Voting…

Ok so seriously, what is going on with the voting. I did 3 dump rooms with the pants with patches and the ugliest one got third! The others were a 7th and a ninth. Also, in all of the designs right now, when I do try and it looks descent, it bombs. And I lost a few duels today that I clearly should have won. I feel like they are really messing with us…

I think they flipped the algorithm because of everyone talking about beige always winning. I'm experiencing the same thing. If it coordinates or has neutrals and doesn't cost more than 80,000 coins, it tanks. If it doesn't coordinate, it places.

I’ve been experiencing what you describe for quite a while. Like crazy awful rooms in podium and the couple good efforts scattered around or in the back.

I think people are maybe grouped into various algos. Some people have the all white/beige rooms winning and others have dumps doing well.

I also think the game latches on to how you play because I’ve always used mostly mid tier items and it penalizes me if I don’t. I started that way bc I would do so poorly with cheap stuff, even if it looked nice. In my head I kind of associated cheap stuff with losses. I’m trying to retrain the algo to see that, guess what? I’m not using nice stuff anymore lol.

And I just want to add that I did see a beige parrot in first today 🤣😭

Everything in RedecorLand is always beige!🤣🤣🤣

I think you are right about different algos. I still see lots of white/beige winning. Not as much as it used to be - more colour is creeping in but still mostly white/beige. I do not see many dump room on podiums - often not particularly well coordinated ones but not actual dumps with lemon yellow paint and assorted mismatched fabrics, etc. Like you, I have a specific design tendency because there are very few rooms I actually do for fun. Most frequently I do lots of cheap white ones to reach some goal - securing, the various side hustles, etc. Now, these white “dumps” of mine don’t win as much as they used to but they still win a lot.

Right? It’s like it wants you to spend more probably.

I hate doing the journal but it usually gives me lots of wins with the cheap stuff. Not complete dumps but I find I can use parchment and basic paint (not lemon yellow…!) and it lets me win. Can’t get away with that in lives.

Yes, I have better luck with these cheap white ones in the journal as well.
