Not to be picky
But he does have a name now
Perhaps he's singing...

And i carry it with me like my daddy did
But i'm livin' the dream that he kept hid
Movin' me down the highway
Rollin' me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by

Not to be picky
But as you are here posting
Can you cast your vote?

Seems all votes so far
Focus on two contestants
They don’t need my help

Of the other three
I can’t bring myself to slight
Any one of them

If I must chose two
I have to forego voting
And sit out this round

If you vote for Vraith
Then I'll add my double-points
Make a game of it!

Vraith - voted (and doubled)
hue of bone - voted

For the second time this month, mice have eaten through our FIOS cable out in the box on the telephone pole. Or so FIOS claims. So I was off the net.

Voting was extended, but it ends TONITE. Tell your friends to vote.

It's time to Announce the Winners of Round 1

• 
  Survivor: Isle of the One Tree

Here is how I tally the votes:

• Cameraman Jenn: 4
• Hue of Bone: 2
• Savor Dam: 1
• Vraith: 2
• ____: 3

The answers to the Staff of Immunity Question were:

1. Bodach Glas
2. Asuraka and Tamarantha
3. Under Mt Thunder, to create space for a Forbidding; In Mithil Stonedown, during the marauder attack; at the entrance to Foul's Creche

Here is how I tally the Survivors' answers:

• Cameraman Jenn: 0 correct
• Hue of Bone: 2 1/3 correct
• Savor Dam: 2 2/3 correct
• Vraith: 1 1/3 correct
• ____: 1 correct

So the winner of the Staff of Immunity is:

Spoiler

Savor Dam!

All of which means that the following person has been voted off of the island:

Spoiler

Vraith!

That Survivor walks away with total winnings in cash and prizes of: 1 WGD.

The other four Survivors will stay to compete in round 2.


(Yes, it was a tie for next least votes, so the judge (me) decided between them.)

(Yes, the Staff of Immunity saved someone from getting voted off. Good Staff.)

(Yes, "brandish" means to wave threateningly, and so some guesses where Covenant merely held up the ring or showed the ring were not considered correct.)

Some parts that I really liked (and so reflect my votes):

"Cameraman Jenn fought with the muscular abandon of a woman who had vibrated." No one thought about a vibrator here except me?

"Savor Dam fought with the gooey abandon of a man who had expelled." ewww..... "But the Guardian showed no sign of inspecting." I would not look at it either!

well, had I pmed my answer I would have gotten 2 1/3 correct but oh well. congrats to my fellow survivors and condolences to vraith. Can't wait until the next round.

I got 1 1/2 right! Yay me!!

I would have submitted the showing of the ring at the council of the lords when delivering the message and that would have been wrong, but the staff elders I had correct. The other two brandishing moments that I would have gotten were entrance to foul's creche and attack at mithil stonedown. I would not have gotten the one under mt thunder because my mind thought, brandish to create space meant using the ring. Guess I need to brush up on my early chrons.

Anyway, I say bring on the next round.

I'd like to thank the fellow Survivor who was my only vote...even if she claimed not to be voting.

I'd also like to thank SRD for the obscure references that made it possible for me to endure and play another round, despite an entry that tended toward DrabLibs. The line WF referenced was as good as it got...certainly not on a par with "...the gated community does not wipe."

DPJ, if you are going to grace this thread with your stanzas, might you at least vote...or round up a friend who will?

Onward to the next round...may it be a good one and (for WF's sake) free of cable-chewing rodents.

I'd like to thank the three people who read Flower of Doom, a book I did not write, and voted for me, probably because I did not write it!

I'm ready for the next round! Bring it on Wayfriend! Let's rock and roll!

As soon as I figure out what the next contest is ...

Wet T-shirt contest?

Having met three of the four current survivors in person, I can say that suggestion is most interesting...

Ahem, Menolly
'Zat Staff of Immunity
Or glad to see them?

You're not a contestant, DPJ!

...or are you? Hmmmmmm...

Don't you dare insinuate that haiku nut is one of my aliases!

I won't have to. You just did it for me.
