Oh no, poor Mog. :(
---

What kind of RNG was that you used?

Sucks as usual. 3 of the top 5 from that 9's group got cut.
---

Anima getting booted means the system works

No RNG, new tiebreaker.
---

Lot of new guys Ive never heard of and not many returners I care about either, but Im on the same main as usual so it doesnt really matter

In true Save My fashion, the ones who got to 9 first were safe.
---

the most random number of all, post number of final nomination
---

The only 9 miss I'm sad about is Aranea, but it's probably good that she won't get softbooted three times in a row. Ardyn missing is a big fail, though.
---

@DoomTheGyarados hey are we still on for Red Mage/Light this year?

Yikes. If I had known that was some new rule I probably wouldn't have bothered. Kinda makes for a pretty dull finish.
---

Eh, oh well.
---

This will be a trying year working night shift, but do your best everyone!

#DarkNationNation
#TheDarkNationRises
---

It's dull but more fair

People who commit to their causes early rather than albatrossing noms late are rewarded
---

I feel like having 4 FFXIV characters in is gonna backfire badly...

Lopen said that the tie-breaker was suppose to be something else. Like based on who hit the nom list first.

Looks like you just went with what I thought it was.
---

I said "first to hit noms" when I meant "nom number" like you said. Wasn't trying to correct you.
---

We generally agreed last year that it would be much more fair to decide cuts that way. When I pulled up the old rules, I forgot to change that part, but I decided to run with the change since it had already been discussed and wasn't just coming out of nowhere. I don't like that it caused some confusion, but I'd rather do that than stick with a definitively worse option solely because this site can't be bothered to allow edits to the OP past an hour.
---

Bleh, if I had remembered to come back I was going to use my last nom on Irvine :(
---

Must have been a discussion I didn't see. Not like it's a big deal or cost me something I actually was pushing for.

You know, like someone did to me last year with Basch. Would have been nice for that rule to have existed then.
