RULES OF THE GAME

Posting of a detail fragment of a work of art will take place sometime after 8:00 PM EST, five days a week (Sunday; Monday; Tuesday; Wednesday; Thursday. There are no IDs on Friday or Saturday)
Correct answers listed within 23.5 hours from posting at 8:00 pm are allotted points in the following manner:
First correct respondent receives 6 points
Second: 5 points
third: 4 points
fourth: 3 points
fifth: 2 points
Each respondent after that receives 2 point, whether the artist named is correct or not..
Incorrect responses will be awarded at least two points, but no higher than 3 points when there are correct respondents only to third place. (there is no penalty for guessing...actually encouraged).
The opportunity to accrue points can only happen within a maximum of 23.5 hours. Once the full photograph of the work of Art is elevated and the artist identified, no additional scoring (for that work can occur). (In other words, regardless of pleas, points will not be awarded for a comment/ID made any time after the posting) ( Also, 15 guesses does not generate 15 points...only 2 points )
A Favorite of the Identify image will also garnish 1 point if no comment is made within the first 24 hours. Points for favorites are not added to points for comments.
A summary of scores for the top five positions will be published each Sunday, at the beginning of each set of five photographs.
Caveats / Understanding:
Postings may be held up due to circumstances beyond my control.
Delays in posting may occur each evening. (sorry, no guarantee on 8:00 EST).
In addition, as most of you are aware, part of the clues for each identity is a “presence/absence” notation about whether the artist has been in a prior Identity Set. Because flickr’s new format doesn’t facilitate the reading of a long list of names in a “Set’s” overview/description, those lists are also available on request. If you send me an email address that can receive attachements, I will transmit an Windows based Excel sheet with the names of the artists and the number of their paintings/objects. ( Be sure to specify which format you would like: xlsx; xls; csv; txt – tab delimited – if you don’t specify the default is xlsx MS Office-10). ( non-windows participants should request txt).
Also, sorry for the bias the timing provides those in the Americas but no matter how I thought about it… I couldn’t come up with a plan to assist Europe and Asia.
