Ping was absolutely right.
He’s the smartest person I know. He’s clever, charming and funny. Most importantly....he told me so.

It's a smart one...
if only i could find a spot on it not covered in pimples.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

i just gave Ping's story a 1 for him being a smart ass.
Well, darling, if you gave him a 1 then that means you are not entering the contest. Else Nic will just throw out your bomb vote.

I've just upped my scores on everybody's stories. I'm generous like that and you're gonna need them. 
Votes for me are now running at 127. I think Queenie got in on the act and it looks like every royal person has voted for me now. As long as Nicola doesn't remove 5s from first time scorers I should be OK.
It just goes to show that connections are everything and people in general are so nice, and I know that everyone here that hasn't voted for me yet, wouldn't want to miss out on reading the best story in this competition before it closes. Go on - do some work at the office and help Melissa out.
The best thing about this competition, for me, is not the views. It's the generous comments that people have left on my stories. I feel privileged that you have taken the time to read it.
Did Nicola not mention to anyone else that the nicer you are to people, the more votes you get from the moderators at the end. Something to consider I reckon.

My tiny brain melted at the thought of trying to work out average scores and all that.
So I'll just say please read and score my story and leave it at that.
Thanks to all of you who've already done so. ???❤

Good luck Darkside....you're going to need it.
We all know that you don't have 127 votes. You're not even close.
I'm up to 115 and my fans haven't finished yet. Good luck to you my friend.
Melissa needs to do much more to get the kind of attention a 10 million writer gets.
Will see...

100% wrong.
You clearly didn't understand Liz's explanation, nor mine.
I just went through your scores out of curiosity. Of all the < 5 scores (19 of them), two were from competitors. I have removed them.
I do this for every competition.
If it were possible to code it in such a way, I wouldn't allow competitors to vote on each other's stories at all. It's too easy to vote a whole bunch down.
But it has to be a manual process, so Gav has coded it so that I can see the score on every story published here, and the person who scored it.
For this competition and every other I've ever ran, I do this after the deadline day has passed.
It takes me the best part of a day typically to do this for every single story entry (a very laborious and dull process).
Which is why I only do it once usually (believe it or not, I have better things to do with my time) at the end.
So in summary, trying to accurately keep track of who's scored what and where you stand, will be pretty much impossible and a fruitless exercise.
Good luck!
So if I have this right:
I have read and voted on every story so far. My votes are honest, mostly 5s because the standard of writing is quite high. One entry I felt warranted a mere 2, and there was a smattering of 3s and 4s. Because I am a competitor these lower votes will not count for the competition scores but will of course still count post-comp. Had I no horse in this race all my votes would affect the competition scores.
Yes? No? Maybe?
Looks like we're in for a nasty spell of wether.

Because I am a competitor these lower votes will not count for the competition scores but will of course still count post-comp.
I don't want to divulge too much as some people might get ideas how to game the system. Put it this way, if I know someone has a history of down voting competitors' stories in past competitions, I usually pull all their votes. If it's their first time voting and I see lots of lowish votes, I pull all their scores.
For ordinarily trusted members with competition entries, I mostly leave their scores alone unless there are a few obvious scores way below what I'm seeing from other members. In which case I pull their scores totally as they then go into the untrusted pile.
Pulled votes don't come back when the competitions end. They remain deleted from the database.
Quote by GraceW

Correct. Mostly.
If I noticed you had repeatedly scored 1's and 2's on stories in the competition, I would assume that you had an ulterior motive and the low votes would most likely be removed. Very few stories accepted here ever justify a 1 score, so if you'd voted a few of those, I'd suspect something was up.
Again, it's really a matter of me looking at the story score distribution from the whole data set for each story, and votes made by someone across other stories, and making individual judgement calls.
Thankfully our writers and membership almost all play fair, so none of this really matters in the greater scheme of things!

For our next competition along these lines, I'll thinking of encouraging as much foul play as possible.
A free-for-all competition where chaos ensues. Dirty tricks, slur campaigns, vote bombing, slagging off stories in comment areas etc.., all actively encouraged.
I think it will be great for morale and lift us to a higher level!
What should we title it, "Dirty Tricks"? "Foul Play"? "Whatever it takes"?

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you very much.
Normally, and depending on the number of entries, a Senior Story Mod or two, will go through (or help me to go through) and read every entry in a competition, not even knowing what the scores were.
We then select a shortlist of 10 which go to the judges.
This competition is unusual by design, and part of it is aimed at showing authors how difficult it is to run and judge a competition professionally.
Leaving competitions to the highest average score only as the winning criteria is not only lazy, but I believe insulting to writers who've spent a great deal of time on conceiving, crafting and proofreading their entries (and who might not have many friends or know how to market themselves). Other sites may choose to take the easy "primarily a popularity contest" route. I've always refused to.
This competition has been seen by 99% of our community as a bit of fun. It has introduced a lot more interaction and playfulness than our usual competition format.
I'm really enjoying the banter, as are many others judging by my inbox!

Please...please...please don't do that. We wouldn't know where fantasy meets reality if that happened.
Maybe a competition where one lushie has to fuck another in a story - that may be interesting? It has to be someone they don't know that well though, and the winner is the one that gets it most right, when judged by the other lushie.
