Re: Skill score decreasing for found movies

Hey, Jason, How YOU doin' on YOUR Skill Score? Looks like you and I are the only two complaining. I checked in this morning with S.S. of .9154. Found three tracks, no errors, and by golly---my S.S. is now .9122. Penalized again for finding three tracks, I quit for the day. :( Evelyn (ERSTRS)

Re: Skill score decreasing for found movies

Hi, Jason, The problem continues. Three days ago my Skill Score was .9170, giving me hope I could move upward from #15 listing. Today, 3 days later, I just did some dusting, and after finding four tracks and making no errors, my Skill Score dropped to .9154. I don't want to continue dusting today or...

Re: Skill score decreasing for found movies

Jason: The question is is it going to be rectified, can't they go back to scoring the old way :?: Jason, To answer your question, I SURELY HOPE SO! Stardust@home is unique in many ways. However, I know of no other business, organization, or system that penalizes folks for doing something right. Evelyn

Re: Skill score decreasing for found movies

Jason, My dusting experience today was: Began with 9168 Skill Score and 17385 Power Score. Found and identified 4 tracks. (No errors) Ended up with Skill Score of .9157, a drop of .0011 points, while Power Score rose to 17500---a rise of 115 points. No chart, jitter or otherwise, can make that right...

Re: Skill score decreasing for found movies

jason/jason, I relate fully to your problem. The reasons for Skill Score descending in response to finding tracks is fully explained under "jitter simulation" topics. Check under "Stardust Problems & Support," --"Answers to questions about movies, scores, etc." and ...

Re: Answers to Qs about: VM, Movies, Scores… UPDATED 6:56pm

Jsmaje, 12-27-13, THANKS! I'll await your input. Am very curious as to how anyone else manages to advance in Skill Score---and hope you can help me do it, myself. For Pete's sake, when I find an 80 point track, my SS should go up not down! Evelyn (SmthES, ERSTRS)

Re: Answers to Qs about: VM, Movies, Scores… UPDATED 6:56pm

For Dan, who wrote: "I know you'll get a great Skill Score eventually!" Well, I'm back, and naturally had to amass 100 tracks before getting back in Rankings. Things are no better for me. I began with Power Score at 14675. Skill Score began at .9393. By the time I'd ranked up 100 PMs, my P...

Re: Discouraged! UPDATED 6:56pm

Hey, Guys, I am going to take a hiatus until after the holidays. Too discouraged to go on. Five days ago my Skill Score was .9488, and PS = 14145. Found ten tracks without error for the next five days, yet my Skill Score kept dropping with each one. (14145/.9488, 14155/.9482, 14165/.9481, 14185/.947...

Re: Answers to Qs about: VM, Movies, Scores… UPDATED 6:56pm

Speaking of "amazing memory"---my hubby says I never forget anything. I'm curious, are you running a few movies from former Phases? This one came up this morning, and I think I remember it from Phase III or IV, maybe? Movies from those Phases often had two "dust" particle near th...

Re: Answers to Qs about: VM, Movies, Scores… UPDATED 6:56pm

It's just me complaining again about Skill Score. I dusted about 30 minutes, didn't miss any tracks. S.S. was .9537 when I began. Power Score was 12600. I found 5 tracks. Power Score jumped to 12680. Skill Score dropped with each track found. Now equals .9522. It wasn't this way when Phase VI began-...

Dan, Here are two more, without VM I.Ds. I found them in my files. They are of fairly recent origin. Will definitely supply VM number next time---now that I know where to find it! Evelyn (ERSTRS)

Replying to: . . . . the VM number would be 9621420V1 based on the URL http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/powermissedviewer.php?movie_vm=9621420V1&theX=20&theY=161 Does that make sense? Dan Dan, YES! I got it! I had looked all over for the VM number before---From now on, I'll supply the ...

Re: Answers to Qs about: VM, Movies, Scores… UPDATED 6:56pm

Dan, There have been several identical movies with tracks in different places. I've kept a file of a few that I saw enough times to remember. This one just appeared, so I copied it number and all, before I clicked on the obvious track in upper right corner. It raised my PS 70 points! Hardly a 70 poi...

Replying to this post: Hi Evelyn, Dr. Westphal would like to take a look at these. Do you have any identification numbers of the PM? Are they still in your movies missed list?
