It results in doom

Seems more like it results it no doom.

Having not read the topic I thought FFD had an unfulfilled trade with Selphie so I grabbed her to avoid her possible elimination

It results in all doom and no train

Here is a tip to survive the next 10 rounds:

Save your (my) favorite final fantasy characters

On a stats related note - how far does Yang need to place to crawl out of bottom 10

this is a constantly moving target because Wakka (just outside bottom 10) and Shuyin are both still in

35th or better would guarantee it though

So after all the drama during nominations

Bahamut is the last summon standing?

Turns out FF1 Bahamut is more popular than we thought...!

thankfully it's not FFX bahamut or i would lose him in the list during the rush

Are rounds less than 90 minutes common for this point in the contest?

I was (still am) in a meeting so I couldn't keep up

Which was why I auto traded

This is genuinely upsetting

Bad round

The rabbits must die

what do we say about assuming

if you stopped leaving the "Unsafe List" tab a complete mess I would resume using it!!!

for FoG yeah, would expect sub-70 minutes for some (most?) of them. Afterwards we're north of 2 hours until somewhere in the Day 40s and even those would probably be more than 90 minutes. Only towards the end should rounds be that short...

Doomtrain is not a meme he is genuine best summon

But yes, better than selphie

So now I only have two priorities

the board may be dying but smfffc is stronger than ever!

At least it wasnt Selphie. The Doomtrain meme died years ago and was only propped up by trades.

Selphie has been booted plenty in recent years too. She basically relies on FFD to keep her afloat, too. Either way, it's a sucky way to lose someone.

you're not supposed to use the unsafe list tab!

As the person who started the Unsafe List, keeping up with that thing during the rush is impossible. Don't trust that thing at the end of a round.

Wait, we're not? Which one should we be looking at?

the update tab is the clean one

unsafe list is merely the means to creating the update tab

UltimaterializerX posted...

How would you go about fixing the first thing?

This comes off as grossly insulting to Leftys efforts and is frankly uncalled for. He devotes more time than everyone else.

Didn't mean it that badly, I remember a past conversation w/ lefty about it though maybe he doesn't remember so that would be my bad. Actually let me dig that up...

yeahhhh I know but old habits and all that... I liked seeing the open spaces there as better visualizing what's left rather than sussing out the numbers in the [ ] in the update tab. Especially in later rounds. Been steering clear of it this contest so far, I guess I really need to adapt to looking at the update list...

I've always used the unsafe list

The tab is useful up to a point (that point is the start of the rush)

if there's a way to make a duplicate of that tab that automatically hides rows, I'd add that, but it's a manual process and doing it after every single name goes off the board would be a massive pain

Yeah I just assumed the filter on column A would take care of hiding rows, didn't realize there was a more manual process involved? But I know what they say when I assume... sorry to have dredged that back up again!

I use the update tab because the unsafe list looks bananas

Shitsjitshit work got really busy fuck me

I cannot express enough how badly I screwed up

Like I said, I don't blame you. I blame Martin.

Nah I screwed up real bad, even if work made things too tough here ugh

at least you have Layle first in your save order, lol.

Let the record show I tried saving Quistis first!! Also let the record show I feel genuinely shitty about this outcome, I feel bad when people offer trades that nobody accepts and this is a 10x multiplier on that!

I think the only time I took advantage of a bad trade was to eliminate Vivi and I won't apologize for that, lol...

Damn I had tons of meetings today too

@swordz9 now that we're entering FoG, I just wanted to let you know that I have no problem covering Yuffie during it if you want to focus on Lightning or whoever. We can race for it too, doesn't really matter, I just wanted to give you the option. I can't imagine a scenario where I fully miss a round.

This was a super shitty was for train to go out I am so sorry ffd I fucked you over hard

Sounds good to me!

how big is the triple boot club these days

Same here. It's the easiest way to see if my favorite Final Fantasy characters are safe or not.

Now that I'm home, thanks swordz for preventing the bigger disaster.

Considering this is C26 I've been incredibly lucky not to have had this happen to me before now.

C26 though... We've now had as many contests without raytan as we did with him.

The Radiuju Revolution was half this series' existence ago!

We old.
