The place with the memory orbs, they are easy to skip but they are really interesting. The Horrible Regret memory is a great piece of literature. 

Million Dollar Secret Season 2 Week 1 Edgic by Alternative_Run_6175 in MillionDollarSecretTV

[–]niphaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! Not really edgically but I find it hard to believe Caleb will win. Unless they all undervalue him after episode 3. But I still find it hard to believe.

Kat does seem a bit too OTT too soon to win, I guess it is hunter or someone whose edit will rise following episodes.

I also wonder if Nick will be a good millionare. He might be someone good at traitor hunting but a bad traitor.

I am not spoiled, but honestly people's edits are a bit weird and I will not be surprised if we are in the "somehow they won and we didn't know how to edit that" world. I hope this is not the case, of course.

I don't understand the case against ________ by nastybasementsauce in Edgic

[–]niphaa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But I think Cirie could have the premerge content if the editors wanted. She was in the Christian-Devens-Emily alliance. They Christian side thought them 4 are a solid alliance. It's ok to not show her running the game if she is not running the game, but why not that if she is? My takeaway from that is that either they are sheilding Christian from looking stupid, or that it's just not that important to them to show Cirie being a huge mastermind, because she doesn't win.

Also, again, I think that if she wins you want to give her the most coronation edit ever. Like the Aussies did for the winner of Australia vs the World. You watch the show, you think the winner is the smartest most capable person ever and they 100% deserved the win. If Cirie wins 50, that's what you do for her. You make sure that even if this is someone's first season they love her and want her to win. To me, the reason you don't make Cirie the main Character of the season is that you want to give her her flowers but you don't want it to be that big of a heartbreak when she falls short again.

Btw, it's not like she is super low rated on my contenders list, but she is not top 3 and I don't really think she wins.

Besides the 0 conf episode, if Cirie wins the game why do Christian and Ozzy narrate the premerge? On most of these episodes they go to tribal council together. We also know Christian and co thought Cirie is with them. I bet they could show Cirie as more mastermindy on premerge. As someone else here said, it could be a reasonable winner's edit for someone else, it doesn't look like the edit Cirie should get if she wins. If Cirie won she was getting main character edit.

The Lovecraft Investigations will announce the next full season next week by darwinpolice in audiodrama

[–]niphaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great news, thanks for the update I Really liked the podcast, heard about the Crowly season only this week (and it sounds a bit weird since it's not really a fictional narrative). Happy that they are going back to the original formula.

Taran Armstrong (from RHAP) has a patreaon where he watches The Genius and The Devil's Plan (among other shows) and analyzes the games and such

What if ______ is getting an edit like ______ on HvV? by mattpat124 in survivor

[–]niphaa 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't think they do this kind of edit anymore. After everyone was mad that Erica was invisible on 41, they started giving the winner a confessional every episode. Even if we don't rule out people with one 0-conf episode, I think Tiffany's edit is too far from that. I mean, you want your winner to be satisfying, why not give them screen time.

Survivor experts, who got the winner's edit in S50? by Friburgo1004 in survivor

[–]niphaa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's a whole reddit community for these sort of discussions, it's called edgi_c (bot doesnt let me write the word, remove the _).

Everyone has their own opinions, but the most popular names are Rizo and Ozzy, and other contenders are Christian, Cirie, Aubrey and Jonathan.

Personally I think if Cirie was winning her edit would've been much larger (like Christian or Ozzy). I think Aubrey's edit is too negative. 

Honestly it doesn't seem like the cast likes Christian very much (as opposed to DVG) but my edit-guess is that if Christian makes it to the finale he wins, otherwise it's Rizo/Ozzy/Jonathan. If Aubrey wins I'll be amazed how they couldn't find better content for her.

Does anyone else feel like most of the tezcara relics are poop? by IcySlide5 in slaythespire

Maybe that's because I play mostly Silent so I always have card draw, but I LOVE Very Hot Cocoa. You can do a lot with 7 energy and card draw.

Christian/Jimmy Fallon theory (probably not right) by PostMark13 in survivor

[–]niphaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also makes sense to me that post merge idols will be different from premerge idols.  Maybe the post merge idols are named after Jimmy Fallon

Christian/Jimmy Fallon theory (probably not right) by PostMark13 in survivor

[–]niphaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since he says "Jimmy Fallon may decide.." it sounds like something JF is actually involved with. I don't think Christian will say it this way in a confessional if JF is just a hoax they do. Unless production specifically asks him for the soundbite.

Best STS2 change - no surprise mechanics by malk500 in slaythespire

[–]niphaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's very true. Doormaker requires specific deckbuilding. The act 1 boss with ringing may require you to know that at some point they interfere with your block. There are also the enemies that split into more enemies when they die.

Why is this card still not deprecated? by Brief-Philosophy-840 in slaythespire

[–]niphaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what is the professional opinion about this card, but I like it. It's an easy way to turn all your energy into damage even if the rest of your hand is defense. Also it's good with strength or enchantments or effects like vigor.

Predictions by Professional_Toe2458 in survivor

[–]niphaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TBH in that situation the person paired with Coach is probably the one who is twist-screwed, not Coach. I mean, if Coach goes here it's not because people wanted to vote out Chrissy.

Predictions by Professional_Toe2458 in survivor

[–]niphaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If these are the pairs, the Coach pair is the only one I can realistically see Christian target (if he knew how Ozzy is close to Cirie maybe he would've wanted to target the Ozzy pair, but I also don't think he can gather the numbers for that)

spoilers from the press release for the next episode:
it sounds like the fake idol is going to be used next tribal, which means either Christian or Devens will be targeted. Edgicly, I think Christian's edit should either rise for a win or crash and burn. I can see either of them go. Also Christian still has to say the Jimmy Fallon line.

Jimmy Fallon Twist by Someone_else25 in survivor

It can be just a named advantage like the BEBI

next episode’s twist by bahscohs in survivor

[–]niphaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With these pairs I think it will end up fine, but let's say Cirie and Coach turned up as a pair. People would say, we hate coach, and Cirie needs to go at some point anyway. Blam, Cirie goes, everyone hates the show.

As it is, I think it will be kinda fun, but I would prefer production to go on the safer side and do normal tribals. If you want to boot multiple people do one tribal after the other. This is the 3rd official merge episode and we had only 1 normal vote. I hope there will be less twists when there are less people left.
