LittleWaySoul Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 ...are all neck and neck in the prop ranking this week. @Nihil Obstat and @Peace switched places within the last hour or so. This is almost as intense a race as the election this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I only pay attention to lifetime totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I intend to milk those props to the max when I can announce that my wife is expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriela Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I don't pay attention at all. I hadn't noticed. I just saw my name in the highlighted thread above all the phorums and thought, "Oh, great. I'm in trouble now." Honestly, when I think those props probably came mostly or entirely from a bitter argument over abortion, I'd rather not have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope she'll come back for the saint of the year drawing at Christmastime. But I think she's tired of that. We need someone else to do it... Everyone likes it so much.

Fra Angelico this year! How extensive is its database of saints? Maybe we could use it instead of drawing paper out of a fish bowl to draw saints for pham this year? That way it's still personal for most people, and nobody knows we're using a website! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I called you "dear" and "phamily". Prop me. Put me in the list. Let's make Jack propped by everyone. Yes, we can!) ROFL My carefully-compiled statistics indicate that there are two reliable ways to receive many props from me. The most reliable way is to know me in real life. That gives a >50% chance that I will prop any given post of yours. The next most reliable way is to be quite traditionalist without being obnoxious. Compare Bernard Fellay with Richard Williamson, or Michael Davies with Michael Voris. That will give you ~10% chance that any given post will be propped. I do not yet have enough data points to draw reliable conclusions, but I highly suspect, ceteris paribus, that posting pictures and gifs from anime I like, or images of what I consider the most beautiful art every produced (i.e. academic art) will elicit props on 30-60% of posts which fall into that category.
