(+) Yeah! (+)

It was more like 60 votes to Kefka actually. Just a correction.
---

Couldn't ask for many better results than that.
---

Can we at least be notified if there will be any very late/dead-of-night rounds?
---

excuse my ignorance. So is that the end of the hard boots? And now 10 more soft boots?
---

Super-strong indeed
---

Well at least she still proved to be stronger than Seifer!

Correct. And half of the soft boot rounds are still FOG format so yay...
---

I somewhat intentionally let the nomination topic purge because the boot rounds were just about over with.

What's the final count for XX returners and newcomers who never made it out of the boot rounds?
---

Well then!
---

Round tonight...?
---

It's still only 5:30... still plenty of time.

4 - Tama

Still sad I couldn't get her in. Someday, a World of Final Fantasy character will get the respect they deserve.
---

Noms didn't go well for me last year, lol.
---

I can't believe no one else nominated Good King Moggle Mog XII
---

Next year I gotta bring General Leo back, and keep him past boots so I can pair him with King Leo in XXII

then Final Fantasy needs to introduce more titled Leos

84. Quina Quen

CI - 32/40
CII - 42/45 (Booted)
CIX - 51/75
CX - 52/75
CXI - 67/75 (Booted)
CXIV - 85/102
CXV - 48/100
CXVI - 87/100 (Booted)
CXVIII - 17/100
CXIX - 45/100
CXX - 84/100

After a couple years of heightened focus, Quina falls right back to a much more familiar area. Only three of Quina's appearances have reached the top half, and two of those only just. That said, Quina's STATS are a long cry from the bottom ten status they held three years ago. This result does take them down from 33.34% to 31.85% - a drop of three spots to 92nd - but that's still a full 10% higher than their nadir.
---

No STATS for Aranea's second appearance.
---

82. Agnes Oblige

CXVI - 43/100
CXVII - 7/100
CXVIII - 30/100
CXIX - 40/100
CXX - 82/100

Agnes' SMFFFC history was fairly solid coming in - only two characters had more appearances with no bottom half placements than she did, and top tens are fairly hard to come by in general. Unfortunately, one of the major downsides to having few appearances is that one bad placement can poison good numbers for a long time. Agnes takes a big hit here, falling from 71.00% to 60.60% and dropping 16 spots to 29th place in the STATS.
---

no one should ever nominate good king moggle mog the xii

81. Locke Cole

CI - 35/40
CII - 5/45
CIII - 6/50
CIV - 3/55
CV - 7/60
CVI - 9/65
CVII - 17/70
CVIII - 52/75
CIX - 34/75
CX - 17/75
CXI - 48/75
CXII - 14/75
CXIII - 57/75
CXIV - 17/102
CXV - 6/100
CXVI - 12/100
CXVII - 37/100
CXVIII - 2/100 [345-359 vs. Vivi]
CXIX - 59/100
CXX - 81/100

After a long streak of great success in the post-raytan era, Locke seems to have hit rougher waters, with this being his worst performance since his debut back in the first contest. His numbers are still exceptional, with 7 top tens and a narrow finals loss to his name. Even with 20 placements, an elimination in the boot period is still going to hurt a fair bit, as Locke goes from 70.14% to 67.63%, dropping two spots in the STATS to 16th.
---

locke's got the yips ever since he allowed the first repeat champion
---

rise and shine it's double day monday
---

What about Triple Day Tuesday?
---

debuts are not having a good time in boots
---

Did Gaius not have 4 contests for stats?
---

He has 5.
---

So where da Gaius stats, did I miss them?
---

I've been f5ing for days waiting for those stats
---

It must be some new rule where certain characters secretly survive and later return to the contest!
---

I cant wait for Maechen to show back up in top 5
---

Maybe we should try O'aka XXIII again in three contests
---

@th3l3fty seriously tho, can we see Gaius' stats?
---

Tag
---

I hope we can get this last boot round over with sooner rather than later.
---

Glad you did such great work with Reks gen.

Good work all around.
---

Gone, but not forgotten.

80. Gaius van Baelsar

CXVI - 37/100
CXVII - 31/100
CXVIII - 53/100
CXIX - 73/100
CXX - 80/100

At one point, Gaius's numbers would have put him in consideration for a spot in the top 20, but success is hard to maintain when you're not really anyone's top priority. Add in the low number of appearances, and the drops just come that much faster. With this result, Gaius drops from 52.50% to 46.20%, falling 13 spots to 55th.

76. Edgar Roni Figaro

CI - 25/40
CII - 33/45
CIII - 11/50
CIV - 11/55
CV - 3/60
CVI - 1/65 [120-66 vs. Tifa]
CVII - 9/70
CVIII - 29/75
CIX - 21/75
CX - 34/75
CXI - 28/75
CXII - 46/75
CXIII - 43/75
CXIV - 38/102
CXV - 20/100
CXVI - 14/100
CXVII - 52/100
CXVIII - 22/100
CXIX - 60/100
CXX - 75/100

And with that, the first former champion goes down. Edgar has generally done very well for himself, especially in the stretch from CIII to CXI, during which he claimed his oddly low votal victory over Tifa in the middle of two other top ten performances. The last few years have not been quite so kind, with almost as many bottom half performances in the last four contests as the first sixteen combined. With this placement, Edgar drops from 66.14% to 64.08% and falls one spot to 20th overall.
---

I am sick and avoiding being online today because staring at screens will only make it worse, so there are two options

1. no round today with a double round later
2. blind round today
---

lets combine the two
---

Just take today off and rest. Best thing to do when youre sick. If it means a couple days of doubles when youre better or whatever I dont think anybody would mind
