A 1.8 avg would be like 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 9/5 = 1.8
So 2 judges put Bomb first, 2 put him seconds, and one put him third. (or 3 1s + 2 3s, or 1 1 and 4 2s, etc).

Not me almost giving the same explanation. 
Although it could also be 3 #1s and 2 #3s or some other combination.

Sad to see Bey_Rih go so early again. She's already a Top Member in my eyes though.

You were actually my #2, iirc. The only one from my Top 6 that didn't make the actual Top 6 was conatus.

We understand and you understand that your username isn't the best. However, this challenge wasn't simply about usernames, it was in combination with your avatars; your presentation. What people see to the left side of your posts. Your username has become known because of the underscore and what not; and your avatar has become known because of Brandy. My true issue with your whole entry was the fact that it was more about what other people thought than what you thought about your name. Keeping the username because people know it, keeping the avatar brandy themed because that's how people recognize you; I wanted it to be more about you than what other people thought. The other judges gave some similar statements in our PM discussion as well, along with the chances discussion and still being in the bottom. But like I said and what Cupid reiterated, it was really tough for us to at least come to one side of things. Like seriously, there were moments where you stayed. It was a tough situation for the first challenge.

Interesting. It's also funny that I said there was a big difference between batch 1 and 2 and the results confirmed it.  Bring on the next challenge Matty  Watch you, Con and I end up being the first three to submit again.

Is the next challenge coming tonight as well? I remember the first challenge went up pretty quickly after the cast was named.

Why is my entry constantly being misinterpreted? I never said my username was known because of the underscore. Why are people still saying that? this is what I said about the underscore:
Quote:

The underscore has especially come under fire. Everyone hates it, but I kinda like it. When I joined, I didn't think of making my name "Bey Rih stan", because that's what it would've been had I actually thought it through. If you think about it, the underscore kinda gives it personality & notice-ability. It stands out in a crowd. It's like a fire red head in an audience full of blonde members.
|
Most of the username portion of my entry was about how I felt about my username. The username section was more about me than it was about others. I will admit that I might have elaborated too much about other people in the avatar section but I felt that other people's opinions mattered. That was my fault. Whatev's tho. I guess I'll attempt the comeback challenge even though I mostly won't get in because of the chances thing, as that was obv part of the reason why i was eliminated.
& PS my avi is known bc of Brandy

Finally, house guest JakeKills came up with a simulated Hunger Games to entertain the house guest for a while. While, Conatus AKA Coconut was the personality of the thread and tried to spark conversation. Just a reminder that part of being a Top Member is being able to keep threads active and alive and these two know just how to do it!

So Superpower and I are non-existent to you? It takes two to tango

A Bomb had my favorite entry this round and I'm so glad to see that the judges agreed. Congrats on the top callout!
