Rankings Jan 1-9

Hi everyone!

It's been a great first week (plus two days). Remember, slow and steady -- this is a marathon, not a race. Take breaks, drink plenty of water, and stand up and stretch periodically. You can do it!

First of all, Total% ... what have we done together, in this short span of time?
69 people have made a total of 35842 IDs!

If you are one of the top 4 in this category, you win the right to tag me (trh_blue) as many times as you want in the next 24 hours and I won't complain. Congrats.

I am still working on up-to-date trackers.

And now, the grand reveal... what is Mystery% this week??
Most withdrawn IDs
It's part of the learning process. I'm proud of you!

3rd @oxalismtp, 32
4th @alex_abair, 31

And to all of you, thank you for taking part! Seven more weeks to go!

The hint for next week's Mystery% is:
the beetles

Question for all of you: do you think mystery% should also have prizes?

Woohoo congratulations to all the winners! Those are some impressive statistics! That’s an average of around 500 IDs each!
And the prize is amazing 😉
I love the mystery category too. Great idea!
And I hope you’re feeling better now, Blue! Cuddles with a cat helps almost any illness, I’ve found.

there will be more stuff and stats next week, I had to pare this down to get it out the door. I'm feeling partially better, by tomorrow I should be well again.
the prizes are different each week. although, I think if we see the same people winning too many in a row I may give prizes to the next rank down or something.
any way, congrats all, we're doing great!

Also yes, mystery categories should absolutely have prizes! I am happy to offer my services writing a terrible (I’m not being modest here, it will not be winning any literary awards) limerick in honour of the winner next week.

I really want to thank you for putting this together blue and the rest of the team for their work, I've been enjoying IDing for something more satisfying than seeing 201k observations go down to 200k (or how it sometimes feels going "down" to 202k).

I went to the unknown seminar on discord, even though I was not sure how valuable it would be for me. There was great tips and I'm glad I went. Unfortunately I'm going to confuse people now when I refer to spiders as AW from now on.

Knowing I'm providing a little sense of joy and community is more than enough for me. And by getting y'all to ID Unknowns it feels like I'm getting someone to do my homework for me 😂
Anyone who has a guess as to what next week's mystery% is send me a dm -- one guess each!! --first correct guess gets a prize (one bad limerick from Lisa)

Thanks for the motivation to ID more & go back to older observations.

Wow, I wouldn’t have guessed I would manage to come in fourth in improve%! Congrats to this week’s other winners, and good job everyone on over 35,000 IDs this week!

Publicado por troisha hace alrededor de 3 años

Thank you for putting this together @trh_blue! I was sort of hoping to be in the top 25%, never imagined I'd come first! And good job to everyone else too: making this site better is a team effort

Publicado por natashataylor hace alrededor de 3 años

Blue, First off, let me say Thank You to you and the team, for all you have done and are doing to make this happen. As a novice I am happy to help out and be a part of the ID-a-thon. As for prizes - I'm "playing for Pride not Prize :-)
