I have a question

[sr71plt]

I called his bluff for my own satisfaction, knowing that somewhere in the back of his head he knows beyond any shadow of a doubt that he's lying through his teeth every time he types it.

Absolutely right. That gives me a buzz too when certain posters around here attack me on my background when they have every means to verify it. It gives me a kick that both I and they know they are lying through their teeth just to be nasty.

 

[sr71plt]

There's no mystery why your stories are downvoted, Freddie. (And try to remember that I agreed with you at the get go that voters were stripping you of your Hs on the basis of your posting personality alone.) It's because you have a history of being such a pissant abuser on the forum. And it's no secret that you've been told this over and over and over again. I can only repeat that you aren't going to get out from underneath this until/unless you create a new story (probably story only) persona that isn't such a jerk on the forums. (Maybe you have; but not this time--again. For the alts that have been unmasked--and you're lying when you post that you unmasked them yourself--it takes all of three posts for the true jerk of a Freddie to shine through.)

And as far as declaring your stories as better than others, this just invites voters to reach for the "1" button. I've only read one piece of yours (the one where you beg folks to vote you up the "favorite author" list) and I gave it a 5, so you may be a terrific writer for all I know. But you lead with all twelve of your chins and then you are dumb enough to be surprised when voters give you an uppercut.

And, yes, I know you are sitting there with fingers in your ears, repeating "I can't hear you." That too is the posting personality of Freddie.

And why have TxRad and Dark won a few times (not astronomically, but often enough, expecially TxRad)? Because they been entering forever and they are popular on the forum with those who follow the contests--and then mount ratings and votes enough to attract the casual readers of contest material. I've never said that the contests are based on the superlative quality of the stories themselves. Why regulars habitually are either winners/high raters or losers/low raters in the contests here isn't that much of a mystery. It's largely a popularity/unpopularity contest.

And I trust that another contributing factor when readers do click on their stories is that they get a good story. For all I know they might get a good story if they'd click on your stories as well, but by the time casual readers are shopping, yours have been ditched already (as happens to mine too) because of those habitually downvoting them because of your posting personality. And then there's the titles/blurbs you chose. Most of them reveal the chip you've got on your shoulder and that you are going to make fun of anybody and everybody, including the reader.

for the fortieth time, if you want your stories to be taken seriously, you have to totally separate them from your posting personality, because your posting personality is that of insufferable, whiny, memememe loonytunes. And you gather new enemies with each thread like this that you post.

Let's say about 100 entries average per contest, even though that's probably high.

Even in a completely random draw, that's a 1 in 100 chance.

Feel free to explain how that's an astronomical hurdle to surmount, Freddie. It's always somewhat sadly amusing to watch you blow smoke and throw flack to explain your outrageous claims.

Ah, I'm glad you asked. Let's begin, shall we?

Extrapolate and multiple the number of contests by the number of stories submitted. I see that you only counted the theme contests and not the monthly contests, too, contests that you and TxRad have won, placed, and showed.

With that in mind, if you took most of the stories posted on Literotica, being that all stories, whether entered or not in a contest, unless a theme contest, are eligible to win a monthly contest, your chance of winning, placing, and/or showing multiple times in the course of a year, two years, three years, etc., is indeed not only astronomical but virtually impossible. It would take a mathematician to declare, by use of a blackboard, that you and Tx winning all of those contests is not only unrealistic but further prove that you two somehow cheated.

Shame on you for cheating the rest of us. Shame on you. With the rest of we other writers hoping to win a contest, you, Tx, and a small select few of your insider friends, take turns winning Literotica contests, month after month, and year after year. I don't know if you win all on your own of if there's some internal collusion with Literotica. I can only speculate a guess. I have no idea, but what I do know is that it's wrong.

We only need to look at your pages and various names to see all the contests that you've both have won. Apparently, you must think that we are as stupid as you are.

Have a wonderful afternoon. Thank you for allowing to make you look like the cheating asshole that you are.

 

[sr71plt]

I think that makes my points very well. I think it's a wasted effort to even respond to Freddie on these issues. He floats off there in Lalaland.

 

[Darkniciad]

Each contest is self-contained, Freddie dear. Your odds of winning a door prize at the company picnic have nothing to do with the odds of winning the lottery.

Oh, and by the way, you just reminded me that I'd given the widest possible margin. There are actually three winning places in each themed contest.

So, now we're to 3 in 100 or 1 in 33.33 completely random chance of winning a themed contest.

But wait! Let's stop averaging and look at some real numbers.

57 Entries in the 2009 Earth Day contest. 3 in 57 = 1 in 19.

62 Entries in the 2010 Earth Day contest. 3 in 62 = 1 in 20.66

73 Entries in the 2011 Earth Day contest. 3 in 73 = 1 in 24.33

So, in the contests where I actually placed, I had about a 1 in 20 chance average.

That's about the same odds as winning a free soda when you look under a bottle cap, and I believe that would be classified as something less than "astronomical" to most ( rational ) people.

And one monthly contest win out of 178 submissions over the course of six years.

Let us assume that there are 70 stories approved per day. 70*30 = 2100. We also have three placing positions, so 3 in 2100 or 1 in 700.

Quite the longer shot, but I think you'll find it rather difficult to locate anyone ( rational ) who would classify it as "astronomical".

And, of course, this is entirely dependant upon nothing more than pure, blind chance. It assumes that every author and every story is equal, when I'm quite sure everyone would agree that such is hardly the case.

So, your next smokescreen, Freddie? Or are you just going to revert to your standard profanity-laden rant about how you're only here to write and you don't bash anybody and blah, blah, blah...

Thank you for trying to clarify and quantify the odds by using what you leanred in grammar school math. However, I went a step further. I consulted with a friend, who teachers mathematics at thre pretigious Massachusetts of Technology, MIT., in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He consulted on the movie, Good Will Hunting.

He told me, by use of a blackboard, that for you and TxRad to win, place, and/or show on so very many contests, when there are so very many contest entries is akin to you being struck by lightning on five consequetive days at the exact same time, while holding a winning lottery ticket.

"Fuck me! Gees, you guys are lucky bastards."

Now, I know your math appears very convincing, but I'm gonna put my money on the MIT professor, no offense.

Also, for demonstration sake, he said for you and TxRad to win, place and/or show in so very many contests, when there are so very many contest entires, are you ready for this? Wow! This guy is a fucking genius.

Anyway, he said for you to win so many contests, when there are so many contest entries, keeping in mind that there's no gravity, which there is, of course, and it doesn't burn up in the atmosphere, which it will, of course, is like throwing a dart from the moon and hitting a bulls-eye in a bar in Ireland.

"Oh, my God! Fuck me! Good fucking shot. Good fucking shot."

Wow! All that I can say, Dark, is that I was wrong and you were right. Hey, I'm big enough to it admit myself. You and TxRad are just lucky bastards, lucky bastards. For you and TxRad to be struck by lightning on five consequetive days at the same exact time, while holding a winning lottery ticket, akin to throwing a dart from the moon to hit a bulls-eye in a bar in Ireland, I apologize.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry to have called you cheating assholess. Please forgive me."

Keep up the cheating, sorry, I mean, the winning. A premature congratulations on your Nude Day contest win.

Your mother must be so proud.

 

[sr71plt]

I imagine that's the same dude who sent you the $5,000 check anonymously for not winning the Survivor's Contest a few years back.

 

[SusanJillParker]

I imagine that's the same dude who sent you the $5,000 check anonymously for not winning the Survivor's Contest a few years back.

Truly, I'm sorry that, obviously, you're still jealous. I don't lie.

When I was writing my Paprazzi stories in 2007, under my BostonFictionWriter name, a fan, I imagine a celebrity, being that I was writing those celebrity stories, disappointed that I was cheated out of winning the Suvivor contest sent me a check for $5,000 with a note that read, "You should have won Suvivor."

I thought it was a phony and was shocked to find that it was real. Since then, many fans have awarded me cash prizes. Many fans have asked me to write them custom stories for payment. Yes, I'm doing quite well, while running a little cottage writing business, in the way that you earn money with your e-Books.

Only, jealousy doesn't become you, my friend. It makes you look small and petty, when you're much bigger than that. Just wish me good luck, as I wish you.

Of course, no matter our wishes, we'd never have the luck that Dark and TxRad has. My God. To be struck by lightning on five consecutive days at the same exact time, while holding a winning lottery ticket is just as unbelievable as throwing a dart from the moon and hitting a bulls-eye in a bar in Ireland.

Only, more unbelievably, you are more ready to believe that Dark and TxRad aren't cheating over me being awarded a $5,000 annonymous gift. Go figure.

 

[lovecraft68]

You know, Freddie, you should hop off the Dark/Tx bandwagon.

If you look further and want to play conspiracy games there are a couple of numbers in this contest that are much more interesting (and telling) if one wanted to make a case for conspiracies.

Moi?

I apologized. What more do you want from me. Obviously, they both are just lucky bastards. There's no conspiracy here, just luck.

You know what I want from you? When I said I was leaving you sent me $10 but it was monopoly money!

You said you got all these people sending you cash and you pay me in scourian royalties!

By the way, Lovecraft, your two face is showing.

You can't PM me one day to tell me that I'm right about the crocked contests and about Dark and then tell me to knock it off the next.

Just pick a side to hitch your wagon and stay there. Moreover, please don't PM me again. I'm done with you.

I'm a writer who shoots straight. I call them the way that I see them. I know that a lot of other writers agree with me about these so called writing contests. I receive PM's and e-mails routinely, yet, no one, no one, ever, never comes forward but me.

That's okay. I can take the heat. Besides, I have notihing to lose, where the rest of you dopes really believe that you have a chance at winning a writing contest around here.

Good luck to you. You'd have a better chance of hitting a bulls-eye from the moon.

 

[sr71plt]

Sorry, Freddie, I'm laughing too hard about your $5,000 anonymous check tale to be jealous of anything you're doing.

 

[Str8tJacket]

Miss SJP,

You have a sharp tongue, quick wit and profound sense of humor, perhaps twisted might be a better word for one of the above or all.

I love it, Thank you for keeping the sardines at bay.

SJ

 

[YoursSINSerely]

Can someone explain why all of my votes for Freddie's contest entries get erased?

I used to go into the stories every day to read the comments that people leave behind and to see how many views a story has had. That's when I noticed my vote from the day before had been erased, and usually there had been a sweep by the hoover going on. I would vote again and hoped that it would still be there the next day, but it never was. I've given up!

"Somebody" tweaks the numbers and I do believe they target a few popular authors. I still don't understand how you can compare a story with 500,000 views with one that only has a 1,000 and the story with the lower readership wins a contest. There seems to be more to the awarding process than just the reader's votes.

 

[Darkniciad]

You just answered your own question. You're multi-voting -- one of the two only known, stated criteria that will get your vote swept.

Whatever the reason for the first swept vote, each subsequent re-vote flagged you as a problem voter in the eyes of the script.

 

[sr71plt]

And just maybe you're using the same IP address that Freddie does.

That would get it swept too.

 

[Darkniciad]

And Freddie answered my question by pulling a two-fer! A profanity-laced rant coupled with a smokescreen of a fictitious MIT professor.

Nevertheless, the very simple numbers presented fly directly in the face of his "astronomical" and "struck by lightning five times" claims, which he will naturally just keep putting forward regardless of how laughable they are in the face of black and white reality.

"Tell a lie often enough and it becomes true" doesn't work so well when you're a uber-rich former accountant philanthropist man one day and suddenly a middle-aged homeless woman the next, Freddie

 

[sr71plt]

And Freddie answered my question by pulling a two-fer! A profanity-laced rant coupled with a smokescreen of a fictitious MIT professor.

No, no. I'm convinced that that self-same fictitious MIT professor sent him that $5,000 check anonymously to comfort him over losing a Literotica Survivor's Contest. The logic of that just cannot be questioned.

 

[SusanJillParker]

Whatever you all think of me, I am the most prolific writer on the site.

With more than 1,000 stories, 100 poems, and 7 million words that have garnered more than 100 million hits, I am AndTheEnd, BostonFictionWriter, CarBuffStuff, PositiveThinker, SuperHeroRalph, SusanJillParker, and WmForrester.

...and that is why your panties are in a bunch. Even with your phony writing contest wins, fake red H's, and tens of thousands of 24/7 forum board posts, when the smoke clears, you can't compete with me.

I'm a writer and you are not.

 

[sr71plt]

Yeah, we've read your mantra. Over and over and over and over again. Tags you as loonybins each and every time.

And, again, it also explains your basement ratings.

(I rather think that SamuelX is the most prolific writer on this site, by the way. He just doesn't rant about it like you do.)

 

[Darkniciad]

And no matter how many times you scream your own accolades from the rooftops, I'm still going to be perfectly happy with my numbers, my skills, and the following I've developed through years of producing the stories I want to write.

The fundamental problem you and scouries have in trying to throw flak at me is your inability to comprehend that everyone isn't as much of a needy egomaniac as you are.

 

[YoursSINSerely]

You just answered your own question. You're multi-voting -- one of the two only known, stated criteria that will get your vote swept.

Whatever the reason for the first swept vote, each subsequent re-vote flagged you as a problem voter in the eyes of the script.

That doesn't explain why my first vote was removed. If my star was still yellow the second time I went in, I wouldn't have been able to vote again. I only vote a second or third time, because the system lets me do it. I'm sick and tired of my vote being swept away. And, somebody else said something about my IP address being the same as Freddie's. It isn't. We don't live together. LOL I'm east of the river and he is west of it. The only IP address I have is the one at my house. I don't even work. I have no access to any other computer but the one sitting on my white coffee table in the middle of my living room. I'm tired of being a suspected alt. I am not. There's so many people here that know I'm a real person. I guess the word hasn't gotten to the one's who tweek the system during the contests. Perhaps you can forward this to the ones in the know.

No, no. I'm convinced that that self-same fictitious MIT professor sent him that $5,000 check anonymously to comfort him over losing a Literotica Survivor's Contest. The logic of that just cannot be questioned.

He really does know the MIT professor. I just never knew he was a mathmetician. I thought he was a drama coach, hence his response to having a target in a drunkin Irish pub. I've known Freddie since 2008. I've never known him to tell a lie. He's had a very unique life so far and needs to tell his story. I should be so lucky.

http://www.literotica.com/s/who-is-the-writer-susanjillparker

This year, for 2012, I decided to write under my real name, Susan Jill Parker. Many of my readers, especially, when I wrote under my names, BostonFictionWriter, CarBuffStuff, and PositiveThinker thought that I was a man. I'm not a man. I'm all woman.

As I said, nobody knows why your first vote was swept. If it was a contest story or the month it was published was being tallied for the montlies, those are notorious for deep-cutting sweeps, and there's a fair case to be made that perfectly legitimate votes get tossed out with the trolls and cheerleaders, most likely because it digs back deeper into the IP trying to catch people with dynamic IPs multi-voting.

However, your continuing to re-vote the same story multiple times is still a multi-vote, and a stated, known reason for votes being removed.

 

[sr71plt]

I think Dark did answer your question. Evidence is that, like automatically sweeping all votes from the same ISP as the author's (no, that isn't fair to spouses), the system identifies what it considers "problem" voters for each author account--voters who vote a lot on that author's work and habitually vote either a 5 or a 1--and automatically sweeps those--every time; forever. (That's sort of hamfisted too, but I think it's what the sweep system is doing.)

At one time you could tell your vote was swept because the yellow stars went off. I think probably the website has wised up since then and they just freeze the vote (and sweep it) so that you can't come back and vote again (and make them find it in the next sweep).

No matter what the reason, if it's happening to you, it's happening. And it's the vote sweeping system, not Darkniaid that's doing it.

Feddie lies left and right on the forum--outrageously, over the top. It's probably his primary posting characteristic and probably what gives him away the quickest when he moves to a new alt (and denies the connection to him right up to and a bit beyond being outed, at which time he embraces it.). So you can put your "he never lies" where the sun don't shine, hon, because that dog don't bark.
