    My top two requesters by dollars are Project Endor and Crowdsurf Support. Crowdsurf used to be #1 but Endor has pulled ahead since last week.

    There have been a few in the last few batches that had high amounts of rejections/hits approved with approval ratings at like 92%-97%. So I do not think that is the key, or at least not the whole one.

    You've received a bonus from Project Endor for work related to 2NDCPWZ9RNDYG1PMCWJNBDTGAYERCZ.
    The value of your bonus is: $0.40 USD

    :/ I shouldn't complain but man I really wanted to get closer to my goal with that bonus.

    Hmm, well I can see were the frustration is coming in. It's my 4th week so if I get master's anytime soon, I'm willing to be everyone's target practice lol!!

    People have posted horrible stats and still have gotten it. The inactivity thing is looking more like it, the golden batch theory isn't out yet, I still think it's plausible

    We do know that those OCMP batches were posted about 2 months ago were not the golden hits that a lot of us suspected to be

    I also requested masters a few times before I got it. Within a week or two prior to getting it.

    You can't figure out after the fact what makes a Master. It's impossible to predict and it's impossible to come up with a post-facto theory that fits all the facts. Every theory you come up based on numbers or stats or timing can be disproven by someone else's numbers, stats or timing.

    You think it's because they had high approved HITs? Someone got it with low approved HITs.
    You think it's because they took a break? Someone else got it without taking a break.
    You think it's because they have a low rejection rate? Someone else got it with a high rejection rate.

    Frankly, Masters is magic.

    I think you might be right. And that actually makes me a little sad. Requesters pay higher fees to get masters workers which they think are amazing and the "best workers" and yet some of them are just regular jack-offs, or worse.

    Sounds like over 40 minutes according to the description it gives once you start.

    Thanks. That's why I wrote. I was getting real annoyed having to account for the jump from 1 to 8 and then convert the count to a page and result number.
