Sazh is at 10 noms and he's at the top of the 10 nom tiebreaker position which puts him at 9th out of 25... surely that's enough?

I don't have much else to do with my noms other than make sure the ones I like are extra safe.

Fair enough, things are certainly ramping up more than last year... I wonder if that activity will also translate to the contest.

Wait why am I trading I can just nominate him myself. @_@

And I could've done that for Yuna too, lol.

Sazh

Things aren't looking too hot for Zeid

Feeling pretty LOVELESS out here

Someone help Genesis out

i would but i wasted my noms on leblanc

Braska could use some insurance all you dad supporters out there

I guess the Martha run will have to wait until next year

I'll have to monitor when the Gav year is so I can also make it the Gau year.

not even sure if I'll hit 50% on my nominee prediction list from last year, will have to check it after.

A distinct lack of Andrea Rhodea once again, VI!!!

I'm surprised at the lack of new Rebirth character noms, but maybe I shouldn't be seeing as (I think) no new Remake character has ever made the field either.

Yeah, Sonon would've been the first if he had made it.

I'm a little surprised we didn't get some sort of Cissnei push off of Rebirth

look I just dont want a victory that will be the biggest blowout since Zidane/Ashe

Martin doesn't like her anymore and he was her main supporter

tbh I'm back on the train and partly the reason I burned my noms on Garik was I was seriously considering pushing her back in. I've lost any appetite for the struggle to keep niche characters alive (even if those were some of my favourite times in this contest!!)

Much love to the Ritz supporters who bumped her to 9!

Pre-deadline stats:

of the people who've put in at least one nomination, I'm counting 43 regular nominations which can still be made from them, and 4 users who haven't used their double yet!!

last year I had a stat that, the year prior (XXIV noms) there were 22 nominations in the final 10 minutes, 13 of those in the final minute.

looking at last year... looks like 24 nominations in final 10 minutes, 12 of those in the final minute. Five of those from a user who hadn't made any nominations before then (and hasn't yet this year). Who else could be lurking in the wings...!

Alas, I don't have enough noms to trade to get Dion in. Or Gav.

26 characters fighting for 25 slots with 10 minutes remaining, how exciting!

And I see there is a chance of a left field candidate coming in last minute too given Martin's stats :O

Time for everyone holding onto those Martha noms to strike then

The secret Sonon fans are preparing even as we speak

Pushing real close to the end of the topic

Alisair
Torgal

Double nominate: Elena (FF7)

Edgar Figaro
Seifer Almasy

Gogo
Mjrn

Leblanc

Gogo
Aranea
Braska
Mjrn

Braska

Genesis

Well, this one's pretty easy to unravel - Genesis was the last one to hit 9 noms, so he's the odd man out. I'll get a fully updated tally out in a bit, but here are the final entrants to this year's field:

Alisaie Leveilleur [N]
Aranea Highwind
Braska
Cidolfus Telamon [N]
Clive Rosfield [N]
Edgar Roni Figaro
Elena
Faris Scherwiz
Garik Ronso
Gogo [N]
Jack Garland
Leblanc
Mjrn [N]
Onion Knight [N]
Prishe [N]
Ritz Malheur [N]
Sabin Rene Figaro
Sazh Katzroy
Seifer Almasy
Torgal [N]
Ultimecia
Wakka
Yang Fang Leiden
Yuffie Kisaragi
Yuna

Genesis shafted again. This board is truly LOVELESS.

A successful contest already

first tiebreaker is number of nominators though isn't it? though it still works out anyways because Genesis only had 7 while the others at 9 noms had 8.

....any chance we can spring up a new topic and debate some rule changes? I was thinking the other day of the discussion at contest's end last year and the streamlining a "bottom 2 eliminated" would have for the first, like... 20 or 30 rounds.

Hooray for Gogo! Finally all of VI's fully playable characters are in. Thanks to all who nom'd the great mystery, hopefully they can outdo Strago's finish the other year.

Also I'm very grateful to everyone for not nominating Prompto this year, saving him from another soft boot. On the same note, condolences to Wakka fans.

more nomination stats:

last year: 47 users making 43 double nominations and 182 regular nominations, so 268 nominations in total across 51 characters.

this year: 51 users making 48 double nominations and 213 regular nominations so 309 nominations in total across 46 characters

so definitely a ramp up in activity, not to mention the post counts in here (even if like 2 pages were Bahamut debate, lol)

Also, 30/51 users this year using their full nominations (Fiop was late on his double otherwise it'd have been 31). 30/51 is just shy of 59%, an improvement over last year's 25/47 (~53%)

okay now for the harder part

...who wants to help get four viera past the soft boots...

Having no played 16 yet I dunno who any new character is other than Onion Knight and I think Prishe Ive heard of

Sorry, I'll be too busy helping moogles (Yuffie wear a moogle disguise in Intermission, plus Mog IX)

ok 15/25 so that's a passing grade but still. Overestimated the XVI and Rebirth noms, and year of pets, lol. I had had Elena on the list and dropped her previously so that was a miss but glad she's back in (until she struggles through boots again).

Congrats andy for completing the FF6 playables!!
