Voting!

[Jarrtail]

Really, it's more of a random choice at this point. I'm having a hard time finding glaring flaws with anyone at this point.

[Magical Fish]

Heh, I know exactly who I'm voting for, but you're all making me feel mean about being so certain!  :P

[Damask the Minstrel]

Well, don't feel bad 'cause your mind's made up.

And, look at it this way: no matter who you vote off, the remaining crew are of really high caliber.

I just hope no one is voting based on who did or didn't post an Interlude in the beginning of the week. There were only three scenarios, so not everyone could help write and post. Please consider them bonuses to the story and not full-fledged posts that count towards the uploader's post count.

I liked the idea of having the zombie squad doing the interludes.  That way they don't have to give credit to those who helped and at the same time, these posts added something to the story.  My problem is that there was one character absent and I wouldn't want people voting on that basis.  The vote should be on the character chapters, not these extras.

[Damask the Minstrel]

Well, a couple were. I didn't do an official interlude, just enveloped Matty's "interlude" into my post. And helped out with the last two -- but then we all did with those.

So only Bells, Liza, and Revel did interlude-interludes.

Just a reminder, voting ends in just under 6 hours from now. So get those votes in as quick as you can!

[Erethas]

Nearly forgot to vote.

And peoples, I never vote depending how many times a venturer posts versus the others, though I do like getting to know the characters, so never fear.

Because of Thanksgiving, I'm going to extend week five by an extra day. So use it well, contestants! **wags finger** :P

Week five voting will be December 2-4.

This week...there will not be a vote.

Most unfortunately, one of our contestants has recently been hit by outside, unforeseen circumstances and has decided it would be best for them to bow out of the contest. They do not wish to be subbed, and at this point it'd be a formidable task for any sub to catch up anyway. So this person's exit post will act as this week's death post, and the next voting period will be at the end of week six. I've decided to do it this way because at this point a double elimination would force the contestants to suddenly have to end the story next week, and it'd be too much of a strain on their plotting to throw that kind of a curveball at them. So I'm sorry, you bloodthirsty lot, you don't get to be the ones to stabbity the unfortunate contestant this week. You'll have to just keep sharpening your knives until next week...and review some posts already, dangit. :P

This person's last post should be up fairly soon, I should think. :(

[Jarrtail]

Huh. Same thing happened in Redscape. Our curse must be rubbing off on you guys.

[Cairn Destop]

It is unfortunate that real life interfers, but we can all honor that decision.  At this point, whichever contestant is forced out by such circumstances, it is sad as the character might well be a strong contender for winning it all.  At this point in the contest, the shades of differences is so minor that selecting somebody has become more of a challenge.

Yeahhhhhhhhh. I've kind of abstained from it for that reason. Sometimes not everyone is up to my (admittedly ridiculous) standards, but i just don't feel rite u guise because there are no stand-out slip-ups.

[Sycamore]

Meh, some of the characters have warranted a few eyebrows from me, but overall, everyone is at a pretty even keel.
