Uh.. Susan and Zeno are not the same game type. Susan and Zod are a lot more similar. And, I too do not understand why people say Shaco did nothing? Shaco did not win by accident. Shaco was as good as Lulu but in a different way. And not a Zeno way.

Or because Shaco had four fantastic friends who would never let him down because he didn't let them down.
They were very different winners but the essence of that kind of winner is the same. No matter how optimal the numbers are people vote with their hearts, and that's Survivor.

Shaco won because of edgic

Posted: **Sun Nov 06, 2016 5:09 pm**

Shaco won because Lulu forgot that taking a guy to the end that everyone loves and who has all of his allies that he didn't backstab on the jury is probably a terrible idea.

Zeno almost won because a bunch of people really hated Kawazu, and had he given a better FTC performance he would have won because everyone hated Kawazu.

I guess a somewhat easier way to put it is that Shaco was like Fabio and Zeno would have been like Sophie.

Everyone didn't love Shaco though, half the jury didn't consider him as a vote. He just had -enough- people that loved him.
Zeno didn't just almost win because of Kawazu hate, he had allies that had genuinely loved him in the game on the other side, he just didn't have -enough-.

Numbers ghost was so annoying.
She tried to pin all the drama Star was causing onto my character. Ironically. I told Star to pick Numbers as a ghost.
I don't think numbers would have won though. Not with players like Batwoman, Freeze, and Alfred etc.

I usually try to give a memory of every cut I played with, but I don't remember anything Matter Lad did rip.

It's a Numbers game

I remember MEL told me he had a box and I thought oh that's cool, maybe he can be number 9 on my friend list?
Then I heard from someone that he wanted to vote me and I was like nevermind RIP.

Oh. I remember we played mafia in the first challenge, and we lynched the wrong person together!

288. Matter-Eater Lad (ForWhomTheJellyRolls) - Arkham City

Sooooooooo. A lot is going on.

Sometimes real life likes to be a total ass and suck up any extra time you might have had for extra characterization. Such was the case for MEL. Jelly was juggling a lot of stuff that left very little for game time, so there just really isn't a whole lot to MEL. However, he just has this way about him that is still endearing and enjoyable enough that people are willing to keep him around because he's harmless and conversations can be nice. Batwoman and Alfred both make quite a few comments about how they enjoyed interacting with MEL. Perhaps if James Gordon Jr. hadn't had to medevac from the game when he did we might have seen more from MEL, I honestly don't know. He's mostly sweet and amusing, but ultimately doesn't standout particularly much from the rest of this game in and out of confessionals.

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

I had a hard time trying to figure out who I should trust between you or Alfred. I think the answer was neither.

I remember refusing to vote MEL when it was already very clear he was going.

<3 MEL

I remember that. I thought it was totally weird that you eventually did vote him. #RookieRory

287. Daenerys Targaryen (Xofelf) - Game of Thrones

Well my dear Tyrion, I didn't care if I made it to the end. That was the thing you kinda missed. It was never keep me safe for the purposes of getting to the end. It was getting Gilly to the end even if I had to die to do so.

We all love xof and we know she is a great player, but the Dany we got didn't live up to her potential. She started the game with her attention divided between Game of Thrones and an offsite survivor game. She was good enough to survive, but not good enough to be a fun character. In Shiidaji's character rankings, Dany places 14th out of 18. Dany's ally Brienne got voted out and Dany thought everything was okay, when she would have been in trouble had her tribe lost again.

Luckily, Dany made it to the shipwreck and met the player who would end up becoming her #1 ally: Gilly. This relationship has always felt sketchy to me. Xof has said that she didn't work with Gilly just because it was Ceph. But make no mistake, these were two players who made the final 2 together in Greece, and Dany knew who Gilly was, and Gilly knew who Dany was. Xof gets voted out of her offsite game, and she can focus entirely on GOT and she improves. She gets into a good spot on her swapped tribe, makes some allies and does some fun video confessionals.

And now it's time for the merge! In terms of gameplay, Dany gets into a good spot in the majority. As a character, Dany is a little frustrating to watch. She gushes in her confessional about Gilly and how they're planning and plotting together. If you look at Gilly's confessional, she likes Dany, but she really likes three other people, and can't decide who her #1 is. By the final 9, it looks like Gilly is going to win with everyone else competing to be her best friend, and Dany is her biggest enabler.

Unfortunately, real life hits. Xof's wifi completely gives out, and she has to mooch off neighbors, stand out in the cold, or go to the library just to PM. This really hurts her activity, and torpedoes her chances of winning. Dany realizes that she probably isn't going to win, and instead of getting voted out for inactivity or making strategic moves to separate herself from Gilly, she decides that since she probably isn't going to win, she should play for Gilly to win.

I just really want to live is basically where I'm at. Or if I have to go than Gilly needs to be safe. That's about it.

Jal:Is there anyone you believe hasn't deserved to have gotten this far?

Yeah, probably me. I haven't really done much of anything in the past few rounds.

Vote: Eddard

You're a nice guy, but I would much rather be sacrificed off for Gilly next round due to immunity than this.

Freezing my fingers off to check a vote shows either stupidity or dedication, you all decide which. But I will be , making sure however I leave things gilly will be safe if I do die off.

And then after doing what Gilly wants for the whole game, Dany makes the final 3 and is voted out by Gilly and she's...okay with it?

There's such a thing as a character staying in the game too long. If Dany had been voted out at around final 8, she would have been a fun character with some good confessionals who got screwed over by netdeath. By making the final 3, she still got screwed over, but she also made a great game more predictable by basically becoming Gilly's second vote. To be fair to Dany though, she really tried hard to get around her lower inactivity. She did all the challenges and she would stand out into the cold just to send PMs or do confessionals. That's a level of dedication I'm not sure many people at this site have. But if we're at a point where we can cut people like Danny from Season Finale for not playing to win, we can do the same thing with Dany from Game of Thrones.

This is cuz of Jesse, isn't it? I see how it is.

Posted: **Mon Nov 07, 2016 5:06 pm**

I liked the part where Dany said "AND NOW IM GONNA FIGHT WITH MY DRAGONS" but then her internet died

Posted: **Mon Nov 07, 2016 5:17 pm**

Also I'm going to edit that writeup when I'm less busy. There's more to Dany than just the first tribe and the midmerge.
