Week 27-2 & Week 28 for some reason; Bad Box Art & some other subtitle

1. Okay so in the middle of the box you see what looks like the four main characters. Two guys in the middle nad two girls on the sides. The guy that appears to be the leader is holding some green glowing needle thingy, but he's holding it like he's Yugioh getting ready to play his game changing card. Because apparently this game is about awkwardly holding things, his buddy next to him has his hand on his hat but his hand is so oddly but instead of grabbing it so that his arm goes to the side like a normal person he has his arm in front of his face. And his fingers are so spread out on the hat that it looks like he's doing an impression of Crazy Hand. Anyway, behind them is this guy that looks like a nerdy M Bison, and a bunch of robots. There's also a big fortress looking building with cannons coming out of it. It's possibly the factory where the robots are coming from. To the right is a menacing looking guy holding a matryoshka doll, except he's not actually holding it because it's floating. It's far away enough from his hand that I'm pretty sure it's intentional, so he's probably telekinetic. In the bottom right is this weird looking unicorn dude. In the top left is the logo associated with the entire series. There's a pentagram with an iron cross in the middle of it, some letters I can't say because they would be too big of a clue, a Jesus fish, and the top half of a heart that's been closed off.

2. In the bottom right is a guy holding a thermometer and a clipboard. The background shows a bunch of red, blue, and yellow circles and ovals that are half of one color and half of another. There's also these three gremlin looking dudes. The red one has devil horns and is missing his middle teeth. He's possibly also missing an eye, or he's winking. The blue guy has rabbit ears, and one of his teeth is significantly longer than the other. The yellow one has Sorry pieces for ears, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with his teeth. He seems to like showing them off though.

3. This cover isn't centered very well, because there's a lot of empty black space and half of a clown's face.

4. These three shirtless dudes are looking to start fighting you. The bald guy in the middle apparently can't wait because he's actually currently throwing a punch. It's meant to look like he's punching through the cover and at the viewer, but the effect is kinda ruined by the fact that words are overlayed on top of the art.

5. There's a green grassy field with a red sword sticking out of it. The majority of the art though is in the sky. Over the clouds is this big blue robot thing with glowing red eyes.

6. The two main characters are in the front. Behind them is a big number 2. (Not the s*** kind. Like, literally a 2) And behind that is a guy trying to destroy it.

7. This guy with a spiky green mohawk and a sleeveless shirt with the British flag is holding something in his hands. His legs are spread out all the way across the cover. There's some bright lights in the background that are causing glares. There's a lot of fake writing on the right side, but there is one part that clearly says "Earbleed."

8. This yellow guy is throwing a chain link arrowhead at this blue guy that's getting a Kamehameha from DBZ ready. There's also a dragon in the background.

9. There's this big purple guy, this little green guy with a gun, this grey and white guy with long ears, and a guy that looks like Michael Jordan.

10. There's this guy in a purple shirt with the number 11 holding a ball. In the top left is the title character.

11. This guy and girl are resting up against the title of the game. The guy has a drink in his hand.

12. Three kids are running up a staircase in the clouds. There's a giant book opening. There's either something screwy going on with the perspective, or things just aren't the right size. This cover also shows a lion, a blue whale, a couple of roman warrior guys, and a ship, and with the exception of one of the two roman guys they're all about the same size, and all are smaller than that damn book.

13. This guy is absolutely surrounded by enemies. An entire arena full of them. One of the enemies looks like a Lego guy in a tux. All he's got to defend himself is a poorly constructed staff with chainsaws on the ends of it.

14. Two arms are forming a circle. The arm on top is blue and followed by some fairy looking things. The arm on the bottom is red and has some dragon looking things.

15. A bunch of characters are lined up. From left to right: guy and girl about to make out, guy that's trying way too hard to not stare at the couple, Sigmund Freud, some red headed guy, some blonde girl, Will Smith's character from Men in Black, some chick practicing martial arts, and the alien that's with Will Smith.

I guess I should see if I can help Cody at some point. Deadline is roughly 26.5 hours away.

It's just that I know helping Cody has a chance of hurting the rest of you if you guys can't convince Scorpio or Taurus to turn on the other. But now that they see how easy it is to win at least 1 of 2 comps against Gemini, maybe Scorpio would be willing to vote out 1 instance of Lucky. It may be worth a shot and so it may be worth my helping Cody. (although I don't honestly know if I'll be able to get any of the covers or not anyway.. does anyone have any yet?)

Here's what I could get:

(1) Fallout: New Vegas
(2) ?
(3) Wheel of Fortune
(4) Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
(5) ?
(6) ?
(7) (makes me think of Mario or Wreck-It Ralph, but I can't find a matching cover)
(8) LEGO Batman: The Videogame
(9) ?
(10) ?

Oddly enough, when I was looking for the yellow character I accidentally found another cover:

(7) The Simpsons Wrestling

I tried Spongebob for the yellow one, but that didn't work. I should also comment that the type of thing you have to search to try to find that cover isn't the best thing to put into a google image search.

For the Brady Bunch one, every time I try searching for it I just get GTA stuff, Megaman stuff, and Brady Bunch stuff. It doesn't seem to be GTA based on the covers I've looked at, and Megaman definitely wouldn't have a woman in a tank top.

Oh... I guess that was more obvious than I thought, had I considered that that picture would've counted as pikachu covering his nipples. Mayo was very misleading with that one.

P.S. Didn't Mayo already use that game earlier in TES2 for a cover?

I dunno, it doesn't fit a lot of the description (not mirrored, no eyes in the sky, sword infront/behind title) but mayo did say some parts of the description would be outright incorrect, so maybe that's it?

I think if it's missing the eyes it can't be right. But if you don't get anything else, then of course put it just in case.

How much longer before the deadline will you be on, cody?

I'll probably be around right up until the deadline, although to be safe I'll say until around 30 minutes before for sure.

So apparently it was "Shining Force 2". I don't think I would've gotten that anytime soon.

Regardless, Cody won 9 to 7, so congrats! :D

Now let's see if you guys can pull a miracle and save Rob and Kirby. I'd personally recommend a Lucky nomination and then appeal to Scorpio that Gemini can clearly be beaten at least once out of the 2 comps most weeks so it's better to get rid of Lucky now while they can instead of waiting til he controls a large proportion of all remaining players.

Edit: Also, look for special powers obviously. Those could do the trick too. But Mayo and Machete haven't been great at including those in the game.

our only chance is if we manage to get Scorpio to vote against Taurus, by convincing them that Scorpio has a better chance later if we knock Taurus down a peg.

for that to happen, you need to present a target that they'd feel is big enough that the soursed relations between them would still be worth it.
but also someone who doesn't already hold all the power on both teams

Dragon may be a good idea. Scorpio may dislike the power lucky holds, so it could be justifiable in their eyes to get Dragon eliminated (seeing how Scorpio knows that it would be very difficult for Taurus to ditch them and rejoin us).

Not just "difficult". Taurus wouldn't even want to. They'd still see the 5 Gemini as a bigger threat than the 4 Scorpio.

In fact, they may ironically be MORE likely to work with Scorpio next week if Scorpio betrays them, since they won't be able to afford voting out a Scorpio next (since they'd need to vote out a Gemini to keep the non-Gemini numbers high).

Cool. How long do you think Rob and Kirby should wait to post their speeches? Should they wait awhile to try to get Scorpio to vote Dragon, or is there some reason it would be better for them to post immediately?

We're probably going to be waiting a while for Dragon, so I'm not sure it would matter.

I recently sent PMs to Auron, Cocainius, and Swift. Basically the same PM to all 3. Hopefully they will vote out Dragon, but I'd put it at a less than 50% chance.

I'm not sure what else we could do in terms of changing their mind, so there's likely not much point in you guys waiting much longer to make your speeches. Kirby will be around awhile after Rob due to time zones, so maybe Rob can make his speech sometime before he goes to sleep and Kirby can make his speech sometime thereafter.

What do you think are the chances we could just get 2 of the Scorpio votes on our side (meaning we put 4 votes on Dragon) and then get the rest of Scorpio and all of Taurus to decide to split their votes 3-2 in some fashion?

...

Somewhere between 0.001 and -1000, right?

I do think this was a bad move on Scorpio's part but not so bad that I'd call them idiots. There's still enough numbers for them to turn on Lucky this new week or possibly even next week; it's just a bit riskier.

Now the teams stand 5-4-4 with Taurus in the lead. Wow... in Week 1 or 2 I would've never thought I'd say the words "Taurus in the lead" with respect to team size. That's so crazy... But my point is maybe you guys will have better luck bringing it down to 4-4-4 this week. I'm annoyed enough that I'm tempted to say "Just go straight for Lucky", but it might unfortunately still be the case that targeting Dragon or FvP has a better chance of success.

Actually, if Gemini wins overlord I think it would be hilarious for you guys to nominate Lucky, Lucky, and Lucky. Please do that.

Does anyone have Super Smash on the 3DS to try out some possibilities for Machete's new challenge?

Also this may be useful: http://supersmashbros.wikia.com/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence


And this: http://challonge.com/Smash3DSCPU


So yeah, I think I'll go with Lucario if he's able to wreck top tiers (Meta Knight, Sonic, Greninja, Robin). Though Palutena and Rosalina kind of scare me.
