The last contest I participated in was a "guess the grade on this low and/or mid grade Golden Age book" with at least half of the books falling in this category. I commented on it during the contest asking why it was so heavily skewed towards this although there are plenty of other ages and grade ranges that were not well represented. I was naturally told to shut it so I did. As I have no interest in guessing the grade on low/mid GA, I'm choosing not to participate in future contests. I know I will get skewered for this post and debated on whether to even bother posting it but since the recruitment is being brought up in multiple threads, I thought I'd give you my perspective on why participation may be lower than usual.

That's OK LordRahl. A few of us thought the Terry's All Gold mid-grade edition wasn't the best idea, and fed that back. We'll have to see if the Powers That Be have taken note. I'd never graded a gold in my life as it turned out but I didn't do too badly in the end. You make a reasonable point, but it's still a great chance at winning a decent prize whichever way you look at it and hopefully we all have a bit of a laugh along the way. If you change your mind, I'm the first in line, but there still are 57 places left behind me :)

I concur with the prior frustration of seeing round after round of low/mid grade GA.

I just hope we don't slingshot into round after round of 2015-present books all with between 1 and 4 spine ticks.... and still be off by 3pts/book! xD

:whistle:

Whoever said advertising works was lying Archer. The eyes of the entire forum are on that thread and yet we barely picked up 2 additional participants...
