 BIG HAND This is it! The BIG HAND- can only hope that my big hands shape these last two votes to my liking. You hear that GOAL music? It's coming, it's coming! Deadly curves and swirves, the final push. 3… 2… 1… GO!!!ON SENDING SQUIRTLE OUTSo looks like Squirt actually was with me- which sucks. However, based on the info I had, I had decent reason to believe he’d be a shrewed player that puts himself first. I really feel bad there- love ya Bluey. But it's what my gut was telling me. ON TONIGHTKinda just flying by the seat of my pants at this point. Hope for the best. If I randomly win that SHIELD bid I will cackle. But that’d be a miracle. Don't even really mind who goes in- Yosh vs Falc might even be good. But Falc always just stubbornly votes for me. ON FINAL FOUR SCENARIOSI need Falc out. He’s the one really gunning for me no matter what. Also Yosh being immune will be very tricky. Gonna have to really play around that. If Falc is there, not much I can do. Maybe my 25 ATTACK bid will come through and I'll win. Here we go. It’s a A RACE TO THE FINISH! But we all know who’s fastest.  |

I think I just ended my game by not switching to Yosh there. If I win this SHIELD bid, Wario is sending me in lol.

Awkward at hoping I don't get SHEILD now. But that'd be way too tempting to Wario, especially with Falc in his ear.

Well, it was too good to be true that Wario would sit with an immune me all the way to 4.  Ready to meet my fate! |

Well, I tried it. Not gonna say this ain't in SOME little way a relief, cos as fun as this been, my exhaust pipe is BURNT OUT. Not having to be in the zone all the way through Sunday, I ain't gonna complain about that. I put in a good innings here, acted like a maniac these past few rounds, was fun. If I bow out now, can't complain about the journey I've had. And god help me if this ain't the only game I play this year, putting it in writing now. YEAR OFF!
I was shooting for the stars and probably should'a cooled my jets, made peace that I was always gonna duel at some point, and worked with that, not against it. Squirt move, mistake? Guess so, womp womp. But I'll maintain that, my gut ever since the BLUE tiebreaker and being all the way out of the loop-de-loop there, was that he'd send me in at some point. Maybe communication could have changed that, and had I spoken my fears he'd have assured me we were good. But- it is what it is. Either way, I probably end up in this position, I did what I could to avoid it for as long as I could, but it does catch up to ya. Only regret is not voting Yosh and taking him down here, cos I'd have more options at 4 had I won this.
If I lose, it's a pretty decently competitive Final 4, and even though Cap n' Bluey don't win, Wario and Falc, can't be mad at their games. And of course there's Kaz, I'd give him my vote if he makes it, cos he's been my buddy all the way. Even Yosh with his out the box strategy- probs not.
If I win, I am 4th lol. Maybe small chance Falc and Wario aim for each other, but in a gauntlet I stand no chance if I'm going in. So I'll work my butt off to make sure I don't, but it probably won't work. If that is me, I won't need two nights, I'll fail quickly, so don't worry about keeping that one night. For whatever reason I read it has final ATTACK bid picks one stage- guess there's solace in knowing that I was gonna be losing in a gauntlet regardless.

At least I get to send Kaz The World II  I hope he perks up here cos I don't want him sour n' dour if he makes it. He's gotta fight. |

I guess I have a chance here, Magicant was one of my good ones. I will fuck it up though. And a Falc vs Wario duel ain't off the cards. It'll be very delicate, but not impossible. In that scenario- the one of them that squeaks by without duelling, probably wins, cos it's such a jewel in the cap for different reasons. Falc for squeaking through endgame which'd be eaten up by the pinks, Wario for never duelling all through merge. Me avoiding that F4 not only gives me a nice boost for the ol' case, but also... yeah, I'm not getting there otherwise. One challenge can maybe squeeze it out, Gauntlet? Lol nah. If option c) win gauntlet WAS a possibility- I'd wanna face Wario because I do actually think his case is probably better. Maybe Falc wins anyways, but up against Wario in FTC, the bastard outplayed me this round. He did. I'd have to talk around that. Falc has been doing his thing but I have just had way more influence than him, from my perspective anyways. So more of a point of difference, even if he does scoop up all of the pinks. Why am I even going through all this when I am not even through this duel and probably won't be.  THE CAPTAIN is pure chaotic energy. I feel like some whacked out coke head in a Safdie brothers movie trying to worm my way out of every situation, never taking no for an answer, shamelessly throwing any kinda shit at the wall hoping something sticks, as my world collapses down around me. The main character from Good Time, basically. Gonna get some sleep and get my eyes rested for Magicant in the morning. |

Can I ask some random questions about the duel? Sure. Don't know if we'll be able to answer them all but gotta ask to find out. |

Can I ask some random questions about the duel? Yes! How much I can answer them is another story of course |

Which characters won't be used- just so I can scrub them off my list. Jk. This is what I was going to ask: How picky will you be with names. E.g. sakurai / cfalc / falc / ddd / yosh / krool / plant etc - would that all be accepted? Can I submit a list as many times as I like within the fifteen minutes? (assuming either submitting a list with like 1-10, or in individual posts, is both fine). And then I re-read the thread and it answered both questions. So maybe just like this to confirm this is all on the right track. Sorry, I wanna be real well set-up before I attempt this. One more thing- if we tie I'm guessing it is whoever was fastest to submit? I'm worried that caveat is not listed because this is going to be very hard and so that is unlikely. |

For names I'll judge based on intent; if it's clear and unambiguous as to what you mean, you'll get the point. In a tie, it will be fastest to reach that score. |
