Thank you everyone for participating in another great Save That Contest. Thank you for anyone and everyone who helped with updates and pointing out errors I may have made. Always appreciate it!

So...how did your favorites do? Any surprises? Who went out to early? Who stayed in too long?

**Update for the next Save That. I have decided that I will no longer run Save That's during late November and the entirety of December. Those are important and personal times for people, and rather than skipping days, it would be better if there wasn't a contest running during that time. With that said, I would still like to do one more this year, and as these take about 2 months to do, the poll for the next Save that will begin September 1.

Thanks again, everyone!

Pretty fun contest this time. Seeing my boy Grovyle get 4th and a pair of Lupin characters in the top 10 was great.
---

The last character I cared much about was Locke, so the top 10 weren't too interesting. But of them I am glad Carmen won. I do remember the old quiz shows, and the theme of that cartoon is pretty catchy. I even had one of her really old computer games. Vaan out too soon! I think I missed that round.

---

Have you done a ninja one already?

(Damn CE and it's lack of archives)

---

My top pick Mary went out waaaaaaaay sooner than I wanted her too. And poor Marisa didn't stand a chance once 2 votes started.

I expected my boy Sly to do well. I just thought he was more popular and was gonna do even better. Meh, was too lazy to get into vote trading so 10th place is good enough.

Carmen making it this far was a surprise. Never played the games as a kid.
---

By chance, do you have a list of who nomd which winners of these matches?

That, I don't have, unfortunately.

I didn't expect Yondu to make it the farthest of all my noms. At least one of my noms makes it to Top 10, so I was surprised that non of them made the Top 20.

I wish Balthier, B. Jenet, and Wolf would have made it farther than they did..

maybe. who can say for sure? i expected a ton of peeps to make it further. like y'know. gambit and jack sparrow i felt were fantastic noms. robin hoods up there for sure.

I got 2 nominees to the top 5 (Nami & Jayne), so I'm pretty pleased. Carmen was a neat winner, really retro, wouldn't have figured she would do this well.

@3PiesAndAFork

Looking at past Save That's I found that Gambit won Save That Marvel Character and came in 24th on Marvel vs DC, so while he can't win them all, he has a pretty good track record.

Balthier

Yeah, shoulda gone further.

---

I skipped most of this contest and only jumped in for the last 30 or so, but helping Marika get all the way to 3rd was fun.

Trogdor the Burninator

This will never stop being funny to me. The only meme character to ever win one of these contests.
---

To add to a couple of the winners off the top of my head:
Star Wars Character: Obi-Wan Kenobi
Horror Character: Cthulhu

I can find the whole list of all the winners of mine in a bit.

Great contest; I know I wasn't super active in this one, but this was a really cool concept. Sad Jack Rackham went out so early; anyone who likes pirates should really check out Black Sails. Amazing show, and Jack is an amazing character.

Wish The Grinch had made it further too, really thought he had a shot at the top.

Carmen is an absolutely awesome winner IMO, happy with the end result.
