currently in xiv dungeon with the absolute worst tank I have ever see, it's equal parts excruciating and fascinating
and I don't mean they simply forget to pop emnity buff, but this tank straight out refuses to tank and keeps trying to treat the dungeon like a stealth mission (Dzemael Darkhold) we've died like 10 times, repeatedly told tank they have to pull mobs from us and instead they complain they aren't being healed meanwhile healer is busy trying to stay alive and keep everyone else alive since we're all under attack wew vent but wow I've never experienced that bad a tank before --- http://gmun.moe/ffcc GuessMyUserName's account's very own account! ...

regarding pets, I mean Layle legit is my fav final fantasy character but I'm always prepared to let him go as we approach the 4 hour rule change where I can't guarantee him or else I'll be empty in the late game
.... this year is actually having a second person maining him though is the only reason I'm still giving him 100% because oh wow this isn't happening again and I can accept this run costing Celes, though I do appreciate Yankees keeping her alive so long. If there were no Yankees then I'd be ready drop Layle much sooner --- http://gmun.moe/ffcc GuessMyUserName's account's very own account! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Probably nothing will ever top the dumb I did a few years back. This was early in the top 10, like round 91-93. Kefka was looking very strong, and my save was free to snipe. I saved Barret after a NR had been offered for him, but didn't accept it because I wanted Barret to get through, too. Kefka was eliminated the next round. To top it off, if I remember right, Barret wasn't even my favorite left at that point and he got eliminated the next round.
Hell even this contest I messed up with him again. Was planning on letting Ashe go when needed to focus on Kefka at least until around the point Ashe eventually went out. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

i have a tough time thinking about misplays, though there's Layle's 2nd year that gave Celes her first bottom-half placement
amazing that's the only time though any other memories I think is causing Drak to get lawyered -- I was holding between Setzer/Ashe with Ashe as my higher priority. Didn't realize they were the last two, Draks saved Ashe so I saved Setzer then whoops Drak was early, Ashe lawyered out and Drak banned for a few rounds because it was in fact an early save that changed the results because I would've preferred Ashe --- http://gmun.moe/ffcc GuessMyUserName's account's very own account! ...

Last year someone (I want to say Nanis?) missed our regular trade and offered a free save the next round to make up for it, I told them not to bother and as a result that character went out the next round. That character's name? Rinoa Heartilly! I'm past the initial grieving phase now and apologise again for making a big deal of it, I'm at least glad most of us can relate to putting too much care into this silly contest.

andy, there's nothing to apologize for, a lot of us feel that way about our characters like you said. And being on the more extreme side of "putting too much care" things personally, if Aerith is eliminated I'll legitimately be depressed (more than usual) for several days... I was thinking today might be a Kuja day based on the characters at the end there, and maybe it would've been if SaveEstelle didn't pop in. I still believe in Ghido and his ability to draw in really varied support! And I think Day 75 is the "H3 close call" day like today until the end of the game before Xuxon posted... To top it off, if I remember right, Barret wasn't even my favorite left at that point and he got eliminated the next round. Yeah that was definitely contest XXII and Tifa was still alive so that checks out. I think Kefka-Barret-Tifa went 8-6-4 though, but yeah... At least it ended up with a Squall victory!

^Is she the highest placed triple-booter?
Thanks, Martin. I see no reason Aeris couldn't go all the way And thanks to everyone else for sharing their contest experiences and handling my overemotional response to the round. I'd like to say I'll focus 100% on Rinoa next year, but I thought that this year and look what happened. I've even considered letting Ghido get booted next time so he goes out on decent stats and I don't have to worry about him anymore, but I don't know if I could bring myself to do that. --- No longer becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. ...

I think she'd be the favorite to win with Aeris gone. A Tifa win after the Aerith losses would turn to ashes in my mouth. Uh, I think I'm using that expression properly? But yeah, some day I'll go 100% with her like I did in contest XXII, good times... and I was thinking the other day how everyone from that year's top 10 is still kicking too other than Kefka and properly (not dearly)-departed Edea. Going a step further I'd say that's the best final 5 of the leftyera (Squall, Delita, Garnet, Tifa, Seymour). IMO, of course. ... Copied to Clipboard!

As TechMages United pushed forward, the stakes escalated, and the competition grew fiercer. Selphie and Jessie found themselves on the cusp of the top 30, their determination burning brighter than ever. Their journey was not without its losses, however, as they witnessed the fall of Rinoa, a skilled warrior they had come to know during their battles. The weight of her defeat served as a stark reminder of the challenges that lay ahead. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus ...

Honestly I never expected Ghido to get anywhere near as far as he did in any of his years, I initially nominated him because I wanted to make my own little personal mark on this contest... and somehow he wound up finishing in the teens twice in a row. I have to put all my saves into him to keep him going, in a way his success is a bit of a double-edged sword that has stopped me from helping all the others I like. As Leon says it's difficult to just abandon him at a set mark, knowing I could drop him Day 1 or Day 71 and he'd be dead that very round. I mean, if you look at it like this consider yourself very lucky. Or just luckier than some. My legitimate #1 never had a top 20 finish for nearly a decade, despite my best efforts all but one of those years. It took 9 contests for me to see him place above 23rd. He's much better off in recent years, sure. He's had several good runs now, mostly because of another dedicated person showed up and like me doesn't mind crashing head first into a brick wall year after year. For your favorite to make it this far while you fully support something else... I have to say I'm really envious. My favorite is just too weak to ever leave to chance; I missed the start of SMFFFC one year and he got booted next to last place. Usually by now I have nothing but my favorite left, any project or secondary favorite is typically long dead. --- :> Truly smilin' ... Copied to Clipboard!

I was not expecting to be able to help Barret at this point but Nanaki has been doing great. I will probably be having to save him more after the rule change though.
Barret is legitimately in my Top 4 (along with Yuna, Tidus, and Rikku). And at one point was my favorite. Seeing him succeed without me as a main is so awesome after years and years of him being one of the weakest 7 characters.
