Given the waning hour 3 over the next couple of days, I want to once again make a special shoutout and thank the supporters who have gotten our girl Ritz this far - Wickle, Roba, Karo, Arti, Bubu, as well as the occasional support from lefty, Andy, FFD, and anyone else that I'm forgetting because my memory is atrocious (sorry!). Didn't expect her to surpass her placement last year, let alone by this much.

party on my dudes

for new page because gratitude deserves to be seen by those receiving it!

Oh no back to back FFVIII eliminations

Mewtwo59 warned me this could happen

Oops

I actually saved Seifer entirely because I thought back to back VIII would be sad

Thought Seifer would have been weaker guess not

Xuxon posted...

also very possible Laguna would have made it this far, Janus and Keeby like him too

It's possible

I just like giving lefty a hard time because he thought I essentially doomed them both by saving Seifer instead

Maybe next year he'll join the Laguna Locomotive and we'll ride to the end of the line

Well, I was only able to save Selphie because Seifer was already safe so the end result may have been the same regardless

It is my pleasure, all I ask in return is that you write another fun snowball murder

That's one strong snowball.

No love for me as usual !!

i do appreciate the save today! the gratitude extends to all who have accepted trades for her but the post was geared at those who have given her a save without it being the result of a trade

I'm fairly certain I'm done trading for this contest, but I can likely give Ritz a save moving forward.

Without the added pressure of trying hard to get an H3 save, the only save that really matters is the final rush one.

Which means I have one early save open and no one left to give it to. Ritz is fun enough and the snowballs are enjoyable and she is a Corolla girl

omfg it has been pointed out that I forgot to thank WhiteLens

WhiteLens I love you even though you moved to Ysh'tola for a while once Shara got eliminated ;_;

I may know a character for you to bandwagon, but if hes off the table then Ritz is also acceptable. I sense shes more your style anyway.

and I thank you for the general encouragement of Ritz, no pressure or obligation to save her but we always welcome spare saves in the snowball squad

Snowball Fight #Selphie's Age - Selphie Tilmitt

Ritz drove off from the Smiffficia graveyard where she had just visited gravestone #24. She had heard rumours that her previous victim had survived, but after digging up the grave and further desecrating the corpse, she was satisfied with the results. After all, nobody could have survived such a devastating Reverse Uno.

She flew down the highway in her snazzy as hell pink Corolla while listening to the Inception soundtrack because Hans Zimmer slaps, with the volume cranked and windows down. As "Waiting For A Train" began to play, she saw a Doomtrain crossing in the distance with a young girl, slightly older than she was, standing beside the tracks. Given that Final Fantasy VIII had been on her mind as of late, she immediately recognized this girl as Selphie Tilmitt.

She pulled over on the shoulder and stepped out, wondering why Selphie was standing there by the tracks approximately 37 miles from the nearest food, water, or shelter. She deliberately chose to leave her new wig on the passenger seat, because Selphie might recognize the hair. "Uh, hey! I'm Ritz. Are you uh... okay?" she asked, feigning concern. A girl stranded in the middle of nowhere would make a perfect victim.

"Oh hey! Yeah I'm totally fine! I'm just waiting for a train to come by because I love trains!" replied Selphie. As Waiting For A Train blared in the background, Ritz noted just how fucking meta it was that Selphie had used that particular phrasing. Ritz made a mental note that there were approximately 4 minutes and 25 seconds until the climax of the song. "Doomtrain is supposed to pass by here in exactly 4 minutes and 20 seconds! And omfg is that Waiting For A Train from inception? That's my favorite movie, especially the part with the train! I actually don't watch the rest afterwards because it doesn't have a train." explained Selphie excitedly. Ritz immediately knew she could create a perfect crescendo here.

After a bit of casual conversation, the crossing lights indicating the Doomtrain was approaching began to flash and Ritz heard Hans Zimmer's deep brass horns start to BWOMP BWOMP. She said "I'm really not sorry that I have to do this." Confused, Selphie stood between Ritz and the tracks, and Ritz pulled out a couple of snowballs and began to throw them at her. She threw more of them at an escalating rate, making sure not to throw so hard they'd kill Selphie on the spot. Selphie stumbled back with each snowball, and the intensity of the music grew with each throw. Ritz caught the Doomtrain approaching in the corner of her eye.

As the climax of the song hit, Selphie stepped backwards onto the tracks and the Doomtrain arrived right on time. In a blink and with a thud, Selphie was no more. She had become a victim of both snowballs and that which she loved the most. She would never dream again.

Once the Doomtrain passed, Ritz returned to her unbelievably sickening pink Corolla and continued on her way, changing the song to Dream Is Collapsing in memory of the latest victim.

I guess the Super Secret Squad buried someone else in Quistis' grave to fool Ritz. Too bad Selphie didn't know who she was dealing with when a girl approached her! Good snowball fight as always

it really helps that Ritz canonically knows Final Fantasy, while no one else would have played FFTA

sometimes the best place for a child-size child (who is also a threat) to hide is in plain sight

Condolences FFD. As someone that's always pushed a favorite as hard as they can since this contest's been around, I always feel for those that do the same. People can play however they want I guess, but that's the way I've always played it so that's just my opinion on it regardless of how I feel about the character personally.

But I don't actually dislike Selphie; I'm really a little unsure about my feelings because I need to do an 8 replay.

Even I can admit this is still pretty funny.

Thanks too charon. Yeah I'm basically in "push my underrated (in general) favorites as far as I can" mode for these things now, so anytime Selphie and now Ultimecia can catch a good wind I'm happy. Maybe Shelke (or Aki ((or heel turn Zell?!?!))) next time.

I've said this many times over the years, but Selphie is a fascinating character with how out there she is and the main party getting increasingly uncomfortable and scared of her actions. Glad to see her stats steadily climbing again.

Dream Is Collapsing

I swear if Tidus goes out next round

I will try to give Selphie a worthy tribute, FFD

A bad week for the FF8 girls!

Well at least she went out doing what she loved (annoying people and being around trains)

So I considered pitching this on discord but Ill do it here, thinking of running a tag team save my in the fall where pairings of two separate groups are assigned at the start so youre saving two characters attached to each other

options are

Pokemon + Disney (I own the rights to both save mys so might as well)
Or
Marvel + Capcom (cause I want to take you for a ride bum bum)

How would you choose characters? I imagine there are vastly more Pokemon than Disney characters, for example. Would there be nominations and then they get paired up?

I dont know if I can really participate in either of those because of the four I only know much about Pokmon. But they sound fun. Do what ya wanna do!

Edit: Well no, technically I know plenty of Capcom characters, Id just be voting for Breath of Fire/Phoenix Wright/Onimusha/Mega Man, and not the really big stuff.

I guess I could just vote for whichever tag teams have Pokmon or Capcomon that I like.

Thats what I was thinking, even nominations

if its pokadisney I might be silly and allow like, trainers and Star Wars/marvel/Fox

I'm sure we could come up with 1025 Disney characters if we really tried.

I mean there are over 1000 Pokemon. I'm sure there are 1000 Disney characters if you really dig down but I dunno, I feel like reaching 1000 notable ones would be a stretch. Not all 1000 Pokemon are notable either but how do you pick which ones to exclude, that's my point.

So yeah nominations sound good. Maybe I'll get lucky and get a Venonat/Guy Incognito tag team

I would definitely recognize like 20

Also since so few people have played Dirge, I imagine if I did try to push Shelke next year this would be the reaction of a lot of people

now it's Shelke time

(eh)

rip train girl. Rough couple of days for FF8 girls.

Selphie is pretty wild and fun, definitely underrated.

Both of these sound fun. Or get crazy and do Pokmon + Digimon, but I dont know if Digimon is popular enough on the board.

Do Digimon instead of Disney or Marvel

PLZ

If I knew digimon past like Gabumon I would consider

maybe I buy cyber sleuth

Do Ace Attorney and Metal Gear

Because why not

Ace Attorney would come in via Capcom!

I don't want the rest of Capcom

Or fine just do Mass Effect and Metal Gear
