The entries will be up momentarily and voting will begin. ATRL's server is going EXTREMELY slow right now though... so we'll see how long it takes to actually make the post...

Cycle 6
[Episode 9 - The Trinity - The Entries]
This is it, everyone. After this next elimination we will have our FINAL 2! The deadline for the latest challenge, "The Trinity" has passed. The entries will be placed below. Please look them over and get your rankings back to me in a PM as soon as possible! Remember, you are weighing ALL THREE of the submissions by each contestant, so be thoughtful with your rankings. Judges should also include comments for each entry.
Unfortunately, during the last round we had someone miss the deadline, and as a result their votes did not count. However, I am leaving the voting/ranking deadline in place, and the same goes for anyone who misses the deadline this time (your votes will NOT be counted). You have until noon (Pacific Standard Time) on September 17th. Contestants: Be sure to include your own entry in your rankings!

[Why should you move on to the Top Member finale?]
I think it's pretty obvious I wasn't a favorite or a contender to win from the beginning, but, time and time again, I tried my hardest and best to prove that I was not to be taken lightly. I'm willing to take this all the way. I've been trying to be a viable asset by being involved as many threads as possible and giving my opinion so people can understand what I stand for. I should move on because I WANT to be seen as a top member on this site, and not just as another addition. I hope that's more than understandable on why I want to move on...  |
[Blog Entry: ATRL Is...]
[Who do you most look up to on ATRL?]
To be honest, as much as I like the friends I made on this site, none of them I ever wanted to emulate or copy. And, I've only been here for almost a year, so I never really had the chance to look up to anybody on this site. Truth is, all these people who say "You should know me" or "I'm what makes this site" I'm not on any basis with.
I came on this site with no guidance, no set standard, and no friends. Now look at me, I'm a contender to be ATRL's Next Top Member with people actually talking about me in a positive way. So, to answer your statement on "who I look up to on this site", I don't need to, because I came in my own person and I stayed as my own person. And if not choosing somebody gets me eliminated, so be it. This is and was the best experience I had on this site. |

Well, I guess this is it. I might be saying bye this round and I'm prepared for that. Especially because I kinda bailed on the final part of the challenge. But, I truly want to move on. This is the most fun I've had on this site, and whichever way it goes, I'll be the happiest with the decision.

One of our contestants did not get his/her rankings in. Hopefully that doesn't come to bite them in the @$$ later.

Cycle 6
So, we've finally made it to the finals! Three fierce competitors remain, but only TWO of you will be moving on to the FINAL CHALLENGE! I'd like to take a moment, however, to remind you of each of your journeys with MATTY'S LEGENDARY CALLOUT CHARTS! Matty has so kindly taken time out of his days to track everyone's progress in the competition. How has your journey been?
*This person received top call out*
*This person was eliminated*
*This person quit*
*This person returned*
*This person was banned*
*This person was dropped from the competition*
*This person received immunity*
**Note: Those with a * beside their name were not ranked so they are not in the position of how they did
Now I know everyone is dying to know who is moving on, so I'll jump right into it! The judges' comments are below (the mystery judge did not send in rankings or comments):

I loved your blog post! Well written and thought through.
The description to why you look up to Ain'tNoOtherStan wasn't bad, but wasn't very good either.
Jimmy Tancredi: The higher I saw about you on this ask was for sure in my opinion the the reason you you should into top 2, you showed that you’re more than just a nice girl. I also enjoyed your blog entry coz you’ve said the most essential things when a members enters there.
Matty:
Part 1:
The entry was really creative, I loved it! I have nothing else to say, great job on it!
Part 2:
You basically defined ATRL really well with your blog. Great Job!
Part 3:
Ain’tNoOtherStan seems like a nice member, I think I have talked to him once. He seems like someone that would be compatible with you from your description. Btw, what did some of the Xtina stans offer you for promoting Ain’t No Other Man  Just kidding
ExtraChapstick: Overall, I was impressed by your submissions this round. I find your confidence most refreshing, as it has really shown your growth in this competition!

Alstrom: Your reason to get to the final is very understandable! I didn't think you'd come this far because that I hadn't heard of you before this, but you proved me wrong and that really proves that you deserve a place in the final.
Your blogpost was very truthful. As I read it, I realized new thing about you and about the site. Reading it really made me want to stay on the site!
I love that you picked yourself as the one you look up to!
Jimmy Tancredi: You may have not presented visually appealing as the others but you’ve got the necessary to go on. The reason you gave you should be into the final was not clever at tall. The most interesting thing you said was about not choosing a person and always staying original.
Matty:
Part 1:
You did start off under the radar during this competition but proved yourself throughout which I applaud. My only critique is you said “I should move on because I WANT to be seen as a top member”, being the winner and having the title as Top Member is really nothing to be seen. It’s how you see yourself and your confidence about yourself. Something Deuces mentioned in his entry.
Part 2:
I liked how you defined what ATRL is to you. It felt that in the second paragraph you were complaining a bit about it.
Part 3:
I absolutely loved your entry! You are being yourself and don’t want to be anyone else. One tiny negative, most have at least someone they look up to.
ExtraChapstick: There really isn't anything that hasn't already been said! I have admired you throughout the competition, especially since I wasn't as well-known on ATRL before joining the competition either. My only gripe, once again, is I wish you'd have kept up with the PHENOMENAL visual presentations we saw from you in other rounds.

Your blogpost really got to me. I totally agree about it being like another life. Well done!
The description is very well done and I liked every part of it.
Jimmy Tancredi: I felt like you’ve been improving decently considering previous rounds. At the text you mainly said the principal characteristics a top member should posse. I loved your choice about Foxaylove, the way you spoke about her only showed that she’s reliable as a good example of a member.
Matty:
Part 1:
your entry was really true, a top member isn’t about being perfect they can make mistakes, it’s about being the best person you can be. Great job!
Part 2:
I loved your connection to what ATRL is and what it is for you. Great job!
Part 3:
Kristen (Foxay) is a very intelligent, hilarious, great person. She is actually someone I also look up to on the site. I kind of see you being a Foxaylove but in a Deuces sense.
ExtraChapstick: I look up to Foxaylove as well! While she may be named after quite the sassy (raunchy) character from Drawn Together, she counteracts that with high levels of class and intellect. You have been consistent in the competition, but your rise to prominence came late in the competition. I was thoroughly pleased with your submissions this round. Do you have what it takes to make it into the finals? We'll find out below.

Were you pleased with the comments you received? Are you ready to find out who made it to the FINAL 2? I don't think you're alone.... so let's get this out of the way! This was a very tough round to judge, but here goes:
The first member moving on to the Top Member Cycle 6 finale is....
mitchie - 14 points!
Congratulations! You received the TOP CALLOUT and will be featured in my signature yet again!
Now, that means only one spot is left... It is between
Nait Phoenix
and
Deuces.
The member who will be moving on to the finale is....
Deuces. - 12 points!
Congratulations to the FINAL 2!
mitchie
and
Deuces.
!
Nait Phoenix
, this was a very close race to the finale, and you received a total of 10 points! I congratulate you for making it this far, and I urge you to take this as a learning experience. May your star shine brightly on ATRL! The TOP 3 is a very honorable position to reach! Best of luck!
So, now only ONE round remains before our winner is crowned! The final challenge will be posted Monday, September 19th, at 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time! Use the time between now and then to evaluate how you've done in the competition and to review the comments you've been given. Are you what we're looking for in a TOP MEMBER? You'll find out soon!

Predictable
I'm rooting for the A-Hole in my story, even though it's obvious that top 20 hit will take the gold.
