Before we kick things off tomorrow, I'd like to address the most important topic at-hand: the round schedule. I'm perfectly willing to run rounds every day with a few breaks here and there. I'm willing to consider running two rounds on some days.

But before I make any such decisions, I'd like to hear what people actually want to see. If the general consensus is to stick to Leon's patterns, then that can certainly be the plan, albeit with a few deviations here and there.

So go ahead and tell me exactly what you all want to see, and I'll do my best to accommodate.
---

3am rounds
---

no breaks

rounds all day every day

No breaks imo, unless you have to. Bring back Sunday funday.

Also @KommunistKoala

ARE YOU READY FOR THE YEAR OF VINCENT?
---

One break a week. Preferably on the weekend.
---

Leon-like schedule is fine by me

I think having a day off on a day when most people can be expected to be around is silly. Leonhart only did it for religious reasons. Bring back Sunday rounds imho
---

i don't want this to take over 3 months

having it be over sooner would be better.

no breaks with double rounds at times if there's going to be a regular time these go up.

one round a week

two year contest
---

last year you said to run the contest never, so I'll take that as a sign of approval

No consistency, breaks can happen whenever, rounds can happen any time of day so long as we it's generally once a day, back to back rounds do need to be a possibility.
---

Pretty indifferent on days off vs. none, but I liked having semi-regular start times for rounds
---

all around me are familiar faces

In fact run rounds only on Sundays, non-stop to make up for all those roundless Sundays under the previous tyrannical regime!

I mean that's still my preference, I'm just trying to compromise here
---

No break days, they were dumb

Running time is probably best right around current hour
---

Sundays are now designated Double Round Days
---

24 hours of rounds, forever.
---

i like the occasional announced day off. doesn't have to be consistent. don't care too much about start time, but if i had to pick i'd like to see it a bit more unpredictable than Leon.

i support this

24 hours of rounds this year, please!

Real talk, what I'd like the round schedule to be:

Somewhat irregular- predictability is boring but throwing in a 3 am round during the hard boot portion is cruel and I won't endorse it. That said a dead of night round or three somewhere in the middle keeps things fresh

No breaks- unless you have to. You're only human and I'm sure you have other things to do with your life, but having a day set aside as a rest from the contest, particularly a day when most people are at their most available, was always asinine

2 round limit- Only a crazy person would want a constant strong of rounds. 1 or 2 per day please, preferably doubling up when we're running through the boot portion that's NOT FoG (those are stressful enough without two in one day), and when you've taken a day off recently to make up for the lost round

That's about it. I don't ask for much but the contest I know and love back!

Use random.org to determine each rounds start time, and how many rounds per day

And make it possible to have multiple rounds running concurrently
---

Ask GMUNs bot if we should have a round every hour

Yes that also means go straight to the next round even if one round is still going
---

Preferably no dead of night rounds ever, but if they must happen then please just wait until after boots.
---

Let it be known that my list of supported characters this contest will be limited to

Irregular style rounds, like FFD/raytan. Late night rounds, early morning rounds, definitely no set day off and especially not a weekend day set off.

100. Dead Last Stats

CV - 31/60
CVI - 47/65
CVII - 28/70
CVIII - 67/75 (Booted)
CXI - 56/75
CXII - 61/75
CXIII - 70/75
CXIV - 73/102
CXV - 92/100 (Booted)
CXIX - 29/100
CXX - 100/100 (Booted)

Just one year after her best appearance by far, everything bottoms out once again. Ultimecia's made a habit out of just barely missing getting booted - that is, aside from her tickets for entry into the increasingly less exclusive Triple Boot Club. With this finish, she drops from 31.77% to 28.98%, falling past Paine, Irvine, Firion, Exdeath, Bahamut, and Cid Pollendina and lands in 99th... which just so happens to be where she was prior to this two contest stint, though she is a bit higher percentage-wise.

Aw yeah stats

No STATS for the late round since it was a debut, but I do need to post these here still...

99. ROBA'S LEAST FAVORITE STATS

CII - 16/45
CIII - 42/50
CIV - 45/55
CV - 37/60
CVI - 39/65
CVII - 40/70
CVIII - 47/75
CIX - 48/75
CX - 59/75
CXI - 12/75
CXII - 30/75
CXIII - 46/75
CXIV - 84/102
CXV - 67/100
CXVI - 61/100
CXVII - 57/100
CXVIII - 81/100
CXIX - 69/100
CXX - 99/100 (Booted)

Last year, Leon noted Shadow's remarkable ability to do poorly without ever managing to get booted, so I guess you could blame him for blowing his cover. Before this year, Shadow had the worst STATS of any character to never get booted, but only 3 top half performances in 19 contests was bound to catch up to him eventually. With this, Shadow falls from 39.14% to 37.18%, dropping past Relm and Bartz into 79th.
