Lowering to 5.0016?

Lowering to 5.0016? 2005-03-04 20:51:45


OK guys, here's a question - I got this earlier today while voting, and I have no idea what to make of that.

How can an entry have a score above 5? Am I missing something, or is this a Newgrounds problem of some kind?

I unfortunately don't know which submission this was anymore, but still, I figured I'd ask.

Either someone hacked NewGrounds to get a score above 5, or something is fucked up.

I expect it is because some high ranking voters voted five and had their votes boosted to an extra whatever percent. Their bonuses would bring an unnatural 120% or something to votes. *Columbo moonwalks out of the room*

That cant be it. Higher voting power is like voting many times, not vote with a higher number.

yup. hey do you play D&D? "unnatural 120"

Response to Lowering to 5.0016? 2005-03-04 21:02:34


that is impossible because the max is 5.00, i'm guessing you just photoshoped that image to get attention.

Egad, thats it, it has to be photoshopped because he diddn't put the flash name, cause if he did, we'd all check it.

The author slept with the admin team. Thats the only conclusion I can come to. Either that or an error.

You can't get more than 60% extra voting power. :) And no matter how much VP you have, you still can't raise an entry to above 5 when you can't actually give it more than a five.

As I said, I'm not sure. I took the screenshot at 14:23 newgrounds time, though, which at least narrows it down to a couple of movies that were under judgement then.

You guessed wrong, then.

It doesn't have a flash name because the flash name simply doesn't appear anywhere in the screen (at least while a flash is under judgement, which typically is the only time I'm voting on them). Anyhow, here's a non-cropped version of the screenshot. Happy now?

i cant even see that, and it still could of been photoshopped.

Since people were wondering about it - I think it's more or less safe to say that the submission in question was Runawayhand, by ZekeySpaceLizard. This one fits both the author (which can be seen in the uncropped screenshot) and the time I took this (14:23; that movie was submitted at 14:21).
