Thank you all for participating in this contest. And thank you to anyone and everyone who helped with updates, etc.

How did your favorites do? Who went out too early? Who overstayed their welcome? Any other thoughts of this contest?

Thank you all so, so much for taking part in all of these contests. They were extremely fun to do! If anyone else wants to host their own contest feel free to do so, but this was my last one. I do have a list of topics to do if you need help with that though.

I recently watched AtLA for the first time since I was a little kid too young to follow along well, and Iroh is certainly a GOAT contender character.

Fuck yeah! My number 1 made it to number 1

Auron did alright, though perhaps could have made it a couple spots higher if I'd have been more strategic in that round in particular, though Magneto did make it quite high.

Surprise CE didn't go horny for Tifa.

But yeah Iroh is too much of a likable character for me to not vote for.

Rest in Peace Mako.

It must be a conspiracy from Fandom for banning all the horny posters lol.

I got 2 of my favorites into the top 6 (Spike and Undertaker) and helping the meme character Trogdor get 4th was fun too. Was hoping that King and Jordan would do better, but oh well. For the (most likely) final contest, this was a pretty good one.

Thanks for running it. T'was fun.

All is as it should be.

Iroh seriously is one of the most likeable characters in modern media. GOAT male role model tbh

Iroh is just that GOATed

Thanks for running one more contest. I enjoyed these. I remember when people started rigging it or something (or betting?) and you had to stop them. That was so weird and unfortunate.

I liked a lot of the characters. One of my top favorites was out first but there were plenty of others and some other topic picks made it to the top 10 and finals.

Thanks, Kaja, for running this & so many of the other contests. It's been a lot of fun over the years.

Take care everybody. :)

Yea there was betting going on, unfortunately. If that didn't happen, there would have been seven extra entries in this contest. Eight if we did another couples or duos theme. But it's bittersweet, because it gave me time to do things I've been putting off hosting the games. They're fun to do, but time consuming.

Anyways about this contest. I wished King did better. Him being the first contest I hosted, as well as the previously only two-time winner made me a little biased. And I wished Luna did better to keep her Top 3 streak going.

And I do have to say, I am a little glad a character from one of my hosted games won. It was going to be my games only, originally, but adding them all in was a good decision.

It's OK. Tifa is still perfection.

As much as I like Morrigan, I was worried about having to post a tribute video to her should she make the finale and getting slapped with a hornyposting ban, so I stopped trying to save her near the end.

Do you happen to remember the results of Iroh"s original vote?

I'm assuming it was like a 95-5 blowout but I'm curious.

Well, I didn't really know who Iroh was when I hosted Cartoon Characters, because I hadn't watched Avatar: TLA yet. So, I didn't lift a finger to help save him.

Didn't realize you were retiring from Save That's. Damn, end of an era.

I remember the peak days when you, me, and Popcorn all had Save That's going around the same time.

I really enjoyed hosting Save That's way back when, but as you said, it's very time consuming. As fun as they are, it can be hard to commit that much time to them when you have other stuff to take care of.

Those were fun times. Do you remember how many you did before Final Fantasy Party members? That was the first one I took part in. I believe I came in around the middle of that one. And I sort of created vote trading by making deals with other posters to get Balthier farther.

Last bump!

I will say I'm glad it didn't get to the point of needing that.

I had a decent amount. My first few were kinda weird, I remember doing Save That President, save that Best Picture Winning Movie, Save That Animated Disney movie. Others that I cant remember tbh.

Its a super fun game format, I wish I still had the time to run them.

I also never had a huge issue with vote trading, especially in later rounds, but I can also get why you did away with it.

That sounds... hmmm.

Bush 7th huh? Well, at least Reagen didn't get too high. And I'm sure many have terrible histories I don't know about. I'd say it's because I'm not American but I don't know that much about most past Canadian leaders either.
