Results/ Tie-Breaker Write Off

[clauderainsrm]

 I knew this was going to happen sooner or later but didn't think it would be "sooner"... and it came within a hair of being MUCH more severe. 

We have a tie.  kizzy   tamara_in_jakarta ,thephantomq , yamyam_kat 


So it's a 4 way tie and 2 of these contestants will be eliminated.  It came within a single vote of being a 15 way tie!!!

Due to circumstances beyond my control (Debby) I will not be able to do the standard "24 hours to write a new entry" standard run off. So instead I'm going to generous and give you 48 hours to write a new entry.   :) 

The 4 of you will write an OPEN TOPIC entry.  Which means it can be anything you want. It's your neck on the line, so bring your A-game!!

You will link your entry back to the thread I will be making below by Monday August 5th at 8pm ET.  Then a new poll will go up for the new entries. 


In the meantime a new regular prompt will go up as well for everyone not in the run-off. So keep an eye out for that one as well since the survivors are going to need to write something for that!

OMG that's quite a group. Good luck, everyone!

[chasing_silver]

Those were all great entries, so it's a bit surprising to see them all in the bottom. But I'm super looking forward to reading these ones!

::throws hat in disgust:: I could have been that one vote making such mayham! I'm so disappointed in myself for missing this opportunity!

[clauderainsrm]

To be honest, when I saw how close it was I fully expected to see your name as the last vote cast. :D

[aggienaut]

Ahahaha me? Neverrrr (:O

LJ Idol is weird and confusing to me still after all these years.

[roina_arwen]

Right? Honestly, you just never know how the voting will go any given week. I looked at the poll just before it closed and everyone was SO close!

[tamara_in_jakarta]

Sorry, I am a bit slow. Do we link as a reply here or as a reply to your comment to link to this thread?

[clauderainsrm]

It's always a good question. You post to the thread marked "Write Off", to make sure they don't get lost in the shuffle.

[tamara_in_jakarta]

Comment thread, got it. Was confusing post with thread, good thing my entry is on language problems.

I'm a poll watcher so I've been watching this drama unfold. My heart goes out to all four of our Tie-Breakers: kizzy tamara_in_jakarta yamyam_kat I wish you all the best. You are the heroes! Rock on!

[murielle]

I am so sorry, thephantomq I didn't mean to leave you out. You too are a hero and you totally rock.

[pixiebelle]

Dang it, I missed voting. This week has been tough but I still planned on reading and voting, I thought I had more time. Good luck to all those in the tie breaker!

What a chaotic weekend! For idol results and for Floridians doing the Hurricane dance. I guess our fearless leader’s part of the state is already experiencing tropical storm force winds. I’m worried about my folks in a flood prone area north of there (and my mom has been sick) but it actually looks more likely that my city will see high winds. I know there are more prep things I should be dragging myself around to do, but I’m also still really wiped with Covid. I won’t be able to escape to the likely undamaged office if we lose power for a while this time, either, because I’ll probably still be contagious. Ugh. Rotten timing all the way around.

[roina_arwen]

Take care of yourself! If memory serves (and it doesn’t always) I think if you’re fever-free for 3 days then you’re no longer contagious.

[kizzy]

Oh, the things I miss when I'm working 7 days straight. My last day off was the day I wrote my entry. We have until Monday night? OK then.

(I'm not upset. I figured this was going to happen at some point seeing as I haven't had any time to actually sit down and read).

[erulissedances]

OMG, and I loved all of those entries! I'm so sorry that there needs to be a write-off. *hugs* to all four of you!
