Green Room - Week 9 - Day 5

The deadline to get your entries in is TONIGHT! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/981676.html

So hopefully we are going to be seeing *a lot* more entries coming in today.

If not, then I guess we will see a lot more action happening at Second Chance: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/981280.html ;)

If there are people who know you are lagging behind and haven't posted yet, now would be an excellent time to kick them into gear!

Or just kick them in general!

People with byes can still use them, correct?

Also, First!!

Congratulations on being First! Throws confetti, blows on noise maker, and passes you cookies behind your back whispering, "Hide these from Gary."

One thing I always hear from people coming across Idol for the first time is "I don't know how it works!"

How would YOU describe Idol to a complete newbie?

(I'm particularly interested in hearing from some of our newbies who are still learning about it! :D)

0) Everyone is lovely feel free to say hello and ask questions*
1) See prompt
2) Google prompt (even if you know exactly what it is)
3) Get ideas
4) Procrastinate
5) Use a bye as needed (these are free passes)
6) Answer questions in Green room instead of writing entry
7) Write entry last minute into the night
8) Edit
9) Post
10) Read others entries
11) Vote
12) *Ignore the crazy. No one understands the crazy.

2 AM brain flow.
11 AM double check edit cause 2 am flows means missed words and bad logic.
then post before deadline the day of.

This is how you can describe my response to the main entry and how to describe Idol.

I've been in Seattle all weekend, and I've barely had any time to myself. I'm not sure if I'll have time to get an entry in today, but fortunately I still have both of my byes left in the event I can't get something written.

Seattle was exactly what I needed right now, though. It got me offline and connecting with people and having fun. Plus I got some improv stage time! So now I've performed improv for an audience in 5 different cities, in 3 different states!

Oh cool! I am in the Seattle area, over the bridge though on the Eastside :)

Last night I wrote two versions of idea. I'll make some more attempts. I think the idea is good, but....sigh

My brain is soooo tired.

Question Gary: if I take a bye now, but feel better in two hours and complete my entry before the deadline can I retract my bye and enter?

You can. But if you do that, just make sure to send me a note. Otherwise I might not catch the update.

*peeks in long enough to drop off cookies*

Work has EATEN ME ALIVE. Oh well? I managed to post before the deadline, though not much before. We'll see how much longer I can keep this up.

So, it's an hour and a half til deadline and

1. I have my entry posted already
2. There are fewer than sixty comments on the topic thread
3. A bunch of those are byes.

hmmmmm.

Yep. What is your take on this, as a veteran player?

So since we got voted out and the deadline doesn't matter really for home gamers... (At least not until Second Chance gets its process together).

We wrote a Welcome to Night Vale fanfic poem for the Home Game in an AU universe i was stuck on for awhile. Now I have ideas for it again! XD http://dreamwriters.livejournal.com/119072.html
