Does it ever happen?

[scheherazade_79]

Out of curiosity, can the score for a story change without gaining or losing any votes?

Are there any documented cases of this happening?

Are there any reasons why it could happen?

Discuss.

Yes and No.

If a one bomb is removed and/or a double vote is removed and BEFORE you notice that someone else has voted THEN the number of votes will appear to be the same but the votes are different.

Yes, this has happened to me a couple of times, and especially at around this time of the month, when Laurel is cleaning all the scores for the monthly contests.

Thanks Ogs! Didn't think of that. I'm in awe that someone can be so logical!

Didn't think of that either. Thanks Lauren! Guess the reasoning part of my brain isn't working too well today!

I was taught logic at High School. That and rhetoric were compulsory subjects. If you didn't pass them you didn't graduate.

The two of them can provide me with mild amusement when listening to politicians speak. I can still pick out the rhetorical tricks and the false logic.

I listen to too many local politicians - too often.
