This is an interesting discussion, because I largely agree with you in everything but tense, as I think much of that is past tense (much, anyway, not totally!)

I think when you say Save My you mostly mean FF since I tend to be usually uncaring in Disney aside from maybe one year. So let me explain how I got into SMFF to begin with as it wasn't something I even noticed at all until Marche/Light one year where I may have not even voted or anything but I was like 'wtf FFTA sucks' and then I was around the following year.

I have a friend, her name is Joy, and she calls me her Just Hufflepuff. I love her with all of my heart and would take a bullet for her and she is squarely right in that description of me. I operate under my own sense of justice. It can be skewed, it can be corrupted with my emotions, but I have always sought just outcomes as best as my perception allows them to be. When I was a child I saw the Red Wings lose a heart breaking series in the WCF to the Blues (90 or 91) and decided to root for them since they had lost and that was sad. Cue a dynasty.

Same reason the Cubs drew me. They were so sad and not good I wanted them to do well so I rooted for them.

I have always loved a good underdog story. I have always, in my own often skewed view, tried to make things fair and good. So I remember clearly the moment where I cared about SMFF.

It was the day Inviso mocked Steiner the year Zack won the contest. I think it was mnk, maybe not, was asking for support for him. Inviso comes strolling in and just mocks the poor guy and that... pissed me off. It really did. I had characters I liked more and from then on I went "Fuck that, Steiner is going to beast one day." It's silly motivation, I realize. How absurd to care that much over a random thing but like most people I used it as a chip on my shoulder to motivate me to competition. Except, you know, Board 8 Save Mys don't matter whereas I could have used that chip elsewhere.

Much of the rest is history. I let my mood on any given day sway what I do. Sometimes there's no need for words, sometimes I wanted to inflict insult to injury and pour as much salt into the wound as possible. If I was bitter about something else I'd be sure to inflict that bitterness onto someone whom I felt deserved it that day.

The problem in mafia. The problem in Save Mys. The problem with any board competition is that a motivated Chris is capable of a lot of really great things in his life, and when he wastes his time on meaningless things of course he isn't going to have rivals on an equal playing field - because no one should give half as much of a fuck as I have done in years previous.

It's why this year I just saved Red Mage and then just saved Cloud, although I do admit I took the time to kill one character but really insulting my main the day I have a 103 fever Nanis did have that one coming a little bit.

I will say though Steiner utterly crushed because of Gravy though. Dude would not leave me alone to ensure victory. Scary dood.
