I've been democratic this whole game but this is me saying this elimination was fair. If nothing happened with genetic this was the decision that the Golden Trinity would've made.
If rl really wants to still play he should do the comeback round, which oh look is so conveniently going on right now!
I'm sad to see you go, rl, but I am not reversing another decision because people disagree. People will always disagree.

I did but since I let in extra people at the beginning and have only done single eliminations, it didn't work out to have a round with no elimination. I could have added an extra round but that would probably push the game over three months which I also don't want to do.

Yeah, but I'm not going to get in because of the comeback round. Like I know that this won't happen. My entries have been so up and down with the judges (except with Buddy, in which they've been always down  ). I have a sincere appreciation for this game and I hope that it continues to do well, but to take away my spot in the game, when I had already started my entry for this Zodiac Trinity, is dumb.
And not necessarily. If the Golden Trinity had really conversed like they were supposed to, I might have had a chance. After the whole wesley being eliminated and then not thing, I stated my case to the other 2 as to why I should stay and they didn't respond, which, by the way, at least you can be nice and respond. It's kind of a dick move to just not respond to someone who is trying to stay.

What swift clock? Everything lovesong was saying is subjective. You can't take his opinions as a "swift clock".

Actually, the deadline was about to run out which would've automatically eliminated you since you had the lowest ranking. And 90% of the time people don't change their minds in those discussions if they don't have (i.e. if there is general consensus). It sucks you had to be eliminated so late but that's not my fault. I did what I had to do.
I didn't know the full scope of what genetic had done at first if you remember, no one in the Golden Trinity even spoke to me and I had to reach out to then myself. I wasn't just going to eliminate him based on what could've been a mistake, or something I don't know. I'm not even home for this whole week and I'm still finding time to go to my phone and take care of this game and write these long ass essays. This is the best I can do for everyone involved.

So did Genetic agree to eliminate rl then? He changed his opinion? 
I'm living for the messiness even though its so messy.

You really think in a battle of two against one Sam and Moonchild would've been like "You know we reached a majority but actually let's switch so it's unanimous!!"

Horoscope Trinity is a cute idea, I really like it! Can't wait to see what some of you come up with.

Look, I understand. I wouldn't want wesley to go at all if it was totally down to one person deciding. It's unfair to him. However, I don't think it would've been fair for any of us to be eliminated after all of this mess. I understand why you're doing it, but I don't agree with it, and I wouldn't agree with it regardless of who gets eliminated. But whatever, I'm kind of the irrelevant contestant, considering I don't try to complain (unless it's necessary), not dramatic, and don't comment on the thread as much because I don't want to say anything that's not of value. I hope the game is fun, but the circumstances in which I'm leaving are less than admirable.
Also to Sam and Moonchild, thanks for not answering my PM. I meant what I said in there, but clearly, you all don't feel the need to actually give a reason or just can't respond.

I thought the decision had to be unanimous? All these changing rules.

You had the lowest score and you had been in the Flop Trinity multiple times. Your enthusiasm is well and good, but I prefer fair and fun competition. I'm not a fan of game politics and I'm not so insecure that I'll eliminate good contestants to boost my chances, like genetic has an established habit of doing.
If you argue that you're not a threat, that shows a lack of confidence and I don't get why I should keep a competitor who thinks they will perform poorly in the future.

They're supposed to be but that doesn't always happen.
If all you're going to do is sit on the sidelines and complain I hope you leave and find something better to do with your time.
I'm so tired of these essays. I've justified myself enough.

OK so...
Every sign is ruled or represented by several aspects such as an element (fire, water, earth, air), planet, house, and symbol (e.g. Leo the Lion, Pisces the Fish, Aries the Asshole, Cancer the Crybaby). Those things are profound influences and characterizers so I would look into those. I'll link two pages I know of that list what goes where for that below.
Bonus points from me if a song happens to come from an artist sharing the same sign, to promote a true zodiac archetype, but that's not important (i.e. Cause like, Prince is a Gemini, but predominantly serves Scorpio vibes in his music).
Fun Fact: Gemini, the sign of communication and versatility, is the most musically gifted sign. I have receipts.

IMO, Leo and Scorpio would be easiest to portray.
