I read old UGSHS games, and that includes old ToL's, and I do know how good Mandy's entrance skits are in ToL's.

Yes. You'll be in for quite a treat. I mean I think I do okay, but when Mandy gets her mind on a skit, it's awesomeness redefined!
She also does her best work when she's tired, for some reason.

My brain works better when I'm tired. I have no idea. I think I need to get my brain studied by a doctor or something. *shrugs* But trust me... Come the end of this, I should have a skit set up for Sinatra. He will be ridiculed in ways you've never seen.

You guys need to remember which tournament's which, you know that, right? I won't be able to bail you out all the time like I did today.

Apparently, I'm so flustered with other things. I'll remember for the next time, don't you worry about it.

Mandy, do you think that feature we discussed could work?

Yeah. Definitely have to remember which one's which. LOL.

It could work. Though as long as it's a limit and cannot be used as a secondary Sudden Death when someone is brought back via Seek Revenge, it could be a good feature.
Is it going to be a main game feature? Because that's my problem. I know a couple of people will go feature crazy at the start of the game if it is.

See, I'm not one to try to reinvent Sudden Death 25 times. It's hard to come up with new features because the ones we have work so well.

Ryan already tried to reinvent Sudden Death with the Face-Off. (Seriously, Mark L. Walberg got shafted 'cause it was used as a secondary Sudden Death, dammit.) I'm afraid that if it's going to be used in that way, the purpose of Seek Revenge will be pointless. Seek Revenge cancels out a second Sudden Death, so if this Reverse Cancellation is brought into the game, it can only be used before the contestant is brought back via Seek Revenge. And if the player is kicked out of the game because of it, I think no Seek Revenge should be available.

Good idea, but remember, ToL's don't have any SR's, and I designed Reverse Cancellation for the ToL's and ToL's only, because the case often is that someone's kept IN the game to the point of abuse. Main game use of this feature is not recommended.
(And I only tried Face-off as an adaption of a feature I found in the UGSCS series.)

But I still find that it shafted Mark L. Walberg. I'm still protesting that call.

It's basically a Sudden Death for the ToL.
There's two major reasons I don't do that. Under the guise of "Fresh meat", you'll see some hosts that aren't that good that one or two people will try to use it on.
Second, it's very easy to misuse this feature. One reason I don't allow a quick exit in the game is there will be hosts that people's opinions in this matter vary quite a bit. It's hard to find an accord for a host that doesn't suck. I don't need to tell you at least four hosts I think belong in the ToL that people will argue with me to high heaven over.

I'm repeating this: I created this idea to prevent abuse in ToL's, and abuse only. You know what I mean, right? It happens in ToL's all the time, one person doing anything and everything to keep a host/show in the ToL. Freezing them at every turn, Breaking them down at the very second they've reached four votes, nominaing them for the ten, even trying for the 30 for them! I admit I'm guilty of it in the UGSHS ToL , and I know that a particular voter is guilty of it in the UGSS ToL.
I think the feature could work!

I haven't seen the exact details, but from what I could tell, there's going to be no need for it unless you're more than halfway through the game.
Remember: ToL's are free-for-alls, basically. No one person can keep a host in the game so long that a person who was going to go into the MDM is going to end up in the Hall of Shame.
Now you want to talk about a cheap move? Look at the vote restriction on Shelly's UGSAS games. That was done with one agenda in mind, and one only, to get Jay Stewart and Shadoe Stevens into the Hall of Fame (when I finish gagging, I'll try and compose myself)
