You can use your kind words and add a comment letting them know you appreciate their work, Cheryl. To me, that kind of acknowledgement speaks volumes.

Sometimes, it's not always about the votes.

That's a good idea Eve, I will do that. Thanks!

yeah its about this






please feel free to quote me on that

ok so i haven't read all pages of this forum and have voted for my own before noticing all the talk on voting on your own image i will say that i voted on our(w.c.m.) entry based on the reply above as i brought it up earlier in the forum knowing that this would be a poss. confict.

while we are on the subject of appreciation

just to be sure it doesn't get lost

Eve has put in a lot of thought and work into this activity and hoped to produce something fun and playful. I for one am glad that Eve is thinking about how to make the PSC family reach out to each other in a new way.

I personally appreciate Eve for her efforts to get me situated early in the contest despite a couple of missed connections. I ultimately had to pull my name out because of big work obligations, but would have loved to play along.

So Eve, I appreciate your effort here.

Hopefully as a "first go" there will be enough excitement created to get some momentum for more collaborations in the future, at which time the various issues about voting and source will get resolved/optimized/fine-tuned.

couldn't agree more

It is something that should be always expected with a group and something started anew

i have gone and done this as well and put (-matt-) under them so as not to speak for martex. and i haven't voted yet for other team chops as i'm hanging out to see what happens.

I agree!!!!

I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!!!!!!!

YAY, EVE!!!

YES YES YES!!!!

Instead of tearing apart this TRULY FUN game because of a couple of hiccups, how about some more CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions?

So far, opinion seems to lean that if the COOLaboration teams are going to post their chops in a "regular" daily contest, they should use the daily source... and hopefully Proc would give permission, when asked, to make the source public so non-Advantagers who want to play in this game can do so.

Okay... well, building on that, here some suggestions from little old me:

Basically,
(1) get Procyon's permission to make one of the Daily
sources from a given week available for everyone.

(2) Have one non-participant choose WHICH daily contest from that week we'll use.

(3) Have a SECOND non-participant choose a SECOND SOURCE for us to use. Like how Beet chose the building thingy for us this time.

I think the second-source chooser should NOT know which daily source is going to be used... perhaps both the day and the extra source should be given to Eve or someone ELSE so they are revealed simultaneously to the game participants.

(4) BOTH sources MUST be somehow used in each COOLaboration chop.

The addition of the second source will help prevent Advantagers from using up to a month's worth of work and polish in their COOLaboration chop and allow a set amount of time for COOLaborating teams to work in. Obviously, the inclusion of the daily image will also let the game fit more nicely into that day's contest.

IN OTHER WORDS... have everyone do it like how WE BEAVERS did.

We were unable to post as a team since something happened to my partner and we were unable to finish the chop, but I still posted one of my own chops for the tent competition. Since we had agreed that the collaboration chop would be posted into the tent competition I will vote for the best in either one or the other. I think that even with its little problems this was a fun experience and there has been a buzz around psc which has made this place a little more lively and fun. We should do this again and in the meantime we would all have learned from our experiences. Thanks eve for the work you put in. Congrats to all the great chops in the tent and collaboration competition. _that's my 2c_

Actually, It just occured to me that I voted under my actual name in the collab contest. I still have 25 votes under the Poche name that I could use towards the tent contest. Would that be bad??
