How many times have Daily Hot Shots changed the text for the next day’s vote?

I typically do my Daily Hot Shots voting and mini dressing in the wee hours of the morning. For voting on 13-DEC, there was text early yesterday morning about being prepared for winter. And now it has been changed to “Who is better sporting last year’s gifts from Grandma?”

From the Answers column, I’m aware that this is not the first time this transpired. I wish Pogo would get their act together and commit to something well in advance. Anyway, does anybody have a ballpark estimate of how many days the last-minute changes took place?

I don’t know exact count, but assume several, at least.
I now collect my winnings, (cha-ching), & vote on the first 5 in early AM, so I can read goal & look through *both male & female mall items to see if there’s anything new.
I go back late afternoon/early evening, check again to see if anything changed, then enter next day’s shoot.

My instructions mentitoned the sweaters when I did mine yesterday around 10am.

Strange creature that I am, (& I have bad, short-term memory), I write down the goal & descriptive info about shoot.
That one was “Gifts of Holidays Past” and asked, “What do you do with all those knitted sweaters? Dress in last year’s gift from grandma.” Think we’ll see a lot of males in that green Christmas sweater? ;)
Today I just noted > “Roller Shopping” (animated roller coaster bg). Model’s motivation is sheer terror.
Terror will be difficult to show when we can’t change expressions. Really wish more options would be added sooooon.

Thanks for the feedback. I was up around 3:00 a.m. Sunday when I did my Daily Hot Shot and I know the text was not the same as what was displayed during the voting I participated in at 5:30 a.m. Monday.

I purposely delayed dressing my mini for tomorrow (14-DEC) since I found nothing appropriate (Thanks, Brenda, I had the same frustration with ‘terror’ and the non-altering facial expressions). Slim pickings, as the outfits would have to metaphorically convey “terror”. What, is this interpretation art now?

Frank, are you saying in your original question that the actual voting instructions themselves changed during the day? Or that the voting instructions were different from the original goal instructions? I had assumed you meant the latter, but re-reading the question, I’m not sure now!

I, too, often am checking the voting instructions and new contest right as the voting opens at 3:00 a.m. est. I don’t know how often the language didn’t match up since the “game” was released, because I didn’t even notice the “goal” write-up until days after I had been playing. lolllll I heard from others that the goal and the voting instructions weren’t matching up. However, a bunch of us have been keeping track on the Daily Hot Shots thread over on the BH main site and I believe that Pogo has gotten much better keeping the goal and voting instructions correctly matched up lately, maybe over the last week to week-and-a-half or so.
