Results - Week 23

[clauderainsrm]

I was getting things ready for Week 23 a couple hours ago, pretty sure that I knew how this was going to end

I know you _like_ these run off run offs but I've always felt no one should be eliminated for not being able to write in a 24 hour deadline. Between sleep and work it's entirely possible a participant might not realize they're in it until 18 hours have already clicked by and then they could have plans that evening. We already lost lost_nepenthe to the 24 hour deadline and I really think they were one of the best new up and comers who knocked it out of the park with every entry. I really think you should at least trial fractional elimination in ties during a mini season.

I'm more likely to bring back The Black Mark (from Pirate Master) which I did use in a previous season to deal with ties.

Although I did recently come up with a way that the fractional elimination might fit a framework I've been playing with. So, who knows...

I vaguely recall the Black Mark - can you remind us about it?

[clauderainsrm]

If you ended up in a tie, you were given the Black Mark. (Well, there were other ways to get it, but for the sake of this example, let's stay on that one. :D)

If you ended up in another tie, the Black Mark was the deciding factor. (Whoever had the most were eliminated. Kind of like the opposite of Gold Stars. Think old school Survivor where ties were decided by who had the most votes against them.)

I'd prefer to let people have a chance to fight it out for survival.

Well, navel-gazey fiction almost got me eliminated last time, so let’s try a navel-gazey essay today!

...for varying levels of "sudden"...

[karmasoup]

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. :-/

[tonithegreat]

“I’m only mostly dead!”

[karmasoup]

Then it's still a little too early to go through your pockets and look for loose change! XD

[tonithegreat]

Oi, that’s my pocket there!

[roina_arwen]

Geez! Maybe just do week 23 and post those two in their own poll, rather than having them write yet another Sudden Death entry?

[clauderainsrm]

It doesn't work with Week 23. (you'll see what I mean soon)

OMG. That sounds ominous..

DUN-DUN-Dunnnnn!
