74. Incendia - Unruly Discharge (The Nightclub)

As I recall, Incendia was one of the few participants in the Nightclub to appreciate Synn's schtick, and for that alone, she makes it this far in the ranking. I never trusted her and I thought she might secretly hate me, but as it turns out, that was something that applied to the other players much more than Incendia. She didn't exactly have my back, but at least my conversation didn't piss her off. That counts for something. She was also my first alliance in the game, pushing her to the top of the contractual obligations and causing everyone to link the two of us. Which was exactly what I had hoped for, because I wanted Incendia to go down as people vied for control of me. That didn't happen. What a shame.

Um, yeah, I knew Incendia was UD, so that made me like her. And I never had a problem talking to her, and she helped play into my gimmick. So congrats on #74!

73. JT - Alffmix (Tocantins)

Okay, so this is another character that's probably higher than it should be simply because I like the person behind the avatar. Honestly, JT was rather boring in the game. Sandy took the southern accent, leaving JT with nothing more than the occasional one-liner. I'm pretty sure he pleaded with me to give him the idol after I was exiled to Jalapao, but that might just have been what someone on my tribe said he would do, and then he didn't actually do it.

Point is, Alffy deserved to win over the bitter bitch Taj, and I was disappointed when he didn't. I truly do not understand how the guy fails to kick ass in jury votes. He'd always get my vote, seriously.

72. Niki - WatchMeNext (Lost/Heroes)

Oh, Niki. Clearly the queen bitch of the Heroes tribe, I had a great deal of fun tearing into her pre-merge. She was the one with the best comebacks and the most hostile belligerence, so naturally, she appealed to Sawyer and his schtick. Her fight with Elle was absolutely epic and set the tone for the rest of the game, moving us firmly into the vicious backstabbing that would make up post-merge play. From that point, she proceeded to kick a hell of a lot of ass, providing some of my only challenge competition (eventually beating me and causing my boot) and moving herself into the F5 despite her enemies. She continued to wage war with Elle even after her boot, a vote which depressed me because she was the person I was rooting for after I was knocked out (I then began to root for Sun, who was voted off, leaving us with an awful F3 ).

Niki was a great character, but my problem with her is that I still think booting me at F6 lost her the game. She should have kept me around, honestly. And anyone who sinks their chances at a win by voting me off loses a bit of respect. Sure, it probably seemed like the right move to make and I understand her helping make it, but it wasn't in her best interests whatsoever. And a Niki/Sawyer F2 would have been so epic, too.

71. Lill - RealityChopper (Stranded: All-Stars)

Let me just say that Lill is the most robbed player I have ever seen in my entire ORG career. Seriously. Andrew beating her in the Final 2 was the most absurd event of all time. To this day, I can't believe it went down like it did.

And that's only part of why I appreciate her so much. Fact is, she was my favorite throughout all of Peru (which I co-hosted), and I was rooting for her all the way. She dominated every facet of the game, dictating every vote and controlling every player. It was incredibly impressive, and what made it all the better was how gloriously mean she was about the whole thing. She was ruthless, she didn't give a shit about the other players, and she was going to be the best villain I've ever seen win. Alas, it was not meant to be (probably because she was so awesome in her FTC), but I still really loved her performance.

Problem is, she didn't really bring that back for ASS, where I actually played with her. She was on the outs right from the get-go (no real surprise there), and when I ended up on her tribe, she unfortunately became the first target. There was no real getting around it, she didn't have anything to offer me. She made the mistake of idoling out Amanda rather than someone with power (even though it was kind of laffos for her to idol out her biggest enemy like that in both games they played) and went out the following round. Kind of a disappointing comeback from a previously phenomenal (and exciting and fascinating and entertaining) player.

70. Charlie - SurvivorFan429 (Vertigo)

I liked Charlie. He was so nice to me and helped make Danielle's short stay in Vertigo pretty enjoyable. I'm never able to identify SF429 in games (despite playing in two of his), but he's always pretty likable. Most importantly, though, Charlie was one of the people gunning for Kate in that first round, and it was that agenda that almost helped me survive past my inevitable first boot. Had Kate not won that damn PoV competition, Charlie would have been the person most responsible for saving my ass. I can appreciate that. And dammit, he was the only person to talk to me in LL and one of the only people to make me feel welcome in the game. So for that, he ranks this high.

69. Colleen - colleenlover (Stranded: All-Stars)

Colleen had no place in Stranded: All-Stars. Everyone involved in the season knows how I feel about this, because it's absolute bullshit that an All-Stars season for a series of games would include anyone who had never even participated in that series in the first place. CL was invited simply because poody is creepily obsessed with the chick and couldn't find people from his first season to play. It was stupid and it tainted my opinion of Colleen in the game.
That being said, CL is an incredibly nice person and that was definitely evident in ASS. I had been waiting for a long time to play with her again (after finally getting on her tribe in poody's first ASS game, only to have the game implode that very night), and though we didn't really end up working together like I had hoped we would, the respect she showed me despite me being a minority threat really endeared her to me. Of all the members of the Bad News Bears, Colleen was the only one who didn't lie to me or feed me transparent bullshit. She was straight up, complimented me on my ability to persevere, and totally fed my ego with all her comments about how amazing I was at the game. Maybe she was just playing for my jury vote, but if so, she was doing a damn good job at it. It just always felt like everything she told me was sincere, and maybe that's how she won so many games in her heyday (although it probably had something to do with the blatant rigging that was done in her favor as well). She had no right to participate in the game and she never gave me the opportunity to infiltrate the majority alliance, but in a group of unlikable, arrogant gamers, Colleen stood out as someone I could always enjoy talking to.

68. Laava - ch1223 (The Nightclub)

Laava was sweet, which is no surprise, considering ch1223 is one of the nicest ORG players around. She came into the game late as a replacement for the original Laava, and the mass of inactives allowed her the time to make up ground and find alliances. Which is good, because she deserved to have a real go at the game. I'm not really sure what went down after my untimely eviction, but Laava skated through and I'm sure it had something to do with the fact that she was just quite likable. And most importantly, I was really impressed that ch1223 used so much correct grammar and punctuation. It's a wonder what exposure to proper typing can do for you. So yeah, for being nice and quiet and likable, I rank Laava this high. There wasn't actually anything bad about her, just nothing that stood out that much either.

67. Michael Myers - SurvivorArctic (Colosseum 6: Horror Edition)

Michael was enjoyable, and the string of mid-game boots in Colosseum 6 really crushed me. Honestly, we didn't talk that much. I chose him as the target for my Annie character stalking at the very beginning of the game, but that was short-lived and he didn't play into it much. The *stalking* and *heavy breathing* probably got annoying pretty quickly, but all I remember is that there was something endearing about him and his efforts in the game. Apart from Regan, he was the only player to ever act suspiciously, playing the early rounds of the game better than just about anyone, I felt. I still have no idea how much of it was on purpose, but if he was trying to look like a potential Killer candidate, he did a great job. Hell, I almost wish he had been the Killer, because his sabotage would have been pretty tricky. Anyway, I was shocked to see him leave as early as he did. For some reason, I had him pegged as an end game player and I was really rooting for him to go far. In a fairly likable cast, Michael Myers easily made the top tier. I just can't be too specific as to why, because I don't really know.

66. Zoe - Alffmix (Debb's Hags)

Er, how do I write this without sounding like a broken record? Zoe deserved to win this game, and it's a travesty she lost in the jury vote. Unlike in Tocantins, I actually had an opportunity to give her my vote and help her win, but it wasn't enough, and she lost out to borewhore Helen. And unlike in Tocantins, this wasn't just a case of Zoe looking somewhat likable next to lacking F2 competition, it was a situation where Zoe had actually been the only person to really try and help me out early in the game when I was being targeted by all the worst characters in the game. She was one of the few to appreciate my schtick, and had I decided to give up and play normally, she totally would have welcomed me with open arms and we could have dominated. So yeah, boo to Helen. Plus, Zoe totally kicked ass in challenges and apparently called most of the end game shots, so her losing was a product of bitter bitches on the jury who couldn't appreciate her mad skills. Lame.

65. Brix - snalpoacks (The Nightclub)

I'm like half falling asleep right now, so let's make this last write-up quick (sorry alpo, but you get a better ranking character later on anyway). Brix was one of the people I liked the most from the Nightclub, despite never trusting him and viewing him as a follower of Fiya. He probably liked her more than me too, but in a game where Synn got undue hate from most of the cast, Brix stood out as one of the few who was always nice to me. And when he joined me in the Loser Lodge, he totally told me he had enjoyed our conversations and all that, which just warms my cold robotic heart. Plus, he had a nifty idea to share an ice cream during our daily strategy session. Which didn't work so well with a robot, but it was totally a brilliant social move and showed that the dude knows how to get people to like him and trust him. And I love ice cream, by the way.
