Green Room - Week 22 - Day 4

Good morning Idolers!

I'm not sure if you saw this yesterday, but there is an anthology out there featuring several former contestants that is having an Indiegogo campaign! So check it out, and if you can help - do so! If you can't, then spread the word so that others can find out about it! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/marked-by-scorn#/ (One of the levels is $4 and you get the e-book version! That's a really great deal! With the names that I know on that list, it's bound to be a good book.

Speaking of "good books", this is a good time to mention our Amazon store! http://astore.amazon.com/li0cd-20

There's a lot of great books there as well! (and of course, just by visiting it before doing the rest of your Amazon shopping helps!)

Which reminds me that I need to start coming up with the new incentives for our Patrons! https://www.patreon.com/user?ty=h&u=70027

What are some things I could offer that might tip you over into joining the team? ;)

Happy Friday the 13th!

Absolutely, but that collateral damage feels less personal or malevolent than pointing your finger at another contestant and saying, "I'm going to use my power against THAT person!"

Honestly, I think the occasional tension between contestants is part of why those powers don't get used more often. None of us are mortal enemies who would gladly set the other person's game on fire and then toast marshmallows over the flames. But we aren't congenial enough that firing a shot across the bow would be laughed off like we were little kids playing a game of Sorry.

On a bad day, it's more like the Cold War, and no one wants to fire the first nuke because it's not commensurate to how we feel - and it's not good for our own survival, either.

I couldn't agree more! I like having the gun on the table, personally, although I'd rather be the person eating popcorn on the couch than one of the people AT the table most of the time!
