   It's time for the first poll! Since we only had four entrants, instead of eliminating one of them this is going to be a sort of bonus round, with the winner winning .33 of a "life." If one person is to be eliminated in later polls and there's a two way tie for the bottom, each is .50 eliminated, and remains fully in the game until there is less than 0% of them left. Additionally, if someone is having a busy week an fails to submit at all, until near the end they can take a .33 loss instead of submitting. So the .33 bonus up this round should be very useful.

   Polls will be open 72 hours (3 x 24 hours), until 0400am PST Saturday, June 29th. [small print: I am presently traveling abroad (hence the weird times), can't guarantee I'll be at a computer to stop the polls at exactly the specified time (why doesn't LJ include a function to make a poll auto close at a certain time??), I'll either use the results as they are as soon after as I can get to the computer, or if you leave a comment to the entry right after the close I think I'll automatically receive an email with the poll in it as it stands at that moment]

   If you'd like to review the prompt the below entries are responding to, it is "Comeback," here

   Hello all! We've gotten off to a bit of a false start, with only four people joining in for the first prompt. I'll take responsibility for that, I really did hardly anything to promote it. However, I think we need at least say... seven people at the start to make it interesting.
   So what I think I'm going to do is make that first round a bonus round -- will still post a poll (as soon as I'm done with this entry), but instead of eliminating someone, the winner will get a bonus .33 of a point, to be used either as an extra pass (you can pass any given week* and just lose .33 points. Everyone begins with 1.0) or protection against elimination.

   This second prompt will be False Start, and the deadline will be either a week from now (0400 am PST, Wednesday July 3rd), OR when we have seven submissions, whichever comes later
   One picture must be from between now and the deadline, and one can be from between five months from now to the deadline.

   So there you have it, we're not going forward till we have at least seven contestants, SO TELL YOUR FRIENDS!! Ideally we'll have even more than seven.

   As always, please only link your entries here, discussion can take place in comments to the poll I'm about to post.

*except of course the last one or two)

   With a little less than 24 hours until the first deadline... we have one submission., I'll be putting one of my own in but this is going to be a pretty quick game with only two of us, are there other people still planning on submitting???? ):
