sigh
---

phew, good ending

enjoy your retirement
---

don't worry you can have your bot run contests until Celes finally manages to win

that's all for me folks

thanks for all the memories my FFVIII people

yes even you pjbasis

(don't let Squall get hard booted or lawyered okay)
---

i knew i would only need to save squall once
---

Everyone else motivated me to do it and it actually ended up not being that bad, go figure
---

Uh I'm not letting squall get sub top ten
---

Thanks for running these.
---

next time Celes is in the finals and somebody says oh it's over she got this I'm gonna go awol

Thanks for running these.

Yeah, you're welcome. I know I complained a lot (and I tend to give other contest runners leeway to vent because I know it can be frustrating at times), but I think I had more good times than bad.

I think.

It was pretty close.

you wouldn't know this since you weren't participating in the bot contest but this somehow kept happening there too

namely MWC who at multiple points tossed votes to her opponents "to make it close"

I cry every time
---

At least you're going out on a high note instead of passive-aggressively bashing the whole contest and the people who participate in it.
---

(although as someone who's wished for a Celes win in his own contest congrats on your Squall... part of me is just jealous since i've gone down this road 7 times in half a year)
---

Thanks for running things Leon. You were a very good host imho.

I mean you're gonna have to try harder than that to approach my levels of passive-aggressiveness

hopefully someone new will show up to counterbalance your bad taste in characters since I won't be there anymore

yeah I can sympathize with you

I tried not to get personally invested every year but I always failed at it

I tried not to get personally invested every year but I usually failed at it

yeap I know exactly the feeling so I don't blame you for any of the negative mood stuff

at least I'm glad this can end on a positive note for you

Secret plan worked

yeah MWC is pretty bad about that too

I can't believe MWC finally got axed right before I quit hosting

I guess it's fate

Thanks, man. Good luck with Barret/Yuna/Ramza in the future!
---

What did MWC do this time and is he gone forever??

oh right and by the end of the match I had like 4 browsers each on 2 computers (FF, Edge, Chrome, Opera) and was just opening up my phone before the match ended

so while I didn't win, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun with it this time!

... if I was prepared from the start there'd be trouble!

not sure but I remember someone saying they think he got a usermap axe

I imagine it was a lifetime achievement award

yeah that's why I wanted to do something different with the finals this time

we can goof around a little bit since it's non-canon
---

Yea like I said earlier it ended up being not the nightmare I thought it would be since it went so quickly

So good job
---

yeah once people actually start participating it flies by pretty fast

it's not as tedious as you'd think
---

your presence will be missed, Leon

that and your snark
---

well we're getting ready to have a Character Battle so you'll still be seeing plenty of snark from me during SMFFFC season

it'll just be in a different place
---

Anyways I enjoyed your hosting Leon. Things were fair and there werent really big drama moments or anything to complain about. A shame neither of us got our favorite to win after all this time, but its been fun trying.

i'll miss having a host i feel comfortable asking literally anything to
---

Thanks, man. I hope Lightning manages to win one of these days.

well you are always welcome to visit the SELF topic if you need to ask me anything

as are most of the rest of you
---

but can leon calculate and post an ascii time graph of your saves throughout the contest if you ask

(actually now that I've recently gotten into scripting png images I'm thinking about something I can automate bot to create a picture and upload it to a website... hopefully I can make bot create and upload images to like imgtc or something that embeds)

but can leon calculate and post an ascii time graph of your saves throughout the contest if you ask

since you asked nicely

no I cannot
---

sorry gmun if I wasnt busy I would have saved more than 4 times
---

well i certainly didn't expect to get back to see this was over
---

Hey Leon, thanks for believing me when I told you I didn't break rules. You could have very easily cast me into a dark pit never to be seen again and while you are very snarky with me I always appreciated that you gave me a fair shake despite it causing you a headache.
---

sometimes I wish I had

Squall could've won CXVII if not for that Steiner stuff

I'm mostly joking. As a host, I always tried to be fair above all else even to my own detriment. I know we haven't always gotten along, but I respect you as a competitor. Would've been nice if we could've been on the same side once.
---

How did I miss the final round. I swear I looked for it.

Whatever right one won
---

Oh I see it was run deathmatch style no wonder

Feels like that would've been the easy way for Celes to steal a win. Playing with fire!
---

what's life without a little risk
---

yay Squall, yay Leon

Totally thought GMUN was going to singlehandedly give Celes a victory in that format.
---

ya go my Squall

thanks for all your help over the years dude
---

suddenly imitators and impostors everywhere
---

damn i gotta get in on this
