Not bad. Garland isn't high on my priorities but he's cool enough.

Not getting Matoya booted was my main goal this contest, let's see where it goes from here I guess

Intercontest trades aren't allowed, so I would assume intercontest promises also hold no real value.

Pretty decent boots imo! Nothing spicy but the only truly great character who fell is Wiegraf imo.

Still 8 newcomers remaining, and IV and V are deathless. Most importantly, Ghido will live to return next year!

Only regret the Rude boot and feel bad about the Wiegraf and Cindy ones. Otherwise pretty good. Now the blood really starts flowing, especially when we lose H3 even earlier than last year. Lots of big names hanging around in H3 nowadays, after all...

If it weren't for Gilgamesh being Gilgamesh, I could almost see Ghido being last V standing, lol

You also havent lost one in 14 rounds.

And Bottom 20 isn't that terrible. They were all safe by the bottom 8 and I'd say none were really at much risk of going out.

I like your passion MWC, but this is going to be a regular occurrence. Cloud is probably eliminated without you here, and Rufus is usually eliminated around this time. Cissnei and Dark Nation are going to be hangers-on until they're gone, possibly soon. Cait Sith's had to be bailed out repeatedly so far, and even Cid H is only a 3rd hour save at best for several users. It's not going to get any better.

Usually I'm in your shoes trying to keep everybody alive but I'm out of the holding/sniping game now, recognizing maybe more things die if I'm not doing snipe-triage but I just can't do it anymore. Whatever happens, happens. So, passing on the baton of FF7 obsession to you... good luck keeping everything afloat.

Oh hey cool Im not the only Jessie fan! Shes one of my favs from remake for sure but she seemed like one of the more fringe FF7 characters so Im worried whenever I miss a day haha.

Im 100% open to a recurring hour two trade while were in the same format with whoever you want. The only thing is I am probably not the most reliable in this contest and will occasionally miss a day (like I did today) depending on work and stuff.

But if you see me save hour one Ill be there for hour two as well!

i mean, yes it will continue to happen, but it doesnt have to. We literally have enough savers to move the entire game into the top 40 every year if we formulated a plan and traded with each other.

Island of your own watches your own characters die sooner than they need to. Taking every one together helps everyone last longer.

Yeah I dont think FF7 is weak but Id say like half the characters dont have primary backers and are at risk of going out any given day right now. And then there are another couple that are just kept afloat by one or two people and could be in danger if they miss a day.

Yeah, you know what gets rid of that.

Block saving.

There are enough VII savers where we could have the entire game saved by hour 2 right now.

Once the vote barrier comes too high, it becomes everyone for their selves of course.

But let me tell you something, if it gets to the top 30 and 18 characters are VII, you have a much better chance if you are say Barret or Yuffie to beat Dark Nation or Genesis as opposed to like Zidane or Celes.

Let's cull Cloud and Sephiroth and Aerith and Tifa so we can boost Red XIII and Cait Sith, imo.

Thats my point. No one cares about Genesis. So if he is brought to the top 30, along with a lot of other fodder, its an easy multiple spots every year.

The problem is I support more non 7 characters than 7 characters so I dont want all those ships to rise.

And I think a lot of people who save 7 characters are in the same boat.

Final Fantasy IX is actually my fav Final Fantasy and I save as many 7 characters as anyone right now.

Although my two favorite 13 characters and my favorite 8 character were already booted so my list is shrinking.
