A few words from clauderainsrm:
Hello, and Welcome to Week 1 of LJ Idol, Season 10

From the FAQ - "Some people vote as they read, so they'll vote for part of a tribe, save it, and then go in and edit the poll to finish voting for the tribe. This is risky because sometimes when you go in to edit, the LJ gods eat all your previously recorded votes except the first one at the top of the poll. This is why even the spreadsheet-phobic should keep a list of the people they are voting for in each poll. If you don't re-vote for people when your votes get eaten, their vote count will go down when you save your edit. If you don't want to un-vote for people, make a list."

In case anyone is now saying, "Oh, that's why people use a spreadsheet," lrig_rorrim linked one here, and kehlen_crow linked one here.

People have joined since they were posted, so you'll have to add some names to whichever poll you copy.

Finally--after all of these years! Blake is kind of out of fashion, I suppose, but I love him.

That's a lot of byes for Week 1.

16 in Tribe 1 and a massive 25 in Tribe 2... that could instantly play a factor in who survives this first week.

I know a few of those folks joined at the last minute and probably didn't realize there was an entry due...

I'm planning on having a special post this weekend where I let them know that they are still in. Because I get *a lot* of emails after Week 1 that assume that they missed the deadline and so they are out. I've even gotten a few (in that past) that assume that since they didn't see the first topic right away that it meant we decided NOT TO DO IT.

Honestly, it's one of the things I've been nervous about with the slow start, because I've seen that reaction. It's why I've been trying to get out in front of it with constant reminders. But if you're not following the community, you still might miss things like that...

Oooops I just missed the deadline. I thought it was Thursday .... Grrrrr !!!

Spreadsheet update

[kathrynrose]

I just went through and updated my spreadsheet with all the late adds. If you're comfortable copying a column of data in your sheet, you can benefit from my labor. :)
