Board 8 > Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters XXI: Day 27 [smfffc]

(+) Yeah! (+)

We need more hot takes, damn it.

I still believe in the Lightning run this year. The Auron redemption run, not as much...

I got five seconds, save at 1920, round end at 1925. Somehow I doubt this will work, but...

Hildibrand (attempting to lawyer Rufus via post 150 invalidating post 152)

Hey, it's worth a shot.
---

You ought to be banned for that in practice dude, for even suggesting it. I was trying to get a free save, I clearly was not saving Tifa.
---

What is wrong with you, bwburke lol
---

Seriously lefty, I think he should be banned under the community rule for a short length of time.
---

Is this about my warning last round?
---

Aren't you FBike's "brother" by the way, yeah siblings in SMFFFC are definitely always cool and totally legit. Under your idiotic logic, wouldn't it be Relm that's out since your "bro" saved her after he said "Kefka I guess", which by your logic is a save?

Rufus, so Relm goes out under your nonsense logic.
---

Can we stop the arguments and admit that joke lawyering attempts are just that, jokes?

I'm fully aware 150 wasn't an intended Tifa save.
---

My intent was to get clarification from Lefty on why it wasn't a save. Not to claim it was a save.
---

The fact you are asking him to clarify it makes it not a joke and makes you an asshole. You're looking for ways to cause trouble, when I have a quoted text in my post replying to a post where it asks which of the three characters he should save. I picked one of those characters.
---

Dude, really?

1. There is outright evidence that I am in fact Bike's brother, not an alt masquerading as his brother.
2. I went out of my way last year to ensure Bike couldn't be accused of using me as an alt.

And seriously, trying to bring out the community rule for a rule clarification?
---

I mean it clearly wasn't a save

but also charon escalates things up 100000%
---

Look at it from my perspective. By "saving" Hildibrand, and specifically citing 150, I force Lefty to explain why 150 is invalid.

That's a good game move for me, because it gives me information I lack: namely, what the rules are for accidental saves. Someone more experienced with SMFFFC would already know from past contests.
---

You know why it isn't a save.

Given the history of me with this contest, I appreciate being left alone.
---

I spent like 15 minutes on Discord explaining to you specifically why you are wrong. You didn't have to get anyone else to explain it because I already did.
---

I mean sure you do you but we're telling you it clearly wasn't a save
---

I knew it wasn't a save, but I didn't know why it wasn't a save. That's what I was trying to get Lefty to tell me.
---

I already told you.
---

It was completely obvious from context that that isn't a save.

You, and everyone else, knowing it's not a save is why it's not a save.
---

Ban them all so only Dark Nation Nation members can save tomorrow imo. (This is a joke!)
---

One more post, to counter the community rule accusation:

I did not commit any "deliberate rules violations" this round. My deliberate act was to save Hildibrand citing 150/152; the fact I knew my citation was a dud does not affect that.

I'm done for the night. Tracking the topic just in case.
---

This is why no one likes you.
---

oh boy
---

for a second checking the topic I thought there was actual drama happening like burke doing an intentional lawyering but oh there's literally nothing here

whatever carry on
---

There was drama here

It's gone now

or is it
---

I miss real drama
---

The drama to get Dark Nation in will never end.

If we're arguing whether that joke lawyering attempt was a lawyering attempt or that joke lawyering attempt was a joke I'm going to be able to make a stronger argument it was the former with the lack of evidence presented towards it being the latter

the andymancan school of lawyering

"oh it was just a joke haha you fell for it!!"

It'll end next year when we get him in!!!

Lying awake in bed last night I realized Cissnei can't be in the 7 remake since, other than making the Compilation canon, she'd recognize Cloud since she already met him, let alone his wielding Zack's Buster Sword and we can't have that happening in Remake Part 1.

So back on hoping they give Dark Nation a proper appearance to guarantee his XXII entry, if only for greengravy's sake.
