I said that we would be eliminating the bottom six contestants this round. But I funny thing happened on the way to the end of the poll: we had a tie for the last spot!

So, instead of just eliminating both of them, I am going to put them through their paces. So, [livejournal.com profile] everywordiwrite and [livejournal.com profile] shadowwolf13, you have a special TIE-BREAKER TASK!

You have to meet BOTH the Second Chance and Main Competition deadlines. It’s If you both can do it, you both stay in. If one falls, the other stays in. If you both miss one of the deadlines, you are eliminated from the main competition and will be a part of the Second Chance crowd!

I’m not sure if that’s the “Good News” or the “Bad News”.

Which is kind of what the rest of the announcement is, after all - it’s bad that they have been eliminated from the main competition, but as part of Second Chance Idol, they will still be around and have a shot at getting back into the action!

So, goodbye (for now) to:

Frist?

Ooh, apparently yes!

Again, some of my favorite stories of the week wound up in that list. :(

I'm looking forward, though, to seeing how SCI folds into all of this.

For some reason that made me think of Ben Folds Five... like "SCI Folds Five," LOL.

I think this whole mini-season is going to be like that. The competition is too stiff to not see favorites go every week.

Yay frist!

I spent like an hour refreshing the poll watching other people before I made myself get offline and go fetch dinner.

Well, that's a nifty tie-breaker idea! Sorry to see the rest of you got to SCI!

And then there were 57... + or - 2.

I just had a flashback to my childhood, playing baseball, and at the end, high-fiving everyone (my team and the opposing team) going "good game!"

I kind of feel like that each round. Like, no matter who stays and who goes, we still had a good game.

Word - everyone here really tries to bring it each week!

This is my "high five" icon, LOL.

Is there anything you don't have a great icon for? I love them!
Let's go Tie-Breakers, you can do it!!

I have almost 280 icons... it's a little bit of an addiction, LOL.

Do you ever use other icons? ;)

I am content with the myna. She works for me. (In truth, I don't even know HOW to do them.)

Oh, I don't make the majority of my icons - there are TONS of icon communities on LJ. One of my favorites is [livejournal.com profile] iconriot. He's got lots of good stuff. You just browse through the icons, right click on the ones you like and "save as" to your computer and change whatever file name comes up to something you'll remember, like "Bird icon" or "Heart icon" or whatever. Write down the name of the person/community who created it so you can give credit to them in the icon field.

Go to the link that says "Your Userpics", You'll see where it says Upload New Userpics. Click the Browse button and select the icon you just saved (ie: Bird icon). In the box that says Keywords, type in whatever you want to call the icon (ie: Cardinal), and in the comment field type the name of the icon maker, (ie: [livejournal.com profile] iconriot). Voila, you're done! You now have more than one icon (although I see you actually have two). Easy peasy!

Wow1 Thanks for the info and the instruction. I will copy this and save it for future reference. It'll be fun to just go look at them even if i decided not to use any. :)

I've got a few icon communities added to my Flist, it's fun to just look through them every now and then, see what strikes your fancy!

You're welcome!

....And now I've got shit from "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" stuck in my head.

Good week, everyone! Things are certainly heating up :) Surprised I managed to stay in; this week's entry was not my A game.

there are worse things to have in your head!

(and yeah.. I feel the same about my piece)

That's very true! And since I don't have a copy of the film, I am REALLY tempted to bust out I Claudius and watch that instead... No, self, you have to be up at 330 central time.... Not allowed.

SERIOUSLY. I checked the polls yesterday and winced, just KNOWING I was going to be eliminated.... We got our butts handed to us on shift today, and lo and behold, I managed to survive pretty well. Go everyone who made it, and go everyone who's now in Second Chance! Woo!

Holy crap, I stayed in? O_O Shocker to me! Wow, good game everyone! Well done, that was quite the week there. Looking forward to next week. :) Definitely.

Good luck in SCI to those that missed this week, and good luck to the tie breakers. O_O I really don't envy you, my goodness. o.o

See? That's my exact feeling!

If only we Ruled The World and other people's opinions. Then things would be different!

Date: 2013-02-12 03:01 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] sweeny-todd.livejournal.com
Then it would be a tie break for everyone, then everyone would join second chance, or tribe redemption, or what ever the latest new fangled adventure was :)

You keep threatening, and yet, has it every happened?

It's your game and your rules, so you definitely could. Be awful to be one of the first eliminated, though!

Wow! Good luck, [livejournal.com profile] everywordiwrite and [livejournal.com profile] shadowwolf13! It's a difficult task, but I believe you can both meet those deadlines.

I'm looking forward to the next topic(s) and glad I don't have to meet two deadlines! AW

Date: 2013-02-12 03:30 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pixiebelle.livejournal.com
So long as they meet both deadlines with something, they aren't in a tie-breaker poll, right? They're just back in?

Them they both can do it! I know they can.

Sorry to see everyone go, good luck in SCI!

They'll probably be up against everyone in the main poll, though, I'd imagine.

Date: 2013-02-12 04:55 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pixiebelle.livejournal.com
That's what I thought. They just won't have a tiebreaker poll like they have in the past. As long as they get something in for both, they'll be in the main poll. They can do it :)

Date: 2013-02-12 06:40 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] jem0000000.livejournal.com
Yep! Two entries is tough, but I think they've done it before... most of us have, I imagine. And they'll have all of us cheering them on! :)

Bad news, I'm off to SCI.

Good news - I don't have to deal with the main idol topic! LOL

I'm sad to leave on this week, being as I thought I had a good idea, it just wasn't fleshed out the way I would have liked to. But, I'm going to TRY to stay in SCI and see that through. Second "season" in a row that I haven't byed out, so I'm going to try to keep that up with SCI. (Gary, you couldn't have picked a WORSE time of year for me, bro! :) )

I don't know. In terms of the contest, probably? In terms of motivation to write more things, probably not? Weirdness is so relative these days....
