Vote! - Season 5, Week 6

[kithan.livejournal.com]

A few words from clauderainsrm:

The time is here. The walls between the worlds thin and all sorts of strange and mysterious creatures pass into the world from beyond.

The creatures in question of course are the new tribes, named (for now anyway) after their founder. Each of the four picked their selections – and once the deadline had passed I randomly assigned the remaining contestants to each tribe.

The following have unfortunately passed into that land beyond this week by missing the deadline:

_libertybelle_
bubbly
iballs2entrails
justkimu
mammaria

What sort of impact will this have on the results? Who will thrive in their new tribe and who is about to become an LJ Idol ghost?

Let’s find out!

The contestant with the fewest votes from each team will be going home.

Voting opens now and will close on Monday November 3rd at noon EST. (remember the time change on Sunday morning!)

Tech Support Note: Please send kleenex and NyQuil. Also, the usual. email kithan@livejournal.com for any errors, please.

First?

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

First! :^)

Wow, we lost a lot of people this week. Down to the top 127.

I assume we are still eliminating only one person per tribe, right?

Also, go tribe technophile! The alliteration has a nice ring to it. :-)

[kithan.livejournal.com]

Correct. Just updated the post to show that. :)

[greg-kennedy.livejournal.com]

Where is rm ?

[connie]

In tribe rm. :-)

[rm.livejournal.com]

Jesus. My whole tribe took their fucking bye-week this week it seems. Yowza.

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

That happened to me the first time we were allowed to use a "bye" week. Just remember: that's their only chance to do so. It's scary, though, when you see all those names that are safe.

[oberonia.livejournal.com]

I'd be curious as to why/how the tribe leader picked their members. :)

[dabhug.livejournal.com]

I would, too. Just coming to ask for the "pickers" to share their process.

Also, thanks for having me, Tribe rm.

[jarien.livejournal.com]

Feel better soon!

[foolonthehill.livejournal.com]

this is going to be a nail biter for sure :(

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

I feel a little guilty that the poll is up already and I'm still lying in bed.

Only a little guilty.

I have accomplished something. I have watched 3 episodes of Torchwood.

Now I am going to get up and eat some breakfast lunch, and come back and vote.

[foolonthehill.livejournal.com]

Its your every right to lay around in bed all morning every so often! :D

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Best of luck to everyone!

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

Good luck to everyone - there were some amazing entries this week. : )

[rejeneration.livejournal.com]

Yes, definitely. Best of luck. =D

[mshades.livejournal.com]

One of the downsides to submitting so late is that I lost a lot of reading time - I don't read any entries until mine is done.

I'll start in the morning. A cup of coffee and some ghosts....

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

I'm the same way! I have to finish mine before I can read anyone elsees :-)

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Wow, I am up against some good ones. Good luck everyone!

[superhappytime.livejournal.com]

That's not what you told me...what about that email earlier where you said you were going to "destroy all those little leaguers?"

[winterberries.livejournal.com]

Oh dear! ::sends Puffs Plus, NyQuil, and some of those Luden's cough drops that have no medicinal efficacy but that taste like candy and are therefore one of the few advantages to having a cold::

Also, have a teddy bear. He is nice and wants to cheer you up and cure your cold.

[kf4vkp.livejournal.com]

Go team Ewok!!

[chazari.livejournal.com]

Team EWOK rules! The other teems drool!

[elderwoodpixie.livejournal.com]

*small voice* Uh oh.


There's some pretty heavy hitters in my tribe. Ah well, it'll be fun while it lasts. I haven't done this much writing in years and I'm grateful for the chance to stretch.

I would also like to take this opportunity to request genuine, constructive criticism from all willing readers. Not just on grammar and spelling but anything concerning the writing or choice of content would be very much appreciated. Antagonistic comments on subject matter are not invited.

I don't know how long I've got but I want to make the best of it.

[ckocher.livejournal.com]

I feel exactly as you do. ;-)

Hey, Ewok!

[rosepurr.livejournal.com]

Thanks for having me! :)

Re: Hey, Ewok!

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

*smiles* Always. :^)

[jfargo.livejournal.com]

I'm kind of surprised at which group I ended up in. Hmm. Definitely curious about the choosing process.

[thepheenixeyri.livejournal.com]

I ended up where I wanted to be. Yea!

::will need to read later.:: I dunno how I'm going to get everything done. Tomorrow's the start of nanowrimo, and I would really like to read stuff. :(

We're playing Halloween themed Mad Libs in my lj if anyone else here wants to play - today is the last day for the game (http://brightflashes.livejournal.com/414666.html).

: )

[supremegoddess1.livejournal.com]

This is awful - there are more that I voted for in my own tribe than in any of the others!

And because I'm evil, my vote counts -
ewok's tribe - 11 votes
rm's tribe - 10 votes
spydie's tribe - 9 votes
technophile's tribe - 19 votes

[solstice-singer.livejournal.com]

I'm in pretty much the same boat. I ended up voting for a ton of people in my own tribe. (Sigh) I guess we're just amazing, right? (Grin)

[hightekvagabond.livejournal.com]

Now that I'm out I don't feel as compelled to read every single entry by every single person Like I've done in previous weeks. And I have waaaaaaaaay too much work to do right now......

Although, it is funny, now that I'm not thinking about entries for LJI anymore I'm getting more marketing copy written for my businesses. :) This has been the best week for copy in several weeks for me.

So... Instead I will probably wait until Monday morning and read the bottom 10% and vote on them to protect those from elimination that I'd like to protect because at that point votes for the others are just for their egos.

Other then the old "if everyone did that voting wouldn't work" excuse (since I'm not everyone and I doubt many others will do that) can anyone see a flaw in that voting strategy?

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

interesting how the tribes came out, if technophile did not send in a list (in a previous greenroom he said he was not going to), then that means all of his tribe are people that were not picked by the others.

Of course he could have changed his mind.

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

Looks like nobody wanted us for dodgeball huh :(

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

*hopes that everyone likes their tribes*

[morning-stand.livejournal.com]

I was surprised where I ended up. A lot of people that were in my other tribe are also in this tribe with me.

[genesisdesire.livejournal.com]

For anyone who wanted it, I updated my entry with the ghost tour report.

(And so far, the vote is not looking good for me. Sigh.)
