Results - Week 14

I spun the wheel to see how many people would be eliminated this week. It came up as 1.

Which, in this context, it's 1 from each poll. So we lose 2.

But as I was putting together the polls I noticed there were 2 sacrifices!

muchtooarrogant and

bleodswean

Which would mean those 2 are eliminated.

But I want to make sure people are reading and commenting. So I'm going to give you a couple days to read and comment on these awesome entries before we move forward! https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1208099.html

Week 14 - The Accusation

The numbers are quickly dwindling and the suspects are becoming fewer. We are gathered here today to name names and to accuse one of you assembled here today of being a Killer!

II just checked the list to make sure this was correct, but it looks like the ONLY vote for this person cast for this entire season was last week. Which is pretty remarkable.

Collectively, the residents of Idol Manor accuse

legalpad819 of being a Killer!!!

There is no sound. No laughter. No light. The amulet in her hand does not glow to release the evil inside. That was used to save her back in Week 12!!

Instead, she just drops to the ground, eliminated from the competition. She lived as a Killer. She died as a Killer.

***

She drinks it, and immediately starts feeling her energy being restored!

****
The group gives the antidote to l0lita. She drinks it, and immediately starts feeling better!!
A life has been saved!

***
Today is a great day for the heroes! A life saved and a Killer exposed and eliminated from the game!

It's truly a great day for... oh no,

unicornfartz slumps over and falls to the ground, dead.

The Wheelhouse - Week 14

Good Morning,

Well, it's far too early for it to be "good", but "Morning" at least!

The new twist is up: therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1207947.html and so are the prompts  https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1208099.html

I've already gotten a question about the prompt situation so I'll clear it up here. YES. It's 2 entries. NO, it's not 1 entry where you incorporate both, unless, I dunno, you want to write 2 entries where you incorporate both. :D
No, if not a pick one of the other. It's 2 entries.
That's why you have a week. Well that, and my schedule. :D If the Wheel had chosen 5, yes, I would have given you even more time! (Although let's be honest - a week for 2 entries by traditional old school Idol standards is pretty good.)

I've had a few people ask about my arm after that blood donation. It's healing. Still is bruised and a little tender. I did have it confirmed this weekend by a friend who was a former nurse that this wasn't normal. She agreed with the theory that my boss raised that the needle was dislodged and went through my vein. Otherwise I would NOT have been in that much pain and wouldn't have the bruising I do.

So now I need to accuse someone in Idol of paying them extra to do that! :D

THE FEST was amazing. Because it's always amazing. <3

How was YOUR weekend?

Prompts- Week 14

Twist Reveal - Week 14 (and the Week 13 tie)

*spins wheel* TWIST!

OK. Nice. But WHAT twist?

*spins the wheel again*

Multiple topics (random number generator 2-5 to determine how many)

Oh that's fun! I get to spin the wheel again!!

Oh come on, just 2?

Where's that Chekov's Gun? I want to shoot this wheel! ;)

***

There was a 5 way tie for the person with the fewest votes who wasn't eliminated. So I need to ask the Wheel how that will be handled. It came up as "Wheel Decides Who Is Eliminated", which in THIS case means that the wheel will select 1 of you to receive those 2 byes to hand out.

Who will it be? This isn't as suspenseful for you as it is for me, since I write these in real time!

4. *counts* Congratulations

hafnia ! Let me know where you want those 2 byes to go.

***
btw - Not sure if I mentioned it, but a vial WAS found this week. So make sure to send in your accusation and who you want to give the antidote to!

Results - Week 13

I just got back from FEST in time for my therapy session and then to come close this poll! :)

(well OK, I posted a few things on FB too! But still, the point stands!)

There was one person going home this week and it's

legalpad819 !

Sorry to see you g... what are you doing? Why do you have gun? What are you.... oh... BAM!!!!

She just shot her own elimination with Chekov's Gun!!! The elimination is now dead.

(and the gun, having been used, disappears)

Database maintenance

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

Voting - Week 13

A few words from

clauderainsrm:

Another week, another poll! *spins wheel, watches as it goes by* We are losing 1 contestant this week! Apparently the Wheel is deciding to drag this out! :D Maybe it likes torturing you.

The poll will be closing Monday, October 27th at 8pm ET. I’ll be at FEST (as is usual for this time of year. So long time for voting, probably a shorter window for writing next week… or an extra long one! Who knows! The Wheel hasn’t told me yet!!)

Good luck to everyone!

Week 13 - The Accusation

Another week and another shot at ending the evil plans of the Killer(s)!

First, let's dispense the antidote. This is now voted for by everyone left in the competition. Which makes it more interesting to see where everyone else is looking for potential targets. The vote wasn't even close this time around - the antidote goes to

inkstainedfingertips - who enjoys a refreshing beverage. But not much else other than that.

The vote for the Killer was even more lopsided. Every single vote, except two (for different people), that came in all identified the same person. That diabolical mastermind who has been pulling the strings, and killing off the competition one by one!

The group have finally come together in the strongest possible way to accuse

muchtooarrogant of being a Killer!

The silence feels the room as people wait for what will come next... the next dramatic exposure...

and they wait... and wait... and then start swearing because the Killer(s) got away from them one more time!
