WEEK OF 5/27/07 EDITION

***NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO INSIDER SPOTLIGHT THIS WEEK SINCE I NEED TO POST THESE TWO ANNOUNCEMENTS. IT WILL RETURN NEXT WEEK WHEN I POST SUMMER PREVIEWS.***

2 HUGE ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!

ANNOUNCEMENT #1: SALEM LIVES ON HIATUS!!!

THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 1, WILL BE THE LAST EPISODE OF SALEM LIVES FOR TWO WEEKS. IT WILL RETURN ON MONDAY JUNE 18. THE REASON FOR THIS IS I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN FROM JUNE 5-JUNE 12 AND IT'S EASIER TO JUST TAKE TWO WHOLE WEEKS OFF AND SET UP A CLIFFHANGER AND OTHER THINGS. THEREFOREM THIS WEEK WILL BE A MAJOR PAYOFF AND REVEAL WEEK. IT'S WEEK NO SALEM LIVES FAN SHOULD MISS!! IT ALL LEADS TO ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE EPISODES WE HAVE EVER DONE THIS FRIDAY JUNE 1. THE FRIDAY JUNE 1 EPISODE WILL FEATURE 5 HUGE CLIFFHANGERS TO KEEP FANS HANGING UNTIL AFTER THE HIATUS. MAKE SURE TO LOOK OUT NEXT WEEKEND FOR EXCLUSIVE SUMMER PREVIEWS IN THE SL INSIDER AND OTHER PREVIEWS FOR WHAT IS TO COME WHEN SALEM LIVES RETURNS ON JUNE 18.

IN ADDITION TO THIS, THERE WILL BE A SALEM LIVES CHAT UPON MY RETURN. IT IS SET FOR WEDNESDAY JUNE 13 at 8PM EST. THIS IS OPEN TO BOTH READERS AND ANYONE INTERESTED SO PLEASE PM ME OR COMMENT IN THE BLOG TO INDICATE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN IN. IT WILL ON AIM CHAT. IF YOU DON'T HAVE AIM, THEN LET ME KNOW AND WE WILL WORK OUT SOMETHING. YOU WILL HAVE UNTIL MY RETURN ON JUNE 12 TO RSVP FOR THE CHAT SO DON'T FORGET!!! IT SHOULD BE FUN AND A GREAT WAY TO ANSWER BLOG QUESTIONS AND SO ON.

ANNOUNCEMENT #2: VENDETTA'S FINAL WEEKS!!!

SALEM LIVES: VENDETTA HAS NOW ENTERED IT'S FINAL MONTH. THEREFORE, I FELT THE NEED TO PROVIDE A SCHEDULE TO GAME PLAYERS AND READERS ALIKE OF WHAT IS TO COME AS IT WINDS DOWN. THE TWO WEEK HIATUS WILL NOT EFFECT IT AT ALL AS IT WAS ALWAYS THE PLAN TO HAVE A LITTLE BREAK IN VENDETTA DOWN THE FINAL VENDETTA STRETCH RUN. HERE IS THE SCHEDULE FOR VENDETTA-RELATED EVENTS, BEGINNING WITH THIS WEEK:

Week of May 28, 2007

FRIDAY JUNE 29, 2007: VENDETTA AND THE VENDETTA GAME ENDS AND THE WINNER OF THE GAME IS REVEALED!!!

MORE DETAILS ON ALL THIS TO COME. HOWEVER, TO FURTHER ELABORATE, ON JUNE 2, I WILL ELIMINATE ALL BUT THE TOP 3 SCORERS OF THE VENDETTA GAME FROM PLAYING CONTENTION. THIS WILL LEAVE US WITH 3 PLAYERS. THOSE 3 PLAYERS WILL HAVE A CHANCE AT WINNING THE VENDETTA GAME. ON JUNE 4, REMAINING PLAYERS WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO PLAY THE LAST REGULAR VENDETTA TRIVIA WHEN I POST IT AND SEND IT TO THEM. THIS TIME, HOWEVER, YOU WILL HAVE NEARLY A WEEK AND HALF TO SEND IT. SINCE I WILL BE AWAY, THE TRIVIA WILL NOT BE DUE UNTIL JUNE 12 AT MIDNIGHT. I WILL CHECK MY PM BOX WHEN I RETURN AND ISSUE SCORES AND SEND CLUES. ALSO, ON JUNE 4, I WILL SEND A COPY OF THE FINAL VENDETTA TRIVIA TO THE REMAINING 3 CONTESTANTS. THIS WILL NOT BE POSTED BUT ONLY SENT TO THE 3 GAME PLAYERS LEFT. THE 3 GAME PLAYERS WILL HAVE UNTIL MONDAY JUNE 25 TO SEND ME THEIR ANSWERS. THEY MUST BE SENT TO ME BY 8PM. THE REASON WHY I GIVE ALOT OF TIME IS THAT THE FINAL TRIVIA REQUIRES PLAYERS TO LOOK BACK AT CLUES AND THINK ALOT ABOUT THE VENDETTA EVENT AS A WHOLE. I WILL THEN READ THROUGH ANSWERS AND ANNOUNCE THE WINNER ON FRIDAY JUNE 29. MORE ON ALL THIS TO COME BUT THIS SHOULD BE HELPFUL TO ALL AS FAR AS KNOWING THINGS AHEAD GOES. KEEP READING SALEM LIVES!! THE BEST IS YET TO COME AND THE SUMMER IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!!

***THERE IS NOTHING TO REPORT AS FAR AS COMINGS AND GOINGS THIS WEEK.***
