As I've already made clear, Vertigo 10 will be the last entry into the series. As I've also made clear, it will be All Stars. I've decided for this game to have no repeat characters. As iconic as people like Jack and Kelly G are, they've had their shots at fame and it is now time to let some deserving new people take center stage. This doesn't mean, however, that people who were in the first All Stars can't come back as different characters. This game is not going to be held for several months. I've promised my girflriend no more ORGs for a while so that we can spend more time together. I figured that in the meantime, it would be fun to take a look at 50 characters that I think deserve another shot at Vertigo. Honestly, I expect a good number of these people to say no. And that's ok, because 50 is way too many anyway. Ideally, the cast will be 18-20 people. I'm going to clamp down on public discussion of the game once it's time for me to start casting for it. I learned a lot from the first All Stars, and I am also going to clamp down on all the talking that goes on outside the game in these things. It's going to be hard with it being open ID and all, but I will try my best. But seeing as how the game is so far away, I figured a little speculation about who may or may not be in the cast would not be out of line. A lot of these names are no-brainers anyway. Some people listed aren't necessarily All Star caliber, but I wanted to get to 50 players. It doesn't hurt to have some backup options, though. And it's nice to give some people shout outs who don't necessarily know how I feel about them. So here we go! V1 Sawyer (Osten Carty) ![]() - Sawyer was one of the biggest characters in Vertigo 1, and would be an absolute lock for All Stars if he hadn't vanished off the face of the planet. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: NEGATIVE. Danielle (Pulau Tiga) ![]() - Danielle is the Souna of the Vertigo series and deserves some recognition for that. She had a funny schtick and would have been one of the most memorable players if she had lasted more than a round. However, does a first boot deserve to be an All Star? Probably not. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Charlie (Survivorfan429) ![]() - Charlie is definitely an underappreciated Vertigo character. He had a strong social game and was one of the leaders of his team. He probably would have made the merge and beyond if the wrong person (Kate - who was the target that round) hadn't won BB rights the round he was evicted. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Desmond (ts2) ![]() - Desmond was actually supposed to be in All Stars 1, but had to back out at the last minute due to a family emergency. I consider him a must have this time around. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. Shannon (Martrae) ![]() - Shannon was one of the people that made V1 as enjoyable as it was for me. Her quips and commentary in the jury house were awesome. We all know Shannon has game based on her performance as Tonya in V3, so I would definitely like to give her another shot. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: NEGATIVE. V2 Flica (samsgap) ![]() - Flica wasn't the most flashy player in Vertigo 2, but she played a solid game and coasted into the F2, where she lost to JP. She was smart, likeable and had one of the best confessionals in the game. However, due to samsgaps' hatred of both open ID games and me, her appearance in VASS2 is just simply not going to happen, although I will invite her. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: NEGATIVE. Ozzy (Gnarls) ![]() - It would take a lot of convincing to get Gnarls to play after his bad experience in All Stars 1, but I haven't ruled out his return yet. Although with open ID it is going to be very hard, I do plan on cracking down on outside the game talking, even if it means throwing around penalties like candy. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Candice (Dictatorship) ![]() - Candice to this day is still one of the most controversial figures in Vertigo history. Although Ace and I don't get along, and he will probably say no, I just have to extend an invite for this reason alone. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Billy (WatchMeNext) ![]() - I think WMN hates both me and Vertigo due to low finishes in both games she was in. I do admit she was robbed by Pirate Master round (which I will never do again, ever). So I doubt she'll say yes to this. But I have to give Billy a shout out. For being the first official vote off boot in the game, he had something like 22 pages of PMs, which is remarkable for being out so early. He played his heart out and that's always something you like to see as a host. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Slim to none. V3 Aras (Joaqenix) ![]() - Aras was awesome and had one of the best social games in V3. Joaqenix appeared in two Vertigo games and I came away very impressed with him both times, although the placements don't really reflect how good he was. I haven't seem him post in a long time, so I don't know if he'd be available to play or not. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Unlikely. Courtney (Survivor Arctic) ![]() - Courtney was so hilarious and awesome in V3, it's a shame I haven't been able to get her in any other Vertigo games. SA seems to have vanished as well, so I doubt I could get her to sign up for this. Doesn't hurt to ask though. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Grim. Kel (Mister Plum) ![]() - I consider Kel an absolute must have when it comes to All Stars 2. Why I didn't invite him for the first All stars, I have no idea. Between Kel and Shawna, Kel is definitely the more iconic character. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. Memphis (Alffmix) ![]() - I don't know if I could get Alffmix to play again, since I think he hates open ID games and he quit VASS1. But Memphis was such a fun (and fat) character, he will get an invite fo sho. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: NEGATIVE. V4 Daniele (MultiGeminii) ![]() - Daniele's social game was top notch in V4, and is one of the few people remaining from the cast I consider All Star worthy. However, due to the fact that she hates me, I have no doubt in my mind I'm going to get a no if I invite her. A no, accompanied with a cruel laugh and a slap in the face. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: None. Jed (xcountryactor06) ![]() - Jed for me was a refreshing player in V4 because he's not part of the usual GTS crowd, and played a very different game from what I'm used to seeing. Yeah he didn't win any challenges, and yeah he was a bit naive, but he was a good underdog that was fun to root for. The only problem with him is that it's so hard to get in touch with him. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. V6 Rayne (Blondzilla) ![]() - For a prejury boot, Rayne sure was a damn fun player. She was way active, entertaining, and had her hand in pretty much every cookie jar there was in the game. She even stuck around to watch the rest of the game despite being in the worst Loser Lodge ever. The hosts rewarded her loyalty by naming the Lodge in her honor. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. Lara (island sun) ![]() - Lara step up as the HBIC after Rayne was evicted, and was the next person sent packing. HBICs didn't last long in that game! Lara wasn't as over the top as Rayne, but was still a solid player who was one of my favorites and definietely deserves a second chance. IS keeps making comments that Lara should be in All Stars 2, so I will take that as a sign of interest. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Sephiroth (recyclehumans) ![]() - Anyone who followed V6 knows how epic Sephiroth was. Come on now. I consider him a must for ASS2. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. Snake (FallenTorch) ![]() - I don't know this player's stance on open ID games, but hopefully he is not opposed to them. Because as one of the series' best winners, I consider Snake a must have when it comes to ASS2. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. Ganon (ptcruisn56) ![]() - Ganon probably isn't the name that comes to everyone's mind when they think of the epic V6, but damn he had us hosts impressed the entire game with his thoughtful strategic gameplay and behind the scenes maneuvering. A lot of us were convinced he was on his way to winning the game, but then he was blindsided seemingly out of nowhere. I haven't seen pt around lately, so hopefully that doesn't mean he's too busy for ORGs, as I would love to have him back. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. Samus (Yope) ![]() - Samus and her self proclaimed UTR gameplay was a player that I underestimated seemingly all game long. I love how fierce she was, and how she did not go down without putting up a hell of a fight. She was a scrapper for sure. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. Robotnik (chapera rocks) ![]() - Another player I consider a must for All Stars 2. Robotnik dominated with his challenge wins, strong gameplay, and was part of a great alliance. He also took Snake down to the wire as far as the vote count and could easily have won this game. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. Sonic (Bassoon) ![]() - Most people probably would not consider Sonic All Star worthy. But with his random challenge wins and bizarre strategic gameplay (like targeting his partner right before the automatic pass), I just have to send him an invite. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. V7 Jules (JeffP3) ![]() - Jules was kick ass both as a character and a player. Anyone who hasn't experienced Jules should go check out the V7 board, stat! Someone I consider a must have. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. EVE (Teighteen) ![]() - EVE played a solid game and was highly entertaining in the process. Her blindside still stands as one of the best moments in V7. EVE can find redemption in All Stars 2, if she accepts the invite. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. Forrest (ThailandSurvivor) ![]() - Another must have. Forrest was my personal favorite in V7, and he had me laughing all game long. I am a great appreciater of schticks, and Forrest had the most epic schtick in a Vertigo game ever. Please accept my All Stars invite, Forrest. Mama says you have to. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Oda Mae (UD) ![]() - Like Gnarls, it will take UD some convincing to play in VASS2 after he had a bad experience in the first game. I know how it is to get betrayed in an open ID game, and it hurts. Its much worse than being betrayed in a normal game, because at least in normal games people don't know who you are when they shove a knife in your back. Really, really hope UD isn't as opposed to playing as I think he is. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Frodo (unduli clone) ![]() - I consider Frodo to be not only one of V7's most underrated characters, but one of Vertigo's overall most underrated characters. He played a strong social game, and his alliance with Mary Jane dominated the competitions from like the fourth round on. I came away very impressed with Frodo. If not for a ballsy move taking him out at F4 instead of Oda Mae, he very well could have won V7. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: NEGATIVE. Mary Jane (Quiddity) ![]() - MJ had a shaky social game, and probably could not have won against anyone but maybe her partner in crime Frodo in the F2. But holy crap.... outside of Jack I don't think I've ever seen a player as dominant in challenges before. I consider MJ a must for All Stars 2. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Ash (FranklinBluth) ![]() - Ash was a social god, and only made one mistake in the game - not winning the final endurance challenge. If he had made it to the F2, I think he would have swept the vote and gone on to be known as one of the best Vertigo players ever. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. Sara (Survivaholic) ![]() - This wasn't Holic's best game, but even running at about 60% Sara still made F6 and outlasted many other solid players in the game. Plus it wouldn't be right if the defending All Star champ didn't get to fight to retain her crown. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Maybe.V8 Sandra (arasfromexile) ![]() - Sassy Sandra was a goddess at the challenges, and played one hell of a strategic game as well. She was such a great character! V8 wasn't the most exciting Vertigo game, but imagine how dull it would have been if Sandra hadn't been in it. She was amazing, and another person I consider a must. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Tom (Foulmouthedleon) ![]() - Wacky Tom was a fun player who was able to sit pretty through the majority of the game within the Survivor alliance that dominated all. He could have easily won, but it was hard for people not to pull for Will Mega and his gigantic underdog story. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: NEGATIVE. Boo (madhack) ![]() - Boo was another member of the dominating Survivor alliance. Kind of like Ganon in V6, he laid low and didn't play the most over the top game, but I did think for a while he was going to slip into the finals and have a shot at winning the game. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. Marvin (notremojo) ![]() - Marvin was everything you would expect from a notre character. Some loved him. Some absolutely hated him. He brought so much to the game and I was sad to see him fall short of making the merge. He's also memorable for taking part in an epic 8+ hour endurance challenge and losing out to Shawna. Marvin definitely deserves a second chance. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. Jeff (HumongousDiva) ![]() - To be honest, I thought Jeff was dull as can be the first week or so of the game. But then when the merge came, and he started showing some of that HD personality of his, I became a fan. I think he would add a ton to All Stars 2 if given a second shot. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Mega (emcee batley) ![]() - The greatest winner in Vertigo history. Need I say more? Mega overcame long odds and Chris/Danni'd his way into the finals where he beat Tom in a not close jury vote. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Probable. Jordan (GHAEYR) ![]() - Jordan was about as sweet and loveable as you can possibly get. I didn't see a whole lot of gameplay out of her, but she was definitely a memorable character who deserves recognition for her efforts. She is borderline, however. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Slim. Laura (Burton27) ![]() - Laura missed a ton of challenges and for a while it seemed as if she were getting dragged along in the game. But when she did make the challenges, she gave it her all and ended up winning a few key comps that really shook up the complexity of the game. She was an unpredictable dark horse character that was fun to root for as an underdog. All Star worthy? That's questionable. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Slim. V9 Leigh Anne (CC) ![]() - Despite getting off to a slow start and being labeled as one of the first people to go off of the movie team, Leigh Anne kicked it into high gear a few days in the game. Her honest approach and challenge whoring ways earned her a seat in the finals, where she lost one of the closest votes in Vertigo history. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Lucca (Purple Parrot) ![]() - Lucca's mix of social and strategic gameplay along with a few key challenge wins lifted her to one of the hardest fought Vertigo wins ever. I'd love to get all post ASS1 winners into the game, and Lucca definitely fits that bill. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Uhura (jensamember36) ![]() - Like Leigh Anne, Uhura was another player in V9 that I wrote off early in the game. Her gameplay was spotty in some parts, but she was just so damn fun and entertaining along the way that I absolutely have to give her an invite. I think she would add a lot of fun and lightheartedness to what are usually very dark all Star games. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Shion (Maj) ![]() - Someone I consider a must. Shion was the complete package, and if it weren't for bad luck at the F4 challenge, might have gone on to win the game. Great strategic player, and good at challenges too. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Neytiri (KittyPryde1) ![]() - Neytiri was the most epic player in the game until she quit. I'd love it if Neytiri came back for another shot at redemption, but the retirement thread is making me think otherwise. I'd love nothing more than to be proven wrong though. She did say she may come back for All Star games, so I have my fingers crossed. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Rinoa (CatLurvesDorothy) ![]() - Out of all CLD's Vertigo performances, I consider Rinoa to be the best (although Kevin and Scarfie placed higher). She was a great character, and one of the best at challenges in the early part of the game. If there had not been a swap, she would have made the jury for sure. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Ada (crazyalexi) ![]() - Ada was probably the least active juror, and will likely be remembered as the player who accidentally screwed over her partner by not leaving a voting list. Despite her shortcomings, she was well liked and respected by her peers and made some gameplay moves that certainly raised the interesting level in V9. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Jack (Manzana) ![]() - Strong social player who was well liked by everyone, and could have been well liked enough to win a jury vote if he hadn't been squeezed out by the partner twist at F5. Could be united with his lost love if they both sign up for ASS2. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: NEGATIVE. Wilson (IYBIL) ![]() - Haters kindly fuck off. Wilson was hilarious and amazing. Yeah his placement isn't exactly All Star worthy, but I have to get to 50 somehow. He'd be a welcome addition to the cast for sure. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Yoda (goohst) ![]() - Yoda was for sure goohst's best Vertigo character. He's shown steady improvement in each game, and he was sooo close to breaking through in this one. Yoda was a memorable player, and its always fun to see a person play a character the way he's supposed to be played. He's borderline, but someone who has worked hard to earn All Star recognition. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: NEGATIVE. Kratos (Blueberry) ![]() - Honestly, I didn't see much All Star potential from Kratos (I'm not being an ass, just being truthful!) but he seems very enthusiastic about making it into the game, and that's something I can't ignore. If I'm having a hard time filling the cast (which is always possible seeing as how open ID games have a bad rap) he may get an invite. Likelihood of being in All Stars 2: Possible. Discuss? Anyone I'm forgetting? |

They won't. And no. I'm expecting a lot of rejections but if I wind up with like 30 people who say yes, I'll just be a cruel prick and trim off the people I think are least worthy of All Stars. |
