Vote! - Week Thirteen

[kithan.livejournal.com]

A few words from clauderainsrm:

Can you feel that? That’s the tension in the air as we head toward our Top 50.

Any moment there could be a massive bye-out that takes us to 30. Any step could be a misstep. Every move could be the last.

Or, this could be the week where someone takes things to the next level, where they make their case for why they are a serious contender. Considering how wide open this field is, we’ve seen that, at this point, that just about anyone in the competition could do exactly that.

Current Events has become a regular feature, to force people outside of their comfort zones to actually talk about the things going on in the world around them, and how they relate to events in their own lives.

There have been some INCREDIBLE entries this week so I hope you take the time to read them and vote for your favorites.

Because that’s the only thing that is going to keep them in this hunt – your vote and your support.

This week two people were given the power to declare Sudden Death matches, one on one fights. Those two were dedamona and lacombe. Both of whom decided not to subject anyone to that fact.

The numbers of who are going is not going to change, just who it will be. The bottom 5 voter getters, over all (in both polls) will be leaving us.

Actually, since it’s probably the worst kept secret ever, make that 4. Because as of the moment this poll is posted, worldofcharlie has officially dropped out of the competition. So someone was just saved by this sacrifice. . .


Voting opens now and will continue until Monday Feb 11th at 1pm EST. Good luck to everyone!

Tech Support Note - Neither sleet, nor snow (not even 14"), nor dead of night will keep the poll from being posted. :)

Major props to dedamona for making a decision that I know very well is not easy to make.

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

Major respect for both of you for being kind and generous human beings.

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hun. :-) Turns out it's going to be a "nice" week after all!

[porcelain72.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I'm going to be away for most of the weekend, and I'd like to come back to a nice, peaceful Green Room.

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

I agree!

I know being in possession of that power wouldn't have been easy.

I'm glad you can both relax and enjoy your weekends!

[dedamona.livejournal.com]

thanks. i just couldn't see going head to head with any one. just couldn't see any reason to single anybody out, you know.

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

Me neither. When I couldn't find willing volunteers, I dropped it.

[dedamona.livejournal.com]

if i had done it and won, i'd feel guilty as hell for being directly responsible for someone getting the boot. i figure this way, any connection between me and someone else getting the boot is indirect at best. thus all guilt is absolved.

My power was pretty powerful- more so than Spydie's IMO. It wasn't fun thinking about all the possible ways I could use that. HUGE advantages. Unfair and not fun results.

[gonadsandstrife.livejournal.com]

You both would make horrible emperors.

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

I'm a force when I'm pissed, though. But yeah, striking fear into the hearts of others I do not.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I would make a horrible emperor.

I would make a fantastic empress.

*watches imagines her subjects kneeling at her feet*

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Bringing people is is FAR easier than taking people out.

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

I would have LOVED that power. Absolutely. LOVED. it.

[moonstone-fae.livejournal.com]

Face it, you just didn't want to challenge the greatness that is in this room. MwaHaha!!!

[moonstone-fae.livejournal.com]

What? Not even me??? ;) *evil grin*

[dedamona.livejournal.com]

especially not you. you might have taken away my rights to your guest bedroom. then i'd be forced to stay with my brother. *shudder*

[moonstone-fae.livejournal.com]

Yeah, dedamona is a pretty cool chica!

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

Hey, was my editing OK? I'm a tough editor- I want to make sure you know I did it with positive intentions.

[moonstone-fae.livejournal.com]

No worries! :)

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

^_^

Let me know if I can help again in the future.

[dedamona.livejournal.com]

you know what stuart? i like you.

[moonstone-fae.livejournal.com]

...You're not like the other people, here, in the trailer park.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

do you think those people know what the queers are doing to the soil?

[moonstone-fae.livejournal.com]

Now, Stuart, if you look at the soil around any large US city,
there's a big undeground homosexual population.
