Announcing TableThere is a close up on Selaim at the announcing table. She seems nervous and fidgety and is looking around for Jimmy. She barely even notices the disheveled and battered figure that sits beside her. Finally noticing him, her eyes widen.
"Miales!! We thought you were trapped!" she exclaims.
"Wouldn't miss the finale for the world Selaim. They thought they had me but I got out. Finally. Had to step on the shoulders of Alduin to do it. And wash a few dishes there is a lot of snacking going on in Triple 399. But I got out." he says taking off a pair of rubber gloves and quickly brushing himself off looking a little more presentable.
"So where are we at? What'd I miss?"
"Well the final vote was cast and I was waiting on... Oh Weez!" Selaim exclaims suddenly as Weez joins them at the table.
Miales smiles broadly at her appearance. "Sorry I am late. I hope my cast of characters weren't too overwhelming."
Weez shakes her head, "Not in the least. They were entertaining."
"They can be." Miales's looks down shaking his head as his eyes widen at that. "So it seems they were interviewing contestants while I was gone. So what are your thoughts on Round 25? Whay is it so special?
.
Round 25 is pretty exciting this game! 4 people vying for the title, though it was rotten timing for you to get the deal.
.
"Yeah that was a nice twist to get nabbed by the tiebreaker rule at the bitter end." He scowls a little before masking his emotions again and asks, "Well what do you think of the competitors? Do you think you can outscore TennesseeMaiden by the 11 points you need to?
.
I think it might be quite a battle between the newer kid on the block, TennesseeMaiden, and the veteran Aqua. Seems unlikely that those two will stand still so I can race ahead of them.
.
"Apt analysis. Those two can be ACRO machines when they want to be. Every round they put out witty ACROs that track well with voters." he then mutters "Not as well as mine apparently or else they'd be dealing more often."
"But that is neither here nor there. Today is about the crowning of a new ACRO Champion and even more importantly thanking you for all the time and effort you have put into making the game as fun and enjoyable as it is. Earlier in the game you announced your retirement. Do you have any plans for the future?
.
Retirement might give me some time to plot out my strategy for taking over the world, but I think I'll probably be too lazy to actually get anything done on that. Being an observer and possible advisor will be a nice change.
.
"There you have it folks. Weez is planning on taking over the world. Watch out Aqua, you are probably first on her list." Miales smirks broadly at the camera. So I guess the next biggest question is who are you passing the reins off to? Who is your pick for moderator?
.
Yes, who will be up next?! Hopefully we have an answer before the end of Round 1.
.
Laughing Miales smiles broadly, "That is for another day then. But tonight it is all about thanking you for all the time and effort you have put into the game. Oh and crowning a new champion. In fact, I think that we are ready to unveil the results."
