Ddd J P O W is definitely a frontrunner for this trinity

Not in my book! He just copied/paste a story everyone has already read

@Superpower I've never read that story before, maybe I just live under a rock.

You do. The story was shared over 2M times in 24 hours, trended for days, covered by countless blogs and magazines including Roling Stones. There are even YouTube parodies

Wait is it based on something? I didn't know

My story is original

[Tymps.]

Wait at that whole entire entry being copy and pasted.

....

I never heard of that story before. Ummmmmmmmm....

[Superpower]

Here is the full viral story
http://m.imgur.com/gallery/lNmdk

Complex talking about it http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2...ane-epic-story

Rolling Stone http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/...eeted-20151117

Even Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...zy-to-be-real/

One of the countless trailers on YouTube https://youtu.be/0x5Cx7qvMYI
There also audio versions.

3 of the characters in the story came forward with their own versions.
Zola tweeted that she was talking with publishers for a book and later a tv special (which I don't believe)

The story was all over the Internet for a week or 2. Of course all ATRL threads were closed after few posts because it's too sexual and graphic.

Few posts above, you can read Jpow confessing that he copied the story after Kitt asked if it was verbatim.

This is very unlike me and I don't care that much, but everyone else worked hard to come up with an entry of own ideas and their own words while Jpow is getting all this undeserved praise, I had to be fair.

Now I realize this has become a mess. What a season! So I'm removing myself from the game because when you start caring this much about a game, you've gone too far and I actually like Jpow so I'm not happy about this, and I know this is coming across as a bitter post so yeah. It was nice playing. Good luck everyone.

Mess, Superpower I like you too and don't want you to quit.

I do want to say that I never claimed it to be an original story. I copied and pasted her tweets to make the trilogy. But when I saw "I'm a prostitute" as a prompt, this is what immediately came to mind and I like the irreverence and humour I tried to bring by using this story and pairing it with songs like "Goodbye Earl"

This is why I initially said I didn't know if people would love it or hate it. They could love the idea I had for using this and everything, or they could hate it for the reasons you said because it's not an original story.

I'm definitely taking a risk here and am still unsure how the judges will receive it.

[Staryu]

Supapowa no more quitters allowed

[Buddy!]

Girl why don't you wait and see what we have to say?

Don't quit ho. Even if you end up Flop Trinity so what you have a 2/3 of a chance of making it out of there and just leaving one **** up behind you (and we don't even know how you ranked yet so)

EDIT: Wait Superpower is quitting?!?!?!? Wtf idgi.

This like hunty. Please. I get being upset if J P O W got like straight #1s but we haven't even judged ha yet. Please don't quit on us.

[Navyofbadgals]

Well that escalated quickly

Please don't quit Superpower

[Tymps.]

Okay well given it seems everyone's waiting for this game to end and I don't want two rounds in a row with no elimination, I still want someone eliminated this round.

I have no possible way to punish anyone who quits at the top 10 or after but know that it makes me really, really unhappy and you're ruining the game for everyone who worked really hard but now is just gonna make it through the game by default. If there is another season of Holy Trinity (I'm doubtful, but...) I would prefer if you didn't play.

To everyone else: this season is almost over. If anything, just stay in this game for me, for the judges, and for your fellow contestants, who I'm sure would rather not win at all than win by default.

[Navyofbadgals]

I have no intention in quitting, and with all the quitting this season I can see why it is hard to host. I want to give it my all and hope the other contestants think the same..
Ofc quitting has a reason but there were just too many quitters this season

But I still enjoyed it so far, and will enjoy it for as long as I can. Imo, you have so far done a great job as host Tymps

[jpow]

I've definitely enjoyed the game and have no intention on quitting either

[Witch Privilege]

Wow.

I thought J P O W was being very creative by using the Zola story. Yes it's copy-pasted, but it was done so to make a creative trinity.

Please don't quit SP.

[Superpower]

I've never quit any games and I've played dozens of them and lost them all except 1.
I just felt it was the right thing to do after throwing Jpow under the bus, which only happened because Tymps was questioning what I said. And I thought leaving the game will not make it look like I was sabotaging Jpow, which I genuinely wasn't and had no intention to do in the first place.
Don't worry tho, I won't participate in future seasons. Being a 3 times loser would be too embarrassing, even for my low standards.
Anyway, if this is derailing the game, you can keep me in. I have no hard feelings and don't want to create more mess for you and the other players

I don't think you threw me under the bus I assumed everyone was familiar with the Zola story which is why I used it. If I knew people weren't familiar with the story, I would have cited it. I never intended to try to pass it off like an original story and all I want to do is remain transparent with my entries.

Well I mean you kinda seem like you want to quit? I'm can't stop you and if you don't want to try anymore I wouldn't. It's up to you. I would always prefer if people stayed in the game but if you don't want to I can't just make you.

I'm probably going to get dragged to hell and back for my minimalistic formatting, but I really wanted to put all of the attention on the songs and the message this week. I don't expect good things but I'm just hoping this week isn't my week.

EDIT: Oh things are happening.
