maybe because those people didn't like it..... just a possibility....

Kuoke 2009-01-02 23:26:38

It happens.
A majority of the time, when a flash is under judgement, people vote 4's, 5's and 0's. After it's out, is usually the 're-correction' stage, where people go 'Hey, this doesn't deserve x score, I should vote 0 to lower it staggeringly' - and vice versa.

Also, after 200 votes, 1 vote is worth 0.XX from a high level user so who knows.

when a movie is fresh to the portal, the votes tend to have a HUGE influence on it's score since it has hardly any votes to define a stable average. a lot of flashes tend to go under the radar because of this, but yeah after getting out of judgment your score will either be over scored or underrated, yours was obviously over scored during judgment and has settled to an average based on user votes later on.

Once out of judgement, your blue scoring movie attracts more viewers.. Usually these viewers are people who submitted movies of their own on the same day and want to have a leg up in the competition.

Also it could just be more people watched and realized it wasn't deserving of such a high score.

SolarCrave 2009-01-03 00:16:46

There's a lot of people who just down vote just for the hell of it. It happens to even the best videos. If there weren't any down voters, the scores would be much much higher.

Ha, .23 isn't that bad compared this one I made for a crew, it dropped from 4.00 to 3.4 in about 30 minutes.There weren't that many votes from when it came out of the portal at around a 4.00, so that meant that everyone who voted was blamming it. Although I don't believe it deserved a 4, and was voted down to correct it like the guys above me said, I don't believe it should have been so harshly attacked to a mere 3.4

Some people have submitted a flash then, maybe worse than yours, but they really want that award you took from them >:( they get all their friend and downvote yours so they can get ahead. Thats what i think.

rtil 2009-01-03 01:04:24

put mario and sonic in it next time

then we won't have to hear you bitch about shit no one cares about !

Luis 2009-01-03 01:51:01

its fairly normal, when under judgment more people are interested in blam/save points and then youll have the reality check score... well NG reality.. some of it is luck, like if you bump heads with some other well known, its possible their fanbase is so strong that they will find youre 'good' score threatening... its kind of an annoying side effect of ng but one that exists and we as artists learn to live with. i wouldnt take it personally.

More proof that rtil is just a stupid jerk that spends all his time on Newgrounds. It's pretty ironic calling people names for 'bitching' when you (rtil), did it as well at one point.

Perry 2009-01-03 02:56:13

its new out of the portal, so obviously each rating weighs it down more. Like Iv had games go from 3.8 to 3.2 though they really didnt deserve a 3.8 in the first place but meh it happens.

Zefir009 2009-01-03 05:44:31

Hmm. Perhaps voting should be disabled if you submitted your submission that day and the submission you wanted to vote on was also submitted the same day... That'd prolly solve the problem of downvoting rivals.

Coolio-Niato 2009-01-03 10:08:42

Um.. if you do the math, its really not that much. Considering 37 people is 16% of the entire population that voted, if ALL of them voted an average of 3 (or all of them did vote 3 lets say), then the 3.93 would drop to a 3.701 considering each person has the same equal vote.

Srsly, this is nothing to complain about.

wam-bo 2009-01-03 12:11:54

yea when you have a high level your votes are worth more than one vote! so maybe they were just high level people!

Kyothine 2009-01-03 12:31:17

I don't know. The scores in 2008 are more easily swayed for some reason. Voting 5 on one of my old 200-vote flashes doesn't do anything, yet voting 5 on a 2008 200-vote flash does.

Starogre 2009-01-03 13:28:31

duh that's why people submit right before midnight, so their score is really high when it comes out of judgement. they grab a daily, and bam!

littlefoot's score coming out of judgement was like 4.8...you really think it's gonna stay there?

people nowadays don't vote on the score they think it deserves, lots of people vote 0 or 5 to lower or raise the score to what they think it deserves. its how newgrounds has always been, when your submission is far past being underjudgement after making it to the portal, thats it's real score. front page is a whole 'nother story

C-Doodlez-Man 2009-01-03 15:27:09

yeah I see things like this, even for myself. and also on the frontpage. Remeber World Conqueror The Game? That dropped from a 4.73 to like a 4.30 after it was removed from the frontpage.

Reyals 2009-01-03 16:47:33

I've had movies of mine pass at 3.8 drop down to around 3.4 or lower. If people don't agree with the score usually they vote whatever will bring it down to the score they think it should have, as opposed to just voting whatever that may be in the first place.

Mich 2009-01-03 18:32:50

you should check the audio portal -_-

Dragonultralord21 2009-01-04 03:55:14

That sucks really bad. I think its funny, and i like the deleted scenes. their funny and cant wait for the 4 pack to come out
