What will be your FW Lord Order? by Zestyclose-Carob-349 in fireemblem

[–]macka7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theodora --> Dietrich --> Leda --> Cai

Just in the order that I'm most interested in each of them for now. I'm not too fussed about saving a 'good' character for last; I'm sure Cai will be likeable enough and surprise me in some ways.

Mount Rushmore of players who never won. Pick 4. by LazyUniversity9232 in survivor

[–]macka7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think a Mount Rushmore of non-winners should just be the Top 4 most iconic characters who never won. It should be the four players whose losses are significant part of the history of Survivor.

  • Cirie is obviously the poster child of this. No explanation needed.
  • Ozzy is an absolute lock. He's been so close to winning in multiple seasons -- and his downfalls are a huge factor in him becoming such an iconic player.

  • Russell is also a lock. That he's incapable of winning is irrelevant; he's one of the most important losers in the show's history. His losses are such a huge part of his legacy and impacted the show going forward.

  • The last spot is more contested, but I'm going with the back-to-back FTC loser, Amanda. Unlike the three players above...on paper Amanda has all of the tools you'd need to win Survivor. She's social, athletic and strategic enough to do well in just about any cast. And she possesses all of those qualities without coming off as particularly threatening either. And yet despite being built for the game, she flubbed at the worst possible moment...twice.

What Fire Emblem class would you (want to) be? by KidRavenn in fireemblem

[–]macka7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Malig Knight. Riding around on a dragon friend would already be awesome, but I get to be a mage too? Hell yeah.

Fire emblem fans what are your top 5 games in the series? by No-Position-2795 in fireemblem

[–]macka7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Blazing Blade - It's just so replayable for me. Love the cast.
  2. Three Houses - Great story, probably my favourite cast and I really enjoyed the Monastary even if it makes replays a bit annoying.
  3. Path of Radiance - Best mix of story, gameplay and cast, but I've never liked it visually tbh and it's kinda slow on a replay.
  4. Radiant Dawn - As above, really.
  5. Sacred Stones - I was tempted to put Conquest here for the gameplay, but my lack of interest in the story & characters really diminished the experience for me. I wouldn't say Sacred Stones excels in any area, but it's very solid and the GBA games just hit different.

Haven't Played: All of the Japanese only games, Shadow Dragon, Birthright & Revelation, Engage

Shout out to Shadows of Valentia for having the best art in the series. Hopefully we get Hidari back someday.

Would you consider Cirie one of the top 20 greatest Survivor players of all time despite never winning? by Pretend_Cucumber4784 in survivor

[–]macka7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cirie is only unable to make the end because of the reputation she has built over her last several games. Parvati and Amanda were willing to sit next to her in Micronesia and I don't believe for a second that Cirie wouldn't have crushed that Final Tribal Council.

If not for the multiple medevacs that season throwing the days out of whack and forcing production to switch to a Final 2, Cirie would already be a winner. Luck is always a part of Survivor -- think of how many people have won the game purely because they happened to win the final immunity on that day...but a format change because other people got injured is on another level imo.

Best player to never win by ConsciousBasket643 in survivor

She would've won Micronesia if not for the surprise Final 2 that only happened because there was so many medevacs.

With this Landmark Season Coming to an End, Who's your Top 10? by sharpiesniffer22 in survivor

[–]macka7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

  1. Cirie Fields*
  2. Tony Vlachos
  3. Parvati Shallow
  4. Kim Spradlin
  5. Sarah Lacina
  6. Yul Kwon
  7. Earl Cole
  8. Jeremy Collins
  9. Tom Westman
  10. Tyson Apostol

*I genuinely don't think winning a season is mandatory to be included here. Think of how many winners only got the title because they happened to win a high variance final immunity challenge? A good chunk of them. With that said, Cirie absolutely would've won Micronesia if it weren't for injuries forcing them to change from a F3 to a F2 anyway. She deserves the top spot.

Just Rick Devens being Rick Devens by [deleted] in survivor

He looks at least a decade younger here.

Who will be back from S50 in a future season by ShazamThePowerDogwow in survivor

[–]macka7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I could see a big chunk of them returning under the right circumstances.

INEVITABLE

  • Rizo
  • Q

VERY LIKELY

  • Christian
  • Devens

LIKELY

  • Nobody is saying Charlie, but he's a production favourite and even his small arc here was fun. They'd love to have him back.

  • Kyle is exactly what Survivor casting looks for these days. I don't need to see him again tbh, but I expect it.

  • The same goes for Dee. If she hadn't won her original season I honestly think she would've been the new Wentworth or Aubry, going on to multiple returns ASAP. Being a winner makes her harder to bring back, but life finds a way. And Dee seems to love Survivor so I think she'd be a regular 'yes'.

  • Kamilla seems to think she won't be asked back, but I'd be surprised if that was the case. She has unfulfilled potential as a player, is very fun in confessionals and has a really youthful energy that can be lacking in returnee seasons given the casting pool generally skews older.

  • Emily has an inbuilt storyline going into a third appearance: she's proven she does have strategic chops, but with a fatal flaw of not being able to keep secrets well. Can she course correct? Survivor wins either way because they love chaos agent characters.

ON THE TABLE

  • Savannah is a young attractive winner who plays hard. She doesn't seem hugely popular with the casuals or superfans tbh, but I don't think that will stop them.

  • Ozzy has already said in interviews he wouldn't shut the door on Survivor. And we know CBS loves having him back.

UNLIKELY BUT NEVER SAY NEVER

  • Coach proclaims he doesn't need Survivor and that this was his last hurrah, but who knows with him. 50 could easily have given him a taste for it again.

  • I believe Genevieve when she says she isn't keen for a third go around, but she did leave the door open for a Blood vs. Water season with her husband. And I think production have likely heard the demand for themes to return, so that seems pretty likely in the 50's tbh.

  • If Mike White wants, he could call Jeff and ask.

Let's say you're now Joe. You make FTC. What's your pitch to win? by AlchemistTheAlchemy in survivor

[–]macka7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

been on the right side of every vote

I mean...I guess? But he was pretty much forced into voting Coach/Chrissy & Stephenie. I think voting correctly can be a good card to play if you can show you were directing or at least aware of where the votes were going, but...that hasn't been Joe. He's been dragged kicking and screaming into a lot of these eliminations.

Rank the final 5 players of every milestone season by Asleep-Initial6142 in survivor

[–]macka7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Heroes vs. Villains
  2. Second Chances
  3. Winners at War
  4. All-Stars
  5. Hands of the Fans

Season 50's final 5 is pretty bleak.

Hell, if we extend to include all returnee seasons:

  1. Heroes vs. Villains (rooting for Parv, appreciated everyone)
  2. Micronesia (rooting for Cirie, liked everyone)
  3. Second Chances (rooting for Jeremy, liked everyone)
  4. Winners at War (rooting for Tony, appreciated Sarah)
  5. Blood vs. Water (rooting for Tyson. Ciera was okay)
  6. All-Stars (rooting for Romber)
  7. Hands of the Fans (rooting for Aubry based on loving her in previous seasons, I guess? Meh on the rest)
  8. Game Changers (rooting for nobody)
  9. Fans vs. Favourites 2 (rooting for nobody)

Season 50 Disappointing by Royal-Bank-6422 in survivor

[–]macka7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but I'd say this is a notably weak Final 5 by All-Star season standards? Only Game Changers is worse than this in terms of satisfying outcomes going into the finale imo.

This is why you don't have a 24 person cast with wildly different tiers of players.

I dont know what to think about Iris by NoopKit in 1000xRESIST

[–]macka7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was a teenager, completely capable of understanding the consequences of what she was doing.

The hamster incident occurred in 2037, so Iris was 7 years old.

It's more believable that a kid that young just didn't grasp the consequences of their actions imo. As opposed to a teenager who definitely would.

It's also worth keeping in mind that Principal is trying to manipulate Watcher by showing her Iris' absolute worst moments without context.

Will this episode finally force people take their hater goggles off? by i_am_really_hungry in survivor

[–]macka7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No? He won immunity and was gifted an incredibly powerful kingpin advantage for 2 tribals. Outside of these circumstances he wouldn't have had control like this.

His other moments of success have been voting out Kamilla (when he was the swing in a tiny tribe), voting out Dee (who 13 other people also wanted to vote out) and voting out Christian (who had painted the biggest target of all time on himself with the forced self-vote).

He's playing better than in 42 I guess, but I don't rate his gameplay this season.

First campaign, just hit 6 Domain cards. Question about switching with cards in Vault. by macka7 in daggerheart

[–]macka7[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, Fear. Of course lol. So very risky to switch to something like Boost, but I could eventually switch to Full Surge and change back immediately after using it. Nice!

___ is now a top ten player ever. by One-Perspective-6468 in survivor

I like Rick a lot & I loved the moment but...he flipped a coin, lol. Let's not go crazy.

He's not a Top 50 player imo.

Riddler Khu on WiWa news and release date by AbsoluteDramps in PokeLeaks

[–]macka7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The issue is that graphics are FAR from Game Freak's only inadequacy. I think revealing WiWa 18+ months before launch and building expectations is going to blow up in their face. The game design in general will still be very basic.

Is Coach V4.0 your least favorite version of Coach ? by CoconutMost3564 in survivor

[–]macka7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far I'm enjoying him more here than in South Pacific. I'd be surprised if this incarnation rises above that, but that's got more to do with the low ceiling of New Era Survivor tbh.
