For those of you waiting for confirmation emails from me – don’t worry, they are coming later today. I have about 10 of them currently sitting in my inbox from the last 24 hours. If you sent it *before* that… well, then there might be a problem! ;)

For those of you *not* waiting for confirmation emails – what’s wrong with you???

Well, let’s be real – that “what’s wrong with you” pretty much applies to anyone who comes around here for any length of time! ;)

I will remind people though – because there seems to be a little confusion: there are THREE DIFFERENT sets of voting going on… the poll: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/595911.html, Gatekeepers, and the contestant/Home Gamer for Week 36 only.

How do you know if you are eligible to vote in any of these?

The poll: Are you a member of the community? No? Then join it. Now you are. I’ve seen LJ remove some votes in the past when you leave the community – so I’d stick around after the fact. (There was someone a few weeks ago advocating the “join, vote and leave” strategy. I know some people don’t want an extra group on their feed… and so it seems like a way of easing them into the process… but the whole point is getting fresh faces through the door. Which means I’m not a fan of that tactic.)

Gatekeepers – Have I emailed you about being a Gatekeeper? Yes. Then you are one. Did I not? Then you are not. It’s not personal, and there’s no sign up list. I appreciate the interest. But it’s not to be right now. However, you *can* still vote in the community only poll http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/595911.html and potentially in the Contestant Only one! (see below)

Contestant Only/Home Gamers vote – Are you a current contestant? Yes? Then you can vote. No? Did you submit a Home Game entry for Week 36? Yes? Then you can vote! No? Sorry, you are not eligible to vote in that particular poll. However, you *can* still vote in the community only poll http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/595911.html !

Did you go to college thanks to Social Security benefits after losing your Father – but now want to make sure that no one else can do that by cutting them? You may not be eligible for a special poll, but you could potentially be VP!

What's wrong with me? People have been asking that for ages...

But my votes will be in this evening since I'll be at work until the deadline tomorrow (story of my life...)

No worries, I'm voting. Have I ever missed a contestant-only vote? I don't think so! I need to finish reading. Since I read most as they went up (without commenting much), it's just about reading a few more.

This whole voting thing scares me :/

This voting thing scares me too. I finished reading this afternoon! Now to wait...

What scares me the most is the regular poll is likely to be a pimp war at this point (which I'm not bashing pimping, it's allowed and I'll try to fight too) and I can't keep up, I'm afraid. I don't have the alliances that others might :/

I suck at strategy and that's going to hurt me I'm afraid.

Same goes with contestant only where I feel strategy is going to come into play....

So yeah, I'm pretty effing terrified.

Heh, I don't think I have the alliances that others might, either. And I have always kind of sucked at strategy.

This whole thing is 31 flavors of terrifying no matter which way you look at it.

Precisely. This is terrifying on so many levels....

And it would mean the absolute world to me if I could make it to the finals :/

Me too! Although it means the absolute world to me that I've gotten this far, too. :D

Oh totally! I'm so happy and pleased I made it this far without having to pimp like crazy to get here. It's the first season I really haven't had to pimp much.... Just started recently. That makes me feel good about myself that people had liked me enough to vote for me :)

I haz low self-esteem issues, this has been a great season for me in so many ways. Regardless of what happens.

So who has all these mysterious alliances??? Obviously Java and Pixie support each other (they'd be a pretty poor couple if they didn't!) but where are these super sekkrit alliances that are controlling the direction of the polls? I feel out of the loop!

I have no idea! Pixie was the one who mentioned the sekrit alliances. I know a couple of the people left were good friends with each other going in but other than that, no clue. ;-)

Who they? I only knew the vets left coming into the games - the newbies are, well, new :D
