Survivor Mafiascum Rankdown (Properly Dead. Leave it dead)

[xofelf]

This is a rankdown! All 479 characters from every anon Survivor on MS are included. One at a time, each ranker will cut someone they think is the weakest character left. People are ranked in relative entertainment value, but people can do whatever they want idrc. Everyone has three idols that they can use within 24 hours of a cut to nullify it. One idol has to be used before 350, one before 150, and the last idol can be used up to the end. If a cut you make is idoled, you can never cut that player again.

Order of cutting, randomized:

1. Crazy
   
2. Klick
   
3. Drench
   
4. Xalxe
   
5. xofelf
   
6. Snakes
   
7. Cephrir

Google doc keeping track of shit

I'm going to cut

Zelda aka notscience from Survivor: Greece

. While you had a great intro submission and you made a post in your confessional, you basically didn't log into the game at all after that. You had one of the cuter avatars in that tribe, but we didn't get to see your lovely face much anymore.

[xofelf]

^This. Also I can be bribed into idoling you for the right price

[xofelf]

I'm going to cut

Black Canary from Survivor Conclave

. She was played by both DarkLightA and Titus, neither of whom picked up their PM until after their elimination.

[xofelf]

Don't we all?

[xofelf]

We did have a full answer list, yes. But it was rigged so that tribes would be even going into the handcuff twist were even. One person gone from each tribe was the thing.

[xofelf]

On that note, the game list in post 1 of the queue thread hasn't been updated since Eon.

Well that's not true at all! It was updated last when League started.

It'll be updated today or tomorrow.

[xofelf]

I'm cutting

Iqbal aka orcinus_theoriginal from Survivor Greece

. Cergio 1.0 got "lucky" and had two inactives. Iqbal at least logged in. But he didn't participate in any meaningful way outside of watching our tribe do a challenge and not weighing in. More frustrating than he was influential.

[xofelf]

WELL THAT WAS SURE EVENTFUL!

I'm going to cut

3cool5youMATHFTW aka vonflare from NAH

. You were there. You sure did some things. But I'm not sure what any of those things are and barely remembered you were in the game at all.

[xofelf]

I am going to cut

Muse aka EspeciallyTheLies from Battle of the Bands

. Muse was in a really nice great spot to start with. People liked Muse because she was sweet. And then, she entirely disappeared. Not only did she disappear, she self-voted in every TC she was at, and no one noticed. She came back long enough to just ask people to vote her out of the game and still voted herself.

P-edit: ABOUT THAT

[xofelf]

Okay, I give in.

441. Eomer (Elmo TeH AzN) - Middle Earth

-

Sorta screwed myself with this challenge. I already have a alliance of 4 so let's see how this works out. As with all games it's what you know that kills you.

I'm not sure if anyone ever knew who this 4 person alliance was that Eomer was in. He never told his confessional. Can't really say if what he knew killed him because we'll just never know.

[xofelf]

Why, it if weren't for Agitha Navi/Epona never would have happened nearly as fast or as solidly! Also, PMs all about cheesecake. How could you say no to those?

[xofelf]

We can fix that if you like

[xofelf]

436. Elizabeth Warren (Shadoweh) - #2016

-

OH MY GOD YES THANK YOU EVERYONE ELSE FOR BEING THE WOOOOORST AT THIS GAME

You found your first idol! But in the process managed to alienate your first tribe by not talking to them nearly so much while you were searching. And during the TC you didn't come back to check in on people and socialize with them, so no one told you that you were going and you went home with the idol in your pocket. You had great potential that was greatly squandered and it was rather sad to see.

[xofelf]

I still don't believe anyone who said they had actual PMs with the guy after my paragraphs were met with ":)" and ":("

[xofelf]

430. Ashley Williams (TheUltimator) - Mass Effect

-

I was planning on being low, but not quite that low. I probably want to be a few spots higher, so that means talking to more people and participating more in the challenges.

These words proved prophetic because when Ashley didn't participate in the next challenge, she was out. Ashley was sweet and kinda nice to talk to, but at best, she was kinda there. She ended up confused with another player, Miranda, a lot due to avatar similarities and Miranda being the more memorable of the two. Ashley was close with a few people in our tribe, but ultimately extremely far down the totem pole and there isn't a whole lot to say about her.

[xofelf]

I did consider it. But what if she didn't come back?

[xofelf]

You were not the only one, and so no one else has to go through the levels of fuck no I just did, that part has been removed. Carry on.

[xofelf]

424. Hawkeye (Svenskt Stål) - Season Finale

-

this feels good, I dont think I am made for this game

You were new and trying to get into the swing of things and figure out how the game worked and if this was your type of thing. You quickly decided it wasn't. The only thing anyone can really remember about you is there was one time you told Nappa to fuck himself due to a PM you read as threatening, but then the two of you were buds right after. Best described as kinda there, like most of that game tbh.

[xofelf]

Tingle should not be going so soon. The story of what happened with him lasted much longer than just that first TC. Coming into the third tribe swap, Ruto was still talking about it. It was HUGE. And the even better part was, it was an entire misinterpretation of a single sentence that wasn't even an insult at all. Tingle stays just a bit longer.

[xofelf]

[xofelf]

418. Cao Boi (DeathNote) - Expect the Unexpected

-

Never gone out first before... not sure if I like it.

Going out first sucks. Going out first while you're experimenting on a different playstyle sucks even worse. DN decided he was going to try to pretend to be a newbie, but a bad newbie. Purposefully PMed a lot less and wasn't online nearly as often to play that role even more. And as to be expected, it backfired. But it didn't really backfire in a super memorable entertaining way. There are other people who did the same thing only to have it be much more of an event, so that's why I'm cutting him here.

[xofelf]

Sorry! Now that I'm not dizzy from bloodwork, y'all can have a cut.

411. Bowser Jr. (mallowgeno) - Survivor Mushroom Kingdom

-

I don't trust other players being able to somehow hack into here and get the info.

This game was just before my time, so hell if I know if you had any sort of effect on anything. But you only have one entire post in your confessional that isn't voting, and it's that. That's about all there is to say.

[xofelf]

"oh guys I'm not gonna cut tonight so I don't half-ass the post"

*posts 3 sentences*

Hey man, your guess was as good as mine as to who I was gonna cut. It could have been longer, I had no idea~

This game was just before my time, so hell if I know if you had any sort of effect on anything.

this appears negligent

I've read some things, just not all the things. Who even reads past games?

[xofelf]

He really wasn't doing much. I was okay with him, but he was no Sam or Wormtongue.

[xofelf]

404. Wario (horrordude0215) - Mushroom Kingdom

-

Well it could possibly come back and hurt me because they can choose to get together themselves and try to eliminate me instead

From what I can tell Wario could have done fairly alright, he seemed to be PMing people and trying to talk to them. But it seems like he made the mistake of after making alliances with a lot of people, sending out a PM that then informed everyone of this? It seemed like he was trying to play an open and honest game, but was way too open about his plans. And people don't really like to hear you're allied with absolutely everyone in your tribe.

[xofelf]

397. Legolas (kdowns) - Middle Earth

tl;dr I am about to be in an alliance with everyone... .-.

Unfortunately, allying with everyone just didn't work out for you, and you left two people out anyways. You were setting yourself for a possibly good spot. You had just booted your inactive. Your tribe was stacked with a lot of people who are known to be good players and entertaining and still fairly big names in games now. But some of your alliance flipped on you simply because you were too close to other people in the tribe. There's not too much else to say really. It's about as basic an early tribe vote out as you can have. There wasn't even any classic kdowns rage.

[xofelf]

He loves you even when you'd rather not return the favour.

[xofelf]

Everyone in my house, including me, is feeling sick yo. Post incoming, but calm yourselves dear god.

[xofelf]

390. Ash Ketchum (pickemgenius) - Destiny Islands

SUP UMADBRO? I GOT AN AWARD AND YOU DON'T. IM THE BEST I WIN THE GAME.

While Ash's confessional is a pretty alright read, cuz I mean, what PEG confessional isn't hilarious? He didn't really impact the game much at all. He got to pick a tribe once. But he got voted out over someone who hadn't really been contributing much yet. And that was about it. Fairly forgettable game from an unforgettable player.

[xofelf]

Awww no, Dobby was super cute in our Classroom. We were all really sad about him going.

[xofelf]

383. Bane 1.0 (D3f3nd3r) - Arkham Asylum

For now, just lie relatively low, try to find an alliance, and go from there.

It's kinda hard to lie low when your tribe accuses you of throwing a challenge in a game and blindsides you for it. Minimum Security 1 was kind of a mess in how they organized the challenge and Bane messed up what he was supposed to be submitting. When they lost, the tribe blamed Bane for it and assumed he was purposefully sabotaging the challenge. And he went out instead of the person who was largely inactive and quit the next round. He didn't even know why he was voted out until Two-Face joined him in the pre-jury forums. When it was time for returnees to come back, he almost made it back into the game and it was incorrectly announced he was back before a recount of the votes showed that it was actually Ace the Bathound who was back in and not Bane.

(I'm still sorry for that!)

[xofelf]

376. Toadette (crywolf20084) - Mushroom Kingdom

Alrighty so My first MC. Kinda interesting. I feel safe and that we have bigger fish to fry than myself.

I feel like I'm on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries here. Toadette was in this game, a few people talk about how she's honest and nice, but maybe a bit too honest and nice? It's gotta be fabricated maybe? She had a few people who considered her an ally. Her secret group likes her. She swaps to a new tribe with someone she likes and who at least talks about her. TC hits, everyone is talking about voting out two other people. Toadette and her ally Birdo are easily in this nice floaty between space where they can do whatever they want. Results happen and, what the hell? Toadette is gone. No one saw it coming, no one claims they made it happen or why. There's a rumor that it was Koopa's fault, but not how he did it or even if that's right. And then it's like it never mattered. There were vote edits and it seems like a last minute shift, but no one talks about why Toadette is gone. She's just gone and it's like she was never there.

[xofelf]

It was like one of the first times she ever talked to me tbh. "Hey, so girls alliance?" "Uh, sure" So yeah, the alliance with Thornton was always actually a real thing while that was not.

[xofelf]

369. Polar Paws (Axxle) - Pretty Super Vanilla

psv sounds like something I wouldn't want you contracting.

In his confessional, Polar Paws says he wanted to ease back and not be too overactive or pushy about talking game stuff too early. Except he went way too far and bearly existed. He didn't really PM too often or really do anything. He was just kinda there. After the swap he only shows up long enough to make a complaint about part of the creative challenge he didn't even contribute in, before not showing up again until about half way through TC. He tries to claim that he knows a group of people are already voting for someone not him, when some on the list he hadn't even PMed yet at all. It was just all around bad but not in a really entertaining way.

[xofelf]

I rementioned it, but I'm not sure if it's more complicated than just editing out that name.

[xofelf]

363. Mario 2.0 (Framm18) - Destiny Islands

I tend to keep my word, but I know that this game changes and if you aren't willing to change it can come back to haunt you. You can't really trust anyone either, and if you are naive enough to trust someone completely then you are just setting yourself up for a fall.

All around bland player. He stayed around and managed to be on jury because he was basically a number and he was useful on the front. No one really liked or disliked him. He was just kinda there until he kinda wasn't.

[xofelf]

Poor Rocket Raccoon

[xofelf]

356. Fiona (xtopherusD) - Greece

It's funny how many people are talking to everyone, even with nothing to actually talk about. I've had seven people contact me, and I don't even really know why.

You ever send one of those PMs that you know is gonna bite you in the ass, but you send it anyways? That's basically what happened to Fiona. Really early on, Fiona has a sense that Jamie is someone to watch out for and that she's trying to be everyone's friend, so Fi's solution to this is to try to get people paying attention to that. When Simis responds in a sort of vague way, she accuses him of lying even though she knows it's a bad idea to send it, but she does it anyways. Simis and Jamie are rather close, so Simis tells Jamie how much he hates Fiona and wants her gone and quotes her PM to Jamie. And they tell everyone. Fiona doesn't quite know what happened, but she can tell Simis and Jamie are pissed with her. It's a big thing and results in Fiona be voted out over Cornelia who was one-lining everyone and not connecting at all and would have been the first boot in any other circumstance. It was an entertaining way to watch someone go up in flames, but not nearly so entertaining to stick around past this.

[xofelf]

I kinda forget it was an f3 he's that forgetful. He has like no story at all. It was a different time then too, he wouldn't be a finalist in games now. Not by a long shot.

[xofelf]

He already told you. He's at the passport office.

[xofelf]

349. Viktor (Aronis) - Hogwarts

This has been a rather nerve raking experience today. You talk to people, you think you feel good about them, but you're always second guessing. But I'll find out where I stand tomorrow.

I don't think Viktor ever really did figure out where he stood. From his perspective it seems like he's in an okay place and has a few alliances. He's not at the top, but he's surely not on the bottom. You read anyone else's confessional and no one likes Viktor. He's hard to PM. He'll one-line you or not respond at all for a while, might be ignoring you? He seemed to think he was in this great spot where he talked to everyone, but he just didn't talk enough. He did respond to a 2 paragraph PM with K. And he did try to convince the person who was leaving to give him all of their gold. But outside of that, he didn't do anything and didn't have any real idea of what was going on in the Slytherin tribe.

[xofelf]

Except I'm not the only one who takes forever. So sorry I'm actually busy with real life things that take me away from my computer and are much more important than something I volunteered to do in the first place.

[xofelf]

342. Raspberry Sinceri-tea (Aronis) - Pretty Super Vanilla

Rather than the social butterfly playstyle I dreamed of being, my playstyle would be better described as a social catastrophe.

Speaking of players people forgot about in games, Raspberry sure was one of those. He did talk to some people some of the time. It didn't seem like he was having any fun and was continually grumpy. Not being around much and fairly poor challenge performance only contributed to people wanting him to go. At the TC he was voted out at only one person seemed to really like him at all. Everyone in that tribe wanted him to go, but didn't think numbers were there so they were voting Figgy. It was like they forgot they could vote him and talk about voting him. Once it was pointed out, away he went.

[xofelf]

to be clear my growling was because the third challenge in GoT was responsible for my departure (IIRC)

No you're right It still makes me sad, you were my boo <3

[xofelf]

I'M SORRY ARONIS BUT WE'RE AT THAT POINT FOR SOME OF THEM

[xofelf]

I'll tack on a few things about Jonny. Even though he was eliminated early, he had put a couple events in the forum calendar, like Jonny's Grandma's Funeral and there were a few of them. And just like most of Cheery's confessionals, even though he went early, he kept posting in his confessional about his commentary on game events and his life for a little while.

[xofelf]

335. Sheik (Espeonage) - Hyrule

I've tried not to stand out to most people, but just tried to get along. Like I've joked around with a few of them with some banter so I think most like me, but by the same token I don't think anyone dislikes me. I've led big alliances in the past and it bites you endgame. So I want to be close to the top but not right at the very top just yet. I do make enemies though. You need to otherwise you can't get people to split into alliances.

Reading through Sheik's confessional you might think that Sheik was gonna go great places. You read other people's confessionals and that doesn't seem to be the case. I don't think Sheik quite realized the way he rubbed some people wrong. The way Sheik contributed to the first challenge really annoyed people. And then when the second challenge happened and there was next to no chance for Kokiri to win, Epona and Navi threw the challenge for the possibility of items because a Sheik vote was already going to happen anyways and #mutinynecklacewasworthit.

[xofelf]

We talked post game and realized that what he was trying to say to me and what he did say and I understood were ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS. He said to me in a PM that he wanted in my alliance. And I was like, "uhhh I can't really say sure be in this group alliance where only one of those people is even here right now." what he was TRYING to say to me was "hey, i will be your vote machine if you keep me." Oops.

[xofelf]

To be fair, without Clara/Amy, I never would have touched time travel either. But yessss, the Jesssstersssss tribe thankssss you from the bottom of our heartsssss for how that tribe sssswap went.

[xofelf]

That's the real villain of that game.

[xofelf]

Oh god, actually early PMs with the two of you are eerily similar. IT MIGHT ACTUALLY WORK. Get lalaladucks to play again and really fuck us up.

[xofelf]

UT has never looked so good.

[xofelf]

I was, but there were 2 or 3 non finalists that in The Search For Toadette I found to be more of a character than other people in other games so I was cutting there before going back to the purge.

[xofelf]

Sorry. I did NOT expect to just fall asleep like that >.>

[xofelf]

Don't you mean PimHel?

No wait, that never happened because it would forever fuck the ELO board, nevermind~

[xofelf]

328. Sam (Framm 18) - Middle Earth

Question: If we were to go to tribal and I was willing to sacrifice myself for the other members of the green tribe, would I be allowed to no vote? (Just wondering)

So much drama... This is getting ridiculous. *sigh* I am envious of Galadriel not having to vote.

There's not too awful much to say about Sam. He was extremely loyal to the point of being sacrificial. He'd rather do what people wanted and follow along than make any waves or #bigmoves. His biggest plans were to just stay in the game. He was cute and sweet and oh my gosh, such a fluffy sheep. Any time votes were any amount of difficult or drama-filled, he had somewhat of a rough time with them. He didn't really affect a whole lot of the game, and outside of being relatively nice and harmless, he wasn't much of a character. Even when there was the challenge where all the dead players got to talk to the living and vote for which tribe should go to TC, he was only mildly disappointed about Aragorn's betrayal of him. He seemed more disappointed about the fact that Aragorn lied to his face instead of just telling him what was going on, than he was about being eliminated there.

[xofelf]

There were a lot of flakers and quits in that 30. And you are entirely correct about confessionals being sparse at best with the exception of a few people. The other part is that with so little go on, having any sense of people's entertainment value is pretty damn impossible. Even talking to the people who were in the game doesn't really give you much of sense of that. People don't really remember the players of Mushroom Kingdom at all or talk about them. The challenges and certain aspects to the game are mentioned here in there. Otherwise it's a rather forgettable game.

[xofelf]

9th is probably because it's one of those rounds that moves can happen in since most of the time the lower merge vote fodder is gone. It's also a round where people make moves too early for their respective games and things backfire on them in entertaining ways.

[xofelf]

Oh, also, 9 often is the beginning of jury.

[xofelf]

Actually from what I've read, Koopa was more than just a gamebot? There's a few things that happened which people did not expect due to Koopa. He's not the Mushroom Kingdom person I would have suggested being cut next, he sure did some shit and he has personality, maybe not in his own confessional, but through the eyes of other people. In the context of games now, yeah a super non-character. In context of that game though? He should have still stuck around a bit longer.

[xofelf]

That entire round and the one after are just ridiculous. You were allowed to pass immunity to people, but it would reset the deadline and obviously be public. So at the start of the round both Narom and Kirrahe didn't really exist. So Harb and Liara traded immunity back and forth to get an entire day's extension just so that Narom could show up and vote. And Kirrahe still didn't show up due to Cybele's RL issues. There's a public Kasumi thread asking if we can all just agree to vote out the people who effectively disappeared and get back to the real game. There's a rule change where multiple non-submissions will just remove you from the game entirely because people just weren't there. There was a lot of stuff that happened around Kirrahe and Kirrahe's nonexistence that were very entertaining that I felt should be mentioned here.

[xofelf]

Most is decent, but that's not why batwoman won.

[xofelf]

Oh, that's actually really sad. He used to have an album of them linked somewhere, but I guess that's where all the missing ones are from.

[xofelf]

Funny that you would be the one asking for them, kdowns...

321. Rory Williams (kdowns) - Doctor Who

It's good ole kdowns here again. This time, I am here to prove my self and make up for the past few games. Life isn't able to fuck me over in this game as I finally am free of real life commitments, so expect to see me at the finish line.

Honestly, Rory really disappoints me. He was allied up with the bigger names of this game and was generally liked. He was well positioned for an absolutely great performance as a great character. And then the psuedomerge ends and Rory is just gone. His confessional essentially just stops. He's very pissy with Amy and co about messing with Time Travel for Nefertiti, and that's the last bit of important content we actually get from him. He says something near the end of the game how he stopped caring but not much else. He had all this amazing potential and could have done great things, but he flaked. No player, game mechanic, swap, or twist backstabs kdowns as hard as life does.

[xofelf]

I agree with this cut. It's time for memes to become dreams.

[xofelf]

Oh no, it's even BETTER than that. Merry self-voted because he didn't want to have to make a decision during that TC between either side. So he self-voted instead.

[xofelf]

It was both cute and frustrating <3

[xofelf]

Well that's the Kasumi side of things. Him being partnered with Harbinger for the secret pairs meant he was also useful to us because he kept doublevoting with Harbinger even while he was voting on his own with you here and there. He honestly was in this really interesting playing both sides place that I don't really think people really noticed. He was very cute with Harb, and helped contribute to our group's win. Deadline extension happened so he would get online to double vote and be useful.

[xofelf]

Yeah, Legion was his baeeee. It's still funny how he screwed over his favourite by the times he worked with us.

[xofelf]

Idk, I was okay with it

[xofelf]

Have used PEG as a vote machine, would recommend. I r8 him 8/8 m8.

[xofelf]

314. Gollum (animorpherv1) - Middle Earth

I will murder the next person to throw sudoku in a challenge.

If this win goes through, I will be self voting. I have no issue with that, as this is the biggest bullshit win I have ever seen.
I would never, ever, allow someone to guess two things for the same puzzle at once.

Sorry Ani, but like we've recently talked about this, I was your number 1 ally in this game and we were on every tribe together, but I can not tell you a single thing about Gollum as a character or even what you did. Gollum is more remembered for stepping up to comod after Shii and TS flaked on Nich than he is in the game. I almost think that Gollum could be categorized as a sheep? In looking at Green Tribe, alliances were brought to you, only one of them happened on their own that wasn't a suggestion from me. Gold Tribe was a huge mess and could have had a lot of character, but apart from being grumpy about some things, there's not much here. You were in the game but all around very generic and bland, until after you stepped up to comod.

[xofelf]

Somewhere with Drench.

[xofelf]

Ani has to get home from work first children.

[xofelf]

307. Barney (PrivateI) - Season Finale

I feel as though experiencing the joy of dying together would be more than I could handle.

Okay, so this is actually a really hard cut for me. I've kinda been defending him as a character for a long while now because I just absolutely adore him so. Probably my favourite first boot next to Tingle. But, I can't justify him ranking much higher than this. So let me tell you about the joy and terror that was Barney. First you need to know that before the game even started, Monty informed me that he had spent the last week doing research to be in character. That's right. He had been watching Barney and listening to Barney music so as to make sure he would have the right kind of persona going into this. And oh, did he deliver. For such a short time in the game, and with so little said, he was magical. Season Finale had a Shoutbox instead of a GD forum, and during the first day of the game, Barney ran a trivia game which everyone was allowed to participate in, including the mods. Barney promised that whomever won the trivia game would gain an advantage in the F4 challenge of the game. Cosima, one of the mods, did win. What Barney didn't know was that there was a flavour mechanic where Cosima would "join" the players in playing the F4 challenge as a temporary player. Unfortunately, due to how the Shoutboxes work, most of the things Barney has ever said are lost. Just due to being Barney, he was slightly unsettling and boy did he utilize that. There's a PM exchange in his confessional with Nappa that is just kind of hysterical. It's a real shame that he wasn't able to help out nearly so much with the first challenge, because there were so many more great things in store with this character and we could have had a much more interesting game.

[xofelf]

No, Drench kinda... keeps having this thing where he's in America and he likes to get injured. So when he's not doing things like that, he'll bring is sass right back I am sure.

[xofelf]

Nope, not just that. CC doesn't want to be a ranker anymore, so as he's already in the chat and was part of it originally, Xalxe's been offered the spot, if he says no, then someone who has preferably played/spectated/modded a majority of these games is welcome to take his spot.

[xofelf]

You don't understand, I have a series of PMs with Draco where I'm talking him out of quitting the game over not getting the full 10 galleons for his confessional. Like there were quite a few times he wanted to just quit the game after giving me all of his gold. And Stan and I were not down with this. We wanted his vote much more than we wanted his gold. So he stayed and it was gr8. He also was super cute and I loved him in my classroom.

[xofelf]

You did. You were on the swapped tribe with him when he finally went out. I was not.

[xofelf]

Oh god..That..is not what I remembered either..

[xofelf]

300. Ralts 2.0 (Drench) - Eon

id rather eat ass than do this
ok maybe thats not the best comparison

Drench, pumpkin, you know how much I love you, you know how much Ralts has to go. Ralts did very good with that Dora the Explorer Finds Immunity Idols with the help of her friend Oshawatt, outside of you know, actually getting to an idol first. Ralts just was not there like at all. Drench was in the middle of either the First or Second Great Passport Fiasco of 2016 so he was justifiably Away From The Forum. He was given a chance to make up for missing the first challenge just due to being generally chill and an alright guy and promising to be there for challenge 2. What a surprise. He's not there. We are very shocked. It's not a super easy vote, and it's a lot tighter than Zorua would have liked, that's for sure. At one point Oshawat had passed over his idol to Ralts and Ralts... passed it back? Very honorable I guess, and /I/ appreciate it, but why? Otherwise nothing happens with Ralts, and it's a typical story about how America really needs to stop severely maiming or emotionally damaging Drench every single fucking time he's visiting here like what the fuck.

Ooo colour change time guys~

[xofelf]

He was a great ally....up until he was taking 3 days to respond to time sensitive pms. Being wartortled sucks guys. Also ugh, you stole one of my cuts I was so looking forward to.

In regards to Harwood, as a character, definitely a much weaker one, especially for PEG. I remember we talked a few times but as a guy, relatively bland. I've had to be reminded a few times that Harwood was in the game let alone that he was PEG. He had none of the personality in my experience you get from a PEG character. That said, his write up could be done a whole hell of a lot better. PEG confessionals will always give you tons of material to craft something from, and it's not like there isn't a lot of active confessionals to draw from for even more. And even if we all thought in terms of character, Harwood was currently the lowest from Greece, he deserves better than that with where we are right now.

We're over 300 guys, even if you played or modded the game in question, reread for that particular character if you please. Other perspectives than your own will always give a better story if not hopefully the true one. Drench campaigning and all is understandable, but there's time before your turn to figure shit out. Make a short list of potentials if you want and just focus there for a while, whatevs. But we're supposedly at people who can be talked about, so let's talk about them.

[xofelf]

Brienne was my faaaavourite. Such a sad departure.

[xofelf]

Xander fit his avatar, that much I remember thinking.

[xofelf]

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Did you give him the avatar that fit him the most, or did he specifically choose to play that kind of guy once you gave it to him?

[xofelf]

A-Liz <3 Her hat is still the best hat.

[xofelf]

Funny thing, when Julie asked me about some plan to screw her over due to being a replacement I really didn't have any idea what the fuck she was talking about. Her public rant told me more about what she thought was going on than what actually was going on with why she was being voted from what I knew. Y wasn't even trying to dictate to me, I was honestly pretty disappointed I didn't get to meet this Y she was portraying. He sounded like an actually decent character.

[xofelf]

Oh, that's right, you did claim that Y made you do shit. I had forgotten that you pretended not being a leader type, whooooooooops~

[xofelf]

The list of people in that secret skype chat who bitch about PEG is much shorter than those who tell those people to shut their whore mouths and sit there in their wrongness and think about how wrong they are because PEG is a goddamn treasure.

293. Jesse (Snakes) - Season Finale

It's been a fun game. It wasn't the most exciting, but I had a great time.
[snip]
Mods, you did a great job. Sure the game could have used a swap, but the main reason it turned out as it did was because of the players. The players decide how the game turns out, not the twists. Besides that, the game ran really smoothly.
[snip]
I regret my confessional about you the most. Not because of anything I said about you, but because of what I didn't. I was a gamebot in these confessionals, and I only talked about strategy in here. I never planned on voting you out, but I talked a lot in here about making sure that I would beat you. Now that the game is going to be over tomorrow, I regret being a gamebot about you and not sitting back and enjoying our bond.

Okay, I know some of you are going to be screaming because "What the fuck?! This is a game winner!!! AND THIS ISNT JUST ANY GAME WINNER THIS IS RECORD-HOLDING MULTI-WINNER SNAKES?!?!? I REALLY MUST PROTEST!!!" but hear me out. I gotta agree, we're at a point where character and personality matter far more than gameplay and placement. But most especially when you look at this game in particular. Is how this game ended up on an entertainment front due to poor design choices? Oh hell yes. We done fucked up on that front. However, as even Snakes said himself, players are what decide things. So we have the players to thank for what Finale was. None nearly so much as Jesse. And Jesse is what I like to affectionately call a Snakesbot. It's Snakes being a gamebot without all of the great personality parts and realness that makes Snakes a great person. But Jesse isn't just any old Snakesbot, of which there are a few, oh no. For any of you who have ever watched the show, watched Jesse was like watching Spencer Bledsoe play one of our forum games but without any of the redeeming(okay listen, I know some people don't think he has any, y'all can suck my dick) qualities that add entertainment to watching Spencer. Jesse found his way into power like within maybe 10 or 15 minutes of the first day? and then he never lost it and never had to really fight for it. And he was boring. He had strategy for pages and pages in his confessional, but none he ever actually needed because he had way too many people willing to sacrifice their games for his without him needing to ask. His game, while some have moral outrage at, good, but as a character? Bad. He has no story or growth or progress on that front.
As the Anonymous Survivor's own personal Mary Sue, Jesse I am cutting you.

[xofelf]

Orianna isn't a Snakesbot, she's fine <3 (also someone thought she was xof for like a couple rounds, I would NEVER)

[xofelf]

*angry muttering* Oh it sure netted him something alright.

[xofelf]

Idk, I loved Rex forcing White Rabbit to write longer and longer PMs to the point it was making it almost impossible for her to PM anyone else they were so long. And his adamant refusal to be Poison Ivy's pet was hilarious. Sarah Jane also has a really interesting place in my heart. Both really easy to work with and talk to but also other times extremely difficult to talk to at all and relate to, and the back and forth between those extremes was a bit much at times, but it was oddly endearing.

[xofelf]

I just wanted two puppies.

YOU MAY HAVE ONE.

[xofelf]

No, no. You don't understand about that coin flip either... I was the only member of my tribe online......... for the next like 4 or 5 hours IF THAT. So he's not flipping this coin between helping me who has nobody to help them at all, and the other tribe who has at least 2 on right then, and there was a third person who had hopped on at one point, oh no it's not that, the coin toss is ACTUALLY which of the two ways he can help this tribe and fuck mine is he going to go with.

[xofelf]

In a challenge, that is correct. Nich totally designed that and I totally ran it. But my tribe basically didn't have a shot as it was, if he was going to just say no to helping me not go to TC, that's fine. Coinflip wasn't really necessary, kind of a dick move tbh. But I see the entertainment in it.

[xofelf]

You know.. I don't think the person I've exchanged the longest continual series of PMs with is Snakes or Ceph or Fen or Klick actually. I'm almost entirely sure it's PiggyGal, most specifically as Stan in Hogwarts. While we may not have the highest PM count, we uh have really really really long PMs. Like to the point, we have two separate PM chains, one for fluff stuff and another for serious things especially TC talks.

[xofelf]

I feel you Chev. It takes far too long for it. I don't really like to most of the time. If I like someone it's cool, but otherwise it's work and nah fuck that. Give me a PM I can finish answering in 10 minutes or less plz. None of this 20 minutes plus bullshit. Like, you're a good person to PM Chev, they're things I can get to and conversation goes nicely, we just don't meet up early enough to get a good thing going, or if we do not everyone feels the same way and it's THE WORST EVER UGH BRIENNEEEEEEEEEE

[xofelf]

Idk having all this dbz chat has seemed to work as a distraction from the fact that someone hasn't posted their cut yet today.




























KLICK

[xofelf]

Thanks Monica.

[xofelf]

It's easier to meme than properly post when you're not at an actual computer man.

[xofelf]

Lol, I was at my computer then.
Poor Tingle. Some men are just never truly understood and it's a crying shame.

[xofelf]

Tingle got idoled once by me already. It's his time reck. Let him go. It's okay. He's the highest placing 24th place boot by a fuckton. Let him have that. We did him good.

[xofelf]

Yeah, like numbers was originally a newbie who didn't pick up their login pm so betch replaced in. And since he hadn't originally been planning to play, he didn't have his usual plan, but he isn't your usual quit. He quit in much the same way tights had to. "Life shit, I am so sorry to have to do this to you and the game, but I got to leave." And I think tired drunk drench overlooked a lot, but I know there's someone else who'd like to say more words on that so I'll not take that from him.

[xofelf]

Okay, so here's a thing guys. Drench is being great and helping with election things, so he is entirely unavailable to cut at all until Wednesday. So I know while we've been waiting for this one, some of us already know who we're cutting, in the interest of at least still having content even if delayed, some of us are gonna purposefully take a good portion of the 24 hour deadlines so that Drench's turn won't come back again until he will be done making sure America doesn't fuck it up. There's gonna be a wait either way, but one still gives cuts and one has a ridiculous void. Let's be less void.

[xofelf]

Goat Simulator~

[xofelf]

Oh hell yes. She was everyone's BEST FRIEND. Like, Jesse was strategy Spencerbot. Numbers? Numbers was that social person everyone wanted a piece of. Most likely to be voted Prom Queen. If she hadn't quit, only thing that would have taken her out might have been some sort of item, but even then, there weren't ones really strong enough for that. She was almost assuredly going to the end unless people could stop drinking the kool-aid and following the cult leader and realize she could only go to the end with one person and not the entire game. She was enchanting.

There are more people like Amumu Bro, they tend not to be talked about with the same amount of affection I suppose. Not enough kool-aid.

[xofelf]

Klick is definitely a player who has a fair amount of characters who I agree fit the type of Social you're talking about Bro, and also aren't talked about nearly as often as they should be maybe.

[xofelf]

You're the winner that game deserved for sure <3 not gonna lie, every now and then I go back and read your speeches cuz I like them so much.

[xofelf]

HA SORRY I HAVE BEEN BUSY TODAY I TOTALLY HAVE A THING THAT WILL GO UP AFTER MY KID IS DINNERED AND PUT TO BED.

[xofelf]

Lol okay, I'll have him pick a name off of my list then, fuck it. So if none of you like who it is, blame Mark.

[xofelf]

Hilariously, he picked the name I was already considering cutting anyways, so no change.

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.

[xofelf]

i still hate xof for Empress

I jusssst don't undersssstand what your issssssue with Empressss isssss. It utterly bogglesssss my mind. Sssshe'ssss jusssst ssssso ssssuper fantassssstic!

[xofelf]

Well he's not asleep yet, hold up. I'll ask.

"Mark, why was this guy cut from the game?"
"I don't know."
"Give it your best guess."
"Because he didn't like it."

[xofelf]

Lol, yeah. I fucked a lot of people that game. It was a fun game.

[xofelf]

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.

[xofelf]

Zod's closing speech thoooooo

[xofelf]

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

[xofelf]

IT WAS ACTUALLY KINDA THE WORST. It was also February. And I live in NY and it was a very cold winter. I might have done the F6 or F5 TC in 9F degree weather. Down the road from me is the Social Services building and they always have an open WiFi connection even on weekends even at 2 am for some ungodly reason and I had a working tablet at the time. So that was the only way I got through weekends until we could get internet back in my house again. It took a good 2 weeks I believe? But that was halfway through merge all the way til F3. There was just nothing I could do about it. Thanks Time Warner!

[xofelf]

I am very dedicated to survivor.

[xofelf]

Hogwarts had one and it was great. I went to the antiques store down the road and found a bunch of things.

[xofelf]

Didn't he also like, talk about porn a fair amount or am I thinking of a different guy?

[xofelf]

Mkay, I remembered that was a thing but not how much of a thing.
Well Ani, you can always give your words anyways~

[xofelf]

Zefron happened due to typo I had, and it just sorta happened and worked. Like, we were calling him HMS, but I ended up using HSM which led to discussions of High School Musical and Zac Efron, and the nickname just sorta stuck. Also, it really feels like you completely missed the character of Zefron and instead see the gameplay of Zefron. So when it's less busy, I have some more words to say.

[xofelf]

Hey, I remind people. Sometimes they have shit goin down which keeps them from getting to cuts. Such is the case currently. Give it a week or so and things will probably be a lot less weird for most people.

[xofelf]

Move anyways.

[xofelf]

Yes, actually. They're fun

[xofelf]

Gettin there! I know who I want at least!

[xofelf]

Yeah sorry, I've had a few very busy days filled with lots of modding and RL appointments, and then crashing for extensive amounts of sleeping. I hadn't had time to read this person I knew I was cutting that I know nothing about and no one talks about. Doing it up right now.

[xofelf]

281. Vaati (ZZZX)- Hyrule

Reported ur post instead of quoting omg I suck

The reason that I make sure to read before I make my cuts are for characters like Vaati. If you went by his confessional alone, yeah he's pretty chill and like a newbie version of PEG or Drench without fun and flair that makes their confessionals and characters so entertaining. And that would be an incredible disservice to Vaati. He'd be easily forgettable because he didn't really do a whole lot except... for the Tribal Council 7 Discussion thread. There are people who go out with public displays(Looking at you Julie Chen) but this one was actually game changing, just not Vaati. It's honestly a thread that should be read in its entirety so check it out here, but for those who don't feel like clicking, keep reading. Vaati is very chill, doesn't really talk a whole lot because he's rather busy, but he's very loyal to the tribe. He thinks in terms of numbers and tribe lines. Top of the line, Sheepy Pawn Pagong-o-matic Gamebot. Ideal follower material. That kind of guy. So he lives through his first two tribes. But then Zora 2.0 goes to TC and he starts a thread with the following post:

Now that we are in tribal council 7 there is a very important topic that really interests the new commers and they should read it.

Naturally the members of zoro before the new merge were within out tribe. We have survived challenge after challenge to avoid this situation however the mods prob thought we were too outragous and decided to give us a panelity by forcing this council.

Anyway since you all have heard we have actually had ALOT of interactions and that naturally puts you into a disadvantage


Or so I wanted to say.

For this council the vote will prob be between volvo/bow. Some inner voting will happen and it will be decided. For one navi has decided to be quite capable at challenges including numbers. Also the survivor will prob be accepted as well as an old member after this situation after getting to know each others for more since we didnt really have enough interactions and naturally it is harder to get rid of a person we knew for a long time in favor for another we didnt hear off.

So after this council voting is done I would love if you would follow what is decided and try to pm all members about all issues. get a chat going and have fun. Getting to know people is the best way to stay safe.

Thanks for reading.

Vaati.

No one else has decided this or even discussed this. No one has asked Vaati to do this. This is just Vaati.

the group we have is what actually survived till now. It is not a work of indivisuals but work of groups. It was because i want you guys to merge with us that i did this post. how easy is it to just PM the grup for a stealth lynch? so freakign easy isnt it? but I believe that we must survive at all costs. all of us.

"You know what? I think what would make the most sense here is to just talk about this with everyone. It's best for the whole tribe I think. I am sure that they will understand why and just let it happen. And then we can just talk and be friends after. It'll be fine." It is not fine. The thread kinda explodes because obviously, Bow-Wow and Vee are NOT down with this. But it also has the entire tribe start talking about how "Vaati, why are you trying to force the vote between these two people?" and how Vaati is easily the one person on the tribe that everyone can agree no one knows anything about and has the most difficulty talking to in any way. It's not just being busy, considering during this TC a lot of other people are also busy and having other life issues, he just simply doesn't socialize. So when Vee says "I have an alternative. I'm voting for Vaati." no one has enough of a connection to him to keep him. But this thread also makes Navi feel uncomfortable enough in this tribe that he chooses to use his mutiny necklace which allows him to swap to the other tribe, which also gives him another idol. Vaati realizes later on how much of a mistake he made by making this thread but it's way too late. This beautiful disaster has been had, and he's gone. His actions affected a lot of the rest of how the people on that tribe interacted as well, and how they felt about Navi escaping like that and a lot of the game after. But, outside of this one TC, he as a character is rather boring and this is where I feel he goes.

[xofelf]

Hey, that's fair. I remember that this event actually happened, but I did not remember that it was Vaati who did this. I knew Midna was a great character and awesome, same with Zelda. I even remember hearing some things about Medli. But for whatever reason the fact that the thread was made by Vaati, somehow it was always someone else who had made that thread. I knew he must still be around for some reason, unless he had just been forgotten about? And it wouldn't be a completely shitty write up. I didn't know Vaati had such fans since I've never heard anyone talk about him specifically. Sorry!

[xofelf]

Lol. THE chatzy. Which one? I had about 10 in that game alone with lots of different people that wasn't just that alliance with Navi/Skull Kid/Barinade. Hard to offer someone a chatzy instead of PMs for quickness if you never meet them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[xofelf]

Snakes is apparently currently working on stuff, so it'll be up eventually~

[xofelf]

Idk man, Stormy was great. That DW jury i'm not sure how to order.
Thanks for cutting me from that jury, Cheery Dog. I see how it is.

[xofelf]

Travel time. Some people spend more than a single day but rather the whole weekend.

[xofelf]

Did he? I don't about this Voldemort you speak of...

[xofelf]

I may have been rather confused at the time they happened, but I definitely look back on the smiley PMs with great fondness which is why I talk about them so often. I was really trying really hard to get you to talk to me with what I was writing and gave you a lot to work with and just.. smileys. Which I managed to use but also they made me laugh and still do. But it was roughly the only interaction we ever had. You sent the first PM, sure. But then... one smiley, and one frowny face.. and that was it ever. And Peeves had been saving some of the BEST nicknames for Voldemort all game and I was very disappoint we didn't talk more for me to use them.

[xofelf]

Tell Drench that. Or Ani to wake up.

[xofelf]

Haha yeah. Okay, so. Xalxe will be taking Ani's spot. Also, yeah I totally know I am SO BEHIND. Figuring out what to do about the Ani slot was one thing, but finishing up Medevac, prepping Nexus, and running Clash is a whooole lot of modding. And a whole slew of other RL things have kept me a very very busy xoffy. SO, hopefully a cut will happen sometime very soon, but that all depends if it calms down here long enough for me to have the time tonight, may have to be tomorrow from me, but the ones after could.

[xofelf]

I'm with Crazy on this tbh. Just chill a bit. Cuts will happen, just perhaps they won't happen nearly as fast as they did at the start, but that is because we're at the point where these are harder and there is a lot more to say about people. I'd honestly much rather have a well-researched cut that is written well and takes a while rather than a rushed half-assed cut simply because nobody has any goddamn patience. Let it still be fun, yeah? Pushing people to do things faster and bitching when it doesn't happen is slowly killing the fun entirely for some and will probably kill the whole thing, so let's not, yeah? I haven't given up on this, I have just been really busy the last week and a half and not in the right mindset to write where it was fair to any of these characters left. Medevac ends in an hour, you may just have a cut from me soon after that too, or before then. Who knows?~

[xofelf]

its worth noting that this was never supposed to be super quick, everyone is just impatient as fuck.

[xofelf]

275. Robin 1.0 (kloud1516/xofelf) - Arkham Asylum

Also, could you ship in a new pair of short-shorts for me? I've been running around a lot and I'd really prefer not to chafe. ;]

I have been rather conflicted about what we should do about Robin ever since the Rankdown started. Too far and the mod-run character is beating out legitimate characters played by one person who weren't merely a game mechanic. Too early and that doesn't give kloud credit for the amount of life he breathed into this character that I would not have had time to do on my own for my first time modding. I think this is a rather good place to put him, and I also wanted to be the one to tell his story.

So for those who don't know what the fuck I am talking about, let me tell you a little story about Arkham Asylum, MS's first bastard Survivor game. We had a mod-controlled character. This was my pet project for the game. However, I was well aware that I would not have enough time to fully devote to Robin for the fake slot to actually function how it should and be believed by both the other players, but also the spectators. We also felt that having one of the mods participate in the challenges with players and with tribes was more interference than we wanted Robin to have. Our solution was to ask my dear friend kloud if he would be willing to help out by hydraing with me to run Robin while also spectating. Due to how much of the modding I ended up taking on by the time the game ended, Robin is 90% kloud, and 10% xof. One of the early game challenges was purposefully included to have a penalty so that Robin's inability to vote was not questioned by spectators or unexpected by players. There was also a challenge created to specifically remove Robin from the game at a set point should he still be alive, or a normal one should he no longer be in the game.

Now Robin could have very easily been just a traditional amount of mod fuckery, but not how kloud and I handled him. We both handled PMs and Robin talked to everyone in order to have some influence into their game, but without the ability to vote all he had was words, which often are enough. We made a confessional with themed threads, where one has gifs to represent certain moments, another is purely about alliances and player thoughts, and another is just simply plans. We crafted a story where he's sorta new or is he, it's not really clear? He has very clear plans on what he wants to do and how he is going to make them happen. We made Robin also be a spectator favourite as much as we tried to make him a player favourite. So when Robin is starting to just feel really frustrated and upset by the game stuff and plays the elimination challenge and is eliminated, the spectators cared as much as the players did. Robin was an extremely fun mechanic and character to manage, and it would not have been possible without kloud, but his amazing and highly controversial journey ends here.

[xofelf]

Arkham Asylum, MS's first bastard Survivor game

I think this takes away credit from Destiny Islands, although that one wasn't intended to be a bastard game

Ah, that's a good point. I suppose I was more going with games that were intending to be from the start.

[xofelf]

If by controversial you mean blatantly wrong, then yeah you did it buddy. Gold Star for you. There are at least two players left in Hyrule that have less character than Barinade does. All you've done is focus on F8 to F6 if you're categorizing Barinade by the so-called "Chatzy alliance". I get it, everyone hates chatzies. Everyone hates this alliance. However, it seems like no one actually read the game around what actually happened and instead is defining character by something disliked that didn't happen at all the way it has been portrayed. Due to this "Chatzy Alliance" hatred, a whole lot of things about Barinade's character seem to have been forgotten. Spectators don't just choose someone as most likely to win for no reason, and Barinade WAS chosen at least twice and as person most likely to take down Navi. Bari had alliances outside of Cat Party(the real actual name ftr). Bari was extremely well-liked by the vast majority of the game. He was swapped into a tribe as the only Kokiri on the Fairy Tribe and he didn't make it out of a tribe that would have fucked anyone else for no reason. Bari also didn't go out without a struggle, he just did not know about being the vote or just how hard I fought for him to stay. Saying that Bari was merely part of the "Chatzy alliance" is basically saying that the only part of him that ever mattered were about 3 rounds while you're throwing every other round of the game away as unimportant. Last time I checked, Hyrule didn't only have 8 players.

[xofelf]

That's cool dude, you can disagree. It's my idol to use how I choose, and this is how I chose to use it.

[xofelf]

[moves all of xofelf's faves onto my hitlist] you've made a fearsome enemy today x of elf

Make sure to move yourself as well as every player left right over there friend. I don't really do favourites, I kinda love everybody.

[xofelf]

It's after being eliminated though. Like, this is why he hasn't been cut yet. That confessional is HUGE for a second place boot, he stayed active basically the whole game. BUT, in the actual game itself? he didn't actually do much of anything as a character. What I remember about him myself is actually more that he had rants about how he thought Toxic was Cybele and how much he fucking hated Toxic because he was Cybele, and then lo and behold Toxic was TS's best friend Shiidaji. Oops.

[xofelf]

Honey, you lost him a long time ago.

[xofelf]

No.

(I know who I'm cutting, I've just not had the time to dig into their confessional today. But i will probably tomorrow)

[xofelf]

Because life happens in the shittiest ways. I am so very sorry, if things are less chaotic today, there will be a post. Sorry I suuuuuuuuck.

[xofelf]

I may just have life explosions be unable to handle more than one thing at a time so things fall by the wayside. It's time to pick this one back up! The first way we're going to do that is by starting with we are changing the way we all cut. There isn't going to be a strict order in how we all cut people anymore. Instead, this will simply be done in rounds. Each round will be a week in which each of the rankers may cut someone at any time they so choose. If we get through every ranker, then next round awesome. If we don't, that's fine too. With all of us suddenly randomly having lives and actually wanting to do this some sort of justice as well as finish it, it removes the pressure of more distinct deadlines and just gives it a momentum still. There may be 7 cuts a round, there may just be 2. Depends on the week. If Snakes or Ceph want to finish out this particular round, they're welcome to OR we can just consider tomorrow a brand new round. So without further ado, let's get back to this shit.

269. Weeping Angel (Aronis) - Doctor Who

Wtf. How on earth am I supposed to talk to people that have no interest in talking to me. I have half a mind to just ignore them for a day.

There's not a whole lot I can really say about Angel tbh. In a lot of ways he was a victim of circumstance. It took him a while to warm up to people, and he just wasn't given the time to do so really before he was gone. Aronis was still new and getting into the groove of how to talk with people in games. He was still a little too open at times and then not at all at other times. Very game related chats but often not a whole lot else to bring people back for more. Angel was honestly sweet and easy to deal with due to that in fact, but it didn't give too many people much to work with and she didn't have too many close friends. This all came to a head when Sontar went to TC. Stormy genuinely liked Angel and was the only person on that tribe to do so. Amy and Clara had an alliance of sorts with him but if need be he could be cut loose easily enough with no fight whatsoever especially if it meant keeping Neffie in. Dorium didn't like Angel at all. Jack was more indifferent than anything. But then when Amy said to Angel that she was thinking of voting Jack out, and then Angel told this to Jack everything exploded in Angel's face. Jack did not take this kindly at all. And very publicly called Angel out for all of this. Angel was lucky that people felt more sympathetic towards him or instead of Jack, he could have gone home right then. The tribe was very uncomfortable for Angel so the swap was a welcome change, and having Stormy who he genuinely likes and likes him, and Neffie who he likes but isn't fairly active made the new tribe a much better place. Oh but then Neffie gets voted out and Amy and Clara don't like that. And who over on Earth can they afford to swap out of the game? Oh that's right, Angel. They can afford to lose Angel, and no one is likely to throw a fit about that. They weren't completely right on that. It was a move that ultimately cost them the game, and there were some people who were upset to lose Angel but there wasn't anything that could be done about that, but Neffie was taken back out at the very least for Angel. There's not a whole lot to Angel himself but he was a key piece in some of the most important things that happened in that game.

Sorry my computer exploded it's amazing how not using a computer for 8 months makes it really slow at first . But alright, thank you. It was Drench's plan, but yes. It was a much better plan all around.

But anyways, one of my favourite things about Rex was that he played this game with White Rabbit where he purposefully would make PMs longer just to see if she would respond back. It got to a point it was almost hindering her ability to PM anyone else she was spending so much time writing back to Rex. And yet, she didn't tell him to stop? And still loved it? It was the best thing. His game commentary after being voted out was also really good. He kept a very good confessional for such an early boot.

Also, about spreadsheet, I can give edit access, but I need email info from D3f to do so--Skype me about this. I'll update the spreadsheet for this right now.

Okay, both Shakira and Turtwig hadn't been cut because they actually had character. Gameplay wasn't great which is why the went out early, but as entertainment and character they were great in their own rights which is why they were still around. Shakira was a huge fucking mess and sent some of the weirdest PMs on the entire planet after not speaking to people for days at a time. There was one exchange where she hadn't spoken to me in 3 days and her first PM to me was asking me how I felt about anime involving lesbian necrophilia. And then Turtwig was absolutely adorable and sweet but he tried to pull a huge move in his first TC or something and that's why he went out, because he decided not to just let the early TC be boring. He had a whole lot of really ridiculous ideas of things he wanted to pull, which never were going to work and were definitely going to get him voted out. Which you would know, had you read or talked to other people before just cutting based on placement and past memory. As I've said a few places, I'm having computer problems and it's taking a lot longer to get it fixed than I had thought it would. I've had to use my backup computer and tablet so MS barely functions. Please don't just go back to not saying shit about people left just because you want to get things done, the people left all have character arcs and things to write about and talk about. Can we please still do that?

[xofelf]

Let it die

[xofelf]

Oh man, I don't know. I think we might be full up =/

[xofelf]

I mean, Shakira had some public stuff too. She was the other half of Julie's weirdness.

Funny you should say that...my computer is fixed now, so proper xof cuts are possible. I think I'll go do that here in a second.

263. Aragorn(Pizzadudes7) - Middle Earth

I hope to see everyone on the other side, and I am not playing my ring. I am tempted to, but I think I would rather walk out with an idol (again) than play it when I don't need to.

Most people who have played with Pizza before know that he can be a rather volatile and emotional player, prone to being exceptionally ragey and likely to let that get the better of him during a game. Aragorn was not that at all. He was a fairly decent and solid player. A bit boring tbh. He doesn't have a particularly interesting character or gameplay arc, but he's lasted this long because he didn't particularly do anything bad. He found the idol of the game even. But went home with it in his pocket at the first merge TC. You would think that since he was a part of the blue tribe and a good portion of them all lived to merge, he would have gotten farther, but he wasn't particularly liked by anybody who was still alive in merge. He let those people get voted out on him. In the Gold tribe he swaps over with Shadowfax who he thought he had an alliance with, but that was not really the case. Shadow was willing to target him and he could have gone home that first Gold TC. He ended up in between the greens and the reds who largely were sticking together because that's what early survivors were like. He was the swing deciding vote, and thought he was setting himself up to be in a good place come merge, but he was wrong. The leftover Golds were not in a good place and he got blindsided by his former original tribe. He could have changed what happened with the Gold tribe TCs because they were that close, but he didn't and it ultimately led to the end of his game because he let other people decide what happened instead of making sure what happened benefitted him. It's just a fairly typical siding with the wrong alliance story.

Lol, y'all are gonna have to wait til I'm in Austin and even then, probs not.

But I can bully you in person to make more cuts!

I will kick you in the shins, so help me. Don't you do this.

[xofelf]

Is such a thing even possible?
And fine Cody, I'll do it on your couch.

[xofelf]

Yes this is good. This was a snakes game that I only remember being snakes because it was a username joke. He was a good ally, but nothing super special. He made a great third.

Woah hold up there friend. Steve was a goddamn mess of a player. He traded away tribal immunity for inter-tribal diplomacy when our tribe was clearly in first place and allowed the other tribe to win instead for god only knows why? He would take control of challenges only to be the reason they were lost. He was abrasive and even his allies barely wanted anything to do with him other than as a beautiful scapegoat. There's a lot to say about him as a character, but the cut is solid.

[xofelf]

It can if I lock the thread. And at this point, I'm officially calling this super fucking dead and killing it forever cuz nah.

[xofelf]

Happy Scum Day Zito!

[xofelf]

But locking it again seems like so much effort
