Vote - Week 13

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

A few words from clauderainsrm:

It's Week 13.

Do you know where your entries are?

They are right here.

Seriously, you should know where to find them by now!!

There has been a minor re-alignment down to a 2 tribe system. So the old 1 and 2 are now Tribe 1 and the old 3 and 4 are now Tribe 2.

Which means the old merch you bought at the table in the lobby needs to be replaced!

It also means that we will be eliminating the two contestants with the lowest votes from each tribe this week.

Before we kick things off though, we have our traditional announcement of the drops/byes. This week (today actually) nyxocity ended up dropping. Which is another of the newbies that people were saying that we would be seeing deep into the game. I thought that was going to be likely. That's not the plans Real Life had though.

As for bye-outs, this week there were ZERO. So, good job everyone! It makes life more interesting this way!

I already announced the number of contestants we were losing, and the change in the poll set-up, so nothing more to do here than to say that they will be closing Tuesday Feb 15th at 9pm EST and, of course, Good luck to everyone!

Yikes, down to only two tribes now! It really shows how far along into the season we've already come.

And boo hiss to nyxocity leaving us! :(

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

I second the boo hiss - will miss nyxocity!!

[nyxocity.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks :) I will be around though. And there's always next year!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

I still look for alexpgp on the list ):

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

me too :( I feel lonely without his name next to mine lol

[lawchicky.livejournal.com]

Me too!

[vaguelyclear.livejournal.com]

Two tribes and four people leaving? *bites nails*

Sorry that nyxocity had to drop :( You were one of my favourites.

[nyxocity.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you :) I'm sad I had to drop, too. There's always next year.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Last week 8 people left - 4 ain't nothing compared to that! Plus the tribes are larger, so you have a better chance of surviving the polls. *phew*

[nyxocity.livejournal.com]

I hated to have to drop, but work and life have been a pair of tag-teaming bears lately, and things at work are just getting more intense. I wish all the best to you all, and I hope to try to follow along and read and vote when I can. It's been a blast! Thank you! :)

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Booooooooooooooooo!!!!! I hate that you had to drop. Seriously. Hope you stick around though. :-(

[tentaclecore]

Total sadface about you dropping, but totally understand your reasons. I'm really close to dropping myself, just because of life taking over. BOO, LIFE. BOO.

It's been fun reading your entries, and I hope I see you around ♥

[team-jessie.livejournal.com]

I'm really sorry to see you go! You were a consistent favorite of mine!

[snarkerdoodle.livejournal.com]

I am so sad that you won't be continuing, as I loved so many of your pieces, but certainly understand that you've got to put your energy where it's needed most. I hope the bears settle down a bit soon for you... ;)

[applespicy.livejournal.com]

Loved reading your entries - you are an excellent writer with a great style! I hope you can come back next season :) All the best.

[dreamchaser.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry you had to drop :( I hope you can follow along whenever you can!!!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Sorry that work and life have been beating you down! Keep popping into the GR when you can, and there's always the Home Game.

[lawchicky.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry you had to drop. I've really enjoyed your entries.

[hammaboo.livejournal.com]

You, my dear? Are awesome. I will miss your idol entries but love knowing that I can see your writing regularly.

[snarkerdoodle.livejournal.com]

The counts for this week:

Tribe 1 -- 38 live entries (0 byes, 38 contestants)
Tribe 2 -- 44 live entries (6 byes, 50 contestants)


Total number of contestants as of the polls in this post (not counting SCI'ers who will join us next week): 88.

[black-aspect.livejournal.com]

Egads, new tribes! Does this mean I have to rearrange my reading ritual to read everyone's posts before the polls close? Will I have to make new friends? Do I have to have the "Tribe One 4 Lyf" tattoo I just had dermabraded put back on?!

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Weren't you in tribe 2 last week anyway?

Never mind, I read your comment too quickly :P What you said is actually quite amusing.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Noooooooooo!

nyxocity, I looked forward to your entries every week!

I understand all too well about the RL stuff :( But please, don't be a stranger -- visit us when you can!

[nyxocity.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! :) I have no intention of being a stranger and plan to read and vote when I can. And hopefully in a couple of weeks time will allow for me play the home game sometimes.

[majesticarky.livejournal.com]

wow just two tribes! I'm kinda surprised.

[awriterswindow.livejournal.com]

So bummed about nyxocity leaving us. I loved your writing! I hope you can play the home game from time to time, though...you have such talent.

I can't believe we have two tribes left! Yikes!

[nyxocity.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks so much :) I really appreciate that! Hopefully in a couple of weeks I can find some time to home game it.

I'm so impressed with this :) (Not that I haven't read them all, but I didn't get around to making a list!)
