All the News that's Print to Fit...wait

 Writers have until Thursday to get their entries in!  therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1209672.html

 But that also means they have until then to get in their accusations on who the Killer(s) is/are!  I just had to go back and reread the post where I announced the Killers, because there was a detail I was remembering but It sounded like something I DIDN'T end up implementing.  After checking, I was right. It's not a "real" thing... but it might have been fun. 

The idea was that the Killers would keep up their roles until the Top 5.  Which is still the case.  The "extra that got dropped" is that any Killers who made it undetected to the Top 5 automatically won the game!  :D  Which would have put a LOT more pressure on the rest of you to find them!! As is, it's just that once you get to the Top 5, or you expose all of them, they stop being Killers and resume their normal roles in the game, bleeding back in, and retired from their murderous ways!!

How is your weekend going? 

We have a twist - finding your opponent. People have been impatiently waiting for the prompt to be posted, expecting me to spin the Wheel. But that's not the case this time. This time the prompt was built into the structure of the twist. I just needed to verify with the Wheel that my interpretation of how this would work is how it actually does.... for the record, I was correct!

***

So, what is your prompt? Take a look at your opponent's TWO entries from last week: therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1208099.html


You are going to be using those are springboards for YOUR entry this week. It's basically just another version of "reinterpret an entry from a competitor" deal, but with two entries that you need to shape into something of your own!!

This will either be a lot of fun or a complete trainwreck! I'm here for it either way!!!

The deadline to link your entry to this thread is Thursday, November 13th at 7pm ET

Have fun!!

 I'll be spinning the wheel tomorrow for the new twist and prompt. 

Honestly, I'm considering pushing the plunger down to proceed to end game from here. That might just be where my own head is at right now, and how busy I am.  The Wheel may just end it for me soon anyway, we don't have a lot of contestants left!

Just wanted to make SURE people know that although there is a possibility of people coming back into the game, that the Wheel could just never land there again, or I could push that plunger and then no one comes back.  So please make sure to be saying your goodbyes when you have the chance. therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1209016.html    therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1208631.html

I know there's a lot going on, but a big part of being a community is coming together to acknowledge each other.  I hope that continues. 

Speaking of - make sure you are reading and commenting on the entries for this week: therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1209016.html   The sacrifices negated the need for a poll. (and honestly, I need to buy some more time for my paid account anyway.  :D  So it was good timing!)

I spent the last couple days in Miami hanging out with an Idoler! (dreamsreflected) from (checks spreadsheet) Seasons 9, 10 and mini seasons A, B and Friends and Rivals!  It's always a lot of fun to meet people who have been impacted by their time in Idol.   If you're going to be anywhere near me - or if I'm coming to somewhere around you, let's meet up! Or send me an email and just check in.  She reminded me that I've been more and more distant as the years go by.  It started as a defense against people who thought I was playing favorites (I wasn't) but then it became the standard, arms-length relationships. Which is a shame. Idol started out as something to entertain myself, and my friends. If you are here, you are my friends. :) 

*rereads that last sentence* And no, I'm not drunk.  :D 

How are YOU doing? 

 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.
