Week 5 - Twist Reveal

Last week I talked about removing one of the "No Twist" options.

But like all things, I couldn't do that on my own. I went to a random generated coin flip. Heads I removed a "no twist". Tails it stayed the way it was.

It came up tails. So the "No Twist" stayed on the board. This week. I'll ask again before the next time.

Then I asked the Wheel if there would be a twist... and of course it said NO.

(I then asked the Wheel, if there WAS a twist what it would be, and man that would have been a fun reveal!!! But I guess we will have that next time.)

So, no twist this week.

The antidote is once again in the hands of

xeena to determine what will happen with it.

and the castle was eerie and silent all night long, with no signs of any foul play. What are the Killer(s) up to??? Is it possible their ranks are growing?

Results - Week 4

The poll is closed, the votes are in, and this week we are unfortunately saying another sad goodbye.

Hopefully not for long, but at least for now.

Goodbye to... *checks poll* *checks email* *looks at poll again*

murielle

who sacrificed this week by throwing herself off the turret. It made quite a mess and the grounds crew is going to be quite busy for the next *looks at the mess* few days probably.

Thank you for coming out and I hope you will be able to resurrect sooner rather than later whenever things get less crazy in your life.

Vote - Week 4

A few words from

clauderainsrm:

The Killer(s) have claimed their first victim! https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1190785.html

But we must still go forward with a vote to determine who else will be leaving us this week!

It’s not going to be easy given how good the entries are this time around.

Now it’s all up to you - the voters! Read. Comment. Vote for your favorites!! You are the only ones who can save them! You can also determine who will receive the antidote that may stop the evil schemes of the Killer(s)!

That’s a lot of power, and also great responsibility. Use it well.

There will be (spins wheel) 1 person leaving us this week.

The poll closes Wednesday July 23rd at 8pm ET.

Good luck to everyone!

Week 4 - The Accusation

I'm glad that everyone could make it to this meeting. Before this poll is posted, we have some solemn business to attend to - there is a/are Killer(s) lose in this castle!! You are the only ones who are able to identify them and bring them to justice!!!

You have sent in your votes, and this time there were 9 different suspects. But the majority landed on a Killer being none other than

flipflop_diva

*cue dramatic music*

***
Now that is out of the way, we can get back to the business at han... wait, hey, are you OK? *someone falls to the ground with a thud* *screaming, lots and lots of screaming*

SOMEONE CALL A DOCTOR!!! SOMEONE CALL... oh, it's too late...

fausts_dream is dead. The Killer(s) have murdered him. The last Nullifier, the power to chance results and take out twists, is gone with him.

He did leave this final message though, a last entry in his Idol journal. Maybe there's a clue, or at least some solace for those he has left behind. fausts-dream.dreamwidth.org/7521.html

How has your weekend been going?

The Wheelhouse - Week 4

So much to talk about. Therapy has been going OK.

What I HAVEN’T told her, yet, is where to find the new prompt https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1189997.html

I also haven’t told her that Xeena has let me know who will be receiving the antidote. Did she save a life? Was it wasted? That’s not got me up tell.

I’m definitely not sure what my therapist would think of Killer(s) running around in my castle Or about the fact that I have a castle Or that in this friendly writing community, murder is afoot!!!

What would YOUR therapist (real or imagined) be shocked by?

Prompt - Week 4

Twist Reveal - Week 4

The wheel has landed on NO TWIST.

There are 2 "no twist" spots. I may have to remove one. ;) If nothing else, this should increase the odds of week after week of brutal twists coming!! Or, at least I can hope.

The Wheel may be on your side, at the moment, but the Killer(s) certainly is/are not!!! So make sure you send me your accusation before the next deadline!

Entry tags:

Results - Week 3

Another contestant has been poisoned. Fortunately, with

xeena has been given the antidote and will be able to administer that crucial life-saving elixir to someone. (she has until the new prompt deadline to send me her decision about who will be receiving it!)

***

The remaining contestants also have until then to send me their accusation on who they believe is a Killer/one of the Killers. Identifying them is the only way to stop their murder spree! So far, no one has dropped dead. But, if someone was completely healthy in Week 1, with no byes used, this would be the first week that someone could die. So I guess we will start seeing signs of their nefarious deeds.

***

Now comes the sad part, where we say goodbye to someone.

The good news is, as you know, that wheel keeps on spinning, so who knows where it is going to land and give people the chance to come back.

But for now, goodbye to

oxymoron67 thank you so much for coming out for this, and hope you will stick around, Home Game, and see what the wheel has it store next!

The Wheelhouse - Week 3 - Weekend Edition

Greetings from Ohio. I came up for two different family reunions. Well, one "Cousin's Day" and the other is a cookout because they were looking for an excuse to have one, and since I was coming up and no one has seen me in years, a lot of different subgroups of the family are coming together (so in other words, a "family reunion" but only one of them was planned years in advance!

Don't forget to read, comment and vote for your favorites? therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1188979.html

The trip so far has been nice at points, but emotionally rough. Definitely some difficult insights into family dynamics.

Such as, it turns out that yes, my Dad IS just weirdly distant from the kids, family and pretty much everyone. But he *specifically* doesn't like me and doesn't want to talk to me because he "can't understand a word (I) say" and is embarrassed by me. (Due to my stutter) Found that out from my siblings after they were drinking a lot and speaking candidly about the issues in the family. One of them had the courage to say it out loud (after I said that I was positive my Dad didn't like me) and no one contradicted him. Maybe I can finally stop trying to gain his approval! It's just one more reason to be glad that I started therapy and have a session that afternoon I get back (Tuesday)

***

How has YOUR week/weekend been going? Hopefully all of you are positive that I want to kick you!!! Because I do.
