Round Two questions coming up after I've made some minor adjustments.

Lmao I did horrendously

I did however have the most Objectively Correct name for a new battle, fuck you mainstream-ass haters

I enjoyed each of those answer sets separately and as a group. Good questions.

Akumu you will never scale Mt Narcissism the way I have, back off.

I'd join The Interstellar Riot in a heartbeat.

I mean that probably doesn't mean much I try to join pretty much every available battle but I'd be extra enthusiastic for a battle with such a rad title.

Also if someone could explain why Fogel is the only viable Username, it's gotta be more than just a really odd coincidence right?

But also it's time for Round Two: The Rounds Round.

6. Which is your favourite MSPAFA Round?
7. Which round would you most like to visit?
8. Name a round that ended in a multiple elimination.
9. Name a round that you feel got off lightly in terms of destruction.
10. Which round would you like to see revisited in the style of Battleopolis or the Misty Swamp?

I enjoyed each of those answer sets separately and as a group. Good questions.

Akumu you will never scale Mt Narcissism the way I have, back off.

I don't see what's more narcissistic than picking a newer and mostly irrelevant battle that I like mainly because of my own role in it.

That being said, though, whoa I'm not in last.

If I had put in my own name on Question 1, I'd be tied with Akumu and btp for third place right now.

I think that's the most absurd score loss in pretty much any Sheep round so far.

Opening the tab for #3 crushed my hopes of winning in #4 - as Grand Battle season 3 is an actual battle and I need to get with the times. I'm glad gatr is there to hang out with though.

And DF is an omnipresent force in GrandBattles. He is the true grandmaster.

For some reason, of everyone here, I thought Fogel would be the one most likely to put down his own. I didn't actually expect to get a whole four points off that.

My score's prolly gonna take a hit this round, but until then: get rekt scrubs

I put Pinary for Username because Pinary put Username for most important part of a character sheet.

I picked Fogel because he filled three criteria for me: 1) likely to put his own name down (whoops!), 2) well known enough in battles that other people would come to that conclusion too (haha), and 3) any individual player is better served by guessing another player's name than putting their own down, statistically (I think). Fogel's very battle ubiquitous. Ubatquitous.

Come on guys you're telling me you wouldn't join The Big Fight? It's THE big fight!

Come on guys you're telling me you wouldn't join The Big Fight? It's THE big fight!

Okay yes, I would join that. A grand battle where you can only use the 1000 most frequently used english words? Sign me up.

We're three away from the end of Round Two. The Late Answers Squad knows who they are.

Looking forward to this being the round I lose any chance of a lead I have.

We finally made it. Somehow we managed to reach the end of the second round. Here's the results:

Round Three questions when it's not 5 AM.

You guys can do what you want! Me and DF are riding the SPACE TRAIN!

choo-choo!

Acidity City ended up less destroyed than when we got there, how was I the only one to pick that.

somebody take me to the world where i can draw things into reality

My destruction metric was "well compared to a regular day in Alpha Complex, how bad is an averted hacking attempt of FC, a contaminated batch of clones, and a mass shootout of troubleshooters in a hallway"

yeah honestly when i saw alpha complex on there i was like 'oh actually that makes 100% sense'

My status of Grand Battle poser has been truly solidified for all the world to see.

For the record Robo City is the objectively correct answer. It would have been so easy and satisfying to nuke that place to the ground but nope it survived pretty much in tact. Also the Monitor nabbed it for his own purposes which pretty much means its guaranteed safe at least until more battlers get unleashed on it in the future.

Time for Round Three: The Grandmasters Round:

SpoilerShow

11. Which Grandmaster is most likely to actually die during the course of their battle? (Grandmasters who were dead preceding their battle or who have already died in the course of their battle don’t count)
12. Which Grandmaster is most likely to directly kill a contestant?
13. Which Grandmaster would you most like(/be able to tolerate) living with?
14. Remember that new battle you named back in round one, name the entity that is hosting it.
15. Which Grandmaster is the most representative of their writer?

I encourage everyone to look back at my complete set of round two answers

Good God
