I've got one of those blog things, but I haven't been keeping it up to date.

My choice of number is cliched! But 14 is round? Seriously, is there a less round number than 1? And look at all the hard angles in a 4. Pointy, pointy, pointy.

My guess is that blogging with a group is easier, because there is some degree of debate that goes on and you end up playing off each other.

Although going with the "I have experience doing this, but I don't really keep up with it" might not be the most persuasive argument for being voted on in the first place...

Jeff Head will outsmart you in a swift but hughly seriesly way...

What's to stop people from being "voted off" for no other reason than that a certain FR clique got together to screw over someone they don't like?

It would have to be a huge clique, because you vote for who gets to stay, and the clique would have to have enough votes to put 10 others ahead of the unfortunate screwee.

But you know what? I fully anticipate there are going to be groups that try to stack the island, and other groups that try to get certain people off. It will probably have some rough spots and never be perfect. And if someone decides to use their spot to be obnoxious continually, thinking they have the votes to stay on, they will find out that the rules can be adapted as needed to prevent problems. And that one vote by Jim counts a hell of a lot more than others. :-)

Yeah, yeah....right! I remember using that excuse when the scotch bottle rolled under my desk.

Just out of curiousity, how does one determine how many posts one has?
