Okay humor me this I guess - if someone goes through all four of those steps and one of their allies, let's say their closest ally, has a power that can keep them in the game even after veto/eviction (ie Sam's extra life), but they choose not to use it, is it still a backdoor since there was still a potential escape for them?

Olimar was my second-main in Brawl (probably the Smash game I played the most) and I have not been able to get into the Pikmin games no matter how hard I've tried.

Just sounds really pedantic to me, especially since it's a player-coined term and not a production-coined term.

I guess as someone who has only seen a few seasons that just seems like a really insignificant difference to me.

This is why it's been muddled over time. It's a small but important detail to the definition.

I guess my thing is I still don't understand why that particular detail is so important when the result is still the same.

But why is that an important factor to the definition that BB historians get nitpicky about it? Like, can we say "the classic backdoor isn't possible anymore so this version of the backdoor (backdoor V2, let's say) has evolved and allows them to play in the veto because the veto draw is now beyond the HoH's control"

A backdoor only occurs when someone doesn't play in the veto and then are re-nommed. Playing in the veto (and losing) and then getting re-nommed isn't considered being backdoored.

I guess I really don't understand the distinction, as a relative BB newbie. As long as the don't win the Veto I don't understand why it matters if they play in it just because that's how it went down the very first time the word was used.

Yikes. Yeah it is a little hypocritical that they decide to play up this one when they actively said that they would not show the Angela/Rachel, JC, and Kaitlyn incidents from earlier in the season.

That being said, as far as JC's comments go, saying the word out loud in that context is bad, but I feel like the comparison, especially given today's sociopolitical climate, is even worse.

Wow, that was a really weird thing for Julie to say. To not only mention something specific that happened, but to mention names as well, it must have been really serious.

Yay! Game Changers avoided the bottom tier! It's probably coming up, but still.

We have a clump of near-tied seasons coming up this weekend. Game Changers is indeed one of those seasons.

Damnit you're not supposed to spoil that stuff host.

The season is actually not bad. There's just a few people that are either obnoxiously boring or outright awful and they are all in tthe dominant alliance.

1 is a cute little rpg to play through but probably not groundbreaking in 2018, 2 is actually sort of legitimately good imo, 3 is garbage

oh but if you do play them you have to play 1 before 2

Yes. It's a two-part continuous story and there is even some save data that you can transfer from 1 to 2. A surprising amount for 2001/2002.

This is very sad. The character designs in Golden Sun were very cool, and I've always enjoyed the hell out of the games.

RIP.

I mean, it's not gone forever? I can just find it again?

If Entei used Roar while trapped in the Whirlpool, he is gone forever.

I did a google and it looks like that is indeed exclusive to FRLG but if you know otherwise let me know

This sounds like an absurd glitch...

I don't know if it's just because I didn't follow certain topics, but from my interactions with him TimJab was so much less insufferable from like 2015-2017 than he was in the past, dare I say I was even a bit sad when he left.
