Nice tendons and vascularity. Fingers and fingernails are way too long and skinny for my liking though.
I cant believe john hasnt posted his hands in here they are godly
Now I want to see John's hand.
Oh shit, I didn't know this thread existed.
I'll post my hand tomorrow when there's better lighting, but it's nothing special, I think.

Hi guys, I apologize for slacking with my ratings in this wonderful thread. I have made it my New Years resolution to continue with this.
Here is a picture of my hand as a form of an apology.

I’m still not sure if I want to be “here” yet. OT is definitely a place like no other, that’s for sure.
it's been a while since there were new denizens

Yeah it's a kensington slimblade, kind of pricey but got it on a decent sale about a year and a half ago and I'd say if you wait for a good markdown it's fairly tolerable since most trackballs have a deep slope but this one is basically flat which is way more cozy and is generally really good quality. Anyhow, I use it for general browsing and when I play games I pull down my mouse (which in that pic is resting on the top of the monitor hence the cord leading up to it). Incidentally, I saw your hand near the top of the thread, our hands seem somewhat similar. Perhaps I'm generally more bulgy at the knuckle points and joints but aside from that it lookes like the same general shape.

Potentially but the original leg thread that was decapitated by the musculous bird has been older.

Pretty basic hand imo. Nice nails, could use a bit of trimming though. It looks like you rubbed your middle finger knuckle on your desk really hard and burned it. I did that in 4th grade one time and game myself a little scar. Also, your thumb gives me anxiety.Captain Picard wrote:

Would it be possible to link the persons hand with their rating? Would that be too much work?

I was planning on doing that to make it easier for me to maintain an accurate rating standard. I'm just lazy and haven't set aside the time on doing so yet, lmaoAshton wrote:

It's too much effort, discovering hands and rating them yourself is part of the fun.

also, as I was going through and linking all the pics to the leaderboard, I noticed that a lot of the images have been removed / unhosted. If I missed your hand on the leaderboard then please post another picture so I can fix it.
that was quicker than i thought. nice
Topic Starter
yup, and now that I've had a chance to compare all the submissions side by side I have adjusted a few scores.Ashton wrote:

Nate Bate, subbie6, [Ska] have had their scores readjusted and have all been moved up a few ranks to compensate for their new scores.
I just fell two ranks but that's alright, Penguin's rating is never wrong.
the color of your hands makes it look kinda bad. I assume you used the eraser in the back before you took this shot. It feels as if your colors on your hands were as if you just got back from punching your hand into a wall for an hour. However I will admit that you have a good palm and fingers weight ratio that goes well together. The fingernails are too short for my liking as it looks like a garbled piece of mess. You however have a good amount of hair on your hands. It's not too much in which you look like you got bit by a werewolf but not too little where your skin is just see-through and you can see all of your tendons.samX500 wrote:

the color of your hand is fine, it just seems like it's cold when you took the picture. Nice amount of hair, not too much which is perfect. Fingernails are a little stubby, but not terrible.samX500 wrote:

Strategies for assigning rankings
It is not always possible to assign rankings uniquely. For example, in a race or competition two (or more) entrants might tie for a place in the ranking.[3] When computing an ordinal measurement, two (or more) of the quantities being ranked might measure equal. In these cases, one of the strategies shown below for assigning the rankings may be adopted. A common shorthand way to distinguish these ranking strategies is by the ranking numbers that would be produced for four items, with the first item ranked ahead of the second and third (which compare equal) which are both ranked ahead of the fourth. These names are also shown below.
Standard competition ranking ("1224" ranking)
In competition ranking, items that compare equal receive the same ranking number, and then a gap is left in the ranking numbers. The number of ranking numbers that are left out in this gap is one less than the number of items that compared equal. Equivalently, each item's ranking number is 1 plus the number of items ranked above it. This ranking strategy is frequently adopted for competitions, as it means that if two (or more) competitors tie for a position in the ranking, the position of all those ranked below them is unaffected (i.e., a competitor only comes second if exactly one person scores better than them, third if exactly two people score better than them, fourth if exactly three people score better than them, etc.).
Thus if A ranks ahead of B and C (which compare equal) which are both ranked ahead of D, then A gets ranking number 1 ("first"), B gets ranking number 2 ("joint second"), C also gets ranking number 2 ("joint second") and D gets ranking number 4 ("fourth").
Modified competition ranking ("1334" ranking)
Sometimes, competition ranking is done by leaving the gaps in the ranking numbers before the sets of equal-ranking items (rather than after them as in standard competition ranking).[where?] The number of ranking numbers that are left out in this gap remains one less than the number of items that compared equal. Equivalently, each item's ranking number is equal to the number of items ranked equal to it or above it. This ranking ensures that a competitor only comes second if they score higher than all but one of their opponents, third if they score higher than all but two of their opponents, etc.
Thus if A ranks ahead of B and C (which compare equal) which are both ranked head of D, then A gets ranking number 1 ("first"), B gets ranking number 3 ("joint third"), C also gets ranking number 3 ("joint third") and D gets ranking number 4 ("fourth"). In this case, nobody would get ranking number 2 ("second") and that would be left as a gap.
Dense ranking ("1223" ranking)
In dense ranking, items that compare equally receive the same ranking number, and the next item(s) receive the immediately following ranking number. Equivalently, each item's ranking number is 1 plus the number of items ranked above it that are distinct with respect to the ranking order.
Thus if A ranks ahead of B and C (which compare equal) which are both ranked ahead of D, then A gets ranking number 1 ("first"), B gets ranking number 2 ("joint second"), C also gets ranking number 2 ("joint second") and D gets ranking number 3 ("Third").

Those threads were eliminated due to the dangers they pose over OT and it's denizens.
And I didn't stole anyone's face. I'm sure that was just you on a posting spree back then with different aliases.
Nevertheless, I've done what's been expected of me for OT. I have no shame on what I did.
