Deeee

Fair.

WHY HAVE YOU NOT RESPONDED TO ME. :'( HAPPY YOU ARE HERE.

Symphonia has Sheena. Symphonia wins.

Definitely unique. Thousand Year Door was beyond robbed. I actually far prefer TYD to the original, which is why I'm okay if Paper Mario leaves in favor of SMW.

Super Mario World is the easy save here. Paper Mario is a tough loss, but yeah. SMW is one of the greatest games ever made.

Host Announcement Now that 24 hours have passed, the Randomizer has stepped in and picked nine nominations for Steven! Remember Steven, only one video game will advance. The other eight will be cut. Nominations: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii; 2007) Paper Mario (N64; 2000) Suikoden (multi-platform; 1995) Super Mario World (SNES; 1990) Super Street Fighter II: Turbo (multi-platform; 1994) Tales of the Abyss (PS2; 2005) Tales of Vesperia (X360; 2008) Twisted Metal (PS1; 1995) Vagrant Story (PS1; 2000)

Victoria is free to nominate nine games for Steven, if that was not clear. After 24 hours, the Randomizer will kick in. :flowers:

Popplio The Sea Lion Pokémon, Popplio is a Water-type Pokémon introduced to the series during Generation VII. One of the three Alolan starters, Popplio evolves into Brionne starting at Level 17, which evolves into Primarina starting at Level 37. Popplio is able to snort bubbles of water from its nose, which it uses as part of its battle strategy. On land, it uses the elasticity of its bubbles to perform acrobatic stunts and jumps. It practices daily with increasingly larger water bubbles. Popplio works very hard to create bigger water bubbles. Bless its heart. Popplio is such a cutie, but definitely my least favorite of the three Generation VII starters. Popplio uses Torrent as its starting ability and uses Liquid Voice as its hidden ability. Popplio is a male-dominant species with a Medium Slow leveling rate, and an EV yield of 1 Special Attack. Popplio has a base stat total of 320 - 40 Speed, 50 HP, 54 Attack/Defense, 56 Special Defense, and 66 Special Attack. Typical for a starter line. Popplio is weak to Grass and Electric Pokémon, and resistant to Steel, Fire, Water, and Ice Pokémon. A total of only four Water moves in its entire learnset. MEH. Popplio is very cute, but entirely uninteresting. This is more than a fair placement for Popplio.

Paula is pretty bad for a good while there, even if I do have a soft spot for her.

My thoughts exactly. But the Bananas era begins as well.

The Duel is one of the most beloved seasons of The Challenge ever. For good reason. I want to say so much but don’t want to hint at anything. UGH.

Host Announcement Check out the front page everybody! My format saving did us some wonders! All that was lost (potentially) are forty write-ups. Obviously the hyperlinks for the others no longer work, but they are there for remembrance sake. I do not remember the exact order of those forty-ish eliminations, but I do remember the two game entries eliminated right after Tom played his Power of Save! I did not manage to save the post with all of the character ability posts, but I still know what each of them do by memory and my own saved documents. I do not remember when they were all played last, so please refrain from using any character ability until all of the cuts are done for this level.

I'm glad to be able to give that to you.

I'll do Popplio!

Host Announcement Final Standings: 1. Steven (57 points) 2. Sola (56 points) 3. Rei (50 points) 4. Megan (46 points) 5. Tom (45 points) 6. Nico (15 points) 7. Victoria (10 points) Megan scored the highest on Part A of the exam, while Sola scored the highest on Part B of the exam. This will give them extra responsibility during this second part of the Level, along with Steven due to his win. Steven picked the nominating/cutting order for this round. But first, let me explain how the nominations/cuts will work. The ranker that placed directly above the cutting ranker (except for Steven - Victoria will nominate for him) will select a set of nominations for the cutting ranker. The cutting ranker will save only one video game from the selected list, and will be responsible for producing the write-ups for the other games. Feel free to help one another out with the write-ups! Here is the cutting order and nomination breakdown: 1. Steven --> Victoria selects nine nominations, Steven cuts eight 2. Nico --> Tom selects three nominations, Nico cuts two 3. Megan --> Rei selects six nominations, Megan cuts five 4. Victoria --> Nico selects two nominations, Victoria cuts one 5. Rei --> Sola selects six nominations, Rei cuts five 6. Tom --> Megan selects four nominations, Tom cuts three 7. Solaris --> Steven selects eight nominations, Sola cuts seven The first place rankers would earn seven cuts, and the last place ranker would earn one cut. The rankers that placed the highest overall and in each of the two parts of the exam earned an extra cut. A total of 31 games will be eliminated this Level and take us to the Top 120, with only two more levels to be played until the finals. If The Power of Restart is played at all during this round, the exam scores and rankings will not be affected. We will simply just redo the nominations/cuts from that point the ability is played!

The rapists I alluded to before...they are them. The rape occurs on an upcoming season off-camera. Tonya is the victim. There is a lot to read up on regarding the incident, but CGF summarized it above.

Steven - I typically send them in as I write them, so you'll definitely have some before Friday.
