these are dark times

if klick hasn't gone by the time i finish breakfast i'll move

Move anyways.

so this is honestly the most interminable part of the rankdown yeah? like, we don't have the egregiously bad cuts, we're not at the shining characters on the hill (shoutout to ben chifley), it's all a bit humdrum and "this person just didn't click and lost out". so that's what happened to meeting, but i'll try and colour it a bit anyway.

anyway so the way i've handled my characters is especially in the middle-range games i've been very spammy in the confessional which makes the character appear more impulsive and maybe even a little bit sidetracked than otherwise is real. and i think that's definitely at play here with metang because, absolutely, this is a case of Things Went Wrong Just Because, and i don't think that's really carried across here with metang. because metang has boundless confidence, he's all "ahah i'm in such a good position, everything is going well, look at all the children trying :')", and like, ok, whatever m8, you still got voted out. and it's not particularly endearing, and i think that sort of unformed, kinda messy, kinda not particularly well directed late pre-merge character belongs in a spot like this.

Neffie started off strong on Sontaran (though doing well initially on that tribe is inversely proportional to how well players did in the game as a whole). She was in the power trio with Amy and Clara. She was briefly considered as a vote by Jack during the first Sontaran TC, but she wasn't seriously in danger there. She was fairly active and probably had the most interesting confessional on Sontaran. (It's a Lia confessional of course it was amazing)

Then she had Internet issues! Coupled with a tribe swap with neither of her close allies! No one on her new tribe got to know her, and she was unceremoniously voted out first on that tribe.

If that was the end of Neffie's story, she'd have been cut a long time ago. But no, this was Survivor: Doctor Who. Time travel was a thing. And Neffie was the subject of the first major time travel move in the game. Amy and Clara were devastated to see the third member of their alliance get eliminated solely because she had net problems. So Amy went back in time, saw that Neffie was now able to be around, and concocted a plan to get her back in the game. Amy and Clara couldn't affect the TC Neffie got voted out in, but they realized that if they voted out Neffie herself in Jack's place, then voted out Weeping Angel afterwards, Neffie would effectively take Weeping Angel's place in the game.

So they did that. But the Earth tribe wasn't exactly happy that their vote was changed without their permission. Neffie made an effort to get back in people's good graces, but Earth was having none of it. They saw that their first vote was now considered to be Jack, so a big group of Earth tribe members went back and changed their votes for that TC to Neffie again. This led to Neffie once again being eliminated and Jack returning to the game for the first time.

Neffie's story is very entertaining. My problem with letting her get further than this is that much of her story wasn't about her doing things, but was instead about other people doing things around her and her just being a victim of circumstance. Again, her confessional is beautiful, and it's even updated after she stops being relevant. But I think this is a fitting place to cut her.

Was wondering how long that one would take... (are my confessionals really always that good??)

Yes, actually. They're fun

but we decided that wasnt a positive enough factor in the RANK DOWN

STANK DOWN

What happens now

ani gets his ass into gear

I am way too busy and wayy to unsure, so I'm cutting Tom Bombadil aka Xalxe because I know you existed but I'm pretty sure you were totally irrelevant.

I'll likely update this another time.

good cut good cut
