Vote - Week 22

It's Week 22, and I've heard all sorts of speculation on what was going on with the deadline this time around. Some of it interesting. Most of it quite amusing! None of it, that I saw at least, correct.

This week has an extra special sting to it. Because dblicher missed the deadline, and has been eliminated.

You know what? You caught me in a good mood. She gets to stay.

That would be bad regardless. But the fact that, otherwise, it is a non-elimination round, where no one was scheduled to be going home, that just makes it worse!

Don't despair though, your efforts will be judged!

All current contestants need to read the entries http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/553736.html and email me (clauderainsrm@gmail.com) their three favorites PAIRS, based on this week's entries by Monday, April 16th at 8pm EDT The winning pair will get something. :)

Sound good? Hope so, cause that's what's happening! :)

Good luck to everyone, and have fun reading!

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Oh, wait.

I'm sad about dblicher, though. Now that we've been at this so long, I feel like I know most of the people who are still left. Losing people Is tougher every week.

I'm noting you said "non-elimination ROUND" not "WEEK", and thus the "something" the top scorers get is not, in fact, elimination, based on the technicality that it'll be next week by the time the results are up.

...Right?

I was wondering about that too. He did say something about "topsy turvy" this week. But that would be seriously evil, and like you said, he did say "round". So I'm not seeing any way to interpret that as "haha, the winners get eliminated!" Hopefully.

I continue to eye it warily. Even if the....er...prize isn't outright elimination, I still can't shake the feeling that this particular lottery isn't so much the "million dollar jackpot" kind as the Shirley Jackson kind. Hopefully, that's just me being a paranoid tinhat, as I to tend to excel at such things.

Thanks, my friend. Crap WEEK is more like it. Still waiting on tests from the doctor yesterday. But I *did* find the wallet!

Awwwww. Dblicher is one of my favs. :(

As for the rest- Gary, how very nice of you! Especially with my birthday right around the corner. :-D

YIkes! I thought it was 9:00! I posted anyway, for anyone who wants to read it. Please read basric's beautiful entry anyway, which she worked very hard on and got to me on time.

Oh, yay! I was wondering if he'd let you stay when I saw you'd gotten the deadline mixed up, because I know he took a late entry last week. Glad he did. :)

I was afraid that might be the case. I am SO glad Gary is letting you stay. It would have been so sad and basric needs her teammate!

*hugs* Yay you're safe! I would have been sad.

...Actually, I was sad. The strike-though didn't show on my phone and I had to scroll forever to realize you were still safe.

But yay for safe!

Ummm... holy crap?!?!

#1. BUMMED about dblicher! :(
#2. NO poll?? I *hate* not having a poll to watch! EEK!
#3. Monday? Does this mean we're not getting another topic till then?? (Which would be AWESOME because I'm going to be in the mountains Fri-Mon for my ten-year wedding anniversary and planned to write in the wee hours while hubby slept.)

Apparently not! At least, unless I can get something written by Thursday night, which seems unlikely...

Twisty, twisty Gary...!

Oh, that's a nice twist! Makes me wonder what sort of special power or whatnot you've got up your sleeve!

Getting kids to finish homework?

See, I was aiming for something *realistic* here. :-p

Very glad to see you get in under the wire this week. ;-)

First: basric's entry is here:
http://basric.livejournal.com/236393.html

It takes my breath away, and I hope it does yours.

Second: Gary, you're letting me stay? Woo-hoo! ::jumps around the room, cheering and waking the kids:: Um, does this mean I have to wax your car or something??

Very sneaky and twisty, Gary. I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth but experience around here has taught me to look for the flying hoof to the head!!!

But but but but...but what if one didn't have a partner? Does that mean I split myself into two Kizzys?

:boggle:

Can we vote for ourselves? And if we can, wouldn't that really mean most of us will have two automatic votes and everyone has two "real" variable votes to play with?
similiesslip
Apr. 11th, 2012 02:07 am (UTC)
That's a good point. I assumed we can vote for ourselves though..we can in "normal" polls..

Apr. 11th, 2012 03:21 am (UTC)
You definitely can. I'm sure some people will, and others will not.

Ours are excellent and we should totally get an invisibility cloak for them! Maybe even two invisibility cloaks! :D

Invisible from polls? Because you don't want invisible entries. No one would read them!

I was thinking invisible from tax collectors, but invisible from eliminations would work too.

Yay! I'm glad dblicher gets to stay and that it's a non elimination round!
basric
Apr. 11th, 2012 02:48 am (UTC)
Gary since it is a non-elimination race can my partner's late entry still count? If not can my entry and xreesex who has no partner be voted for alone?
jem0000000
Apr. 11th, 2012 04:59 am (UTC)
*HUGS* for Gary!!!!

Yay! I'm glad dblicher gets to stay and that it's a non elimination round! just echoing......echo echo echo....faint echo..

Now lets get this right. I have to vote for 3 pairs by Monday, I have to read all the entries by Thursday? I have to write something on a totally crap subject by Monday? Just asking.

I also need to read the paper for the blind, get drunk if I have time, bake two things to take to family party, attend family party Saturday, deal with 'prodigal' son. and ancient husband. 3 assorted felines; O.K no big deal. Dons superwoman cloak. Flies off at full speed.

Aha, don't need to vote so no Thursday deadline? apart from the pairs by Monday? oh dear think I need a coffee or something more drastic.
xo_kizzy_xo
Apr. 11th, 2012 11:55 am (UTC)
Both deadlines are on Monday. They're an hour apart.

The difference is that we have no poll to obsess over this week.

jacq22
Apr. 11th, 2012 12:26 pm (UTC)
No poll , no eliminations, that's good isn't it? too tired at this time to think, and the new subject requires some thought. Serious thought. Beam me up Scotty.
