Ducks? Geese? Where?
And why are they having all the fun!
\"Our THREE chief weapons are a computer, the T10L7, a duck and a chicken....\"
could be the alter-ego of a forum regular who they use to bring up stuff like this? We all know that questioning voting can go wrong fast. Either that or just a concerned, but generally passive forum-member
As for this mini, to me it definately looks like something inflated the vote count and score. As for the vote count it really isn\'t unprecidented however, I think my Dragyri had 200 votes in the first 48 hours just from being posted on cmon and jenovas (I think it went \"live\" on cmon at about 175 votes already). As for the score, I think probably theories about forums full of fanboys could be true.
However I also agree with spacemunkie, that scores generally are based on photos here, and these photos are very small, you can see distortions from the image compression, they don\'t look like levels were fixed giving it a much duller look that I expect it has in real life.
Oh well, it seems however though, that the regular members votes are starting to catch up with it and it\'s starting to drop.

really?
apparentally I am just to nice....
I didnt even think of this
I do believe I am going to go back in my little corner, cover my ears and sing *there are good people* over and over again and stick with my \"they are a lurker\" persepective.

I dont think anyone should worry about getting a 1 one time. I dont much care about the voting system myself, I try to vote accordingly nowadays but in the past I\'d have 3-4 browsers going and just vote 1\'s to get through the pics as fast as possible. Or 5\'s or 10\'s or whatever I felt like at the time.
Quite often I\'d do 1\'s though, because there was a theory at the time that the system didnt take into account the votes that were way out of character from the current score. I.E. any vote more than about 2 points out from the current score wouldnt be taken into account. And when is anything under a 4.0? If it is, a 1 isnt going to make much difference anyway. So it seemed safe and fast for me to do...
I mean, in my defense, the voting system seem to be more about stroking E-peen than anything else and I\'m not into that really. As for the people that try to learn to improve and such, I dont have much to offer by way of advice, even if I did, there\'s tonnes of others on this site with better experience and advice. Lastly, one vote wont make much difference, a few bad \"1\" voters like I used to be would even out the +1 or +2 or strait \"10\'s\" the posters friends would vote, or so I thought. Either way, I put half an effort into voting now, hence I\'ll NEVER get through this massive pile of pictures lol

I agree with Ritual, seems like you take some satisfaction in having gotten through and voted on all the minis here (even if it was mindlessly voting without even looking at the photos)...seem no less relevant that someone else takes satisfaction from working hard and improving their scores here on cmon. (to me this actually seems much more relevant)
I mean you spent all that time to make your little vote count number go up, which indicates nothing more than you wasted time to do it (judging by your post). Yet you criticise someone else for working hard to make their score numbers go up, when that is actually an indication of their developing skill in their chosen hobby?
That seems to me like you\'ve developed a bit of a skewed perspective.

Hmmm..
The voting pattern on this mini is definitely unusual, but not if you factor in the \'fan effect\'. That\'s democracy in action folks....think of it as \'party politics\'.
Besides, anyone who takes the CMON voting system too seriously is going to get upset at some point. But we\'ve said this before....
