:toxx: I want to see some SURGICAL BOSS KILLS

What is a surgical boss kill? It's when you can show me video footage of a boss being killed by a 1hp damage attack. That way I know you've killed them for the exact amount of HP they have and no more.

I will donate $2.50 for every time someone ITT shows me any one boss on this list being surgically killed.

Melusine
Omniscient
Leviathan
Catastrophe
Twintania
Neo Exdeath

However, each boss on this list can only be claimed three times. e.g. once I've seen three surgical Melusine kills, I'll stop paying out for surgical Melusine kills.

Finally, the first person to get a surgical triple crown - surgically killing NED, Shinryu and Omega, will see me drop $25 into the pot.

:toxx:

p.s. I'm not a huge mathematics nerd or someone who understands the game mechanics very well. I am not certain if it is possible to surgically kill each of these bosses.

So long as I can see the number 1 immediately followed by the death animation, and it looks like it was recorded from motion capture rather than two images put together, it's good.

The reason I want video instead of still images is you could just snap a 1hp attack and follow it with a snap of the boss dying but not have any evidence that there weren't other attacks in between those two points.

That's the End All, Be All, Everything Was hosed start date. Normally the Fiesta starts after The Run ends and RK wakes up. He was already awake this time but is delaying 12 hours to make sure everyone is registered properly.

Edit: Also yes please dump Twitter. Just wait until some chuds catch wind of the charity and spread the news to mass report Gilgabot for a temporary shut down.

for people doing fiesta mod #chaos runs, do you roll all your jobs immediately and assign them all at the wind shrine, or to people generally still roll them one by one so you might have 4 Beastmasters at the wind shrine or w/e

you're still supposed to unlock them by crystal even if you're using fiesta mod. so at the water crystal you would only have two jobs even if you know all of them.

I get them all immediately but don't equip them until I get access to a non knife weapon or a spell for that class, cause I'm not doing the 'four bards with knives try to get through ship graveyard' thing again

Play how you want but I don't even roll my next crystal until I'm in the cutscene for it. There's rarely a delay once the Fiesta is off and running. I like the potential challenge of beating a boss or location with only one or two jobs available.

Bruceski

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

I only use one per crystal, but I'll often unlock them all at the start because I'm an obsessive completionist and otherwise I'll be hitting every piano and ribbon and whatever else class-specific is along the way "just in case."

Isn't the ribbon pretty much right on the critical escape path, even? It's not like it's one of the upper floor chests.

It's a slight detour and requires a fight, but yes.

I even saved it in a run where I started with White/Time because you always save the ribbon.

I generally flop back and forth between unlock and swap immediately, or update my jobs as the crystal comes along, but I will always equip a job even if I don't officially have access to it at the Wind Crystal. I just don't like playing as Freelancers and wish Pure Chaos had that and Mime removed and added on like a modifier like Fifth Job.

:toxx:

Goblins are cool, blue mages are cool. Goblin punch is pretty neat, as well!

Because DragonDarch won the run this year, i'm going to be donating $2 for every boss defeated with a Goblin Punch. $4 if the puncher is the same level as the boss in question. $6 if you manipulate levels on the boss to brute force it. Combined donation limit will be $100. Post an image/.gif of the punch and boss death as proof.

Also, I will donate an extra $5 for the first person who defeats Omniscient/Rug Wizard through tanking the battle (letting him run out of MP). Just post a screenshot- i'll take your word for it.

The unrestricted equipment selection counts for a lot all along. Throw in the stat boosts from the jobs you've mastered and Freelancers shine later too.

Because maintaining a twitter bot is impossible and Koziol is finally figuring that out and is apparently working on a traditional forms-based way to do the Fiesta.
