A few words from

Before we get to the good stuff, we have to say goodbye to a couple people. It feels like bookends of the Idol experience - one newbie who I felt like I didn’t get nearly enough of a chance to get to know and one long time veteran and friend.

Goodbye to adore and talonkarrde . I hope that should the Wheel give you the opportunity to return that you will! In the meantime please Home Game and stick around to support your favorites!

The prompt this time was to re-imagine about contestant’s previous entry. I won’t lie. I’ve had this on my list of potential topics for YEARS now. At one point it was going to be a recurring one like the “local news” was back in the day. But it never felt like the right time. I’m glad that I kept it on the list though because I absolutely love the results!

I hope you do as well!

Since there were no special twists this week, I asked the wheel how many people would be leaving (1-3) and the Wheel says… *watches it spin* 1.

So the person with the fewest votes will be leaving. Seriously, you have NO idea how merciful this wheel is being to you!! I’m starting to wonder if someone has tampered with it. Or if it’s just messing with you, lulling you into a false sense of security! Because there is some outright brutality and you keep getting spared!

At any rate, the poll closes Thursday August 14th at 8pm ET. Make sure to read, comment and vote for all your favorites! Then spread the word. Because that’s the only way we keep this thing going!

Good luck to everyone!

Gather around!!

The community has spoken! They have searched high and low. They have over turned rocks and they have picked up those rocks to use to beat a Killer senseless, to exact their revenge!!

But who have they accused this week?

By a single vote, they are now accusing

marjorica !!!

As usual, I remind you that if the community is correct, this is now the time that I would reveal it.

The community... is eagerly awaiting me posting the next poll.

My head's obviously scrambled, so these Wheelhouses are going to be even more random than normal. :)

Sorry!

But there are some things that we need to cover:

If you are a current contestant, please send in your accusation for the identity of a Killer to me at clauderainsrm@gmail.com

If you are a current contestant, make sure to get in your entry therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1193503.html

If you are NOT a current contestant - turn in your Home Game entry to this space! :)

Also - regardless of your status, make sure you are going over to read and comment on the entries people wrote for the Sudden Death Write Off that wasn't, they need some love! therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1193953.html

little_details

Hello again (thanks for the collective 'you should probably re-consider this' last time because I kind of needed that), I've got some more weirdly specific questions that I kind of am not sure how to begin tackling:

So one of my characters is a Japanese man who sort of has a thing for schlocky pulpy horror movies, and while I'm aware of some popular-ish examples of sort of cult horror films in Japan ( Like House (1977) or Tetsuo The Iron Man (1989) which vaguely fit his themes of 'being deeply uncomfortable with the world and his body') but these always struck me as kind of obvious and well known even outside of japan and not something someone who was really into weird stuff would actually select as a 'favorite'. For the sake of clarity: this is set in the present so even relatively recent films are okay.

I guess in general I'm looking for recommendations for stuff this sort of guy would be interested in, or at least something that someone who's a bit of a weird horror junkie would consider a personal favorite.

I ended up going over to a friend's house for most of the night. It was nice to have some support. But I wasn't in my normal "OMG Idol panic because I knew that one of the Write Off entries was a sacrifice.

So, here are the 4 entries, so you can read them yourself. Be sure to read and comment on them!! They deserve the attention!!

garnigal.dreamwidth.org/192928.html

roina-arwen.dreamwidth.org/16858.html

swirlsofpurple.dreamwidth.org/13022.html

tonithegreat.dreamwidth.org/8561.html

Goodbye to

swirlsofpurple who is sacrifice. I saw her walk into the lake early and not emerge from its murky depths.

But if you DO resurface, I hope if the wheel spins in favor of people returning that you will do so!!!

*spins the wheel of prompts*

OH. This is fun. This has been the cutting room floor of every season for the last few years, just waiting to show up!

It's less of a "prompt" and more of an exercise.

"Re-imagine another contestant's entry"

You have 5 weeks worth of material from your fellow contestants. Find something you want to use as your springboard!!!! Twist it. Turn it inside out! Make it your own!!

You have until next Friday August 8th at 7pm ET to submit your entry. So you have a little extra time.

Have fun!!!

clauderainsrm posting in

therealljidol

The game doesn't wait to resolve that tiebreaker. Everyone else starts moving forward.

Remember that you have until the Week 6 prompt deadline to send me your Accusation on who you believe to be a Killer!!!

***

So, first we spin to see if there will be a twist or not this week. And it's a... *spins*

NO TWIST

Again. I will admit to spinning it twice. Why? Because after spinning it the first time I realized that I hadn't ask if I should remove one of the No Twists that have been showing up. So I went back and did that - and it said Yes. So I randomly removed one of the No Twist options and spun the wheel again, and it came up as a NO TWIST!!!

You can't argue with the Wheel, or fate. There's no twist this week. But one less chance of that happening from here on out!

clauderainsrm posting in

therealljidol

Before we get to anything else there is an antidote to hand out. Once again, it is

xeena taking it home. Please reach out to me to let me know who will be drinking it!

***

There were two people leaving us this week, and of course because this is all about the chaos, the voters threw their own twist into the mix!

The first contestant leaving

simplyn2deep

Thank you for coming out, and I hope you will jump back into the fray when the Wheel gives you the opportunity!

For that 2nd spot though, there was a 4 way tie between

garnigal ,

roina_arwen

swirlsofpurple and

tonithegreat !

Which brings up the question I've been asked before - how are tie breakers going to be handled in this crazy thing we call the Wheel of Chaos?

I made a list of different ways to handle tiebreakers. I put those ways on a wheel. :)

Of course I put them on a wheel!!! What did you think would happen??? ;)

Every single tiebreaker is going to be handled differently, because the wheel will decide each and every time.

I'll even tell you, for the sake of scaring you, what the options are:

No one goes home

Everyone goes home ‘

Black mark

Sudden death write off

Wheel decides who is eliminated

So... *spins*

The Wheel says - Sudden Death Write Off.

The 4 of you have until Saturday, August 2nd at 7pm to submit an entry. It's Open Topic, so it can be anything you want. Link your entry to the spot in the comments. Have fun!
