	Everton posted: EDIT: Maybe we could have the (presumably) three submissions (myself, you and Brian) voted on, and the two with the most votes made safe, and then the JCC can vote between th loser of that game and Jay for eviction? This was how I orignally interpreted the task--i.e. the ones with the lowest votes would be up for eviction (but would not necessarily be evicted) and that there would be a subsequent vote to pick one of the two. Playing along those lines, tomorrow there'd be a vote result and one of the three would then go the following day (Tuesday), leaving three of us in the house. Another task would get rid of one more of us on Wednesday or Thursday. That would leave just two on Thursday and Friday for the final vote and the winner declared. Looking at the task again, however, it appears that we're all up for eviction (irrespective of the task) and that our ads are supposed to be our plead to the JCC not to evict us. This would leave, by Tuesday, just two of us in the house until Friday. I'm not too keen on this plan, but I guess we do what we're told on the matter. In any case, if how I'm reading the task now is true, Jay's auto-nom won't impact anything as we're all "auto-nommed". The JCCers can still vote to keep Jay whether or not he submits an ad. Two of us will go at the end of this task from what I can see. I reiterate that the idea of leaving just two people in the house starting on Monday or Tuesday for the rest of the week seems a bit detrimental to the game from my perspective but that's how I'm reading the rules. -----signature----- "When we hurt each other we should write it down in the sand, so the winds of forgiveness can make it go away for good.

	If the JCCers can vote to keep Jay in even if he doesn't submit anything, then what's the point of any of us submitting an entry? We may as well just let it become a regular eviction with all of us up for the chop. The voting, should - should it not - be based upon our 'adverts'? I really don't like the idea of the ads meaning nothing. We either have a task that results in one person being put up against Jay for eviction (the deciding factor being our 'adverts'), or we collectively abandon the task altogether and put all four of us up. Also I agree that just two housemates between Tuesday morning and Friday is not a good idea. I had always thought the third place would be awarded the day before the game ended, with the last day being a vote between the last two. -----signature----- efc = 6th Everton vs Hull City - 10th January Liverpool vs Everton - 19th January Liverpool vs Everton - 24th January

	Pulsies is technically running this one, but since she likely won't be on for some hours, I'll do the best I can to answer. The idea is to vote on participants' advertisements, yes. No one can stop people from voting by name alone, but that was always true. We've had other folks survive weeks in which they didn't complete the task. Relying on e-fame alone tends to backfire, but there's never been a rule against trying it. My understanding is that Jay was planning on doing something, he just might have to slap it together at the last minute. It's also my understanding that he and Pulsies had come to some agreement over his unhappiness about the last task. That was where I left matters with her when I signed off last night. If people have more questions, please let me know. -----signature----- "Once upon a time, again." --Onoto, NaNoWriMo entry

	We've had instances where peeps have survived dspite not doing much on the task, but prevous eviction votes have always taken place between those who were deemed to have done worst on the task (as voted for by teh housemates or determind by a scoring system). Once we go to the vote, then it can become a popularity thing if it must. But in this instance everyone is potentially an evictee. To me, that's a break with the format and a very unfortunate one at that. I don't much like the idea of completing a task and then not being given the chance for it to earn me a pass into the last two or three. -----signature----- efc = 6th Everton vs Hull City - 10th January Liverpool vs Everton - 19th January Liverpool vs Everton - 24th January

	I'm not opposed to this change of format. I found it surprising, yes, but I'm okay with it. Surprises are part of the game, after all, or at least they were part of the Big Brother TV show. This change certainly interferes with Jay's agreement, though. We should wait and hear what he has to say on the matter. -----signature----- love can't blossom on a message board lol

	I'm not really okay with the task being completed by some and not by others, and yet all being in the same boat when it comes to eviction. Equally, given that Jay wants to have a penalty placed upon him, I can't see him being happy. Him being able to be on a even-footing with the rest of us without having done anything seem to be something of an advantage, no? -----signature----- efc = 6th Everton vs Hull City - 10th January Liverpool vs Everton - 19th January Liverpool vs Everton - 24th January

	I wouldn't be opposed to the task being solely a way to win a custom title, either. -----signature----- love can't blossom on a message board lol

	Ev, I hear you. I had input on this one but did not do the final set-up. I'll pass on your concerns to PulsarSkate when she comes online. I know this situation bugs you, but having me undo Pulsies' decisions the minute she goes to sleep, and vice versa, would be even worse. Nobody would ever know what was going on then. -----signature----- "Once upon a time, again." --Onoto, NaNoWriMo entry

	Well. I won't be able to be online for much longer, and Pulsies 24 hour deadline will expire before I am able to log on again. I'll submit my entry to her anyway, but will be disappointed if it ends up a pointless gesture. I'll get over it, though. Also Jay, when you read this, it's not meant as an attack on you - it's just you're at the centre of it! I'm just trying to arrange it so that the task means something, and that your autonom counts as such. You're still awesomely cooltastic. -----signature----- efc = 6th Everton vs Hull City - 10th January Liverpool vs Everton - 19th January Liverpool vs Everton - 24th January

	I want to be clear that I agree with Everton on this. It seems to me that the task has to mean something. As it is, it's just a regular eviction vote with the exception that we ask not be evicted with ads. I also want to point out (again) that leaving two housemates in the house (with no third place winner, btw) from Monday or Tuesday until Friday is a patently bad idea and I'm not keen on it. The way I originally understood this task (as I described above) worked for me and I was ok with it. In that version, Jay would be up for eviction (per his request) and one other housemate (the person with the least votes in this task) would also be up for eviction. One of those two people would be voted out by the JCC and then another would go on Thursday with Friday as the final decision. That actually makes some sense to me. Surprises are cool, but not when the surprise is leaving two people to fight it out for four days. Just my two cents. -----signature----- "When we hurt each other we should write it down in the sand, so the winds of forgiveness can make it go away for good.

	Other dumb question. Are the JCCers voting for the best ads (so the one with the most votes wins and is safe?) or are they voting for all the other ads. Looking at this bit: Pulsies posted: A snappy name (username/real name is fine) A slogan An image or logo of some kind A short list (3-6 items) of "features" - do you come with optional extras? Do you kiss well? Use these and more to sell yourself! Instructions on what the audience should be doing this round - such as "A Vote for ___ is a vote for more bad posts in the JCC!" or "Vote for ____ - he smells like doodoo!" Create an ad for yourself, in any way (graphic, text or other) and send it to me, Managing Director Pulsies Finklestein! The JCC will vote on your submission - the bottom two ads and therefore, their creators, will find themselves out of a job and out of this house! It would imply that the JCCers are supposed to vote for other ads, not our own but then the follow on bit about "bottome two ads" implies that the ad with the fewest votes loses. Am I the only one that needs clarification? I'm currently building my ad, instructing JCCers to vote for me. I hope I'm not asking them to vote me off. -----signature----- "When we hurt each other we should write it down in the sand, so the winds of forgiveness can make it go away for good.

	My ad has been submitted now, but it too implores JCCers to vote for me. I don't have time to change it now. EDIT: I assumed those blanks were supposed to be filled with names of housemates other than yourself: Juli smells! ...for example. Juli does not smell. -----signature----- efc = 6th Everton vs Hull City - 10th January Liverpool vs Everton - 19th January Liverpool vs Everton - 24th January

	My ad invites the JCC posters to vote for me, but the instructions tell the JCC posters to vote against me. I went for the middle ground. -----signature----- love can't blossom on a message board lol
