Still Watching...

While I agonize and get entirely too frustrated over certain elements, I figure I might as well go ahead and post those other elements whose Finalists have been, so to speak, finalized. Light - I had two great New Blood competitors in here, as well as an historically strong competitor of Old Blood. Overall, this element lived to 'shine'...groan away at the pun...and it wasn't an entirely easy decision. However, a decision was indeed made. Ont, you will be proceeding to the Finals. Ice - This element came down to process of elimination, sadly, because it was making some great competition to decide between out of the gate. With Recar being non-present, and Bee having to withdraw due to service...QB, you will be proceeding to the Finals. Water - Good competition that, before the start, looked like it would be amazing competition. One RPer stands head and shoulders above the rest, but then again, he is scarily getting this down to a near art form. To the point where I might worry were we both competitors again. GoN, you will be proceeding to the Finals. Don't expect any room to slack off, though. You should know better. Earth - Here was a great chance for pure competition among New Blood, and it didn't disappoint. We had competitors put it all on the line, and competitors who were artistic in practice of putting their actions to words. I'll be keeping this a surprise for a bit longer. Darkness - I think, even more depressing than what turned out with Ice, this element saw the worst detriment of the Idle and the Resignations during the actual Dropoffs period. I feel conflicted here, because I do not think certain members of the competition could get enough in to really get to shine given the pace the Idle dragged this down towards. In the end, the Old Blood here stayed consistent and managed to prove themselves, though I almost wish I could introduce a duel scenario to give someone a valid shot without Idle and such keeping them from getting enough in to change my mind. Krey, you will be proceeding to the Finals. Fire - This element agonizes me. The last time xaxtoo and TD came in the same element of contention, it agonized me. This is NOT an easy decision, as it is dead close. You guys get to wait and cool your heels just awhile longer as well, and the primary reason I don't have full selections quite yet. Energy - To be fully honest, this element turned a bit messy to judge given circumstances beyond most folks knowledge. However, New Blood has come to surprise me, in a manner, and I do have a selection here. Clyde, you will be proceeding to the Finals. Wind - The final element, and only final because I went by the same listing from the original post. This element was another fun element to judge, and that made it no less close. I daresay it would have been even more interesting had Kuro not been forced to drop for outside reasons. However, as with all elements, a Finalist does need to be chosen. Kellehendros, you will be proceeding to the Finals.
