- Saves to be Safe: 13

Next 2 Rule Changes:
... R[024]: 1-Saves, 60-Cycle, 15-Safe, 1-Elim(s)
... R[025]: ~*~ Finals ~*~

- YOU ARE NOT RESTRICTED TO ONE SAVE PER CHARACTER PER ROUND - ONLY WITHIN ONE *CYCLE*.
E.g. if there's 2 saves/cycle you can't use both your first saves on 'celes', but you can save 'celes' again in your next cycle (after 60 min).
- TO SAVE A CHARACTER USE MUST POST THEIR SAVE KEY IN BOLD. Alternative save keys can be found in the top link, if one is not listed it will not be a valid save.
E.g. to save 'Edgar Roni Figaro' post '<b>edgar</b>' or, *because it is a valid alt listed*, '<b>gerad</b>'. All spaces are removed/ignored, case-insensitive.
- Mulitple saves per cycle can be delimited in a single bold tag with ';' or line-breaks. However, all bold tags will be scanned either way so take your pick (except in sigs).
E.g. to save both 'Locke Cole' and 'Cyan Garamonde' post '<b>locke;cyan</b>' OR '<b>locke;cyan</b>' OR ('<b>locke</b>' AND '<b>cyan</b>').
- Saves are counted in order they're posted - E.g. post #1 before post #2, and which save comes first within a post. Be cautious of quoting saves you don't intend to make.
- As saves are scanned automatically... You're responsible for your own saves, including influence by invalid ones. Invalid saves will [hopefully] be notified by bot within a minute.
As such, there is time to edit/delete a post before bot scans it. This is acceptable, but malicious use is subject to community rule.
- Early saving through an alt is banned, accidents will see leniency (survive if Gmun is around to catch, 5-round ban affects results).
All found malicious and associated accounts will be banned and turned Kill On Sight for a *minimum* of 2 contests
- Abuse of rules or new issues/exploits subject to host punishment. I'm lenient on mistakes but won't tolerate abuse. Don't be a dick, community jury.
- Banned: None

Finals:
- One 24-hour round, 6 saves per finalist.
E.g. you can use up the max 6 saves on A but still use up to 6 more saves on B.
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO PUT NUMBERS *INSIDES* THE SAVE'S BOLD TAGS, THEY WILL BE IGNORED.

Tally web page updated every 5 minutes, updates will be posted after every 15 saves (5 when <10 remain), or if someone requests the bot with the command 'update plz'. For a list of other commands, post 'what can you do bot' (except not yet, I haven't made te command yet lolz)

Wait, where did it need another s? There was an s in does and an s in save.

I mean in the code I left out a needed S in the query because I added a JOIN statement between the saves table and the contests table

I typically alias the query as
SELECT ___ FROM saves S
LEFT JOIN contests C ON S.contest_id=C.contest_id

essentially I added that second line without declaring that S on the first line so bot was like "wtf is S.contest_id"

before I was just using the who does command on the current contest, so when I changed it so you can specific contests I added the second line

Zoroark.

for the first time I set my phone timer to do a noise rather than vibrate (I'll have to remember to change it back bfeore the next SMFFFC round...)

see y'all in ~47 minutes and through the night thereafter from my bed, I guess. must achieve maximum zoroark - fuelled by the spirit of Decidueye!

during smfffc2 i would do the thing where I set a super early alarm, plus a bunch more every hour until 1pm

so like i'd wake up at 8, save, go back to sleep, wake up at 9, rinse repeat til 1

this the work it takes to get 4 Celes runner-ups in 6 contests

you really need to run another SMFFFC2 - I will be with you backing Celes and this can really be the time!!!
