Re: Poll skew for my brother's dog
Major bump here. There are some infiltrators with less than 25 votes that are taking over- vote early and vote often!

Re: Poll skew for my brother's dog
When does this dang vote end?! Voting "1" once knocked him down ".3", so we only need a few people to get Hobart back in the lead. Let's do it!

Re: Poll skew for my brother's dog
I have just casteth my vote for Hobart, who indeed is an awesome dog, as is Walter. I challenge anyone in Atlanta to find a better dynamic K9 duo in Atlanta.

Re: Poll skew for my brother's dog
Thanks, Sue! I did my part - a 10 for Hobart, and a 1 for the dog ahead of him. They're now tied at 6.8. Go vote, all!Sue71 wrote:Major bump here. There are some infiltrators with less than 25 votes that are taking over- vote early and vote often!

Re: Poll skew for my brother's dog
We knocked off the one dog, but now there's a big sheep dog that's new. He's at a "7.0" after I hit him with a "1", but we need to hit him a few more times.

Re: Poll skew for my brother's dog
Is it good sportsmanship to give the opponent a 1 just to put the dog you're voting for ahead?
Sorry, Wilson's brother, I'll vote a 10 for Hobart, but can't bring myself to vote a 1 for his opponents.

Re: Poll skew for my brother's dog
That's different. But to vote a 1 on the opponent just to move your candidate ahead, not sure that is good sportsmanship.Sue71 wrote:I can, if they're ugly dogs.TillyGalore wrote:Is it good sportsmanship to give the opponent a 1 just to put the dog you're voting for ahead?

Re: Poll skew for my brother's dog
BTTT - just to get Vick of the front page for some of you.
What's the status on the contest? I could still vote today. Will they ever have a winner? How is Hobart, anyway?

When is Walter going to be submitted? When are they choosing a winner? Seems it's been more than a month...

Re: Poll skew for my brother's dog
Walter's getting submitted sometime this fall, after I can get back to Atlanta and carve out the time to do it.
As for Hobart, he's in print in Atlanta Mag right now, and he looks smashing. He is also doing well in real life, from what I understand.
The online "contest," it seems, is a bit of a misnomer...from what I can gather, it's just sort of a perpetual gallery with voting, and no end in sight or winner declared.
