Whoa has FF4's roster ever been that small?
---

Second thing: Do you all want to go ahead and start the contest tomorrow or wait until Thursday? I'll leave it up to you guys if you just want to dive right in.

("Right now" is not an option)

Third thing: We will have no Sunday rounds again this year. This works best for me on a personal level, so we'll stick with that again. Plus, I think some people liked having a designated day off.

If I remember anything else that needs to be addressed, I'll post about it later. If you have anything you feel needs to be addressed, feel free to bring it up.
---

Minwu and Dangerous Ariana alone are good enough to carry this dreadful batch of newcomers
---

start this contest never
---

I'm fine with either start day.

What time of day can we expect rounds to go up? I remember last year there was a fairly regular schedule and I liked that a lot.
---

Tomorrow works.

Is there a timeframe or just whenever?

I would expect most rounds to start in the early-to-mid afternoon because it coincides with my work schedule, but I might mix it up with some earlier or later rounds on the days I don't work.
---

This year shall be dangerous
---

Dangerous Aranea
---

Should I bring back CIDPICS and try to push my boy?
---

anyway I hope you're all ready for 8 more years of Kuja in the top 10
---

how about we wait until september
---

i mean we need sufficient time to type this contest

Cidpics are always welcome.
---

Maybe hold off a little longer, maybe until Disney moves to the top twenty?
---

smfffc steps aside for no save my contest
---

i'm with inviso, we wouldn't want save my contest overlap

better wait for disney to finish
---

I bet it would step aside for SMFFFC.
---

I usually like when Save Mys are run at the same time tbqh

They're usually at the same time of day too

Nope. The smallest it had ever been before this was 6.
---

I like when Save Mys start at the exact same second each hour. Sophie's Choice on where to save first.
---

more Bravely than FF4, I like this
---

The downside is it will be much easier for FF4 to keep those 4 characters in

that would be the idea, yes
---

Oh right, there was something else I wanted to propose. I had considered this idea last year but never pulled the trigger on it.

What do you guys think of having a Google Doc to track updates and save times in real time? I would still post updates in the topic for people who couldn't access it for one reason or another, but is that something you guys would be interested in?
---

That would be pretty cool

Though given I'm usually mobile when these things happen I probably won't use it much
---

definitely sounds worth a shot



also king of save mys waits for no other
---

also I'm probably not going to be the most effective tallier this year
---

time to kick Terra off the every contest club

Well, we've lost a member of the club in 4 of the last 8 contests, so there's a 50/50 chance...!
---

Who are the unfortunate soft boots that everyone let die?
---

Dona
---

Real talk I thought you were being funny since I completely forgot she was in last year.
---

Soft boots we lost: Dona, Cidolfas Orlandu, Edge, Benjamin, Tyro

So yeah, we lost half of them.
---

designated days off sounds awesome
---

Oh right, I still have to redeem Gau.
---

Me and Natwaf be carrying Echo.

Which means we're screwed once the 3-save rule is in placed.

I have to thank him for taking care of all the trades for Echo so I didn't have to.
---

How serious are Lightning's supporters this year? I ask again, my friends.
---

you were the Lightning in that rain
---

She's not going to be an early priority for me, but when things get down to it the goddess will not be denied her rightful saves
---

the Vincent Vanguard (patent pending) is still accepting applications! this can be our year...!
---

Lightning supporters will continue to get her second place finishes.
---

looking for someone who wants to form the Hart Foundation between Squall and Tifa this year

The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
---

Is voltch not tradin with you this year or do you mean strictly Squall/Tifa trades?

I can work with multiple people, although voltch and I don't really need each other for the first half of the contest

but I'd like to see Tifa get a good finish again because she's struggled recently

I'm also game to help Aerith finally get her first top ten if someone's up for that too
