Official Challenge Entry Thread-July

[newbie]

I see what you mean, N_A, but it seemed like people like to vote on these things. It is a bit deflating to come in low on the totem pole, having been there myself, but sometimes, to quote Albus Dumbledore, "We must try not to sink beneath our anguish,..., but battle on."

I completely agree with only the top three being shown.

ometimes, to quote Albus Dumbledore, "We must try not to sink beneath our anguish,..., but battle on."

Good Dumbledore quotes are another reason you are the bomb, newbie. I just don't want any of our folks to feel discouraged.

You know what is interesting? Amy used to show only the top 10 vote counts, or so, in the GSC Challenge but many people actually requested that she show ALL the vote counts, which meant people could see who got one or none etc... Before, the remaining people, below those top ten, were in random order but she changed it to reflect the actual voting upon request from the participants. I was very surprised by that but that's why it is like that now.

Rowling has some fantastic quotes from her characters, I must say.

I think the reason for that is *b/c* the GSW challenges really geared are to the competitive aspect, and most of those people do not know each other in the way we do here. That approach is great in some ways, it produces really wonderful, innovative results sometimes. But one of the reasons I like this challenge is that it is not about winning, per se. For me, I have already won because I spent way too much time learning a new technique and am pretty happy to have done so.

My vote is in! It was hard, the first was easy for me, but then I had to keep scrolling back and forth for the other two. I have no idea who I voted for, I can't remember who did what.

 

[TeresaT]

Voted! Amazing soaps, everyone.

 

[jules92207]

Done. That was really hard. I had a top 4 so it was really hard to leave the one out. Very lovely soaps everyone!

 

[Sonya-m]

Voted!!

 

[gigisiguenza]

Are only participants allowed to vote? I don't wanna go to vote n mess things up LOL

 

[KristaY]

I tried to vote but when I click on the box next to the number or the soap pic, nothing shows - no tick mark. What am I doing wrong?

 

[TeresaT]

Are only participants allowed to vote? I don't wanna go to vote n mess things up LOL

Yes. Only participants at this time. Newbie said it might be opened up for everyone later.

Edit: look at Post #51 for Newbie's actual wording regarding voting.

 

[TVivian]

I voted! I hope it worked... That wasn't easy only voting for 3, I had 5 or 6 favorites!

 

[dibbles]

I'm kind of glad I don't have to vote! Really nice work everyone. There is something beautiful about each one.

 

[SunWolf]

That was a tough choice, but my vote is in. Beautiful job all around!!

Hey Newbie I sent you a message

 

[galaxyMLP]

As with all new things and challenges, "oops" happen. We've made an "Oopsie" and forgot to include someone in the original count.

Sorry about that! :sad:

Last Entry: (Entry 19)

I will go fix the poll now! ALL those who already entered will need to re-submit with the new survey in order to make it fair! I have CLOSED the survey for now. I am at work right now and will try to get it going as the day goes on during my little breaks! The survey design server is not responding for some reason.

 

[lionprincess00]

It happens! We will get better every month and it will be smooth sailing soon enough

 

[not_ally]

I agree, I think for the v. first one, this has been remarkably good and kink-free. Galaxy, I am grateful for the work that you and Newbie are putting in at this point (actually Newbie has been a powerhouse all along, thank you for being an exemplary challenge runner, newb) so that the rest of us can sit back and read about the results.

 

[galaxyMLP]

Ok, its all good! All responses have been cleared so you should all be able to vote again. Please please dont hesitate to PM me with any problems/questions. Last entry has been added.

Still the same link, but I'll post it here again for convenience

Voted! Choosing my favorites was harder than I thought it would be so I enlisted my daughters help in narrowing it down.
