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?

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!

Results - Week 3

 Another contestant has been poisoned. Fortunately, with [personal profile] 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 [personal profile] 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.

Vote - Week 3

A few words from [personal profile] clauderainsrm:


The population of our castle keeps shrinking, and the Killer(s) haven’t even claimed their first victim yet! Unfortunately before the poll even opens, we are losing 3 contestants who are out of byes:[personal profile] i0ne [personal profile] impoetry [personal profile] matsushima


That is always an awful way to go out, but it’s even more the case when it comes to Week 3 bye outs, because that means we haven’t even gotten the chance to read anything from them! Hopefully they will consider Home Game-ing until the Wheel offers another shot to get back into the game!

We also have a drop. Per the wheel, this particular drop WILL be counted toward the total of contestants leaving us this week!

Goodbye to [personal profile] used_songs . You will be missed! I hope you are able to make it back in at a later point! And yes, before anyone asks- the Nullifer went out as well.

The Wheel also said that 2 contestants would be leaving this week - which means that there will be *1* contestant leaving (thanks to the drop)

The poll closes Tuesday, July 15th at 8pm ET.

Good luck to everyone!

Week 3 - The Accusation

 [personal profile] flipflop_diva  has used her reward to give someone the antidote!  Did she save a life or did that precious elixir go to waste?  I guess we will start finding out in the coming weeks!!

***

But before we get to the regularly scheduled voting and polls, there is still the matter of YOU, the Idol contestants, and your attempt to stop this/these horrible Killer(s) from their murderous plots!

There was slightly more concentration of votes this time around, with fewer named suspects.  (only 8 as opposed to 13 last time) But, by a slight margin, one name came out on top. 

The Idolers formally accuse [personal profile] inkstainedfingertips of being a KIller!!!
