Board 8 > Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters XIX: Day 98 (RULE CHANGE!) [smfffc]

(+) Yeah! (+)

MWC is like Gollum

half the time he is fawning over his master, the other half he is wishing death upon people
---

Well technically it should be evened out because TRE tried doing it with Rydia and that ended up not working out. So it really depends on who the character is and if they have the right backing that year

yea and it only wasn't because chris decided to play out his pet fantasy with you and keep you on a leash

Did I kill your dog and didn't realize it by the way?

I mean it doesn't take a genius to see how you've been treating him

I will note that all I've done is made the topic a nicer place because everyone was mad at MWC so I made MWC stop making people be mad.

Well not everyone

And not ALL the people

I'm sorry if I ever made you mad bro. Not my intention.

I'm more saying that it might make it seem like MWC's future saves were the reason Cloud made the finals when that's not entirely true
---

Out of curiosity what was the highest placing for FFII before this contest?
---

Yeah MWCs scheme and the chris and steiner stuff that went with it are the parts if this contest I loathed and Im going to do my part to prevent it from being any further encouraged.
---

Genny is not a "bro" for the record

You saying girls can't be bros, Leon?

Gordon somehow placed 34/70 in CVII, which was FFII's only upper half finish before this year.

Thank you.

Still sorry if I ever made you angry Genesis

oh I didn't realize that had become a thing

(and I don't think MWC realizes Gen is a girl is why I said it)
---

Another former WWE talent came out against Final Fantasy 8


---

I thought Emperor Mateus had a decent run one year

Ok the fact that the highest ranked character isnt Gordon is a victory in itself

This is also a higher finish than anything in I or III, right?

Yeah, I thought so, too, but it turns out he only made it to 67th, which I guess we all thought was super impressive since it was FFII.

Black Mage finished 4th one year and Cloud of Darkness finished 13th one year.

Wasn't me I was referring to!

The first final that I didn't overwhelmingly prefer one over the other.

I think I'm going Cloud even though it's hurts to vote against FFVIII

You can't trade for Finals saves

says who?

Its like pj never actually wants 8 to do well or win since he always finds a way to hurt it

well technically you can

it's just not very beneficial

Don't call it a scheme please. I didn't do anything nefarious. I just noticed early on this year we had some real juice, especially the couple times we "nearly" got eliminated early on at like 3 or 4 votes, and then I was quickly informed by Steiner Esq that we had nothing to worry about, and would have been save even with quite a few more saves. And that's when it hit me. If he had a team of around 8 or 9 every day we'd pick up strength as others went out, so if we could just make top 10 (something Cloud doesn't really do....) I could try and get us a bit of a boost for the final 9 save rounds.... I took a sorta calculated risk,
Put confidence in someone else to sustain us till then, and created a plan to help my team. Along the way we picked up Chris and it's impossible to state how much of a boon he was. And yeah, TRE did fail. It takes luck too. As well as having a strong enough team to get you that far. And obviously no one can get Cait Sith in next year and offer round 90-98 saves and think it will work.

But if your character is strong enough, say Cecil, or Squall, etc, it's a valid strategy IMO. You are free to disagree. I don't fault anyone who does.

I try to make it so good things happen to those who help my little Red Mage guy.

Koala's been helping the little guy for years 'Go Vincent'

Vincent is going to win next year, we get it.

tbh this is nothing compared to when MWC said he'd buy finals votes at $10k a piece

is this offer still on the table

it fucking better be it's the whole reason i did this whole run
---

i'm expecting a good 10k if we win and also remember mwc said he'd leave forever! goooooooo cloud

I just legitimately like Cloud more! Laguna never did a whole lot for me, even if he's still good.

KommunistKoala posted...

cloud is no Yuu Asakawa but he's pretty good

That's because Cloud is (Prototype) King Arthur.

Sweet, time for Cloud to lose another finals

Mostly it was fucking annoying at literally every single point.

Well I am sorry it was annoying to you. That was not my intention, but it wasn't a scheme either way.

Laguna is a bad character and I will feel bad for saving him.

Same, although I know Cloud. I dislike Cloud more than I dislike Laguna, so Laguna gets my 10 saves.

But I will still feel gross doing it.
---

It's a valid strategy but it was annoying the way you (MWC) did it, because you were constantly begging and spamming your offer even when nobody was taking it.

If you had been more chill about it ("anyone interested? no? okay then trading for Cloud next hour") it would have been 10x better

If it makes you feel better you can vote based on the Man with The Machine Gun

If I was ever put into a position where I had to vote for Terra Id vote based on her theme song
---

Cloud's ok overall even though I used to hate him. I don't like SMFFFC Cloud though so it's enough to never want to save him ever again even if he faced the dreaded Terrable Blandford

I'm not a huge fan of that song either tbh

It took me a whole lot of tries to beat that song on Ultimate in Theatrhythm.
