This is cutting it a little bit close to the start so you all probably won't get a chance to share your thoughts, but if you do it within like a day of the start or something it will sill probably count.

[align=center]VACATIONERS

Carl - Sasquatch

I know nothing of Sasquatch. I know that he has hosted several games in the Aussie time zone on Pro Boards, but that's about it. I'm not sure if he's ever played in a GTS/ORGY based game, because if he has I can't think of it. He was apathetic towards his character choice and is only playing as Carl because that was the last unclaimed character. Ultimately, I am not expecting too much from him.

Destynee - KMKinCB

KMK is very hit and miss when it comes to characters. I've seen/heard him be some very great characters, and I've seen/heard him be some pretty shitty ones. I'm going to be optimistic with him here, since Destynee is a pretty good character that I think KMK will have a lot of fun with. I just HOPE he avoids doing the really obvious and really cliched ghetto diva shtick that Destynee seems to be begging for. I have high hopes for him, but I am also a bit cautious.

Ellie - Morrisbored

morris was amazing in Sacred Heart as Denise, and from what I can tell, he has been amazing in every other game he has played since them. Ellie was his first choice of character, so he is really excited to play as her. I could actually feel the excitement in his typing when I was PMing him the other day, so I know that he is stoked to play as Ellie and I really, really looking forward to seeing what he can do with her. Ellie will be a star, for sure. Along with Farns, morris is one of only two people on this tribe who have played in an IANCDP game before, and I think that will certainly play to morris's advantage.

Farah - Kyle

I don't know what to think about this. Kyle is amazing, that really goes without saying, but he was pretty much given Farah as opposed to choosing her and that could potentially result in him not really caring about her as a character. I hope he does, because I think Kyle has the potential to really do something great with her.

Glenn - spragenspelt

Glen is probably the worst character in the game lol. He was necessary but I am not surprised that not very many people wanted to play as him. spragenspelt has played in one game only, and that was BW7. Despite cohosting this, I don't really know much about him as a player. I think he was interesting, but I honestly do not remember. Since Glen is such a goofy character, I really can't say that my expectations are high, but that's because of Glen and not because of sprag. If he can turn Glen in something memorable I will be very impressed.

Kendall - midnight problay

Kendall will most likely be one of the two or three best characters of the season. This type of character, the good looking, strong female characters are right in MP's wheel house and I am expecting great things from her. Additionally, the format bodes well for Kendall to succeed, since MP is a social and challenge threat and this game pretty much revolves around that.

Madison - FarnsworthFan

EXTREMELY excited for this. Madison is the best character in the game and I think Farns will do an amazing job with her. I hope he doesn't make her too obvious so that she can have some complexity, but even if she is too obvious I still think she'll be a great character. It's interesting here to note that Farns returning as a player marks the first time in my series' history that a previous winner has returned to try their luck again. Since it's closed ID, it's not really a Sandra situation, but it will still be interesting to see how well he performs. This is his third IANCDP game, and he finished 8/16 and 1/18 in the first two. If he makes it deepish he has the chance to become the single most successful player in my games' history.

Marquon - super pole 2000

No idea what to expect out of this. I have heard nothing but good things about super pole, so I think he should be able to do a decent Marquon. My only concern is the fact that Marquons a pretty good character, and I think if he doesn't live up to that expectation he will leave a LOT to be desired. So let's just say that I am cautiously optimistic.

Preston - Merely

The Preston/Madison relationship will probably be the best one in the game, and I am excited to see what Merely does with this character. I don't have a ton of experience with Merely, but from what I know, he can play a good character if he gets lucky and I'm thinking he'll get lucky with this. Preston should be fun to watch.

Quinlan - Soladrian

Soladrian was great in Stranded, but Quinlan is kind of a dud of a character. I think Quinlan will be very MOR. But, Soladrian is a good player, he played my ass twice in Stranded and I like to call myself unblindsidable, so I am expecting him to have relatively decent success in this game as well.

Rico - Gnarls

Rico will be fucking hilarious. That's really all that needs to be said.

Zzy - unduli

unduli is a god and I'm glad that a character like Zzy is being played by someone who I KNOW can play a character well. I've seen unduli play twice. The first time, he fucking dominated EVERYTHING until the F5 when I blindsided him. The second time, he won and was the obvious winner from like the third or fourth round. He's a great player and he's got a great character so I am really excited to see Zzy in action.


STAFFERS


Beata - YatesDiazTwine

YDT is a sweetheart, but unfortunately, she (I think it's a she but idfk) isn't a very good player. I think Beata will be an amazing MORPP angel who will be a fan favorite and who will tragically for short of winning because she's just not good enough win.

Clara - Fireblazer

He sucked ass in MvC but I needed players. Not expecting anything out of him, so I'm glad he got stuck with the boring ass nurse.

Craig Lee - JuneS

Also not expecting much. I know he's a furry and one of Cat's friends from some furry board, so I'm not really thinking he'll be able to turn an Asian violinist into something amazing.

Doug Smiley - Waka

Waka was REALLY excited to play as Doug Smiley once he opened up after FDE dropped so I'm actually excited. But at the same time, I am worried that perhaps Waka has oversold himself a bit and set the bar too high. I hope he can be amazing but I will not be surprised if he isn't.

Dr. Donovan - Hexacontakaitric

Hexa is really excited to play this character and idk why because Dr. D is boring as shit, but whatever! He seems to think he can make Dr. D into something great and I am inclined to trust him. He has played in 2 games this year and has won them both, so he's going for the 3 peat and I really hope he gets it. Hexa is one of my favorite people and I am extremely excited to have him in this game. He is the Yog to my Blondie and I'd rig this for him if I could (of course if he does win, that comment will come back to haunt me).

Elektra - crazyalexi

alexi <3 I will love Elektra even if she sucks because I love alexi and there's nothing I can do about that.

Ivanka - Burton27

The last time I saw Burton play was in....BW3 I think, unless he was in BW4 and I just can't remember. But he's kind of a boring person, and he's playing a boring character, so I think that is just a recipe for disaster and I don't think Ivanka will be that amazing. I hope I am wrong!

Lady Vidalia - Mistress Tara

As excited as I was to see Eyka play as Lady V, I am ecstatic that he dropped because I am orgasming at the thought of Tara playing her. I think Tara is an absolutely PERFECT Lady V and I think she will be one of the breakout characters of this game.

Oskar - SG91

If he can bring it as Oskar like he brought it as Nathan, then SG91 will be a great addition to this cast.

Stacey - Blueberry

I really hate to say this, but I think Blue is going to be super annoying as Stacey. Stacey's the kind of character that lends herself to being a sweetheart, but Blue is never able to pull of "sweetheart" as well as he thinks he can. So he's going to be annoying and delusions and then claim that he was a sweetheart and I am already dreading it. I am hoping beyond hope that he proves me wrong.

Stefan the Magnificant - AKAChip

I'm interested to see what Chip can do with Stefan. Chip was boring as Mickhead, but he was apparently not-so-boring as Froggy in the game he won? idk though, Flynn will have to verify. But Stefan is a very unique and interesting character and I'm interested to see how Chip plays him.

Trey - ztarfish

ztar was like the 3rd person to sign up and picked Trey for some reason and idfk why. Maybe he has something in mind for this character? Because otherwise, I am a bit baffled because it doesn't really suit him. I adore ztar though, so it's probably going to take a lot for me to not like Trey.

Well, only a few of us did this shit. Let's see how awful we were at F7:

Malarkey: 3/7
Jaxxon: 2/7

God have mercy on our souls.

In terms of jury or better:
Malarkey: 8/13
Jaxxon: 7/13

Hey, we can feel better about that, I guess, right?
