The deadline is tomorrow.

I may or may not be around to update this tomorrow. I'm gonna be off partying and watching the Packers/Cardinals playoff game.

So if I don't show up tomorrow and you sneak a vote in after the deadline, I'll probably count it.

It's still an extremely close race, and every vote is going to count. If you think that your vote won't make a difference.... it will!

I was bored at work tonight so I did little write ups for all the people in the running for nomination.

I'll update this when I wake up tomorrow.

If anyone still wants to vote, you have from now until I get up in the morning. How very exciting.

THE NOMINEES, IN RANDOM ORDER



Snake (Fallen Torch)
Posted Image
WINNER, VERTIGO 6.

Solid Snake holds the distinction of winning Vertigo 6, generally considered to be the best and the toughest of all the games in the series.

When I was casting for this game, I didn't know who Fallen Torch was, and took his skills for granted. I tried my best to make the pairings as even as possible, with the bad players paired up with the good ones, and vice versa. There were a few exceptions, but that is mainly what i tried to do. It turns out that by pairing Fallen Torch and chapera rocks together, I was putting two great players together and inadvertently creating the biggest powerhouse alliance in the game.

Snake and his partner survived all the twists and turns in this game and made it all the way to the F2 together. It wasn't an easy ride, as Snake was very close to going home at several points throughout the game. But the pair perservered, and Snake was able to take advantage of his partnership with Robotnik, as well as his Gun & Sword alliance with Sephiroth to make it to the end and win.

Snake is a very popular player who used lies and deception to his advantage. How will he fare in the overall voting now that the nominations are final? We shall see!


JP (spnintendo)
Posted Image
WINNER, VERTIGO 2.
SIXTH PLACE, VERTIGO 5.

JP has appeared in two Vertigo games, and has done very well in both of them.

He won Vertigo 2 by flying low and being nice to everyone. He and Flica made the F2, and were reamed by the jury who thought that they both were very undeserving to be there. Regardless of their feelings, JP walked away with a lopsided victory and took home the crown of what has been the most controversial game in the series.

In Vertigo 5: All Stars, JP returned and played the game very differently. He didn't lay nearly as low as he did in V2. In fact, he played quite the opposite. He was a lot more fierce and confident in this one, in addition to being a major challenge threat. His confessional where he bashed everyone was absolutely hilarious.

JP's "Mean Girls" alliance dominated the game, until he was backstabbed at the F6 by his good friend Dan. JP made two huge enemies in this game - Jack (Gilmore) and Stephannie (UD). The fighting and personal attacks that took place in the jury house were one of the reasons this game is known as being so vicious. Despite the lower finish, I would have to say that V5 JP was much better and more entertaining than the JP in V2.


Tonya (Martrae)
Posted Image
WINNER, VERTIGO 3.
SEVENTH PLACE, VERTIGO 5.

Tonya holds the distinction of beating one of the series' most popular players (Kelly G) in the final 2 of Vertigo 3. She went on to finish seventh in V5, although she probably should have made it father if people weren't so dumb.

In Vertigo 3, Tonya was known as being quiet and keeping to herself. She wasn't antisocial, just very guarded. She kicked some major ass at the challenges, and deserves much of the credit for turning the game around when she and Kelly were close to being voted off towards the end.

With the help of Jennifer, and several key challenge wins by Tonya - she and Kelly made it to the F2, where Tonya eeked out an extremely close vote. Her speech about playing smarter rather than harder still stands out to many people as being one of the best closing statements in ORG history.

In Vertigo All Stars, Tonya was reunited with her lover Sayid (Tonya played as Shannon in Vertigo: Lost Island). Those two worked as a very effective duo, and were the alliance I was personally rooting for the most.

Tonya was taken out at F7 by the Mean Girls alliance. So sad :( I was hoping someone would break off from the alliance and try to use her to further their own game. But that didn't happen.

All in all, Tonya is a very loved character who is known for her challenge prowess and honesty. But will that help her get into the Hall of Fame?


Kelly (Survivaholic
Posted Image
SECOND PLACE, VERTIGO 3.
WINNER, VERTIGO 5.

Here she is! One of the most well known and respected players to come out of the Vertigo series.

Kelly G won the minds and hearts of America in Vertigo 3, when she came out of the gates extremely strong. Kelly made multiple alliances with almost everyone in the game and wasn't afraid to stab people in the back if it meant getting ahead. Her cocky and amazing confessional was probably the best thing I have ever seen in an ORG. Tonya and Kelly were an amazing duo to watch in action. Kelly did the decieving, Tonya won the challenges. It was a match made in ORG heaven.

Despite the strong game she played, her social game could have been better. She got into several public fights with both Corinne and Courtney. In the end, this ended up costing her jury votes and a shot to win at the end. It was fun to watch though! After Tonya beat Kelly, several people wouldn't shut up for months about how Kelly was robbed, and should have won. Turns out, Kelly got her redemption in Vertigo All Stars.

In V5, Kelly returned and was a much different player. Holic had just returned from being out of the country, and was immediately thrown into the fire that was All Stars. Kelly was nowhere near the character she was in V3, and had even expressed interest in dropping out after the first few days. Luckily, she didn't do that - and went on to win against Angie in the F2.

Kelly played a very low key game and avoided all the public arguments and callouts. She was also one of the few people to come out of the game without any broken friendships or blood on her hands. Is Kelly Hall of Fame worthy? Definitely. But then again, so is everyone else up for nomination.


Jennifer (GnarlsOakley)
Posted Image
THIRD PLACE, VERTIGO 3.
FOURTEENTH PLACE, VERTIGO 5.

Jennifer is one of the most hilarious players to appear in the series. You may recall, she was up for nomination last year when I did the Vertigo Hall of Fame.

Jenn started V3 out very rough. She rubbed everyone the wrong way with her religious schtick, and drew the ire of Courtney, who couldn't stand her. Courtney made several photochops mocking Jenn, and put them in her signature. I thought for sure that Jennifer was going to be an early boot based on the way the first few days went.

But Jennifer played a strong social game, and was viewed as being harmless by most people. She survived a major callout from Cappy when he quit the game, and skated by to the end, where she mixed it up big time by teaming up with Tonya and Kelly to take out Corinne and Courtney.

Despite the bizarre schtick, Jenn was loved by most people on the jury, and possibly could have won in front of the jury. Instead, she fell victim to Kelly and Tonya at the Final 3. Jennifer was a huge positive force in the game, and one of the many great characters that made V3 one of the best ORGs I've ever been a part of.

All Stars was a different story, as Jennifer was the first boot in the game. She didn't really do anything wrong, either. I think her reputation as being unpredictable and stabbing people in the back finally caught up to her.

In that game, Becky was the consensus first boot, and everyone just assumed she would be the first to go. Myself included! Due to this, everyone threw votes around at Tribal Council, assuming the Becky boot was a foregone conclusion. But Jack (who had a history with Gnarls) was able to get his alliance to vote for Jennifer. Due to all the votes being scattered all over the place, Jack's rallying worked out, and Jennifer was blindsided right off the bat.

I know why Jennifer was taken out, due to her unpredictability and tendency to betray people. But I still think Jack's alliance would have been better off taking out a more dangerous threat, such as Kelly, Angie, or JP. Instead, Jack's alliance was never able to really get it together, and they were quickly eliminated from the game.

Jennifer missed out on the Hall of Fame last year. Will luck be on her side this time around?



Voting is open! You may PM me your vote for ONE of the five nominees. Feel free to pimp your favorite character as well. The deadline will be January 21st. Who will join Jack in the Hall of Fame?

:iiam









I might as well mention the people who were extremely close to getting nominated.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Forrest Gump (Thailandsurvivor) - Vertigo 7
Forrest jumped out to an early lead in the HoF voting, and then quickly dropped out of contention soon thereafter. He was a part of the epic 5 way tie for 5th place that took place about a week ago. Unfortunately, he didn't get any votes after that until last night :(

Angie (ILT) - Vertigo 4 & 5
Angie would have been a solid HoF candidate, as she played a very strong game in Vertigo 4, and kicked it up a notch and was unbelievably fierce in V5. Unfortunately, she fell 3 votes shy of nomination.

Ryan (Alffmix) - Vertigo 4 & 5
I have NO idea why Ryan was so close to breaking the top 5. Voting alliance anyone?

Robert (notremojo) - Vertigo 4 & 5
Robert was in and out of the top 5 all throughout the voting process. He came extremely, heartbreakingly close to getting in, but fell just one vote shy of tying the fifth placer.

Dan (Madhackrviper) Vertigo 4 & 5
Vertigo 4 and 5 voting alliance for the loss! Not that I dislike Dan or think he isn't deserving. There are just so many other players I think of as more Hall of Fame worthy than him.

Jin (Finishthemoff) - Vertigo 1
Jin recieved more votes than the following people who got votes:
Kel
Courtney
Robotnik
Oda Mae
Ozzy
Memphis
Ash
Frodo
Rayne
Saywer
Sayid
Stephannie
Ana Lucia
Desmond
Samus
Hurley
Locke
Becky
Danielle

In addition to all the people who didn't get any votes (and there were quite a few of them).

One of your characters might have had a shot, but the votes were split between Oda and Steph.

Except for the person he saved lolz. ^_^

And I refuse to vote for Tonya because she was so ridiculously jealous of my alliance with Sayid. When I talked about it in jury she threw around "YOU LIE" a lot. And after the game was over and confessionals were opened she didn't say a word. ^_^ Sayecky ftw <3

I nommed Angie and JP. And I couldn't remember anyone else so that's it. ^_^

I'ma vote for JP for the lulz.

And Tonya wouldn't have gotten 7th if she wasn't acting like such a pretentious bitch about the spamming challenge. Beckychallengestreakownage <3
