VOTE! Week 9

A few words from [livejournal.com profile] clauderainsrm:
This week we opened up and picked at a few scars. Anyone who hasn’t gone down the voting list and read each and every entry – well, you are really missing out. I always recommend that people read as many entries as they can, but this week, I really don’t think you can go wrong with just about all of them. Some really top notched writing from some very brave people.

That said, we have to get rid of 4 of them this week. Just the way this thing is played.

Before we do that though, we have the business of the two immunities handed out last week. The people who won them could not keep them for themselves and had to award them before this poll was posted.

Which means they are the only two people completely safe this week – they are:

[livejournal.com profile] unsold_capacity gave her immunity to [livejournal.com profile] cheapdestiny

And

[livejournal.com profile] wbahner gave his immunity to [livejournal.com profile] tdarling

So congratulations to the two of you, and I hope you manage to thank your benefactors appropriately.

With that out of the way, we just have the details.

As I said, there are 4 people leaving us at the end of this vote. The two lowest votes from each tribe will be leaving – and two people total will be getting our next limited immunity. But will it be handed out the same way? Well that will be announced Monday.

As for the vote, it starts now and concludes on Monday Jan 14th at 1pm EST. So make sure you vote for as many of your favorites as you can. Otherwise they might not be here next week!

Good luck to everyone!

You are very welcome ^^

I have to agree with [livejournal.com profile] kithan here. This weeks entries were marvelous. It is the first week where I'd read every single one before voting began.

I daresay, people are really stepping up to the plate here. This is some of the best stuff yet.

Good luck all! :)

*whimper* I won't be around the compie much this weekend. I hope my sanity lasts until Monday! :^(

I think it's neat to see how tight the numbers are getting as our group grows smaller and smaller. Intimidating to say the least!

[identity profile] spydielives.livejournal.com 2008-01-11 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Finally!

Read, voted, and recommendation list up.

Can I go dance now? Pleeeeeaaase?

Only if I get to join in! *shakes a tail feather*

What's a girl gotta do to get some special powers 'round here?

[identity profile] sushimustwrite.livejournal.com 2008-01-12 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'm all for that.

[identity profile] tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com 2008-01-12 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
If you insist!

I just wanted to say, I loved the entries this week. I think more of them brought me to tears than any other topic and there were some incredible light-hearted pieces, too. I laughed, I cried, all that good stuff. Most of all I noticed some fantastic writing; there are some truly talented folks in here. It's nice to be able to start picking out the individual styles of different writers as I read week after week.

Thank you all for contributing; I'm so happy to be a part of this and have such wonderful pieces of art to read!

I am with you on this... I was floored by some of the talent I saw this week... and I am also beginning to get a feel for who is who by the flavor of their posts...

Great stuff this week!

[identity profile] johnmill79.livejournal.com 2008-01-12 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I keep trying to change my style a bit, but that's more difficult than perhaps it should be. I hadn't known I had so many stories. lol

[identity profile] desert-rose.livejournal.com 2008-01-12 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
Good luck everyone! I think it's going to be another really close one!

I won't be around much as tomorrow we're off to my favourite area the Yarra Valley, so I'll leave the Cheetos, Pepsi, bacon and cookies for you all now, and think about voting for me while you are munching away if you haven't already. :)

Happy birthday Lacombe

[identity profile] desert-rose.livejournal.com 2008-01-12 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
I wanted to try and be first at something, and as I'll hopefully be off in dreamland when the next greenroom opens, I'm going to wish [livejournal.com profile] lacombe a happy birthday in here.


So wishing you a most excellent birthday!

Let the celebrations begin! :)

These entries mark the highest concentration of the use of the word "indelible" that I have ever seen.

[identity profile] mme-furiosa.livejournal.com 2008-01-12 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
You are so right! As I typed "indelible" again and again, I began to note it's uncanny closeness to word "inedible"

[identity profile] sushimustwrite.livejournal.com 2008-01-12 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
But at least these entries weren't inedible!

[identity profile] mme-furiosa.livejournal.com 2008-01-12 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
No, in fact, much like your moniker, many of them were downright delectable!

I had to take a bye this week - I lost my job last week and have focused my life on the hunt. I haven't even done homework, that's how obsessive I've been about it...

[identity profile] mme-furiosa.livejournal.com 2008-01-12 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I am so sorry for you...that is really stressful. I hope things look up soon!

[identity profile] lordrexfear.livejournal.com 2008-01-12 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Man, this voting thing gets harder and harder. At least there's SOMETHING I can vote on since I won't be allowed to vote in either upcoming primary (as I don't want to declare a party in this state of New York).

[identity profile] sircaliban.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
See that sucks..

In ohio, you walk up to the polls and you decide which party you want to vote for. You tell the poll workers which party's primary you want to participate in. Which means if you want to vote in the republican primary one election and then the democrat primary in another election.. that's up to you and it's not binding.. they don't put you on a mailing list or anything.

[identity profile] chite.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It's very similar in Virginia. Only, generally you do somehow manage to get on mailing lists.

[identity profile] ewok-626.livejournal.com 2008-01-14 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
In PA, you have to be pre-registered to vote. You can go to any governmental place (Social Security Office, Post Office, City Hall, etc) and pick up an applicationi or you can do it on the state's website. But you have to do it at least one month before the election or else you have to wait until the next election.

[identity profile] unsold-capacity.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Wooow, the votes in Tribe 2 are all really, really similar. It's weird going down the list and seeing the same numbers for almost everyone...

[identity profile] ewok-626.livejournal.com 2008-01-14 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
5 more minutes!!! *insert freak out here*

F5!

DAMMIT, F5!!!!
