I can't wait until stupid James shows up so I can stop caring about this thread. *cries*

94. Michelle - Cassidy666 (Pearl Islands Redux)

Michelle makes it this high in the ranking purely because I can appreciate her game play in Pearl Islands and I wanted to acknowledge that she was a good winner. She found herself an incredibly loyal goat and managed to slide through the merge despite always being the #1 Drake target after Sandra left. It seems she had a decent social game, she just never showed it to me. She correctly identified me as a ruthless player who could not be trusted, and she acted accordingly. We didn't have real strategic conversation until we moved into the end game, and by that point, it didn't mean much because we were both playing to get to the F2 with our easy win ally. Ultimately, she was more successful than I was, convincing Ryan S to make the mistake of taking her to the Final 2 over the surefire win in Christa. And despite me actually working with Ryan S throughout the game, for reasons I already mentioned in my very first write-up in this thread, I chose to reward Michelle with the win. If only she had been the one who had hosed Lill at F5 rather than the otherwise useless Christa, Michelle would have been a very complete player.

93. Brianna - YemaGrl1988 (Stranded: Aruba)

I kinda liked Brianna. Yeah, she was a pre-swap boot in Aruba, solely because I decided it was her time to go. But it wasn't anything personal, it was just her not fitting as well into my plans as the other members of the tribe. If I had known Rafe would end up being such a major headache, I would have booted his ass and taken Brianna into the merge in his place. But that's not what happened, and Brianna ended up getting her second chance in Peru, so I don't feel too bad. She makes it this far in the ranking because she didn't really do anything wrong. She was generally nice and she was convinced she was much closer to me than I considered her to be. Apparently the feeling I got that she was the least reliable of my tribe mates was unjustified. Oh, and I always thought her random bitchy confessionals in the fanfic were cute. I mean, totally forced and a completely inaccurate representation of her role in the game, but at least they made her a more interesting character to edit than some other people in the cast.

92. T-Basco - louie77 (The Nightclub)

So apparently this was my epic reuniting with Louie, our first chance to work together since Double Trouble. Alas, I was playing as RoboSynn, and that meant I wasn't able to form real relationships with the players in this game, Louie included. But that doesn't mean I wasn't able to appreciate T-Basco as a generally likable, if pretty low-key, guy. Chances are we would have gotten along pretty well if I wasn't playing with that ridiculous schtick. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be. He still made it further than he probably should have, considering how UTR he was. He lucked out with the inactives and obvious boots that came before him.

91. Ace - smokeitgood (Gabon)

Ace was kinda an asshole, but I liked him anyway. He was the one of the players who was unafraid to bitch about the challenges alongside whiny Charlie, and sometimes his being a douchebag was pretty funny. Unlike Corrine, who was just annoying, Ace managed to be amusing with his villainous demeanor and nasty attitude. I wish he had made it further in the game, I might have followed along more. His character reminds me a bit of Jaws, except less of a dick to me and more accepting of his demise.

90. Jaye - Quiddity (Double Trouble)

How the hell did Jaye make it this far? I'm not entirely sure.

I suppose it's because Jaye was nice, if quiet, and I felt bad for her in the beginning of the game. She was paired up with an awful partner whose inactivity got her sent to the elimination room in the first round. He then proceeded to show up and attempt to win the challenge in order to save himself and get her booted. If Jaye had left in that first round, it would have been incredibly tragic, but fortunately she survived and managed to scrape through for a while before finally leaving right before the game started getting dirty. I seem to remember Jaye constantly being a target, or constantly being close to elimination, something like that. I don't know, but she was nice and she deserved better treatment than she got. And Quid, I'm sorry for being partially responsible for your first game being such a train wreck. I remember Jaye had this epic jury speech typed up (which she even sought help for in LTS in a thread I actually responded to after I realized she must be a DT juror) and then my F2 disqualification prevented her from ever posting it. Oh well, Jaye's just another tragic (and tragically forgotten) participant in that mess of a game.

89. Kiddy Kong - Unruly Discharge (Bowser's Castle)

Kiddy was the one Kong in Bowser's Castle who I was not aligned with and yet didn't launch a crusade against in the first few rounds of the game. It's partially because he became Lanky's lackey, but also because I actually liked him and his posts that truly registered like a baby gorilla's. He was almost cute with his lack of effort and pretty unique way of posting. I can't even describe it, but I just always found it very fitting for the character. Kiddy also spent most of the game as the ultimate mercenary, aligning with whoever had the power in any given round. It carried him all the way into the end of the game along with other Kongs who didn't really do much, and I was glad to see him win, considering his final competition. I remember when he emerged at the end of the game with all these challenge wins after sucking royally in them for most of the ORG (and always calling attention to the fact). It's tough to describe Kiddy, but there was just something endearing about him. Even if this was, like, UD's eighth win within the span of a month.

88. Flamz - NickF227 (The Nightclub)

Flamz was alright. I got along pretty well with him and all. His mistake was breaking the strict terms of his contractual agreement with Synn by not selecting her to be a Bouncer. Obviously he didn't take her seriously (or lacked reading comprehension), and he paid for the price. Synn launched a vicious campaign against him, and while he survived her pursuits because the cast was pretty stupid and unwilling to think outside the box, his attempts to fade into the background following her departure apparently resulted in his eviction. For that, Flamz, I'm sorry. I always intended to jump down someone's throat the second they failed to oblige by my alliance rules, especially once I realized it was going to become incredibly boring to just follow the terms I had set with everyone. You were the first person to present me the opportunity, and I took it hardcore. It sunk you, and that sucks for you. But I can't feel too much pity. You should have seen it coming, although perhaps not to the extremes I took it.

Anyway, like I said, Flamz was a decent character. A tad bit dull, but a nice nemesis and a strong player that was really screwed by my wacky gimmick.

87. Mystique - Unruly Discharge (Omni-Survivor)

Mystique was kinda blah throughout most of Genosha, mostly because UD didn't give a shit and wasn't putting much effort into the game. It honestly kinda annoyed me that he managed to slide so far without doing anything, but hey, I had my chances to take him out and I never followed through, so I'm as much to blame as anyone else. Basically, Mystique makes it this far in the ranking simply because I knew he was UD after awhile and once that came out into the open, we were able to work together without having really established a relationship prior to that point. Of course, our alliance wasn't that strong, as we turned against each other at the F4 and both tried to get the other eliminated. Mystique won out and made it into the Final 2 as a goat, despite facing one of the worst social players in the entire game. I don't know, I guess it's just hard to separate Mystique from UD himself, since I spent the latter portion of the game knowing they were one and the same. Mystique was a pretty disappointing character and player, but I'm glad she was there rather than someone else, considering I needed her support and loyalty to the Horsemen (although she didn't know the Horsemen existed). Thanks for covering my ass, babe.

86. Gary - MasterDarkNinja (Guatemala Redux)

Gary was an interesting player. I'm not sure anything about our relationship was real, but maybe that's what made him so intriguing to me. Don't really know why I ranked him so high, but I guess this is pretty appropriate for a player who I was never able to get a real read on. He took advantage of Blake's antics better than most of the people on his tribe and apparently played a big part in Yaxha's pre-swap dynamics. But he was a mystery to me, someone I was never able to wreak havoc on. Don't have too much to say, since I only lasted two rounds in the game and was never on the same tribe as the guy, for crying out loud.

85. Rose - Unruly Discharge (Vertigo)

Wow, a lot of UD in this update. Anyway, I liked Rose quite a bit. In fact, the only reason she's this low is the fact that she's from Vertigo, and Danielle didn't exactly have a whole lot of time to get to know people. But yeah, Rose was somewhat amusing on the public boards, and more importantly, she was really nice to me. I totally thought she would be my savior (more so than Sawyer would be), and I was a bit taken back when she didn't choose me in the tribal pick 'em. That disappointed me, but oh well, I still have fond memories of the woman, and I was rooting for her as she made the end game. She got dirtier and more vicious as time went on (a UD trademark), but I always remembered her as the sweet woman who helped me feel a little more welcome at the outset of the game. Had I made it further, we totally could have had an epic mother/daughter relationship.
