Still need my ogrin to place
Sat Jan 14, 2006 12:37 am
It did not make it this week but maybe it will next week. It's up to you or whoever browses this forum.
I'm having trouble getting him to place.
1. right now the neoboards are out of limit, both because of time restraints and an unreliable connection.
2. Because of reason 1 I am unable to fully enjoy being on the net here or anywhere else.
Link to vote is in my sig. Same entry as before.

Thanks. There is a reason 3 for not being able to advertise and that is having to do other work around the house. If I get on the neoboards I won't leave, which makes certain people around me very grumpy. 
To reduce that, I have to force myself to stay away. Maybe when mom's "Cleaning Crusade" is over, maybe I can get back on longer without having to feel guilty. She moved back in and has decided to attack all the clutter and free up space by dumping out loads of stuff.
Whether its real life or my connection keeping me off atm, I added a new bit to queenhoneyvel's look-up. It basically advises people to bookmark or favorite the look-up because I'm planning to enter on a weekly basis and whatever entries that are entered will be linked in the look-up.
I plan to do the same with my main account, only right now I'm irked about having to log in every time I have to restart the computer. (sometimes the connection won't work unless I do)

Voted too.
I'm picking up again on Neopets, hopefully also on the beauty contest and pictures.

I still can't believe you haven't placed yet. I already spent my Ogrin vote this week (sorry 
), but if you're in next week's contest, I'd like to vote for ImNothatBad.
Edit: Oh, I guess I didn't cast my Ogrin vote.

Thanks for your efforts everyone.
Still didn't make it.
5th place. Well better than 6th which I got the last two weeks. He's still in so we can try again.

Butterflyhornet, I didn't realise you could enter the same pic twice. (Not as a critic, just a realisation. 
) Good luck this time. I ended 8th of the pteris last week, sigh.
_slight edit_ I wonder if it makes a difference if I were to post on the neoboards. I normally avoid them.

Usually the neoboards do make a difference, but for me at least comparing last week (zero advertising) with the other two weeks (advertising one or two days only) was only a loss of 10 votes. The 40 some votes I got this week had to be from here or perhaps from whoever saw my art gallery entry and hit my look-up from there.
I'm trying neoitems this week. I've sadly neglected that forum. I used to grab about 30-50 voites there; about the same number of votes I get if I advertise here.
I also got votes from neocolours when that forum is open. One time I did have a link to their new forum, but I lost the link. I am registered there if they haven't moved yet again.
If I could advertise there as well I can grab about 100-130 votes from this forum, neoitems, and neocolours.
The weeks in the past when I used to advertise obsessivly along with posting in the neopets fan forums I mentioned, I could grab well over 200 or even 300 votes if I was extrememly lucky.
Lets say I went on the BD chat and someone like herobi (sorry I forgot how to spell her name) or another all time famous person chatting, I'd just sort of tag along and try to follow along with their conversation, and just casually drop my link in my sig or mention the BC casually. I could gather some votes.
I think it also has to do with species. When I used to enter in ruki and buzz on a regular basis I would get more votes. I think it may have to do with there being less entries in the species, so there may be more followers, or perhaps even my very competitors voting for me on weeks they are not entered. It would seem reasonable, because I do the same with a lot of my other ruki and buzz competition. (I may be snappy at them when I'm entered, but when I'm not, then I'll support them) On rare occasions I get competitors that vote for me even when they *are* entered which seems kind of odd to me.
I suspect that' more likely to happen in species where there are fiewer pages to browse. The more pages to browse, the fewer votes per entry. That would explain why ogrin is so tough lately. It's like trying to enter in Gelert and Lupe. Both of those species always have a lot of entries.
I think it's safe to say that not being in the neoboards *does* hurt your vote tally, but if you can find alternative places, in some species you can pull it off.
