How has your week been going?

Now of course it's time for this week's prompt.

I summon the great wheel of prompts to dispense it's justice!!

May it's will be done.

*spins*

This week's prompt is...

Toi toi toi

The deadline to link your entry back to this thread is Sunday, July 27th at 7pm ET.

Have fun!

clauderainsrm

Last week I talked about removing one of the "No Twist" options.

But like all things, I couldn't do that on my own. I went to a random generated coin flip. Heads I removed a "no twist". Tails it stayed the way it was.

It came up tails. So the "No Twist" stayed on the board. This week. I'll ask again before the next time.

Then I asked the Wheel if there would be a twist... and of course it said NO.

(I then asked the Wheel, if there WAS a twist what it would be, and man that would have been a fun reveal!!! But I guess we will have that next time.)

So, no twist this week.

The antidote is once again in the hands of

xeena to determine what will happen with it.

and the castle was eerie and silent all night long, with no signs of any foul play. What are the Killer(s) up to??? Is it possible their ranks are growing?

clauderainsrm

The poll is closed, the votes are in, and this week we are unfortunately saying another sad goodbye.

Hopefully not for long, but at least for now.

Goodbye to... *checks poll* *checks email* *looks at poll again*

murielle

who sacrificed this week by throwing herself off the turret. It made quite a mess and the grounds crew is going to be quite busy for the next *looks at the mess* few days probably.

Thank you for coming out and I hope you will be able to resurrect sooner rather than later whenever things get less crazy in your life.

clauderainsrm

A few words from

clauderainsrm:

The Killer(s) have claimed their first victim! https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1190785.html

But we must still go forward with a vote to determine who else will be leaving us this week!

It’s not going to be easy given how good the entries are this time around.

Now it’s all up to you - the voters! Read. Comment. Vote for your favorites!! You are the only ones who can save them! You can also determine who will receive the antidote that may stop the evil schemes of the Killer(s)!

That’s a lot of power, and also great responsibility. Use it well.

There will be (spins wheel) 1 person leaving us this week.

The poll closes Wednesday July 23rd at 8pm ET.

Good luck to everyone!

I'm glad that everyone could make it to this meeting. Before this poll is posted, we have some solemn business to attend to - there is a/are Killer(s) lose in this castle!! You are the only ones who are able to identify them and bring them to justice!!!

You have sent in your votes, and this time there were 9 different suspects. But the majority landed on a Killer being none other than

flipflop_diva

*cue dramatic music*

***
Now that is out of the way, we can get back to the business at han... wait, hey, are you OK? *someone falls to the ground with a thud* *screaming, lots and lots of screaming*

SOMEONE CALL A DOCTOR!!! SOMEONE CALL... oh, it's too late...

fausts_dream is dead. The Killer(s) have murdered him. The last Nullifier, the power to chance results and take out twists, is gone with him.

He did leave this final message though, a last entry in his Idol journal. Maybe there's a clue, or at least some solace for those he has left behind. fausts-dream.dreamwidth.org/7521.html

clauderainsrm

The deadline for this week's prompt is tomorrow. Which is why there are still so many of them missing! ;) Slackers!!!

therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1189997.html

For those of you who like to read ahead though, there are some really good ones already up there. No pressure to the slackers! ;)

***

How has your weekend been going?

***
For those still in the game - Make sure to send me your accusation!!

clauderainsrm

So much to talk about. Therapy has been going OK.

What I HAVEN’T told her, yet, is where to find the new prompt https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1189997.html

I also haven’t told her that Xeena has let me know who will be receiving the antidote. Did she save a life? Was it wasted? That’s not got me up tell.

I’m definitely not sure what my therapist would think of Killer(s) running around in my castle Or about the fact that I have a castle Or that in this friendly writing community, murder is afoot!!!

What would YOUR therapist (real or imagined) be shocked by?

clauderainsrm

This week's prompt is again from the list of unused prompts buried deep in the Idol vaults. The wheel spins and the result is:

Figure of speech

The deadline to link your entries back to this thread is

Sunday July 20th at 7pm ET.

Have fun!

clauderainsrm

The wheel has landed on NO TWIST.

There are 2 "no twist" spots. I may have to remove one. ;) If nothing else, this should increase the odds of week after week of brutal twists coming!! Or, at least I can hope.

The Wheel may be on your side, at the moment, but the Killer(s) certainly is/are not!!! So make sure you send me your accusation before the next deadline!

clauderainsrm

Another contestant has been poisoned. Fortunately, with

xeena has been given the antidote and will be able to administer that crucial life-saving elixir to someone. (she has until the new prompt deadline to send me her decision about who will be receiving it!)

***

The remaining contestants also have until then to send me their accusation on who they believe is a Killer/one of the Killers. Identifying them is the only way to stop their murder spree! So far, no one has dropped dead. But, if someone was completely healthy in Week 1, with no byes used, this would be the first week that someone could die. So I guess we will start seeing signs of their nefarious deeds.

***

Now comes the sad part, where we say goodbye to someone.

The good news is, as you know, that wheel keeps on spinning, so who knows where it is going to land and give people the chance to come back.

But for now, goodbye to

oxymoron67 thank you so much for coming out for this, and hope you will stick around, Home Game, and see what the wheel has it store next!

clauderainsrm

Greetings from Ohio. I came up for two different family reunions. Well, one "Cousin's Day" and the other is a cookout because they were looking for an excuse to have one, and since I was coming up and no one has seen me in years, a lot of different subgroups of the family are coming together (so in other words, a "family reunion" but only one of them was planned years in advance!

Don't forget to read, comment and vote for your favorites? therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1188979.html

The trip so far has been nice at points, but emotionally rough. Definitely some difficult insights into family dynamics.

Such as, it turns out that yes, my Dad IS just weirdly distant from the kids, family and pretty much everyone. But he *specifically* doesn't like me and doesn't want to talk to me because he "can't understand a word (I) say" and is embarrassed by me. (Due to my stutter) Found that out from my siblings after they were drinking a lot and speaking candidly about the issues in the family. One of them had the courage to say it out loud (after I said that I was positive my Dad didn't like me) and no one contradicted him. Maybe I can finally stop trying to gain his approval! It's just one more reason to be glad that I started therapy and have a session that afternoon I get back (Tuesday)

***

How has YOUR week/weekend been going? Hopefully all of you are positive that I want to kick you!!! Because I do.

clauderainsrm

A few words from

clauderainsrm:

The population of our castle keeps shrinking, and the Killer(s) haven’t even claimed their first victim yet! Unfortunately before the poll even opens, we are losing 3 contestants who are out of byes:i0ne impoetry matsushima

That is always an awful way to go out, but it’s even more the case when it comes to Week 3 bye outs, because that means we haven’t even gotten the chance to read anything from them! Hopefully they will consider Home Game-ing until the Wheel offers another shot to get back into the game!

We also have a drop. Per the wheel, this particular drop WILL be counted toward the total of contestants leaving us this week!

Goodbye to used_songs . You will be missed! I hope you are able to make it back in at a later point! And yes, before anyone asks- the Nullifer went out as well.

The Wheel also said that 2 contestants would be leaving this week - which means that there will be *1* contestant leaving (thanks to the drop)

The poll closes Tuesday, July 15th at 8pm ET.

Good luck to everyone!

flipflop_diva has used her reward to give someone the antidote! Did she save a life or did that precious elixir go to waste? I guess we will start finding out in the coming weeks!!

***

But before we get to the regularly scheduled voting and polls, there is still the matter of YOU, the Idol contestants, and your attempt to stop this/these horrible Killer(s) from their murderous plots!

There was slightly more concentration of votes this time around, with fewer named suspects. (only 8 as opposed to 13 last time) But, by a slight margin, one name came out on top.

The Idolers formally accuse

inkstainedfingertips of being a KIller!!!

clauderainsrm

The new prompt is up: therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1188144.html

Which means the results and twist (or in this case, non-twist) are also up: therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1187739.html and therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1188073.html

I've been thinking a lot lately about compatibility when it comes to love languages. For those of you will partners - what are you, and what are they?

My "love language" is Acts of Terror. That's how I show my feelings, by unleashing absolute terror onto people, usually to force them to write! Sometimes this is accompanied by "Acts of Violence, Specifically Kicking"

clauderainsrm

*spins wheel*

*Looks at what was selected*

*tries to remember the circumstance that led to it being added, fails* *Looks up what it means* *still no clue, but now agrees that Past Gary was right to add it*

The Prompt for Week 3 is

ECCO

It's an Italian word, so I'm linking a site to a definition (since all of the English ones were leading to a company with that name!) italian.yabla.com/lesson-Ecco-An-Ancient-and-Useful-Adverb-703

As always, the prompt is a springboard for your creativity.

So go have fun!

The deadline to link your entry back to this thread is Wednesday July 9th at 7pm ET.

clauderainsrm

I consulted the wheel to see if there would be a twist this week... and it said NO.

So this week has no special twist.

You do however have one more chance for you to try to find the Killer(s) before they poison anyone else! Remember to send me your guess on the identity of a killer by the deadline for the prompt.

I just realized I never posted this last night! :D

clauderainsrm

In the dead of night, the Killer(s) have poisoned another contestant! Who is it? Is it you???

The good news is that

flipflop_diva had the most votes this week, which means she will be deciding how to hand out the antidote! Maybe she will be able to save someone...

***

Now for the other news, even though at several points I thought it was going to be a decent-sized tie, in the end there were two contestants who ended up with the fewest votes:

adoptedwriter and

kizzy

The idea that either of them could be going home in Week 2 of any season is absolutely insane to me. But with all of the byes, and the will of the Wheel, that is exactly what is happening!!

I hope you both will be hanging out and Home Gaming, until the Wheel spins in the favor of letting you back in for your revenge!!

***

In better news, there are TWO Nullifiers that are coming into the game thanks to this week's twist. Reminder - a Nullifier can negate a twist OR the result from any given week between now and the Top 5. The contestants who received them (it was a tie) are

fausts_dream and

used_songs ! Congratulations!

clauderainsrm

The poll for Week 2 is up:

Make sure you check it out, read some new favorites and of course keep getting the word out!

***

What sort of Chaos has the Wheel of Life brought into your life THIS week?

On the plus side, the Governor gave all state workers an extra day off. Yay.

On the negative side, that means I'll have one day without work distractions to keep me occupied.

*looks over at the wheel and smiles* Maybe I'll have to find something else to do... :)

Seriously though, thanks for being here. It really means a lot to me. Especially now.

clauderainsrm

In Traitors/Werewolf/Mafia/Your reference here - when people come together and make this sort of accusation, the person selected is exiled from the community.

I decided not to go that far with this. :)

But also decided to "out" them to the public. Because if they are in fact the Killer, people need to know!!!

I can give you the following information:

There were 13 different suspects receiving votes. 3 of them were 1 vote shy of tying. The rest were 2 votes shy of that mark. Which makes sense. People are gathering information and playing hunches, in hopes of stopping the murder spree in it's infancy.

The group has named

roina_arwen as the prime suspect!

***
We will have to wait and see if there are any more poisonings this week, or if the angry mob of Idolers got it right the first time!
