Results - and our first run off!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

What an exciting first week vote!!!

Unfortunately though, we do have to say goodbye to 3 of you.

The first two are celrock and deuceloosely!!! I was surprised to see that to be honest.

The third? Well, that is a three way tie!!

Which means we go to Gold Stars. None of the 3 have one.


So we go to a 24 hour run off.

The poll opens now and will go until Nov 13 at 1pm EST. Whoever has the least amount of votes at that point will go home. Go remember to vote to keep in your favorites!!

Did some votes come in after 1pm? According to the polls, Mert and Forceworks have 24 and Taybar 23?

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

they must have. I literally ran to the computer to be here when the clock hit "1" so I could look at the numbers, because I knew that match was close.

Must have. I think that's something LJ can implement in their polling. An Expiration Date on the poll. IE, you can vote on this poll up until such and such time. come to think of it.. I'm going to put that into the suggestion box.

Well I already voted...

Good luck to all three. Hate to see any of you go. :(

Farewell to celrock and dueceloosely! Stay around for the home game!

Should the three in the runoff go ahead an post their entries, or should they wait until the runoff is done?

[rebelsheart]

No at this time, no.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Honestly? I'd play it by ear. If I thought that it would help me, by showing people that I wanted to stay in, I'd do it. If not, well, then I'd wait and see.

[mert-mt-bc.livejournal.com]

I figured I would wait until the runoff is over just to keep from being another link that people don't need to read amongst the horde, but if it will help me, I'll do it today.

Anyone else's thoughts?

[mert-mt-bc.livejournal.com]

This is already shaping up to be a close one!

[40sw.livejournal.com]

you can always go ahead and write it for the sake of writing it & then just post the link to it after you know you're still in?

[kindapoetry.livejournal.com]

(This will sound negative, and I don't mean it that way.) You can delete your comment after entering your post if you felt that it cluttered things after the runoff.

As for whether to post or not, I guess that's an individual thing, I'd say go for it, certainly can't hurt! :)

Perhaps you should have put all the newbies in one tribe together

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

deuceloosely was a veteran and the person with the most votes oveall was a "newbie".

[sushimustwrite.livejournal.com]

I suppose voting for all three of them would dilute my vote, wouldn't it? :)

[jennieknits.livejournal.com]

Technically... yes. ;) But who really cares?

[deuceloosely.livejournal.com]

Man, I guess my entry wasn't very good or something. And I had such high hopes for this "season." :(

...home game?

Home Game explanation:

There is nothing stopping a non-contestant from writing on a topic and then posting in the GREEN ROOM that he or she has done so.

It is a way to continue to participate, and show us what we are missing.

[psst. I made an icon for it, if you look here: http://spydielives.livejournal.com/2007/11/05/]

[steve98052.livejournal.com]

I had thought that was there already, but I looked and it seems it wasn't. I wonder whether there's a way to close it without disrupting the counts, with some sort of small manual edit.

How's this one?

*points to userpic*

:P

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I had a thought: make the POLL private (or filtered to just those who have to see the original), but post pictures of the results.

I am not sure if this thwarts direct links or not, but it could be tested.

Grrrrr. That's what I hate about this competition, that inevitably a majority of us will feel like this.
