRO.
I’m shooting for a 3rd place–that’s the only top ten spot I’ve yet to get.
I’ve got two of those – wanna trade for a 2nd? 🙂 Also need a 5th & 7th.
