Also it seems as though some users in the club are real deadbeats (you know who I'm talking abt) so I've skipped rating their accounts to save some time.

It does seem that people are better at weekends, which I guess is unsurprising, so I think we will still be on to get the next three candidates up to 1000 by the end of Sunday

UPDATE MAY 2012: - Thanks all for getting the first members to platinum! The club is now under the control of a new host - downallthepower - so please message him to get an invite if you want to join. A much faster method of creating accounts can be seen in dernop's thread (one of our early members) here: Tutorial: How to speed up SEN(PSN) account creation (for boosting)

Good luck everyone!

Hey guys, I just wanted to stop in and give a little update to everyone. I really wanted to post up these numbers before I went to bed this morning, but then I fell asleep on the floor. But anyway, this is how things looked about 12 hours ago. adamsternik - 985 Nice! Should be done today (if not already ) Spin-Man - 888 Spendalot - 798 FolkoRoco - 782 ingo_666 - 732 Sephiroth__92 - 685 Shaolin_Lex - 355 nikoo32 - 382 Job_84 - 259 downallthepower - 144 Again, I'm sorry these aren't totally up-to-date. I plan on posting up the scores right after I put my votes in every night. I think it will keep us motivated to see how close people are getting.

Here's a little update on the numbers for you: adamsternik - 996 Spin-Man - 900 Spendalot - 813 FolkoRoco - 796 ingo_666 - 745 Sephiroth__92 - 710 nikoo32 - 392 Shaolin_Lex - 366 JoB_84 - 269 downallthepower - 157 I was glad to see nikoo32 and Spendalot in the comments! I hadn't seen you guys yet. Hi

(^Previous posts, up to a triple post here)

First of all, congrats to adamsternik on reaching platinum!
The rest of us saw a little movement:

Spin-Man - 917
Spendalot - 831
FolkoRoco - 815
ingo_666 - 763
Sephiroth__92 - 741
nikoo32 - 409
Shaolin_Lex - 383
JoB_84 - 286
downallthepower - 174

Sephiroth, I especially appreciate your consistency! It looks like most people went up about 17 ratings, so with my 10 and your 5 it seems like it's you and me buddy. Thank you to whoever else rated. Make sure to post in the club comments when you rate so we know you're still helping out and nobody stops rating you!

Well Ive been busy this weekend - At Peppa Pig World! But will be back on this in the week, only 185 ratings to go.

Are we still voting for everyone in the group, or have some members not been contributing and therefore worth skipping.

I have about 30 users ready, but could do with some more as the SEN Account Creator program doesnt seem to work for me!

[downallthepower]

Personally, I've been voting everybody every time. I might not get the favor returned, but it really only takes a few seconds to rate. For me the time saved is somewhat insignificant. But I definitely see how one would skip just based off of principle, and they would be right too. I suppose it's a matter of choice.

My hope is that people aren't skipping based on whether they get a comment in their personal profile as I haven't been doing that. It seems to me like a waste of time to comment on each individual person so I've just been leaving a comment in the club page saying "+10 on everyone" or something like that. It kind of looks like the other consistent raters are doing the same. It's sort of easy to see who is participating by just looking there.

As far as account creation is concerned, I've been sticking to the method dernop described in his tutorial. It probably isn't as fast as the program, but I'm still getting 10 accounts made in about 12 minutes.

Also... Folko, what the heck is Peppa Pig World??? Hehehe

[downallthepower]

Looks like things are starting to pick back up a bit!

Spin-Man - 934
Spendalot - 863
FolkoRoco - 832
ingo_666 - 789
Sephiroth__92 - 768
nikoo32 - 425
Shaolin_Lex - 396
JoB_84 - 315
downallthepower - 202

Thanks for rating guys! Remember to leave a comment on the club page when you rate so you don't get skipped unfairly.

I don't so I had to look it up. I'm sure you all had a great time

Actually, since you mentioned it, I didn't. At least, not as I expected.
Let me explain:

You can tell from the numbers from this compared to the previous update that, with a couple of exceptions, everybody went up by about 19 ratings. But with Folko's 11, Sephiroth's 5, and my 10, we should have gotten at least 26! And that doesn't even count anyone else who just didn't comment, or any random community rates.

Now, I'm pretty pretty sure I did the counts long after you guys rated so they should have been in before I counted. I did see my rates going in pretty quickly (It would update after every other new name I used) so I dunno what's going on with that.

The only things I can think of are that somebody accidentally reused old names, or maybe pushed instead of when putting in a rating. Maybe the Singstar servers take a really long time to update votes from different regions? You guys seen this before?

edit: I really don't want to seem nit-picky about a few ratings here and there. It's just that if somebody is rating incorrectly, the likelihood is that they are doing it every time. That would mean a lot of lost ratings for us and a lot of wasted time for them!
