Board 8 > Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters XX: Day 97 (RULE CHANGE) [smfffc]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Man you people take this too seriously.

Trading h1 for fang i don't care for who
---

Well I'm just glad that Fang the character doesn't seem to be getting blamed for the result anymore.

With that hopefully smoothed over, I am also interested in an H1 trade for Fang tomorrow

You closed your account over a mafia game why are you judging anyone, MI.

I'll take one of those Fang H1 for Cid P

I wont trade with you since I actually know and like the other 2 characters, but I agree with the first part of your post.

Wow. Okay.
---

I dunno how many people will get an hour 2 save tomorrow. Just gonna Save Fang hour 1 and then try to get a trade with whoever is early enough I guess

yeah was gonna say

That too is taking things too seriously.

Like 80% of people who say I take this thing too seriously take it more seriously than me.

I think Shad and Steiner are the only two I've seen say it that didn't cause me to scoff.

That more had to do with my dog dying unexpectedly and me being in a dark place but sure be an ass.
---

Yeah I am sorry but I am not going to be judged from someone who every so often complete spazzes out over mafia. So save the 'Wow' moment here, MI. I know it is really easy to come in and judge people when you personally don't care about the project but I have seen how bent out of shape you get over mafia so lean some empathy and how it relates. This is like a four month project!

We don't even have to take the account closure, we can take any other times well you flipped out on people for just being bad. Point is don't wave the judgment stick and then accuse me of being an ass. You're the ass.

I'll take this if that's alright MI. I'm going to actually put in an effort to get in early so I want to make sure I have a trade just on the off-chance there's a second hour.
---

Hmm, I thought final 3 was like, a bit into the 2nd hour? I know I misjudged it last year but I thought that was for an hour 3, maybe I'm crazy

As a huge lover of dogs, and an owner of 2, I feel your pain. Dogs >>>>> humans.

Am I misunderstanding the deal Chris offered yesterday, Martin? His posts were

"Hey Ff13 fans. If Vincent survives this round with your help fang will get all my finals votes.

Putting it out there as that's a twenty vote swing since fang is my least favorite left."

and

"One will do. Get Fang to the finals and I am voting for her. Thank you much. "

It seemed to me that it was a deal to save Fang over anyone she might meet in the finals.
---

Also sorry to hear about your dog, I have lost two myself and I understand dark places. But also... don't go around swinging the judgment stick. It doesn't feel good when it swings back.

I believe that was 2 days ago.

Oh wow, those come backs are sure something. After the bot contests I've just been mentally preparing myself for yet another 3rd or 4th place Kefka finish and was sure it would be today.

I totally understand and would accept Fang/Cid people taking each other but I sure hope Kefka can pull it off.

2 days ago, right. Sorry about that.

yeah, you have no business judging someone for flipping out in mafia Chris.
You literally told someone to go kill themselves over a forum game.
---

Ark you've got it right. I think what he is saying though is that as a Vincent save Vincent is the only person who LOST a saver, whereas Cid P and Kefka do not lose a saver.
---

yeah Ark, you're right, but it was the 20 vote swing part. If it's a Fang/Vincent finale then you know it hurts Vincent. If it's a Fang/Anyone Else finale, he might have always intended to save Fang so it would've been no harm. I'd take a sure thing over a maybe but again, I don't know anything.

Also re: these H1 traders, I mean, I don't think people appreciate how few people are going to get a 2nd hour save. A lot of people are going to have a bad time.

And if you are in early enough to get 2 saves, join the Sprite Spite Squad.

Chris: I appreciate the logical dissection and will note that all for next year! I'm still missing how people ae so high on Kefka's prospects considering his limping along but I'll leave it to the professionals.

Is anyone thinking about next year yet?

I would literally love to know the source of this because we had a huge discussion earlier this year and the quote they found was not accurate. This is one of those telephone things where everyone remembered it a different way.
---

I dont know who to save. On the one hand, Kefka will have more shots whereas this is probably Cid Ps only chance. On the other hand, Kefka can beat Fang in the finals possibly whereas Cid P probably cannot. I would be happy with a Kefka or Cid victory, whereas I have no clue who the fuck Fang is since I never played her game. I have her pegged as Paine who sucked, or Lulu who was awesome. Whereas whereas whereas.

Yes, me and swordz have the TWO WOMAN POWER TRIP of Lightning/Red Mage featuring guest host FF1.

He mentioned Fang being his least favorite so I assume Fang wouldn't get the votes normally in any scenario. I could be wrong though, people do sometimes vote strategically in finals. I voted Locke over Vivi a few years ago because I didn't want a repeat champion even though I liked Vivi and hadn't played FFVI yet.
---

hopefully people are thinking about listening to me when Im calling for the complete and utter destruction of this miserable contest next year
---

You've clearly had issues with me for years Chris and I don't know what it's about. But i'm really tired of the way you treat me.

XX is a good stopping point

Valid point though its tough to strategize with 4 people left. You need a lot to go right to make it work out perfectly. Thats why many just vote their 2 favorites and say fuck it.

also Cid/Kefka finals let's do this
---

User728: do what I (and I hope most others) are doing and save Kefka H1 and Cid P H2, if you get in quick enough... or just hold your one save until the end.

btw I laughed at your post about how funny it'd be if Fang won when Lightning didn't all those other times... it would be brutal.

Well this topic is depressing to check after raiding.
---

Also if I ever told someone to kill themselves over a forum mafia game, which strikes me as extremely out of character given my thoughts on suicide and mental health, that is without a doubt wrong of me but I believe this reference is the same one I cleared up where everyone remembered it a certain way and the way I actually said it wasn't the best thing (basically you shouldn't be thinking about the game and just replace, stop playing and get help) and even included a post game apology as I even realized that wasn't good enough for such a serious thing.

And honestly I probably won't be spiting you for this even if that's my first reaction because the happier I am the less spiteful I grow every day. After the round I had a great phone call with someone who makes me the happiest so... meh. Maybe Martin will burn something to the ground he seems eager lol

I remember Inviso running a contest of his fav characters around the start of this one, you should run that! Let me know if you do and I'll participate, so long as Cissnei is in it...

If Lightning had ever won, I wouldn't support her either! I'm very consistent on no repeats! Or no more repeats now, I suppose.

Anyway, are we good on our Cid/Fang trade deal tomorrow? I believe in a small second hour
---

It was mercs, not mafia, or at least that's how i heard it
---

Mercs would break 95% of you.

I'm gonna take a risk and say yea Roba, I'll try to be on top of the round going up as well

If by some miracle I can get 2 saves, theyre both definitely getting my support. Assuming I dont get 2, Ill probably just hold it until 1 character goes out. And yes, the Fang win would be hilarious from the Fang/Lightning perspective of things. I have no dog in FF13 since Ive never played it, but Id be so pissed if, for example, I kept pushing Sabin into the top 3 and kept failing, then someone like Gau stepped in next contest and destroyed the place after a Sabin lawyering.
