My scenery \'Amon Hen\' - 50 votes?!?!?

[DunErwit]

Hy everbody,

when I looked at my scenery \'Amon Hen\' (#109344) yesterday evening the last time, it had about 20 - 25 votes. That\'s what it got from date of post (30/12/05) until yesterday evening, and this amount of votes is - after all I experienced with my three former posts - ok for appr. 2-3 weeks.

Today, when checking where my rank was, I saw that it had 50!!! votes (and the rank went constantly down from 5.8 to 5.2).

I never saw something like this before - can anybody explain to me what happened ??? ? I\'m a bit surprised...

Thanks for helping me to understand this , and have a good sunday.

Regards,
DunErwit

Well, it probably just got voted on a lot And to be honest I suspect many people voted like I did, on the minis. The setting is nice but the minis need a LOT of improvement.

Ok - but 25 votes within <24hrs...? I did not even mention it in the shouts or anywhere else for days...
But ok... ok...
Hmmm
:]

Well, that\'s what I admitted already in the text.
Next \'version\' will be much better since I know now to apply techniques of which I was not aware 10 years ago.

Bye,

I actually experienced the same thing. My last one got 21 (from 29 to 50) votes in a couple of hours.. and lost a few points. But in my case it could have been due to it entering top7. Did anyone see if it was there?

Well another thing might be that the system accumulated the votes for a while, and then placed them all. Mine stood still on 29 votes for several days.. which was also a bit strange.

i have seen a lot more minis when i first log on in or around 50 votes not sure if these have been bumped up in viewing priority??? or something like that.

I wouldn\'t worry about it too much. Just post that new, better version and all will be well

(are you going to re-use these minis or use the new Games Workshop LOTR minis to recreate it?)

There seems to be a lot of voting in general over the last few days. I\'m judging that by the amount of comments that I am moderating over the pics. TONS of comments too. (that is a good thing!)

They changed the random browse thingy so that figs closer to 50 votes show up more frequently so they get to the magic number faster.
As to the large drop well to be honest for me I think it\'s about right sorry.

now, it\'s completely strange...!

Ok, now it has become completely strange:

As written, yesterday morning, I was at 50 votes and 5.2 . Yesterday evening, before leaving, I was at 55 votes - probably not at least due to my forum post

But now, I am \"back\" at 47 votes only and a rate of 5.5 ... !?!?!? ??? ??? ???

I have got the strange feeling, that there\'s something wrong with the system... (?)

The system does weed out snipers. If you had a few 1 votes it may have simply removed them.
