Green Room - Week 12 - Surprise Sunday Evening edition

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

GRAP!

You've got a lot on your minds don't you?*g*

Seriously though, I find it fascinating to see people actually talking about the notion of what is and is not ethical behavioral as it pertains to game play.

I don't like the more aspect where people's feelings are hurt, but I love the very notion of having this conversation. Especially reading it while the Super Bowl is on, given how one of the teams got there...(*opens a can of worms and sits back and sees which bird will peck at it*)*g*

***

I've talked to a few people in prviate - yes, I do get the emails and I do try to respond to them as they come in - about "the other" issue from this week where people felt personally attacked by a fellow contestant... and it's been addressed with them. I'm only bringing this up because it does have to be mentioned that this is a game, and like all games there is a strict "you do not personally attack a contestant". It's usually physical that it restricted, but if the line becomes blurred I can and will use my ability to ban a player from the field of the play the same way I would with a troll who came into the community to insult people. It's a fine lines ladies and gentlemen, let's make sure we all stay safely on one side of it.

With that said - there's a cage match going on:

sideshowbennie vs. sushimustwrite so make sure to vote to keep your favorite in the running!

Bennie now holds this season's record for the most votes. But will it be enough? We won't know until the final bell rings tomorrow.

I promised tru2myart, season 2 winner, that I would post her comments on the whole alliance thing in the very next Green Room, since she wasn't sure she would be around. So they should end up as the first comment (unless someone is really, really on the ball...)

I have a couple of "newby" kind of eyes-caught-in-headlights questions:

what does it mean to take a "bye"?

how do you enter the contest?

Thanks!

[sushimustwrite.livejournal.com]

Each player began the game with two byes, which means they can skip two topics of their choice between the beginning and the top fifty. (The exception is kathrynrose, who was brought in by a special power last week and entered with one bye.)

As of now, entering the contest is closed until the current season ends...unless another power is introduced to bring someone into the game. You can still play the home game, though--just write up your entries in your journal and post a link in the Green Room! Welcome!

Ahh...thanks for taking the time to explain it so fully and understandably. I hope there's a Season 5!! For now, I love reading the entries!!!

And I think I'll write on this one for the fun of it...I guess as a home gamer...I just really wish I understood how to post a link in the Green Room. I've read the FAQ list on links in LJ but I'm just not doing something right...

Unless you want to make your link say something other than the address of your link, it's really easy (it's really easy anyway, but that's beside the point).

Simply find the link to your entry and copy it. You can paste the text into a comment box and it will automatically linkify. Just make sure that you have the http:// part.

I usually right-click on the "Link" button, or I go to view the comments, and copy the URL in the address bar.

Well you hit the nail on the head...I was trying to name it something different...but this I understand.

Thanks!!!!

You can use HTML to rename the link, but unless you have a real reason to, it's much easier to do this. :)
