Board 8 > Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters XIX: Day 52 [smfffc]

(+) Yeah! (+)

I mean, I would also be okay with pushing Kain over Cecil
---

I would vote for Celes over all the remaining characters save 5 or so, so if yall want to see me vote for an FF6 character in the finals make it happen
---

I would vote for Celes over most of the characters left, so if you want to see me vote for an FFVI character in the finals two years in a row make it happen
---

dammit I won't let you convince me to stop backing Ashes in need

Looking for a Cid alliance.

I will save Cid in the first hour in exchange for you saving Cid in the first hour.

Quoted for new page.

Ramza won't die until this goes to 4

Then I may need help
---

I would also vote for Ashe over most of the characters left, so feel free to push her, too...!

Alright, for Vivi

Celes can do really well if me and Inviso shift over. I mean Yankees has always been her core support but me and Inviso are certainly more readily available players

...not sure you read that properly

That's not a bad idea. I should offer that.

Lol Bane

fun fact I actually have voted for an FF6 character in a final three times already!

EXPOSED
---

Can you make one for me anyway
---

No, I don't think people deserve Cidpics if they aren't saving Cid.

I think I will offer the following - if you make two saves/trades for Cid (you must offer the trade, not accept it), I will give you a Cidpic of your choice. That means, you cover 2 Cid saves, you get to choose the character for the Cidpic. I guess I'll also offer that you can choose the movie for the Cidpic as well.

I need to stop sleeping in.

The Minwho Alliance needs me to get on the ball!

what, you're going to stop pinging @GenesisSaga ?

Sorry guys I totally forgot about this. I'll get Ultimecia first thing tomorrow.
---

I feel like maybe people who forget next round or next hour saves should wait to make trades until they actually have a trade available

But what do I know
---

Or at the very least, should get charged interest

You people are far too kind to these people who are reneging on their deals
---

I mean the most you can do beyond getting an NR out of them is just refuse to trade with them in the future

NR for Barret

please get Vincent

got it
---

Well no one is even doing that! It's a spineless economy. No one is held accountable.
---

I've totally forgotten before and been bailed out by FFD, so i'm all about forgiveness

we just gotta avoid trends starting
---

there are definitely people I am reluctant to make deals with because of past transgressions
---

Look I offered people to trade with me early, aka the Iron Bank, and only mnk and Eddv agreed each time
---

lifetime ban for any trade reneging

ban can be lifted for $4.99
---

can i instantly refill my stamina and save again for $4.99 as well
---

How about we start a wide spanning contest alliance that enforces trade embargos

I'll even start trading just so I can be involved in this
---

brb setting up a Venmo account

for reasons totally unrelated to SMFFFC

So we basically become this giant horde that refuses to do business with people who are late on saves/forget NRs?
---

Absolutely. It's the only way we can address this problem. Otherwise these rogues will continue to abuse the lack of consequence to their actions. It would be anarchy.
---

although i do not entirely agree with your zero tolerance policy, i appreciate your end goals

i will allow you to wave the banner of CONTROL
---

down with kaos

up with Control
---

I'm seeing unanimous agreement

Now it would be unfair to enforce an embargo now on rogues illuminatusbubu and GenesisSaga now, but let it be added to the record for future sentencing concerns.

Who is the official record keeper. I nominate Dr Mog savers. All of them.

49. OCTOPUSSTATS

CXII - 53/75
CXIII - 3/75
CXIV - 55/102
CXV - 72/100
CXVI - 53/100
CXVII - 47/100
CXVIII - 62/100
CXIX - 49/100

Except for his third place finish in CXIII, Ultros always seems to finish somewhere around the middle. Sometimes it's not entirely his fault though! He has the ignominious distinction of being one of only two characters who's been lawyered out twice, and he very nearly got lawyered out the year he finished third! Who knows how different his numbers would look if not for those lawyerings? With this finish, Ultros gains a little bit, going from 49.29% to 49.63%, staying at 44th place.

His numbers are a little worse in the New Era because he doesn't get the benefit of that third place finish. There, Ultros bumps up from 43.41% to 44.84%, passing Eiko (for now) and Beatrix to land at 57th place.
---

Bonus trivia question: Who is the other character besides Ultros who has been lawyered out more than once?
---

Golbez?

Or Sabin?
---

we should definitely allow smfffc microtransactions
---

WickIebee posted...

Golbez?

Or Sabin?

Nope, only once for the both of them.
---

Probably Cecil.
---

Cid P? Cecil? I think both might be at one too though

Cecil, duh

malfunctioning bots happen
---

Cecil is correct! He's also tied with Rydia for the deepest into the contest a lawyering has occurred (11th place).
---

In less guessing standards, forgot to set this up yesterday... and the day before yesterday...

Setting up first hour alliance with Adelle. Might want to find something witty in terms of naming as I never get to do that.
---

the lawyering at 29th tho still the most dramatic event in SMFFFC history

Yep. Best moment in the history of this contest

the best part of Leon hosting is that we dumped the annual FFIV lawyering tradition
---

it helps that far fewer people nowadays save FFIV so there are fewer attempts for a screwup to occur

And look at this - i didnt even end up saving Minwu today in pursuit of our alliance.

This is how trade is done folks.
