Immunity

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

What was at stake in the last poll?

Nothing less than immunity. Not personal immunity - but the ability to hand it out to someone else.

From now until The Top 75 these individuals that you have selected will have the one time power to save the person of their choice from being eliminated (and thus the person with the next fewest votes will go)!

How did you select these contestants who will be receiving this power? Well, in a way - you didn't. They were *the three contestants with the least number of votes, overall, from the current contestant base.

Now though the people getting the least amount of attention are stepping into the spotlight, with the power to save *you*. Bet they get attention now!!!!*G*

They can not use the power to save themselves - however they can use it to save each other if they want to do so.

The ultimate underdogs now have the power in their hands.

The contestants selected to be able to hand out immunity are:

It's a mixed blessing I know. But now is the time to make the best of it. Use it wisely.

(***edit to add: It was CLOSE, two votes going in a different direction could have had four completely different names here. Just showing once again the importance of supporting each other)

Ah, the power! lol

[norda.livejournal.com]

Well played!

[ahavah]

I like these curve balls.

So the "make sure to support your favorites" was a misdirect, because supporting your favorites actually stopped them from getting the power.

Just out of curiosity, were the people who took byes included?

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, twisty! That's going to be interesting to watch pan out.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Yes, they were factored into the mix. . .

Well voting for your "favorites" kept them from being voted out, so I'm sure they don't mind.*g*

An interesting distinction, and a great twist to add into the game. Congratulations to the three winners, and I can't wait to see how it plays out.

Nice!

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Wow... Just wow. (I had thought this was going to come into play again. I just didn't realize it would be so soon!)

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Haha, I love that icon. ;)

[ahavah]

Thank you! Feel free to snag away.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Well, there is that. :P

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Hmmm
Should be interesting.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

We're going to be hitting 3 milestones very soon: Top 100, half-way contestant numbers wise and of course the 100 contestants eliminated mark. So yeah, things get more "interesting" from here.

Wow, there's an interesting wrinkle!

At what point in the proceedings is this done? Before the poll closes, or after?

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I'll spell it out more in detail. But because you asked and I happen to be around. . . it has to be assigned *before* the polls close.

They *can* dictate it's use however as in "If so and so needs it - use it to save them" though. They can make it a week to week decision or set standing orders for a specific individual. They can also, if they wish, choose to NOT use it to save anybody.

Was this solely on last week's poll or was it an accumulation of a few weeks? Otherwise it seems to have favoured those who took byes rather than being a reflection of popularity (or not as the case may be).

Not that it matters either way, I'm just curious :o)

i used to comment on mermaidkween's posts every week, but I don't think she noticed, and, plus who keeps commenting on LJ unless people return the favor? this place is quid pro quo, muthafuckas.

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

This is such a power i am glad I never get. I wouldn't know what to do with it!

[supremegoddess1.livejournal.com]

Interesting!

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure it was votes cast in the polls, not comments to the entries.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Veddy interesting! Congrats to the three Immunologists!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

and yet no one who took a bye is on that list. *g*

[mermaidkween.livejournal.com]

I don't always respond back to everyone unless it's necessary -- really, it seems so much less...human...to just throw out a "thanks!" to everyone. :( Sorry if that made you feel unloved.

[mermaidkween.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! I figured I'd end up leaving next week - what happens in that case? And how do I let you know who I'm saving?
