I'm a nerd that likes to reminisce so much has changed in the 5 years since this game launched and I remember getting the "pre-order" Tidus and Warrior. I have played logged in 1800 days starting today which means I've at least booted the game almost every day since launch which is a little weird to admit. There are times where I miss the basic premise of this game but it is still a lot of fun.

I'm watching BB13 and I'm so sick of it. Like I now know why people think Big Brother is rigged lol.
---

Eaed

There is a lot of conversation here about the 1 tribal vs 2. The standard has been to have 13 at the merge and with a person from EoE likely coming back in the game, it will need to go down to 12 so that it can come back up to 13. So just based on logistics I think it will be two people that will be voted out which sucks cause the only tribe I don't want to lose anyone from Dakal but they don't stack up quite as well but I also don't want to lose any more old school people which I think is highly possible with if the Sele tribe goes because those 3 boys are gonna stick together and I doubt they vote out Michele over Parvati. And to top that off Michele is my woman winner pick so I don't want them to lose either lol. So I guess the only tribe I'm okay with losing is the new one cause I don't like Adam lol.

Nevermind, I changed Deathgaze out for Hades and then made sure to do Jecht AOSB with Holy Rage off to get the win. Not my most repeatable performance though.

I beat Lakshimi with Garland chain with Orlandeau and Riku USBs as dps, you're way more stacked than I was when I got my first win on Lakshimi.

Well who else did you have on your team? Should I not be doing the Ellarra Shield and Ellarra Boost?

SSJSephirothGokuX123 posted...

I'm surprised you sub30'd Madeen but can't beat Lakshimi despite all the dark awakenings you have.

Also surprised you haven't beaten Mateus since you have Seifer and Jecht Awakenings, and Typhon can beat beaten with a summoner and Marach/Meia using Voltech (or just use OK.)

I guess pick more for a torment or Odin/6* magicite.

I have no physical dark chain. So I'm doing a bunch of attacks with no damage.

Any of you guys see the potential banners yet?

So I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on my DeathGaze team. I feel like I should be kicking his ass and I came awfully close but I failed in the last 10% when he kind of goes crazy.

1. Firion - Guardbringer, Divine Cross - AASB, USB, OSB
2. Orlandeau - Healing Smite, Lifesiphon - AASB, ASOB, USB, OSB
3. Elarra - Ultra Cure, Haste, Hastega - USB
4. Ramza - Assault Sabre, Full Break - Chain, USB
5. Beatrix - Assault Sabre, Shellega - BSB (imperil Light), USB, AOSB, Holy Glint

I was at 24 seconds with 10% left and just ran out of gas when the Blindja came in and then my doom clocks ran out of time out of nowhere.

> I rewound one moment like ten times over and that was the scene with Parvati and Rob right before Tribal. It's just absolutely insane how magical that was. Like, I don't even know how to describe it. It's before Tribal, and you can see Rob is visibly in game mode, is guarded, is just caught up with this whirlwind going on with his hard game mode voice on and Parvati sits next to him and it's, like... the game left! Parvati just straight up asks this complete armor-piercing question. Like, Rob is ready to strategize with her or talk shop and Parvati's all, "Are they all dumb?" and he pauses on what he's about to say and like his whole aura just changes imperceptibly. He's just loose and chill and like normal, and they just have a normal conversation. Like, Marquesas morning radio loose and there's a pitch in his voice that wasn't there a second ago and they just laugh and it's so freaking amazing and charming and fun. The wavelengths just matched so perfectly, and it was old school charisma magic.

I loved this scene too

<3 love this analysis GTM. I miss you the most buddy!

Is Sephiroth one of the dark AASBs that you have?

No... Unfortunately, I have Seifer, Vayne, Riku, Orlandeau, and Garland.

Eaed

What do you guys think is best to use your tickets on? I have three stockpiled now because I never know what to use them on and I have never gotten what I needed to get me over the hump in some of the realm torments, though I haven't tried in some of the realms I recently got AASBs for.

As for Magicite, I have beaten Phyiscal for Wind, Earth, Lightning, Water, Fire, and Magical for Ice. Neither Holy or Dark, I have like 3 Phyiscal AASBs for my dark team but because I don't have a good chain I never feel like I am able to finish the job. I have Orlandeau AASB for my Holy Team but my magicite deck was too weak to finish deathgaze before the doom timers. I am fortunate enough to have the Golbez Chain and Vayne AASB but I just kept falling short there so I think I need to get that magicite deck up too and maybe I can finish Madeen.

Squall with just his OSB is probably worth dropping for another healer (Elara preferably.)

Which Noel USB do you have? The imperil one or the one with chases?

Imperil.

Squall was there as an attempt to keep him out of savage mode. But I also worked my way up to a 99 Manticore would that do that job?

34. Survivor: Edge of Extinction (Season 38)

I don't have it dead last, the premerge was too fun for me. But it is down there because of this dark cloud more than in reality.

Reynold probably should have been back by now but he fits in a very overcrowded category of cocky male challenge beasts. Who else would be in got Caramoan?

On the Kellee thing I thought that was very well handled and this is what I expected from them. I know many wanted them to do this sooner but I feel like it gave Survivor and Kellee the proper platforms. Survivor the platform to admit their mistake and Kellee the opportunities to help others like her. Probably should have topped it off with some cash but Cia must have broken the bank you know, after she gave Jamal 85k less dollars.

Just to clarify, neither Chris U nor Tommy were eligible for Winners at War as they were not yet declared winners when casting happened.

Todd was cast but dropped out at the last second for unknown reasons. His replacement was Adam.

Earl did not participate as his wife gave birth to a very premature baby shortly before filming.

Chris D went through casting but did not pass the physical exam.

I would also have to imagine that the Dan of it all cause the lack of Hatch of it all.

I also like Darkx rankings, with a few exceptions. I liked Aaron, and Tommy. I would put them up with Lauren. I would also raise Elaine up with Jamal. Also, Karishma drove me nuts so I would lower her too. Maybe I'm not as close as I thought because I found Dean entertaining idiot like a dime store Keith Nale.

The Dan situation ruined this season. I thought it was gonna be with DvG with the premerge, I enjoyed it that much and it has had a colossal collapse and like I even like the episode after the thing BUT then they did that twist that split tribe into 2 that forced a pagonging. And went from a top half season to a bottom half for me, and a bottom 3 for most people.
---

Eaed

Yes; the men in the Amazon were very unwilling lol
---

Eaed

I think there is too much flak of "why now, not then?" Its simply because Survivor wasn't smart enough about the first incident. They didn't think of day 3 as something that should have required a warning and therefore, they were one step behind the 8 ball when the merge happened and that's why he was just removed now not then. That being said, Survivor has learned from this situation already. Stephen said on KIA yesterday that the cast members of 40 were told up front about touching and that they were taking a no tolerance policy going forward, period.

Should they have known this already? um duh! but the fact is things are being made to right this going forward.

Sometimes bad things have to happen for things to be fixed. Hopefully we will never have a Ted/Ghandia, Rich/Sue, Dan/Kellee moment again.

He got ejected on day 36, after Elaine was voted out. It should've been part of the finale, but it wasn't, probably because they'd rather get it out of the way now.

This. It seems they want the episode part of the final to be as clean as possible.

I don't know why you all don't like Dean. He's so hilariously stupid. If he was doing this stupid stuff to help the people you liked, you all would love him. Dan certainly deserved to go, but I'm going to be sad that we don't get to see Dean misplay the fake legacy advantage and get voted out next. It would've been a great Siska-like exit for him.

The thing with Siska is that, ultimately, his stupidity didn't hurt anyone but himself. Same with Drew Christy. Dean, meanwhile, has failed his way into the final 5, with a decent chance of making the final tribal council. Because of Dean, Karishma went out, Elaine went out, Chelsea went out, Kellee went out, and all of them were more interesting characters.

Doesn't that make him a dime store, Keith Nale? You know, without the loveable qualities?
---

Eaed

If you disagree with me that's your prerogative and I completely understand. I don't know how or why but I'm able to compartmentalize the whole thing but that's just where I'm at right now
---

Eaed

Two things:
I think we have a better late than never moment here with Dan. It is clear, and it is completely unacceptable, that Survivor didn't understand or know how to handle the situation but, they did learn from that situation. And if you see Kellee's comments I think that's part of what she's saying but obviously I won't speak for her.

Um, I still like this season. It won't be a top half season, or maybe even out of the bottom 10, like I thought it was going into the merge. I'll be watching the finale I guess to see if there is anything that can happen to move it up.
