IMPORTANT VENDETTA ANNOUNCEMENT!!

AS YOU ALL KNOW, PARTICIPATION IN THE VENDETTA GAME HAS BEEN WANING OF LATE AND IT'S BECOME ALMOST A ONE PLAYER RACE. AS A RESULT OF THIS AND SOME FEEDBACK AND ADVICE I RECIEVED, THERE WILL BE SOME MAJOR CHANGES TO THE VENDETTA GAME FORMAT. FIRST OFF, THE RULES WILL REMAIN THE SAME AND SO WILL THE END RESULT. THERE WILL STILL BE CLIPS AND CLUES GIVEN OUT TO THE TOP 3 EACH WEEK. THE OVERALL WINNER AT THE END OF THE GAME WILL STILL HAVE A CHARACTER WRITTEN INTO SALEM LIVES IN THEIR HONOR. THE WINNER WILL HAVE INPUT INTO THE ACTOR OR ACTRESS WHO PLAYS THE ROLE, THE NAME OF THE CHARACTER, ETC. THE WINNER'S CREATED CHARACTER WILL PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN STORY AFTER VENDETTA CLIMAXES. THOSE THAT FINISH BEHIND THE WINNER WILL STILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE REWARDED WITH THEIR OWN CREATED CHARACTER IN SALEM LIVES SO GETTING POINTS IS IMPORTANT AS YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY ARE GOING TO BE REWARDED CREATED CHARACTERS IN THE END. THIS IS EVERYONE'S CHANCE TO PLAY A ROLE IN STORY AND THE WRITING OF SALEM LIVES.

SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE RULES AND GUIDELINES ARE THE SAME AS BEFORE. NOW, AS FOR THE CHANGES...AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE HAVE BEE DOING TRIVIA EVERY WEEK SINCE THE GAME BEGAN. WELL, CHANGE #1 IS THAT TRIVIA WILL NO LONGER BE POSTED ON SATURDAY'S IN THE INSIDER. THE INSIDER WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSTED ON SATURDAY'S (EXCEPT WHEN LATE) AND YOU CAN STILL FIND VENDETTA GAME STANDINGS AND INFO IN THE INSIDER EVERY WEEK. HOWEVER, TRIVIA WILL NOT BE POSTED UNTIL MONDAY FROM NOW ON. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE BOARD IS RATHER DEAD ON WEEKENDS AND THE BEST WAY TO CATCH PEOPLE IS ON WEEKENDS. GAME PLAYERS WILL HAVE FROM MONDAY TO THURSDAY TO ANSWER TRIVIA. THE TRIVIA WILL STILL BE 3-5 QUESTIONS AND THE ANSWERS WILL BE DUE ON THURSDAY BY 4pm. RESULTS WILL BE POSTED ON SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE INSIDER AND CLUES WILL BE PMED TO THE TOP 3 SCORERS FOR THE WEEK BEFORE TRIVIA IS POSTED ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. TRIVIA WILL CONTINUE TO BE PMED TO GAME PLAYERS AS IT HAS BEEN THE PAST FEW WEEKS.

NOW THAT IS CHANGE #1. THE SECOND CHANGE IS THAT COMMENTS WILL NOT COUNT FOR DOUBLE THE POINTS. SO FAR, IF YOY HAD THE MOST COMMENTS FOR THE WEEK, I WOULD REWARD YOU WITH 10 PTS. NOW THE VENDETTA GAME PLAYER WHO COMMENTS THE MOST WILL RECIEVE 20 PTS. THE SECOND MOST COMMENTER WILL GET 18 PTS AND SO ON. THIS SHOULD HELP THOSE WHO ARE BEHIND CATCH UP A BIT BUT YOU MUST COMMENT TO DO THAT.

AS FOR CHANGE #3, THIS IS THE BIGGEST CHANGE. DUE TO SOME NOT PARTICIPATING AT ALL AFTER THEY SAID THEY WOULD, I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO OPEN THE GAME BACK UP TO NEW PLAYERS. I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP DOING IT BECAUSE IT'S COME TOO FAR AND ROMAN AND I WORKED HARD ON IT. SO, IF ANYONE KNOWS OF ANYONE THAT IS INTERESTED PLEASE LET ME KNOW. SPREAD THE WORD!! ANY SON MEMBERS, SONBC READERS/WRITERS, OR ANY OF OUR LOYAL SALEM LIVES READERS CAN JOIN!! WE NEED PLAYERS!!! DON'T REALLY ABOUT BEING BEHIND. THERE WILL BE BONUS OPPORTUNITIES AND CHANCES TO MAKE UP POINTS, CLUES, AND SUCH. I UPPED THE POINTS ON COMMENTING SO THAT SHOULD HELP. WE WILL BE ACCEPTING PLAYERS UNTIL MAY 14.

SO, IN SUMMARY:

CHANGE #1: TRIVIA CHANGED FROM SATURDAY TO MONDAY, MAKING ANSWERS DUE BY 4PM THURSDAY. RESULTS AND STANDINGS WILL BE POSTED SATURDAY NIGHTS IN THE INSIDER AND CLUES WILL BE SENT OUT WITHIN A 48 HOUR INTERVAL.

CHANGE #2: COMMENT SCORES ARE BEING DOUBLED IN AN EFFORT TO HELP THOSE BEHIND OR ANY NEW PLAYERS WE GET. THE PERSON WITH THE MOST COMMENTS FOR THE WEEK GETS 20 POINTS, 2ND MOST GETS 18 PTS, AND SO ON.

CHANGE #3: THE VENDETTA GAME IS NOW OPEN TO NEW PLAYERS UNTIL MAY 14. SPREAD THE WORD AND GET INVOLVED!! IT WILL BE FUN!!!

KEEP LOOKING OUT FOR MORE UPDATES AND, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, PLEASE SO LET ME KNOW. VENDETTA GAME PLAYERS AND SALEM LIVES READERS....CHECK YOUR PM BOXES. YOU MAY HAVE SOMETHING FROM ME. JUST TO REMIND GAME PLAYERS...TRIVIA WILL BE POSTED TOMARROW AS THESE CHANGES ARE GOING INTO EFFECT IMMEDIATELY. THANKS .
