Back home for the holidays? It's actually not terribly cold here lately, just -1 degrees Celsius (30.2 degrees Fahrenheit for you non-Canadians). I am! For the week. I'm actually closer to you now than I was when I lived here. My parents moved close to Corner Brook. Hi temporary neighbour! Cool! I'm home for the holidays now, so you're probably only ~430 km away from me atm.

So... I'm tired and don't want to miss the deadline (won't be up before 6 a.m.)... therefore I am going to lock in my nominations probably within the next hour. Please feel free to talk to me, I still have no idea who I am putting on the block yet. Open to any and every suggestion.

Attention houseguests! Albie - Eeyore Az Paynter - Dory @drag27 - Yzma nick64 - Mushu Fancy - Genie ry4n - Cruella de Vil .indulgecountry - Thumper popstop - Aliens Devil Marlena Nylund - Rafiki @jf816 - Olaf surfy - Maleficent Mikey - ??? Spidey - Evil Queen Spidey has chosen his nominees. He will post them shortly. In addition, nick64 has missed the deadline, meaning surfy will take his place as HOH. Surf, you have 12 hours (2 AM EST, 12 AM CST) to send in your nominees. Also, due to Christmas being tomorrow, I think I will probably delay stuff until the 26th to give everyone time to celebrate and whatnot.

Hey HouseGuests!! It's time for the nomination ceremony to begin. As the current Head of Household... ...I mean nominate two of my fellow HouseGuests for eviction. Being that it is the first week, I really had nothing to go on. I had my door open for people to come talk to me and some of you chose not to use that opportunity. With that being said, I have nominated Albie and Mikey for eviction. It was nothing personal. Best of luck in the Battle of the Block competition! This nomination ceremony is adjourned.

Not asking for this decision to be overturned, but for the future, I think HOH should get more time. Picking nominees is a much bigger decision than whether or not to use the POV, requring talking to people and such, and as shown by my absense, sometimes 12 hours isn't enough for someone to make that decision (the time period for me was split between a party and sleep).
But good luck with your nominations Surf :) And best of luck to albie and Mikey in the BOTB

I think Nick should get to keep his HoH powers. It's always silly that nominations are only a 12 hour period! It's one of the most important parts of the week.

I don't think I should get to keep it, because I did have a clearly stated deadline and missed it, so that's all on me, but I do think a little more time would be better for the future.

I wouldn't mind if in future rounds HoHs got like 24 hours or something.
Sorry Nick :( but thanks for making me HoH lol

As an arachnophobe, I should know better than to trust a Spidey. Thanks for the nomination. It's truly an honor to be the first.
Also in agreement about the 24 hour thing.

I know we originally did 12 hour sin the first season of BB because of the amount of time it would take to get through a season. Even with us cutting it down, it took about 6 weeks or so. But I think there's a couple less players this time, so maybe that allows for wiggle room on time.

I agree with the earlier discussion. I actually suggest having a minimum time along with a deadline time. One of the faults (or the only one really) with the last one was that if the HoH put in nominations, whether it was a few hours or just before the deadline, that was it. It didn't give the players enough time to potentially sway the HoH's choice at all. I think there should be a period where the HoH can't send in his or her nominations (likewise, the PoV can't announce the decision, etc, etc) until a certain time after they've been named HoH.
If that makes any sense? I know it might extend the game itself by a bit but it was one of the things I was going to do with the game I host later on.

Clearly you didn't check my PM to you asking you to confirm the post... but here it is (It was ready a long time ago...) I'm nominating Indulge and Az, the reason being that they are the least active in the thread. Nothing personal at all. Honestly wish you the best of luck in the BotB.

Mikey, Albie, .indulgecountry, and Az Paynter have all been nominated for eviction. Due to today/tomorrow (depending on time zone) being Christmas, I am giving you 48 hours to complete the BOTB competition. The deadline will be 11:59:59 PM EST 12/26. I will send out instructions for you shortly.
