Board 8 > B8UCA Discussion Topic X-69: One Last Ride

(+) Yeah! (+)

Strife being a fortune teller is kind of comical
---

I must not lose my way as I guide UCA to the end. Please advise me, my king.
---

Compassion...Powerlessness...Love

Unlike many others, your past is one of gentle compassion, standing firm against many others with selfish designs forging a unique path. Said path now leaves you feeling trapped by those same people, waiting to be hunted down and picked apart. The future remains bright, because the choices made will keep you afloat through the power of friendship. Not only from people within the Kingdom, but outside as well. If you require strength, you don't have to look far.
---

Have I become corrupted by my success? Has being the greatest champion in the history of the UCA gone to my head? Have I become a UCA Scrooge, doomed to misery as the doors close? Please guide me, O great sage.
---

Temptation...New Beginnings...Solitude

You are one who built a house of cards upon the backbone of false pretense. It was easy to be tempted. But, UCA (much like a previous reading) has also given you a chance at a fresh start, a means to end well. Whatever you want will be yours and yours alone, provided you breathe life (an inner fire) into said destination.
---

DP's success being built on a house of cards I agree with, at least
---

I would like to have my fortune be read.
---

Sacrifice...Diplomacy...Stability

For much of your life, and even now, you give too much of yourself. In lieu of personal gain, you stand as a figure beyond reproach, loved by all because of those choices. However, now you have the chance to take charge, to provide UCA a vision of its lasting legacy by your own hands. As the bastion of clarity and stability, it is your right.
---

Thank you very kindly.
---

Happy Holidays, UCA!

ONLY 3 PEOPLE POSTED CHRISTMAS PICTURES RESULTS:

Zsig - 7
DP - 3

Nee - 2
David - 9

GTM - 2
Stevie - 1

Apollo/Strife - 6
Tom/Stifled - 4

Boko - 6
Eaed - 5

Sultan - 9
Nick - 2

Eddv - 18 (winner via 4 in a row)
XIII - 8

For full transparency, for anyone who couldn't tell, sultan's vote for eddv at #13 was 7 seconds too early, so it did not get counted. It led to XIII grabbing the chair and almost get a comeback rolling! That score is what it was at the time of Eddv's victory, further votes did not get counted.
---

Wow holy shit

Go boko
---

What an upset by Boko!! And I just went toes to toes with the Champ! The power of showing up and just being a generally likable person is strong with this one!
---

I was starting to forget what non-title victories felt like.
---

So ultimatums?
---

Ultimatums are in the works and will be proposed before Combat is posted
---

Thanks guys!!
---

Revenge is mine.

After some confusion over who's doing what and when, I am prepared to offer you your Ultimata! Congratulations on surviving your first encounter. Will you press on? (please try to decide quick so we can get back on schedule)

@ZeroSignal620 you may guarantee you enter the Rumble 10th or later...or you may advance to the quarterfinals.

@davidponte you may enter a tag team title contendership match with a partner of your choice...or you may advance to the quarterfinals.

(as a reminder, if you take the deal, your defeated opponent continues on in the bracket instead of you. And the prizes get better every round!)
---

Hmm tag titles hmm I'll keep thinking when you need to know by cheif?
---

I advance
---

I advance
---

Contendership? Chill, bro. I already challenged for that belt and David was like, "yeah bro bring it on". Not cool.

I advance.
---

I wonder how much more attractive these ultimatums will get the fewer people take them this round? I'm sure the MM title chance and such will be more worth it the fewer people go after it. Less competition.

They get better, but you risk harder opponents.

No I meant for this round, a lot of people had theirs be "go for the MM contendership" so I'm thinking that as more and more people who had that choose to advance this time, then that ultimatum will be a harder decision for the last ones who haven't chosen yet. Etc. for multiple people who had the same ultimatum.
---

In that case, it'd be more, "Is the person in the contendership match or the one in Ultimatum someone I can beat?" David is on fire as MM Champion anyway (given the reign he has going). The one benefit is who the fuck knows what stipulation is picked...so who knows.
---

I'll do Combat tomorrow
---

I'll just advance
---

I, Zero Signal, advance!

Since we're still waiting on two answers, Combat will be up tomorrow afternoon sometime (UK time, morning US time I guess)

@MajinZidane @Maniac64 @muddersmilk answers asap please
---

Combat will be up imminently.

Failing to answer Ultimatums is not good form though. Boko and Maniac will advance this time - we will assume they choose to advance. However, next time we will assume they choose not to advance.

In other words @MajinZidane and @Maniac64 @muddersmilk if you win this round please actually answer
