How did the number of entries increase from 404 to 406? Innocent

TF Carthick

Someone mentioned male and female entries on some other thread. If that is the case, then probably they are breeding and producing child entries. Possibly that is why Indiblogger delays results so much - ro give time for the entry population to grow.

@The Fool Hahahahhahah OMG I actually read the first few lines seriously before letting out a high pitched laugh that woke up our neighbor's dog XD

Hehehe, these posts had solitude in dark chamber this time, but my post was saint, so nobody can point any fingers towards it.

The increasing population will be a big headache for the judges. Tongue out

But kids will be kids, i hope some kid doesn't break the macbook

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

The macbook is surrounded on all sides by Renie, Vineet, Anoop, Nihal... so that kids don't get a chance to break it. Wink

Yes. On Closing date it was 404 and later increased to 407 and now showing it as 406? How could this happen? How entries were allowed after closing date and again how it decreased from 407 to 406? Whos is responsible and how this could happen?

Avadhoot

as far as  407->406: an invalid entry seems to be deleted.

Avadhoot

but i can see 407 right now Undecided

Ranjith

I think that the number on 'Random' tab gives the total number of entries received. The number on 'Popular' or 'Latest' tabs gives ( number of entries - deleted entries ). You can check for other contests also that the number on 'Random' tab is greater than the one on 'Popular' tab.

And you can verify that the number of entries shown on 'Popular' tab is correct by going to the last page of the entries list.

Cool

i read two of your posts esp shiva wala few days ago...its nice

Great dude

Sriram Raj

Just imagining what I will do if i was the judge.. Just a guess guys..

First Option: 408 posts. 30 Days. Around 14 posts per day. Little difficult to Judge because all days my mood will not be the same Smile

Second Option: Filter number of bloggers writing the entry. Guessing 200 (14 written by same means there will be more doing the same Wink).30 Days. 6 posts per day. Atleast can do 10 during good mood days.

Third Option: Increase Judges Panel and Ratings accordingly for each vote. Now finding the criterias is difficult. As Ranjith, TF and RDLS suggested, photos, keywords are second things for judgement. Content and Creativity is the key.

And always remember, my post, remember if you read it upside down even, it will be an acer, so if you become judge you know which one post can be given first prize without even reading a word.

TF Carthick
from Bangalore |

Sriram - They won't do all that. The people giving prizes have other main job. This is just a small campaign. It is not as important to them as it is to you. And publicity is key not content or creativity. Not like this is a school essay writing contest. 

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

You need 30 days! Surprised

I can do it in a day or two Laughing 

Nandini Deka
from Bombay |

i can do it in hours ...remember inky pinky  ponky? WinkTongue out  ( why am i getting this feeling that ranjith will now say he can do it in minutesSurprised )

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Because, doing Inky Pinky for 406 entries doesn't take more than a few minutes. Wink

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

... And of course, I can do it in seconds by awarding the Mac , one mobile and one smartwatch to my single entry and the remaining to my IB friends. Cool

Nandini Deka
from Bombay |

i can do in fraction of a second, just grab the macbook and run....Laughing

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Now, I don't want to say that I can do it in a nanosecond. Tongue out

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

But I would take just a nano second to declare myself winner of first prize.  Rest prizes will be placed in my home, and will be distributed on first come first served basis till stocks last. Any objections. 

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Expect a huge crowd and be prepared with tea and snacks. Wink

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

I thought Ranjith, you would say" keep all of them"

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

What will you do by keeping all of them - can you wear ten smart watches and talk on three mobiles at a time? Wink

RioZee

I can flaunt them dude

Guys Guess what someone has written me a weird comment as a response to my Post.... I hated his words so removed it... (apology dear reader, your language was too bad).... but i am happy to make some one feel so bad with my post on this contest... intention was achieved....

I wish we have as many entries for the 'Ring the Bell' initiative as well. Comparing the discussion on that forum and then looking at this one, I have little hope.

Cmon guys, write SOMETHING!! 2 days to go! (Im posting here coz I guess there is a better chance of people reading this forum than Ring the Bell one.)

TF Carthick

Frankly, not everyone can write on these kind of sensitive topics. See the random product sponsored topics, you can play around and have fun and give full flow to your creativity. But specicific social topics you can not deal with it lightly for the fear of undermining the cause instead of supporting. And many of these topics, there is often nothing new to say. The solution is there - you need awareness and people on the ground to implement - not really anything radically new for a blogger to say. And if you try to use too creative forms of expression, as I said earlier we may take away from the dignity of the topic.  So in my opinion make more sense to share links supporting cause on facebook and twitter and maybe on the side bar of the blog.

Cant thank indibloggers enough for makin, so many to come out and pour out there thoughts into it. Good jog for the mind........ :P . This was one hard topic for me, never workedd hard for a topic, (have to say greed kept me focused)... Happy to have participated, after all its not that bad loosin out to good competitors...... cheers to all..

Nisha
from Lucknow |

@TF ..While I agree with what you are saying, we all have seen in the past people writing a 4-line post when there was a 'prize' for every valid entry.

I am not saying that it is the right approach. But it wouldn't harm if bloggers would even post useful  links and ideas from the WWW as an entry for this particular contest. Anyway...

guys, 

any idea how much gift tax they are going to levy on this one ? I had recently won a Samsung Galaxy S4 for the Samsung Galaxy Obsession competition, and they levied 8.5K for it !! :( .. its close to 30%. I hope there is no tax for this one. 

DS
from Mumbai |

Indiblogger pays the tax so that the winner can enjoy the full prize. I think I am right, this was the case before.

Guys, by when can we expect the results? Smile

See the contest page. By 10th June '13.

SHETTY K.V.

I think result is to be announced by the 10th July'13. Not 10 June'13?

Ranjith

Hope that such dates are used for a future contest when IB buys a time machine. Tongue out

DS

Haha... My bad, indeed. Its July obviously.

For a month, forget that you have submitted your post for this contest and you can avoid the long wait. Cool

Someone has rightly said, Expectation is the root cause of all unhappiness...

Ranjith

Soon IndiBlogger will turn into a philosophy forum. TF talked about moh-maya and now you.

Anyway, liked your sentence and it is really true.  Smile

To all contest participants - Don't expect prizes. Keep participating. One day, when you discover that you won something without repeatedly refreshing the contest page, your happiness knows no bounds. Believe me! Cool

TF Carthick
from Bangalore |

Yeah - all these mundane gifts which Indiblogger gives are perishable like your mortal existense. True gifts can only be found inside yourselves. Renounce all these contests and start looking for those true gifts that are eternal.

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

I hope that I won't get lost [ again ] in thoughts of life and death. I experienced it for almost a week when I was just 14 years old. Frown

Nandini Deka

i think opposite way...enjoy all material gifts as much as you can before u perish and become ghostsLaughing

Yo nandini,  fool has become saint now, and all material is immaterial to him.
