In todays contest, Disc Toss, TheShaman made a comment on Jerry717's entry that he has frittered away all his votes already,

All 25!! In the first 3 hours!! how can this be true?

Anyway, it got me to wondering...How many of you do this?

I almost always have votes left over but I spend them sparingly throughout the entire contest.

yeah.... normally i only vote on about 10 the first few hours, then go back at the end of the day... too much coffee or something... tons of good entries today too lets see 54 to choose from.... hey atleast im commenting on stuff instead of just not saying anything..... how many of you dont comment after youre done with your votes?!?

say dont they make pills for this problem?
cheers and sorry to all you people i couldnt vote for.... geez

Restraint, Shaman....just a little. all the good ones will still be there the next morning, along with other good ones. that's all Im saying.

i agree, and 9 times out of 10 i still have votes left over bud... i was just going crazy with all the good ones today..... and i was going to comment on yours as well... but now.. i feel that wouldnt be good enough... maybe i will tomorrow

I had the same thought showcase. Shaman can't help it. He's a helluva nice guy and sees the positive in everyone's work. The world needs more shamans. [end circle jerk]

Personally i've become a hard ass. I'll go through all the chops a couple times through the course of the first day. Only those that really impress me get a vote. Then I go back through on the last day to be sure that a really great late entry doesn't get neglected. More often than not the contest ends with me having votes left.

I do have to sya that I'm not with shaman (and many others) with regards to the disc toss chops. I'm not really enjoying that one. But, then again, I didn't enter so I can't complain too much.

thanks Tofu.. remember ive only been a member for 2months too, im still really green at all of this.
must have been the extra cups of coffee this morning then....

yeah yeah. coffee.
And if you dont want to comment on my image, fine by me.
I dont mind comments but Its votes I really want



I wasnt commenting on whether he is a nice guy or not but this is a point that should be addressed eventually...being positive on entries is a good thing but thinking you have to vote to be positive is somewhat of a warped approach...IMHO..

So being a newbie, Shaman, I will give you my 2 cents...
It IS a contest. You should consider that when you browse the entries and vote accordingly.

*edit: Sorry Shaman. I was editing while you were writing the comment below. I do like comments but I enter a contest for votes...thats all I was saying.

see personally i enjoy the comments as much as the votes... maybe casue im not nearly good enough to win one of these contests. yet....

but whatever and thanks for singling me out
seems i havent gotten any votes since youve mentioned this.... i guess ive learned not to comment on peoples stuff when im out of votes
cheers

If Sting were voting, he would still have 25 votes a week after the contest closed. That's all I'm saying.

is called 'votatio precox' in the medical world

ive already asked once... dont they make pills for this?!?


BTW this has really put a bad taste in my mouth... since apparently im the only one who blows their wad early

Don't worry about it!

yep, it's all in your head!

When I was YOUNG I would tend to BMWE (blow my wad early) - but as one matures and gets more gray hairs one tends to not BMWE any longer - one tends to enjoy long, slow, attentive voting sessions that can take hours and hours, totally wearing down the vote-receiver in a way that leaves them gasping for more votes.

Just thought you should all know that (WHIPPERSNAPPERS!!!!!)

I have dial up so i cant get on much.

(i guess i shouldnt be complaining we wouldnt have internet if my dads school didnt give it free)
