That is amazing.

Which reminds me what's Paine's success in these things?

I was reminded that she's not even in this, not that I'm particularly surprised.

For the first nine years of this contest, you could count on Auron to consistently finish up near the top. He had 6 top 25s, 5 top tens, 2 finals appearances, and 1 championship. It's been a bit of a struggle since then. He only has one top ten finish and three top 25 finishes overall in the last ten contests. It always felt unlikely that he'd ever get booted though, but here he is. Which is more embarrassing: Getting booted or losing the finals to Lulu? Tough call, really.

With this placement, Auron drops from 71.53% to 68.03% in the STATS, falling from 14th to 18th place. The fall in the New Era STATS is even more precipitous due to the smaller sample size and relative lack of success. There, Auron slides from 65.28% to 55.24%, dropping from 25th place to 40th place.

Well I mean... at least Lulu only narrowly won so being hard booted is easily more embarrassing.

Which reminds me speaking of narow victories Tidus vs. Kefka was the second closest finals win with a gap of 7 votes right? What was the one that was even closer?
---

Gilgamesh beat Vivi by 5 votes in CXI.

vivi/mesh
---

dammit
---

Cool, thanks.
---

A Vivi Hard Boot would be really interesting, upon thinking about it

But never happening

I would've said the same thing about Kefka. And now that Vivi's won twice, there's probably even less casual interest in saving him.
---

Kefka had already been booted once before last year!

The FFIX crew hasn't expanded to include Hippaul and Baku yet so Vivi is probably safe this year.
---

Auron now too? Shame on all of you.
---

Man this is what i get for napping huh
---

Oh hi guys
---

hey Dante

what's for dinner
---

I'm trying to figure that out
---

Wheres gatarix
---

spaghetti imo

with garlic bread
---

If we nominate enough Black Waltzes I bet Vivi could get booted. Toss in Queen Brahne and Blank for good measure.
---

I'd rather have Zorn than Blank

or Garland FF9 just to make saves confusing
---

i got a burrito instead
---

you know who FFIX really needs next contest

Bobby Corwen

Blank is a pretty cool dude

---

I've had a sushi burrito, so a spaghetti burrito doesn't sound out of the realm of possibility.

Indeed he has.

From the wiki:

[12] Final Fantasy IX:
Adelbert Steiner
Amarant Coral
Beatrix
Black Mage No. 288
Blank
Eiko Carol
Freya Crescent
Garnet Til Alexandros XVII
Kuja
Quina Quen
Vivi Ornitier
Zidane Tribal

Who is Black Mage No. 288
---

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Mage_No._288
---

the 288th black mage presumably
---

Oh

I looked at it and thought a random number entirely was picked >_>
---

I nominate black mage no. 69
---

Sounds like we need Marcus and Cinna and Ruby in.
---

nice
---

also I'm still in for hippaul
---

yeah but could zidane beat end game hippaul in a race

he IS so slow he almost gets trapped in the forest and got saved by nice guy Blank
---

~RACE!~ Hippaul vs Zidane
---

Zidane is a terrible thief

stupid Fairy Flute
---

lets see you steal the fairy flute
---

I don't claim to be a master thief
---

I'm pretty sure Zidane's steal chances are by far the lowest in the series, and he has the competition of Thief generics from FFT.
---

When Zidane mugs you he's mostly just killing you.
---

Great cidpic
---

Ah, was busy with all my football stuff that I forgot to do my Cidnopsis yesterday. Gonna rush this one, so I apologize for quality.

I am very proud of this Cidpic today.

Paranormal researcher Yuna and physicist Rikku are trying to prove that Aurons exist in modern society. When strange apparitions appear in Spira, Yuna and Rikku turn to engineer Paine for help. Also joining the YRP is Lulu, some damn black mage that doesn't know she wasn't in the party in X-2. Armed with proton packs and plenty of attitude, the four women prepare for an epic battle as more than 1,000 mischievous Aurons descend on Zanarkand.

... Close enough I guess, no Cid involved but I'd have to do more than I bargained for.

Bobby Corwen

I've said this last contest. I would have Nominated him if I remembered but as you see my activity
---

That is an awesome Cidpic.

I was hoping to catch a round while at the public library. Only internet access I will have until Thursday afternoon.

No such luck.

well that settles it

the Cidpic is already in

I say the rule be changed to "You will have until the Cidpic comes in to discover a lawyering. If one is not found in that time, the result will stand, even if a lawyering exists."
