[Cranberry]

3 Cambridgeshire
2 Cheshire
2 Worcestershire
1 Bedfordshire
1 County Durham

[Filuwaúrdjan]

People voting against Shropshire and Durham at this point should be taken outside and shot.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Lincolnshire - 3
Suffolk - 2 (needs must etc)
Cambridgeshire - 2
Bedfordshire - 1
Wiltshire -1

[politicus]

From broad consensus during the ellimination of the bulk of the South-East we had votes for 14 of the remaining 30 counties this time!

Bedfordshire 8
Cambridgeshire 7
Suffolk 5
Lincolnshire 5
Shropshire 3
Wiltshire 3
Cheshire 2
Worcestershire 2
Northamptonshire 2
Westmorland 2
Dorset 2
Staffordshire 2
Oxfordshire 1
Durham 1

Bolded ones eliminated. Suffolk for more votes in previous rounds than Lincolnshire (which had none).

[politicus]

Round 5:

Vote to eliminate three counties using 5,3,1 and -3. Votes from the previous round will be used to decide a tie.

The round will close in 24 hours.

[politicus]

Lincolnshire 5
Wiltshire 3
Northamptonshire 1 (I could be misremembering, but it doesn't strike me as a particularly interesting place)

As to the defensive move I take it that Gully's insane (#) attack on lovely Dorset will remain unsupported, so as a nature lover I am going with Westmorland.

Westmorland -3



# well I went after Hampshire, you could just be doing it for tactical reasons.

Northants has been ruined by all those bloody immigrants. And by 'immigrants' I mean 'middle class white people from the south east'.

Northamptonshire 8
Leicestershire 6
Worcestershire 4
Staffordshire 2

Westmorland -5

(going for a Midland Massacre since I can not find any non-hackish options in the south and have a pro-northern bias - also very fond of the areas bordering Wales)

Round closes in 22 hours (8PM CET suits me better). Ties to be decided by votes in the last two rounds.

Round 7:

Eliminate three counties by voting 3, 2, 1. Ties to be decided by votes in the previous two rounds. The round closes in 24 hours.

Safes:

Country Life magazine rated these eight counties as the most naturally beautiful: Devon, Yorkshire, Northumberland, Cumberland, Cornwall, Norfolk, Dorset, Somerset.

Safe one of those eight + one of the remaining twelve for the next three rounds.

Eliminate:

Warwickshire 3
Worcestershire 2
Oxfordshire 1

Safe:

Dorset (since Gully keeps attacking it)
Herefordshire

[politicus]

We are now almost halfway through the survivor and there are eight rounds left. There will be five 24 hour rounds with elimination of three counties, one quarterfinal with elimination of two counties, a semifinal with elimination of one county and a final between the last two. I will try to keep the three finals open until everyone has voted (within reason), but the next five rounds will close at 7 PM GMT/ 8 PM CET.

[Cranberry]

3 Cheshire
2 Shrosphire
1 Lancashire

Safe Devon and Sussex

[Tetro Kornbluth]

3 Derbyshire
2 Northumberland
1 Cumberland

Save: Somerset and Gloucestershire

[politicus]

Result of round 7:

Derbyshire 3
Cheshire 3
Warwickshire 3
Worcestershire 2
Northumberland 2
Shrosphire 2
Oxfordshire 1
Lancashire 1
Cumberland 1

Bolded ones eliminated.

No safes chosen, since we voted on six different options. Votes for safes will be carried over to the next round, where those that haven't voted in this round can pick their safes.

[politicus]

Round 8:

Vote to eliminate three counties by voting 5, 3, 1. Protect one county by voting -3.

Before this round seven counties have no elimination points: Norfolk, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Yorkshire.

Only Norfolk, Sussex, Oxfordshire, the West Country, Welsh Marches and the North remain, so no "soft targets" left. All interesting places in very different ways.

Worcestershire 5
Oxfordshire 3
Sussex 1
 
Northumberland -3

[Cranberry]

5 Shropshire
3 Lancashire
1 Shropshire

-3 Devon

[politicus]

5 Shropshire
3 Lancashire
1 Shropshire

-3 Devon

You can not vote twice for the same option (standard survivor rule). I will just disregard the 1 point when counting the result, but you are welcome to give it to another option.
