(+) Yeah! (+)

Wake me up!
Wake me up inside!
I can't wake up
Wake me up inside!
Save me!
Call my name and save me from the dark
Wake me up!

This is the way the world ends

are you kidding me? there was a point where she just needed one save?

I'm sorry Katie/Kate-E/Kate.... :(

Y'all gave it one hell of a run though.

I'll do an hour 1 trade because why not there's nobody left I really care about.

Oh whoops forgot to mention what. Laguna/Minwu

Okay well thats the end. Bittersweet considering she was only one save away but still amazing we made it this far. Id like to thank everyone who contributed at all to make this possible. Thanks to PlasmaKappa, cyan, red, scarlet, Karo, Nanis, Doc, Nee, MI, Paul, Luis, Esuriat, Chaeix, Stifled, Maniac, tennis, Lopen, TexWolf, WolfofLight, gmun, Lightning, Team Lightning, Janus, voltch, Poka, Dante for giving her saves for various reasons. Terribly sorry if I forgot anyone. You are all wonderful people, some more wonderful than others. Thanks to Eddv for accepting my trade deal when I was out on the streets and no one else would. Thanks to Leon for hosting and accepting the bribes and making the start times more convenient for me at times. At least for earlier rounds but I understand you had to change it up to throw people off our trail. Thanks to everyone who complied with saving her as part of deals or trades.

And of course, special thanks to Inviso who was a huge part of this run and for getting me to stick with it in the first place! We never saw this coming but here we are!

Thanks to Mr. Saber, my fifth grade teacher who assigned student numbers and made me #13. Uh I think the music telling me to get off is going to play soon so Ill hurry up. Thanks to my mother for birthing me so I could stay alive for the sole purpose of participating in SMFFFC. Thanks to the entire village of Oerba whose screams of agony still keep me awake at night. Thanks to my influences Kate Winslet, Kate Bush and Kate Upton. Thanks to Yukari Fukui, Sayuri Sugawara, Katrina Jade, Haagen-Dazs, Evanescence, Death, Vanipeti. Thanks to mai husband Zelos, my amazingly kind sister Katie, my beautiful wife Kathy and our two lovely daughters Katherine and Catherine, and our cat Kat for giving me the strength to go on every day. Couldnt have done it without any of you!

Is Catherine the black sheep of the family?

don't let her hear you say that.

Ah man, wish I could have made it back for my H2 Vanille save.

Still a great run for her.

yeah no prob

Thank you too Kate

Sort of an unreal year when both of my trading partners can make it to the end like this.

Was she missing one save to advance? uh, had the round started 5 minutes earlier I would still be awake
Oh well

Yes. 22 out of 23

who will be the next to wander in and ask if Vanille was one save away from advancing

taking bets now

au revoir mon amour

That was a good run

and a good speech

I wish I had a teacher named Mr. Saber
---

I'm ready for this round today. Still trying to decide between Cloud and Laguna though. Honestly thought I never heard of Minwu before googling him, and then I found out I've played and beat his game and still didn't remember him.

Board 8 loves an underdog.
---

someone's going to be disappointed
---

Nah I fully expect Minwu to at least make the finals and know he has a good shot at winning. Board 8 loves an underdog. Just won't be getting my vote.

I obviously haven't been keeping good track of the contest, but given any three possibilities of the final 2 participants, I'd say it would play as so...
Cloud > Laguna
Laguna > Minwu
Minwu > Cloud

Pretty even.
---

i meant if you were ready for a round today
---

Well damn. Need to read more pages.
---

(there hasn't been a round on sunday all contest)
---

No Chick-Fil-A and no SMFFFC

is there a reason to be up on Sundays

I'm fine with that anyway.

I just thought I had heard there was a round between the Finals.

we can take off until thursday and still finish before christmas
---

I was already a little disappointed the round got cancelled Friday, but had I put two and two together then and realized now that we'd have to wait a full day between the last round and the penultimate one- arguably the most important round of the contest- I'd have made a stink about it. Oh well what's done is done.
---

You are free to complain anyway. Being a little late to the party has never stopped you before.
---

Don't you know it's fashionable to be a little late?
---

and really, why is christmas the deadline anyway. we just want to finish in 2017
---

I mean moving the round probably did change the outcome for at least one round, let's see if the trend continues.

And we will.

But on Friday between the hours of 8 A.M. and 11 P.M. I was in my house for a grand total of maybe two minutes so I apologize that my real life ruined the ideal schedule for you guys.
---

But no, like I said it's done. You're not going to put up a(n impossibly) rare Sunday round though that would be a pleasant surprise, and even had I complained at the time you probably wouldn't have put up a late round on Friday so the end result would be the same. No point in making a stink now. It would've been my gut reaction is all I'm saying.
---

Running a Sunday round would be a nice throwback to CXIII's final three, at least.
---

no it helped my ideal schedule

i want as many days off as possible

good work leonhart4

i think theres a great reason to hold off the finals
---

So why was this round so dull
Less than 300 posts
It didn't happen for awhile
---

It lasted about an hour and a half.
---

---

people hashed out every possible finals matchup days ago

---

Nanis how do you feel about Minwu now
