Green Room - Week 14 - Day 3

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning.

Now that shay_writes has dropped out, we stand at 62 contestants.

Let's sit back and consider that for a moment. 62. That's 12 people standing between you and the Top 50. If we *just* lose 5 for the next couple of weeks (the 5 that we have been losing, assuming that there are no more drops or bye-outs), that means we will be there by the end of the month.

But also, consider that it also means that there are 8 people before you will have outlasted *100* other contestants. 100. It boggles MY mind, hopefully it does the same for you.

So if we really do have that short of distance to those points, I should remind everyone again, when we hit the Top 50 mark, all of the byes will go away. No more byes to use.

Also, I've mentioned this in passing in the Green Room over the past week or so a couple times... and so the people who happened to catch it seemed to be working with inside info, but really it was just a case of they saw (and understood) what I said. What did I say? That after 50 we will be having an Intersection. What does that mean? Well I'd imagine the same thing it meant last season.*G*

***

Still waiting to hear on who the 3 people with the power to call someone out have picked. Remember, you guys have until 11am EST on Friday to get me that info. (so we can prepare the polls in time).

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

From what I can find, it's when we have two topics. We pair up and one writes one topic, and the other writes the other.

Our votes are totaled, and the team(s) with the lowest vote total(s) are eliminated.

Oh, that sounds like fun!

That would be the "twist" I mentioned in my earlier cryptic post.

And you have it exactly right.

There are some interesting strategies to survive. If we pair ourselves:

1. The top two pair join and try to dominate
2. Top & middle join and should survive
3. Middle & middle join and have a chance
4. Middle & bottom take their chances
5. Bottom & bottom take a real risk
6. Top & bottom work together to raise bottom's standing

I do not mean to insult anyone with these names; they are only shorthand for the "average no. of votes."

If G pairs us (deliberately or randomly) then who knows what will happen.

So much of the pairing depends on what the topics are, though. I'd be great for some topics, not so good on others. *shrug*

That reads like slash.

I try my best.

Really, I do.

[So who is writing the .... *shsh that should be in your head Spydie* slash?]

Not this guy, that's for sure.
