Elimination and run-offs!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

It's that time again. Time to say goodbye to one of our own.

From Tribe 3 we say goodbye to shadowwolf13. Which, once again, I find myself surprised by the outcome. But as always, that's why we play the game, because anything can happen.

Thank you for playing and I hope you decide to stick around! You'll be missed.

From Tribe 1 we are eliminating... um... ok.

How about from Tribe 2 we have... wait, another tie?

Well, ok. We have two ties that need to be resolved.

Voting starts now and ends tomorrow at 1pm EST. Remember to vote to keep your favorites in the hunt!

results viewable to all?

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

His game.

At least I have an easy criteria to justify my vote...

(I think)

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Sure.


1. I compared the entries. If they had the same grade then
2. I took an average of the person's entries to date. If that matched then
3. I looked for a "participation score" that I keep.

The higher value got the vote.

[sushimustwrite.livejournal.com]

A participation score? Wow, that's intense.

There has to be an inverse relationship between participation score and life outside LJ Idol. ;)

[leinahtane.livejournal.com]

a "participation score"? as in being involved with the green room and such? Slightly unfair I would say. I cant really take part in green room with work 13 hour days and going to school. I'm not like some people who can LJ all day. Not saying you do, but I know of a few.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

No, that's fair - she is on LJ all day!*g*

She's only one person though and the score is just her own thing she does for her private use.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

And G doesn't even AGREE with me about some of the subjective values, since he has different interactions with players than I do.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Participation score is another one of those subjective things. It is not based solely on hanging in the GR.

If someone takes the time to comment on my entries, on other entries, provides feedback, points out typos, e-mails privately, uses chats, or generally adds something to the game more than just a post.

I choose to be on LJ some days, and not others. And this is only my measurement. It is almost like my personal gold-stars. The value only improves as the game progresses.

It will help me when deciding between two people who are on my friends list, if I am ever forced to do that.

As for why a subjective measurement, used as a last resort, is unfair... well... What other reasons might there be to choose one over another?

[uawildcatgrl.livejournal.com]

Me too...kinda.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

yes. Sometimes that's going to happen.

Keeps people on their toes.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Just checking.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Drat, wanted those to be links... oh well. That's what happens when you put me in charge of making with the clicky!!!

Good thing today isn't "post the poll" day. ;-)

[welfy.livejournal.com]

Man, I'm not even playing and *I'm* impatient for the topic, too!

[jennieknits.livejournal.com]

Especially if it's going to be due on Friday again. Not as big of a deal if we get longer, but my guess is that we've got to get back on schedule.

[angstzeit.livejournal.com]

I've been wondering about this. Does he have a sneaky plan to leave things off so we can get another long week at Christmas to get back on schedule?

[http://users.livejournal.com/astriana_/]

*is impatient to get writing on the new topic*

If only SOMEONE would post it... ;p

[flutterbychild.livejournal.com]

As of RIGHT NOW, the tribe 1 runoff is a frickin' TIE! OMG!

[shadowwolf13]

Aw drat :( But I'll stick around, especially as I'll have more time after the end of November. I may play the home game, but I'll certainly be back next year. Thanks for letting me play, it was fun. :D

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

It was fun having you! See you in the green room!

[shadowwolf13]

Thank you. :)

[toonhead.livejournal.com]

Even if I get eliminated I'll still play the home game. Now hopefully that won't happen, but even if I do I have to say this is a lot of fun and it really makes me stretch my creative muscles.

[leinahtane.livejournal.com]

*begs and pleads for your votes*

I'm trying to do better with writing, thus why I join this season. I believe Im doing well even though part of me screams 'you cant write!'

I'll still be around if I dont get to stay. Well, back to work for me just on lunch at the moment
