post #122 contradicts the fact that Post #121 exists >_>
but I don't think that's going to cut it for #15. Still need something better.

I have this sinking suspicion that Mayo made a post somewhere on GameFAQs about the Star Wars movies in that horrendous order.

Okay, Mayo said he's counting this for #15 (Kefi's suggestion, but given that I created that topic I'm sure I would've found it myself too)

Found a better candidate for #15:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/955953-backyard-baseball-10/48812594 (2/3)

I think we should go with this to avoid potential controversy in case the tiebreaker comes down to question 15.

Even though we have Mayo's blessing on the answer Dream posted above, I think Scorpio might still have grounds for contesting the validity of that answer, as it doesn't really follow the same concept as shown in Mayo's example. (and outside the context of the topic, the posts really do not contradict each other).

^ Maybe. Anyone else have opinions on that?

And hey, look what I found for #11:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/400-current-events/71079902 (post 9)

It's not going to work, but if we find nothing else it can at least fill in a blank space. >_>

If we submit that, maybe Mayo won't notice the time >_>

I've been looking on and off today, and I'm not confident that 11 actually exists. No one legitimately has that opinion, and it's too insane to randomly pop up.

Oh come on! (It's the exact opposite of what we want)

Goddammit, first time I see a list starting by 2 > 6 and then the rest aren't in order.

So I guess Baruch, Cody, and Kirby can just submit what I have in Post #101 (with the possible swapping of Kefi's suggestion for #15 and with the possible inclusion of my CE topic that won't really work for #11).

Edit: Deadline in 9 hours, so don't wait too long to submit.

They managed to get 12, I wouldn't dismiss them that quickly.


1 down, 3 to go.

Exactly what I was thinking.

And Baruch, I'm not dismissing them as a team Gemini will beat no matter what, but it does seem like most of the time Gemini can beat Scorpio if we put in a lot of effort.

Sorry, been away from my computer for a while. You can take it if you'd like, Kirby.

Were we planning hapex + cocainius?

I mean, at this point we're basically on 2 distinct teams so it might not immediately matter too much who I pick... guess these are sort of leftover grudges from earlier in the game.

I can see Gemini going F4 at this point. I'm like 65% sure that's going to happen.

Scorpio elimination order might not be that important, but if we're playing for the Gemini win already then maybe eliminating the biggest win threats first is best. Like get rid of the people who'd have the best chance of beating a Gemini in the F2. I think that order is roughly Hapex (cause he can talk about how he got so far without TES1 history), Coc (cause he got me out.. and the jury might not properly consider that I'd probably be gone in the next few weeks anyway), Swift (cause he named Chimera and helped form it a bit), and Auron (no offense auron.. at least you tried in the beginning, getting your friends to join).

But whatever.

Cocanius/Hapex sounds good to me.

Well I guess Hapex is staying this week.

So for a few hours I had respect for Hapex that he pulled off a challenge win when he needed it (like Mannequin did a couple weeks ago). But now that he's quitting (he can call it "conceding", but it's still quitting), he reminds me more of Waffle... except he actually quit probably a good 100 days into a game after Waffle did, if not more.

Disappointing.

So now TES2 isn't just about waiting for challenges to end but also waiting a few days for no apparent reason for the hosts to even decide to continue the game.

(Yes, there were a couple times TES1 paused for days outside of challenges and stuff, but the ones I remember were due to trying to get people's schedules lined up for a live game.)
