That´s not the point. It´s not lack of competition. Tesore learnt marco´s game. Simple as that. Seriously... I see Paopla winning contest after contest and it´s exactly the same pattern that kept marco on top... (no offense Paola... I´m not saying you´re a bad person... I´m just saying you´re not a top notch chopper to be on top... what is kinda truth... but don´t take it personally... most here are not... not even me...) She´s nice with everyone, votes for any piece of crap noobs post, noobs start getting votes, feel they deserve eternal gratitude for the votes received, engage in a friendly voting pattern, everyone votes for her, she wins contests after contests and become a psc legend... she could take a pic of her poop and post it and it would still get votes... just like marco used to do. Point is, this pattern was created because of the lack of anonimity.
Check her latest anonimous prize contest entries:
1. 6th 22 votes
2. 8th 17 votes
3. 14th 16 votes
4. 18th 14 votes
5. 7th 18 votes
And compared with her latest non-anonimous no prize entries:
1. 2nd 22 votes
2. 1st 23 votes
3. 3rd 28 votes
4. 9th 12 votes
5. 5th 26 votes
if you don´t see a pattern, you´re blind. When people start voting for what´s worth only, this pattern might stand a chance of changing. Meanwhile, keep it not anonimous, and there will always be the friendly voting. Anonimous doesn´t avoid anonimity, but it sure helps.
