Huh, what happened to her in XIX? That was Rinoa's year so I was busy but I'm usually not the one Garnet relies on that early

It was Friday (or Thursday) night and I fell asleep and didn't hear the alarm clock and woke up to doom and gloom

Doesnt everyone wake up to doom and gloom during SMFFFC season?

Only if you sleep

we all have our stories

one year I missed an early hard boot round until near the very end and came back to a final two of Cid P and Cecil

if I hadn't shown up things would be very different now

Which is why I never slept this year

I can finally sleep for a year now, wow, I feel so free

they're putting me to sleep tomorrow by force

Okay better dump this while I have the chance.

In the spirit of detachment I won't be doing any of this next year so if anyone else wants to take up the mantle (or cares), go for it...



Two characters left in the contest, the fallen strewn amongst them... seems appropriate.

1 snipe: Arti, Dante, ecksgem, Janus5k, linkhatesganon, Luis_Sera, Maniac, Mewtwo, PlasmaKappa, Robazoid, Shaduln, VeryInsane

Interesting top 10, as we lost a few "Never Iron Man" characters before they ever went on the list (Kefka, Seymour and Tifa fitting the bill).

Delita matches Edward from last year with a similar stretch of 3 snipes in the final days to finish at 5 overall. And like Edward, had a midgame "close call" (though Edward only had one, on Day 59). But the lesson is, it's never over until it's over, even if you need greengravy to throw out NRs on your behalf.

(Actually I still remember Day 53, linkhatesganon taking the Delita NR led to Eiko's elimination... still no regrets, Eiko elimination is always needed!)

Garnet pushed the Day 69 snipe all the way to Day 98, a great run. And sure enough, look at the 1 snipe list: Zidane, Vivi, Garnet top 3 longest-survival stretches of characters with 1 snipe, interesting coincidence! And of course, Beatrix was the #2 survivor this year on a total snipes basis.

Minwu remains the # winner with 7 snipes, and Yuffie the duration winner with 73 days.

oh man, what a save

looking back, Delita dies for sure if you're not there because tennis got Genesis shortly thereafter

one save can change a contest

That's pretty cool actually.

However this one goes I'm glad Delita got to have a shot at things. And gets his name onto the wiki table either way!

Like I mentioned in discord, I dont care if its 600-10 Im still happy he made it this far

and if he loses what ever Squall is pushing top ten anyway


---

It'll definitely at least be ten. Assuming I wake up from the anesthesia.

They asked me a worrying number of questions on whether I had a will and religious preferences in case of last rites.

An incredibly worrying number.

yeah i remember that, it felt weird because Eiko basically never needed me and then i saved her that round and she went out anyway

---

I dunno what prompted best Final Fantasy character Delita to take best character Mordin's catchphrase, but I approve.

....I know I said I was a tummy respecter, but really, only Tifa's...

Yeah Roba was late to the round so I knew that was our one chance to get her...

oh man, looking back at that topic.

oh I was a second away from snipe saving delita that round too

Mordin is very good, have to agree there

only ones in the series close are Garrus, Legion, and Jack

Ashley is the best Mass Effect character

Maybe we should let ME characters in SMFFFC to settle this once and forever

Somehow this is the most Robapinion out there

Jack best ME girl

I am here for a SMFMEC contest. To see Ash get Virmire'd again as she deserves.

---

We'd have to get her in the bottom two with Kaidan for that, and I'm not sure it's a guarantee she goes there.

who's the ME character based off Yvonne Strahovski

....I had heard they were doing a trilogy remaster and holy crap my "to play or re-play" games list is unbearable right now, I can't add three mammoth ME games on top of that (but I probably would)

I know calling Delita a girl's name is a Moonroof joke but I swear I still read it as Delilah every single time

Miranda Lawson. Based on your Tifa thirsting you'd probably like her (I think she's a legit good character but most people just meme her for her ass)

And there's been a thousand rumours about a remaster and none of them have panned out yet, so who knows when it'll ever happen.

Hey there Delita
Whats it like in Ivalice?
You will not win this contest
But seconds pretty nice

---

You should run a SMFMEC andy! Maybe gauge interest first but sounds like you got quite a few fans who'd be on board already.

Also I never thirsted.

...except that one time.

Hey I made a joke that its the smfffc joke

I just dont find her character that interesting though, thats just the honest opinion of mine

Well, it begins again. I'll see you all on the other side of the finals (at least, those of you who survive)

I still owe each of you a finals vote. I've been saving Delita so really just let me know if you want a Squall save I suppose.
