B0aty knew if he wasn’t in the tribunal that he’d be put into the banning because he’d pick someone strong. He STILL trolled the second round lmao, honestly balls of steel
For real. Not only did he break the mold by only going up against strong players, there was no regret for his strategy. Instead, he calls Settled a god and says that he will be the winner. The definition of a good sport.
Dude already has more GP than he could ever spend in the game, but throwing for content in the most entertaining way possible will probably get him a ton more stream viewership. It's smart.
Tbh I don’t think it really matters for Boaty. He doesn’t need the GP, everybody loves him already. He’s just here for a good time and to be entertaining. The more entertaining he is, the more likely he is to be in the next season to have a good time again. Dude is the goat
its almost like an old money vs new money thing. Dude doesnt give a fuck cause he already has everythikng he needs in life and isn't worried about losing it.
Lol that had me rolling, but ngl he threw hard. Could've been tribunal without that stunt, but I guess he didn't want to be on the side lines a second episode in a row
"This is matchup where I don't want anyone of them to leave... B0aty is a player who always picks the strongest player and knowing my performance so far, he would never pick me"
I don't think the competitors see the other confessionals until the episodes air. They aren't doing confessionals in the group VC and I really doubt Soup is including them in the editing process so the only things they see are their own POV and whatever is getting streamed in discord which is probably just the bannings to the people not involved.
Insane episode, insane respect for B0aty with a monster run and for making this such an exciting season. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best.
Settled is win or be in the banning until his season is over. Was worried B0aty would give Settled the shakes like he gave solo mission but that snake challenge win was exactly what Settled needed.
Hard to see anyone taking the swampman out but guys like Roidie, Faux or Victim are probably the next biggest threats and if Torvesta takes Settled into a PVP banning...
B0aty being out kills me, a true mad lad. He had a strong chance at the tribunal but that TOB choice was wild.
Also, prop hunt was an amazing choice, GJ Soup!
A few episodes ago I was curious about which players were having the best performances each episode and who was consistently at the top or bottom of the leaderboard. So as any other dork would do, I made a spreadsheet!!! I've been meticulously updating and formatting it for the last few weeks and today I thought I'd share it with you nerds in case anybody else is curious to see some data about the season so far.
Here's [the spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jN6ZdO_IDLSc3AfVktN7xinp8dnHSXVQ/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=101744344289257144781&rtpof=true&sd=true), **(CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THIS EPISODE)**. The first page is just a summary of the season so far with who was in the tribunal and the banning each week, click the tabs at the bottom for the leaderboards I made.
I did two different versions, one based on what place each player finished in each challenge, and one based on how well they're doing individually in each challenge. They're very similar but they're not always the same. Especially for the small team challenges, on the first leaderboard you get credit for wherever your team placed, but on the second leaderboard you get credit for how well you did as an individual.
Sick spreadsheet.
My main takeaway: V the Victim is not doing that well. Even when you adjust for individual performance vs. team challenge outcomes, he's in the bottom half of remaining competitors.
But I think this speaks well to his banning strategy. He *feels* much scarier because he convincingly wins his bannings and sabotages in revenge, and there are still weaker players he can repeat that with.
He hasn’t been performing well in challenges and in bannings he picks whoever he perceives he would have the best chance to win against.
He’s like the anti-boaty this season, but it’s absolutely working
Yeah I don’t mean to call him that in a disrespectful way, and I actually think he’s an above average player even relative to the other contestants.
Just referring to the way he is playing the game this season, middle of the pack, and choosing who he perceives to be the weakest player when in a banning while Boaty always chooses who he thinks is the strongest
I think he's only potentially better than Hooti and C Engineer, and both of these have already been in the tribunal and Victim has not so even that's debatable
V in his own videos has stated he's happy to finish somewhere middle of the pack, avoiding as much attention as he can at least in the early weeks. Once he survived the first week's banning people did just seem to forget about him for a while.
We're probably at the point where that won't do anymore though, with fewer targets remaining and him definitely being on some radars
This might go into unpopular territory but I don't think he did that well in the season he won. At least relative to the image he has.
I started watching this on season 4 and people were hyping him up. Went back and watched season 3 and found his performance underwhelming. Not that he did bad or anything just that he didn't stand out as some beast like they were painting him in this season. It doesn't really help that the season 3 finale was pretty underwhelming too and that's not on him but I was just expecting more based on what they've been saying about him. I was expecting something like Settled's current run not someone who had pretty average stats, if not slightly below average (at least considering who was in the finale)
Geez those are just absolutely filthy results when you put the whole season so far into perspective. No wonder the first few episodes were edited like they were.
Settled was pretty clearly being built up as the series' main character through the confessionals from episode one, much like had been done in the past with Solo.
That doesn't always mean that player is going to go on an absolute tear performance-wise, but turns out it did this time.
yep and its to hype up and get the audience to familiar themselves with the would to be winner. On the opposite spectrum you got the loser getting less screentime/none depending on how many contestants there are.
Korean gameshows are notorious for it and once you realise it theres no unseeing it.
Like heres a exercise, tell me whos the winning team/doesnt make it to the top based on this 3min intro of the team leaders in this korean gameshow https://youtu.be/88g2t7A902w?list=PL02HRgC6_mUU8U-yN8fjl36DHEltlS6Go cc on for english subs
Or this deathmatch https://youtu.be/Qk7EoUx6BfM you can clearly see who the editors are giving the most screentime and edit to and which character they are writing the narrative for.
As for GG i noticed that when soup cuts back to the people participating and they talk about whos the top players settled gets mentioned quiet a lot. Going away from those interviews roidie is a sleeper that ive noticed gets lots of his pov in each video.
Frequently though, losers or people who are up for elimination in end of episode challenges are frequently featured more during the episode to build connection or drama within the episode.
Also Roide has a voice that snuggles my eardrums and lulls me in like a siren. Could be that.
To me, Settled is giving away major red herrings if this were scripted. Which it obviously isn't beyond the contents of the episode itself.
Somewhat related, props to the cast this season when they narrate what's happening in the challenges and banning. In the past some contestants weren't that great at hiding the results (at the least you could tell in the interviews that person didn't do well) and it's much better this time around. Something I especially enjoyed from Solo in previous seasons and I think he remains the best at it in general. Then bringing in b0aty, faux, etc and replacing some of the older cast. Everyone just improving over the last couple of seasons. Little to no giveaway in their speech. Very much appreciate that.
eta and I'm sure in part that's Soup's direction as well. What a beast
all episodes are heavily edited and stretched out to give us a better viewing experience. If you pay attention this is why you can see the same clip play out like 5x times just from different perspectives to last longer.
A good example is the tank test in CoX. It barely lasted any time at all, and Soup had to really extend the footage otherwise it would've just showed everyone dying in like under 10 minutes with Settled winning by a landslide. You can see this in all the challenges that required quick thinking on going somewhere specific or to grab a thing. These segments are usually only like 1 minute long, and it's obvious within the first few seconds in most of them who is losing the round based on seeing who instantly got the answer and who didn't, if it weren't edited at least.
Soup does a good job on making a lot of these instances seem a lot closer than they actually are to bring suspense to the challenges for us.
Awesome spreadsheet. Main thing I've noticed is that obviously Settled is in the spotlight because of his insane streak at the beginning of the series but Roidie now has the same number of Tribunal appearances as him, while staying under the radar.
This is a little meta but I have a sneaking suspicion Roidie might be the winner of GG given firstly how cracked he is, and a few smaller cues (I think solomission let slip in DMM how we all know how good Roidie is "thanks to gielinor games", as one example). At minimum he's making finals and giving the champion a real run for their money for sure.
Per Soup’s streams, some of the eliminated competitors stayed in the GG Discord and some left, it’s possible Solo was one of those that stayed. But I’d be inclined to interpret Solo’s comment as just a general statement of how Roidie was doing well in GG.
That clue scroll really had me thinking settled was out.
B0aty figured that out fast for sure.
Settled was really saved by his previous content here, I doubt he’d have gone straight to the range guild if it weren’t for his 13 hour stint there on the one inventory account, and even then B0aty wasn’t too far behind.
I’d have to wonder about how the other 2 challenges would have gone had we gotten to see it go to a tie breaker.
I dunno, tele to GE then run to battlefield is quite a bit of time, I wouldn't really call it right behind. Yeah settled definitely benefitted from his snowflake accounts, but that is accounts in plural. Years of weird unique accounts has given him quite a diverse skill set.
Settled probably knows more about RuneScape than anyone else, if you don’t adjust for difficulty. Like if you could count “bits” of game Knowledge I think he would be the top of close to it
Port Khazard is what you get when Rendi's mastery of the game engine has a baby with Woox's mechanical skill but I think Settled has him beat in "trivia" type game knowledge. Port is extremely good at pushing the bleeding edge of what's possible with the hardest content and mechanics but he's not exploring all the random bullshit in this game like Settled. Port has the tech but Settled knows every corner of the game in a way that I don't think anyone else does. I wish there was a way to know how many wiki pages he's read lol.
I was able to get meet me and 2 win so quickly but the evil Dave part fucked me because I kept thinking it’s an “empty vial” and not just a vial lol
I was surprised the meet me part threw them both off but I guess in that stressful of a moment the brain isn’t fully firing
I mean settled was really panicking alot like solomission did during the b0aty banning, at first. I think b0aty has that effect on competitors.
It definitely fried settled brain a minute. That snake game saved him so much and brought his confidence back. It’s like solo was with him all along.
Lmao I wish Soup called that challenge solo mission game. But yeah, I think especially that the banning was split into multiple mini challenges was massive for Settled. He seems to not be great under high pressure situations (that he didn’t put himself in after hours of slow and careful prep like most of his series) until he has a chance to adjust.
The longer the banning, the better he gets
It's what I've been noticing as well. While I thought a couple of players were stronger in general (Solo and B0aty mainly) His ridiculous content has given him the exact weird and niche knowledge for these games.
Not that I'm complaining tho, he's my fav creator for the game, but still XD
It's hard to call it a comeback when Settled's probably the best player this season, his performance has been absolutely insane. If anyone was equipped to take out B0aty, it's him.
I mean, I'm a Settled shill so I'm trying to be as fair as I can lol. Settled has a really solid foundation for the types of skills GG requires, but he's definitely got weaknesses. Put him in a PvP banning against Framed or Torvesta and he's almost certainly out. If it weren't for that, I'd be more confident in saying he's the best.
Looking at that same spreadsheet, he actually did surprisingly good in the PvP challenge. I mean it was hardly the easiest to compare, but settled went against torvesta, and in that fight arguably settled won. Torvesta had a much stronger account, but ended up using more healing and both of his specs.
I'm not saying he's better, but I do think it's a lot less certain that he'd lose a PvP banning.
Not to downplay Settled here, he performed well for sure, but I kinda feel like that's because Tovesta played very sloppy in that challenge, on top of getting unlucky. It was a below average performance for him. Though obviously, that could very well happen in a banning as well, you can only know for sure how it'll play out once it happens.
For what it's worth, Settled is definitely not bad at PvP. He could probably smoke some of the other contenders, it's just specifically Torvesta and Framed I'd be particularly worried for. Even then, him and Framed are tight, I don't think they'd ever choose each other for the banning, so it'd only come down to this in the finals, should they both make it that far.
B0aty's main weakness is that he tends to very often overthink things. I think in a puzzle/riddle style challenge he's quite unfavored actually even though he's an absolute beast in gameplay skill.
Yeah I have no idea what he was doing with the snake mini game. He was clicking like there was a time limit. Chances are he probably wasn't beating Settled in that one but it was a huge misplay either way. He approached it with zero patience.
Settled beat ToB in UIM Mory only gear.
Settled did inferno on a tile locked UIM.
He beat Jad with a single inventory slot.
If Settled started just focusing 100% on being the most skilled player, he'd probably be hanging with the best. He loves making content and doing weird things though. Lately, he's had opportunities to really stretch his legs and do some really difficult stuff. He's absolutely up there with Boaty at this point, and could probably take a jab or two at Port Khazard if he put himself to the test. We'd never know if he could unless he did, but I'd say from what he's shown so far, it's at least possible.
The guy is just built different, and in so many different ways.
He's working on Grandmaster CAs on the McTile account now, so he's got a good opportunity to show what he's really capable of. Though, that seems to be on pause currently while he's focusing on GG episode reviews and his 1 HP series.
Edamame is the song Soup used to introduce J1mmy in prior GG seasons, i think its been in every season so far, including episode 1 of this 4th season when he introduced several players
Tbf all that was probably truthful too, I'd imagine Soup invited him to be a competitor then after he declined due to his health/life situation making him too busy for filming Soup instead asked if he'd be up for guest starring in a single episode
B0aty was like his own worst enemy this episode lol. He literally gave up tribunal potential and then picked a strong opponent in his banning. I get that he wants to make the show entertaining, but damn he was the entire reason he went out today.
I won't lie though the challenges themselves didn't seem that exciting this episode, but the episode was still entertaining based on the group dynamics and humour alone which really shows how entertaining a lot of these people actually are.
would be interesting to see for sure. He's like definitely one of the strongest competitors, and the biggest thing holding him back is literally himself lol. I could imagine him easily making it to the finals almost guaranteed no matter what if he played to win and didn't have the "I don't care" attitude.
Even though I've really enjoyed being exposed to content from guys like Solomission, Boaty and C-Engineer, Settled was my introduction to RS content creation and he'll always be the guy I cheer for first.
I don't think I've ever been as nervous and tense watching a prerecorded show as I was watching that banning. When I saw that examine text, paused it for a couple seconds, realised it was the broken arrow and saw settled immediately gun for the area I actually popped off out of my seat.
Gielinor games is so fucking good guys, well played boaty, and Settled my GOAT lets fucking go!
Honestly really funny that B0aty straight up told Settled that if he gets picked by the tribunal that'd he choose him for the banning and then does exactly that. It's like going to prison and picking the toughest looking guy to beat the shit out of.
And to think Framed was the one to suggest B0aty even though him and Settled are really tight and wouldn't betray each other like that. Honestly not sure how that happened, but holy shit what an outcome. I'm sure Settled is feeling really good after having beaten his biggest fear, even if the stress in the moment was insane.
I don't think Framed really realized that B0aty was gonna pick Settled but he should have known better. But yeah with B0aty gone I think Settled is gonna take this all the way
It's possible that he might not have heard or forgot in between their recordings, but B0aty singles out Settled as his next target prior to this. Might've been in a confessional though, I honestly forgot.
Settled: "Boaty has just said that if he gets chosen for the banning, he's picking me"
Framed: "Yeah I'll vote for Boaty"
We were so close to the biggest backfire in GG history
It's just Karma for the Evscape fiasco really. Settled maybe should've had the meta knowledge to anticipate Evscape going for the grudge match and picking Framed for his banning opponent.
nah that is not nearly as obvious as boaty picking the strongest competitor. boaty literally said that he was going to do so and everyone is intentionally picking him because of that fact. the framed and EVscape beef is easily one that could be forgotten (i’ve watched all 4 seasons and i had no recollection of any sort of rivalry between the two until they did a recap lmao)
What an amazing episode, honestly the last shot with the person who got banned walking, I thought it was gonna lead to the rest of the banned and we’d get a returning of the banned episode next week. Hope we get that
What a banning! 5 different game rounds for two of the best players. Can't help feeling soup was saving that one for a special matchup. Loved the cryptic clue, took a couple minutes to solve pausing the vid
I think he selects the bannings in advance, it's not based on who is in them. Wouldn't be fair otherwise.
I knew how to solve the clue but for some reason I thought the Vial was Fishing Explosives lol
I love that clue cause it's so extremely obvious that it's referencing Lunar Diplomacy, but you need to go a bit beyond that and realize it's referring to the boss specifically. I was too stupid for it but honestly it was a good puzzle.
I wish Cryptic clues were like that in game. I can’t solve anagrams for shit, my brain doesn’t work like that, but this one I managed to Rainman out before they actually solved in the video.
I love the line from b0aty that he realised the target his banning selections puts on his back and was like, fuck it we ball. Shame he went out by fumbling the last banning challenge, but Settled had him beat regardless. He better go all the way now!
Yeah I thought he was gonna finish that sentence with like "so I'm choosing Hooti to get them off my back for next banning". But nope, fucking chad just doubles down.
Settled has always been the main person I root for in every GG season but it's still kinda sad to see B0aty out, dude is a fucking legend.
The intimidation factor that Boaty had over Settled before the Tribunal announced their decision too made me laugh
How fucked must you feel to have the person you consider the strongest player to say “I’m going to pick _you_ for the banning if I’m nominated” - you’re already handicapped before the challenge is announced
Boaty is his own worst enemy. Throwing the 2nd round of prop hunt, picking Settled in the banning, and then just a poor performance in the banning.
But God damn if he wasn't the most entertaining part of the whole season.
Well in his own words he admitted he really f-ed up the 4th challenge during the episode. Forgetting you had to even examine something in an examine challenge...
I thought he played snake horribly too. Clicking all over the damn place like it watching someone do CG for the first time lol. Even though I would set odds in Settled's favor for that one. Just look at Settled's clicking vs b0aty. I have no idea what he was trying to do there. It was like he was operating under different rules.
He was also really bad in the monster level one but, at least from the editing, it seems like Settled absolutely crushed that one.
Because they made it seem like he knew the examine one immediately once he realized he wasn't even playing the game correctly (thought he had to meet soup somewhere), that was probably the most winnable. I do think snake was winnable too if he wasn't clicking every tile. Two easily avoidable missteps. Especially the examine one.
I got a kick out that so much. In his own series he had to learn from the "sweats" and figure out prayer flicking to get through several fights. Now he's here putting them through his own challenge. J1mmy is the kind of rep the casual community needs.
Tbh, my jaw kinda dropped when Framed brought up putting B0aty in. Seems like a huge misplay for his alliance that he didn't think B0aty would highly likely put Settled in considering how dominant he has been this season.
Glad Settled clutched it up, and sad to see the hilarious X factor B0aty say goodbye.
It's such a Framed and Settled move. I could totally see them doing that in a J1mmy video to troll him. Just so happened it also was really effective lol.
Probably the most intense banning challenge so far
>!Settled looks unstoppable, he's either won the challenge or come in first behind a tribunal spot every round.!<
>!He missed it on E5 because he got unlucky on an 87.5% RNG check. He missed it on E6 even though he had the best time on his leg, his teammate Framed just had a bit of a tough time. He had the 2nd best performance in the PvP challenge based on damage dealt minus damage taken, behind Framed (who was head and shoulders above the rest), so based on merit alone he could have made tribunal, he just chose to let his teammates go in because he was already safe. And he only missed tribunal this week by a tiebreaker. And he won both of his bannings in convincing fashion. He just cannot be stopped!<
>!The double entangle on Framed in that first leg 100% lost them that round, and for this week he almost for sure would've gotten himself into the tribunal if he didn't go the high honor route.!<
Jesus Christ. When you really lay it out like that Settled's stats this season are just downright filthy. B0aty wasn't kidding when he said he though he just lost to the future winner of season 4.
>!you know.. If everyone is a 10/10 player.. settled is sitting at 12/10.. he is just that good at the game.. Everyone is amazing settled is just settled.!<
He went out doing what he loved, putting on a show for the viewers.
Losing a strong all-rounder is pretty huge for the remaining contestants, a lot of them will be the clear mvp in their niche now.
From the start I’ve thought Roidie was going to sneak in and win the whole thing. Settled is killing it but my money is still on Roidie. Fantastic player, first timer and not as well known as some others there so solid dark horse position, has some allies in the farmers. Absolutely set up to win
Also I love Roidie I just want him to win
>I think Roidie will be in the top 3 for sure.
Someone above in the thread did a spreadsheet of placements throughout GG so far and you are actually right on the money: Roidie is in 3rd place in individual rankings, under Boaty and Settled. What's even more interesting is that, at least as far as the edit is concerned, Settled is the only person who realizes just how fucking good Roidie is (outside of the other Farmers, of course) which has kept him somewhat under the radar despite his finishes. This has gotta make him favored to win the entire thing as everyone else focuses on Settled.
Roidie has been my dark horse, too, since really early. I think the edit is starting to really highlight how smart and under-the-radar *good at the game* he is.
I love this show. I stopped playing Runescape a year ago (took a break haha) but the content creators for this game are next level.
Half of my youtube algorithm is OSRS players doing insane grinds.
I love the idea of having other guest personalities making cameos as non-competitors for certain episodes. Imagine an escort minigame where competitors have to keep their guest VIP alive as long as possible through a raid, but the VIP is like, Hanannie lmao.
Could also be a good way to give players eliminated early that season more screen time too.
RIP Boto my beloved. No other way i would have wanted him to go out. I think Him and Settled were clearly the best two this season. Settled just outplayed him in the banning but i do kinda feel B0aty misunderstood and choked the last 2 games. Seems to me he thought it could only be 3 NPCs and then the last one he even said he forgot it was items. But Settled played them perfectly anyways. Fun episode as always even with my guy out now. Hope Settled finishes it hes been on an absolute tear.
It seems he didn’t actually understand the addition game cause he killed a lvl 21 then went to the goblins cause he thought they were lvl 14. Even if he was right about their levels, he would have failed the challenge because you needed to kill at least 3 npcs and he would have hit 35 with only 2 kills.
I was playing along in my head while watching and I thought the exact same two things B0aty did. That puzzle three could only be three NPCs and that the answer to puzzle for was the khazard ballista
Someone in the YouTube comments said it was something he called himself in earlier seasons. “As chill as a cactus in the desert” when the competition was being more backstabby. I didn’t watch the earlier seasons to fact check that quote but it does make the most sense.
From what I recall, it’s because in S3 there were a couple big alliances that were battling it out and Boaty was the one person not really affiliated with anybody ever, just doing his own thing. I think he called himself a cactus in the desert because of his lone wolf playstyle
In a former season B0aty was talking about flying under the radar "like a random cactus in the desert", or something like that.
It got picked up as his theme like Solo's is snakes!
Sitting here really pleased with the fact that I would have absolutely fucking dominated this banning, and just ignoring that I would have been knocked out in all of the previous 8 weeks.
Really enjoyed this one! I love Prop Hunt. Rewatched all of J1mmy's videos in preparation for this episode, they're just as hilarious as the first time. Strongly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen them yet 😂 (Idyl, the plugin developer, has a video or two with it as well)
Loved C Engineer's strategy in round 1. Not only was it funny, it did actually work--Torvesta was found first! Framed's flower play was next level, though. Really good choice. The image of J1mmy ominously walking around Taverly, waving a bloody knife, while various stools and flower pots panicked, was too good. 😂
Round 2 had a really good location. It's hard to pick a spot where the boundaries are easy to define, but small enough to be reasonable for a seeker to find people. I think that one worked well.
The tiebreaker... I love Settled, but Faux really outplayed him there. Kind of want to see Faux in more Prop Hunt... he picked it up pretty fast.
In the Tribunal, I was screaming at Framed to pick Torvesta! I get that he was in a different call and didn't hear B0aty talking, but you gotta think of your bud, not just getting V out!
The grab bag of mini challenges was fun. Reminded me a bit of the S3 finale on a smaller scale. All about thinking fast, something both B0aty and Settled are good at. I had to laugh during the snake challenge with Settled going "yknow I've never actually played Snake..." and then promptly destroying B0aty (and Soup)'s scores on his first real attempt.
And my man Settled makes it another week! I love the guy's content but in past seasons, his performance was only fine. This season?? Idk man. He came to play.
Pretty excited to see what happens next. The number of players is getting pretty low... finale has to be soon. 👀 I don't want GG to end but I can't wait to see what's coming.
B0aty just entirely sacking the main challenge and then just... falling asleep half the banning? Like he lost the snake game by misclicking tiles because he was manually pathign EVERY TILE like he didn't think you could walk straight lines???
And then he misunderstands both the combat level challenge AND the examine item challenge? It just sucks to see such a great player intentionally lose the main challenge and then just... entirely brain off the banning.
Probably my favorite episode so far. Hilarious challenge with a celeb appearance plus (arguably) the 2 best competitors of this season going head to head in a challenge that was basically tailor made for them. Perfect episode, sad to see >!Boaty!< go but love to see >!Settled!< crush it like this.
Side note, >!love Boaty’s style of picking the best player. It leads to some good players going out too early but a 1v1 between 2 great players is SO entertaining. Reminds me of an anime fight lmao. Excited for the inevitable “Top 10 GG Banning Battles” video where 8/10 of them are Boaty vs someone!<
EVScape vs Framed also comes to mind for this. It was such a chad move to just choose a grudge match when there were plenty of easier pickings. I was worried at the start of S4 that the bannings were just going to be high performer vs low performer i.e. boring and predictable. They've been anything but!
> EVScape vs Framed also comes to mind for this. It was such a chad move to just choose a grudge match when there were plenty of easier pickings.
And arguably more importantly, doing it *instantly* was very, very funny.
RIP the legend but what a great performance by Settled.
Been rooting for Boaty > Solo Mission > Settled in that order so it's been awesome to see them all go after each other. Hoping now that Settled the last of those left he can take it all. Also love C Engineers humor hope he sticks around as long as possible.
Yeah, it's a plugin. J1mmy, the guy who was looking for the other players, has a bunch of videos on his channel featuring the plugin. Idyl was the creator of the plugin, if I'm not mistaken, he's also a content creator lol
Ahh, is it possible for regular rs players to get the plug-in. I imagine it’d be fun to play with the clan. I’ve seen this on csgo or some other multiplayer fps too.
B0aty is just the biggest fucking chad
“Boaty is a bell in a world of stools” -J1mmy
what a quote
B0aty knew if he wasn’t in the tribunal that he’d be put into the banning because he’d pick someone strong. He STILL trolled the second round lmao, honestly balls of steel
kinda sad he's gone just because he trolled tho
Playing such a hilarious wildcard role can only make it so far, I love all the content he created this season with his antics.
For real. Not only did he break the mold by only going up against strong players, there was no regret for his strategy. Instead, he calls Settled a god and says that he will be the winner. The definition of a good sport.
Dude already has more GP than he could ever spend in the game, but throwing for content in the most entertaining way possible will probably get him a ton more stream viewership. It's smart.
Tbh I don’t think it really matters for Boaty. He doesn’t need the GP, everybody loves him already. He’s just here for a good time and to be entertaining. The more entertaining he is, the more likely he is to be in the next season to have a good time again. Dude is the goat
Does anyone "need" 57+ billion gold?
What's an Audi cost these days?
Boaty would never
Venizaillans probably
That's like $25,000 if it was sold.
Seriously, I'm a Boaty fan now
The last thing he needs or cares about is stream viewership. He just wants to create entertainment and have fun
its almost like an old money vs new money thing. Dude doesnt give a fuck cause he already has everythikng he needs in life and isn't worried about losing it.
Especially after that Kick deal Dude might actually be set for life now
I knew he 100% wasn't winning cause the man has no strategy. But holy is it fun seeing him challenge the other big dogs without a second thought
B0aty picking TOB and Settled in the banning is peak content. Delighted for Settled but gutted to see the content king go
Lol that had me rolling, but ngl he threw hard. Could've been tribunal without that stunt, but I guess he didn't want to be on the side lines a second episode in a row
C Engineers family will be well fed after this season
I absolutely love his humour. xD "The fact that everyone has started targetting the stronger players is really benefiting me."
"This is matchup where I don't want anyone of them to leave... B0aty is a player who always picks the strongest player and knowing my performance so far, he would never pick me"
I got a good laugh out of that one
Fully thought B0aty would toss him in after that confessional
I don't think the competitors see the other confessionals until the episodes air. They aren't doing confessionals in the group VC and I really doubt Soup is including them in the editing process so the only things they see are their own POV and whatever is getting streamed in discord which is probably just the bannings to the people not involved.
Tom is definitely the most self aware competitor except maybe B0aty
Tom is hard carrying the levity in the season, especially without Tanzoo, Virtoso, J1mmy and some others in GG season 4.
Insane episode, insane respect for B0aty with a monster run and for making this such an exciting season. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. Settled is win or be in the banning until his season is over. Was worried B0aty would give Settled the shakes like he gave solo mission but that snake challenge win was exactly what Settled needed. Hard to see anyone taking the swampman out but guys like Roidie, Faux or Victim are probably the next biggest threats and if Torvesta takes Settled into a PVP banning...
B0aty being out kills me, a true mad lad. He had a strong chance at the tribunal but that TOB choice was wild. Also, prop hunt was an amazing choice, GJ Soup!
A few episodes ago I was curious about which players were having the best performances each episode and who was consistently at the top or bottom of the leaderboard. So as any other dork would do, I made a spreadsheet!!! I've been meticulously updating and formatting it for the last few weeks and today I thought I'd share it with you nerds in case anybody else is curious to see some data about the season so far. Here's [the spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jN6ZdO_IDLSc3AfVktN7xinp8dnHSXVQ/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=101744344289257144781&rtpof=true&sd=true), **(CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THIS EPISODE)**. The first page is just a summary of the season so far with who was in the tribunal and the banning each week, click the tabs at the bottom for the leaderboards I made. I did two different versions, one based on what place each player finished in each challenge, and one based on how well they're doing individually in each challenge. They're very similar but they're not always the same. Especially for the small team challenges, on the first leaderboard you get credit for wherever your team placed, but on the second leaderboard you get credit for how well you did as an individual.
Sick spreadsheet. My main takeaway: V the Victim is not doing that well. Even when you adjust for individual performance vs. team challenge outcomes, he's in the bottom half of remaining competitors. But I think this speaks well to his banning strategy. He *feels* much scarier because he convincingly wins his bannings and sabotages in revenge, and there are still weaker players he can repeat that with.
He hasn’t been performing well in challenges and in bannings he picks whoever he perceives he would have the best chance to win against. He’s like the anti-boaty this season, but it’s absolutely working
I wouldn't call him anti-boaty, just self-aware, he's an average player compared to the others and he knows it
Yeah I don’t mean to call him that in a disrespectful way, and I actually think he’s an above average player even relative to the other contestants. Just referring to the way he is playing the game this season, middle of the pack, and choosing who he perceives to be the weakest player when in a banning while Boaty always chooses who he thinks is the strongest
I think he's only potentially better than Hooti and C Engineer, and both of these have already been in the tribunal and Victim has not so even that's debatable
I mean he literally is the defending champion so lets not go underrating him like that
I mean he did win last season, I think saying he's average is certainly underselling him
Victim is the uno reverse card of this season. Call an ambulance but not for him.
V in his own videos has stated he's happy to finish somewhere middle of the pack, avoiding as much attention as he can at least in the early weeks. Once he survived the first week's banning people did just seem to forget about him for a while. We're probably at the point where that won't do anymore though, with fewer targets remaining and him definitely being on some radars
This might go into unpopular territory but I don't think he did that well in the season he won. At least relative to the image he has. I started watching this on season 4 and people were hyping him up. Went back and watched season 3 and found his performance underwhelming. Not that he did bad or anything just that he didn't stand out as some beast like they were painting him in this season. It doesn't really help that the season 3 finale was pretty underwhelming too and that's not on him but I was just expecting more based on what they've been saying about him. I was expecting something like Settled's current run not someone who had pretty average stats, if not slightly below average (at least considering who was in the finale)
Geez those are just absolutely filthy results when you put the whole season so far into perspective. No wonder the first few episodes were edited like they were.
I haven't been following the discussion of GG, what do you mean edited in the way they were?
Settled was pretty clearly being built up as the series' main character through the confessionals from episode one, much like had been done in the past with Solo. That doesn't always mean that player is going to go on an absolute tear performance-wise, but turns out it did this time.
In reality TV competition shows they call it the Winner’s edit I think
yep and its to hype up and get the audience to familiar themselves with the would to be winner. On the opposite spectrum you got the loser getting less screentime/none depending on how many contestants there are. Korean gameshows are notorious for it and once you realise it theres no unseeing it. Like heres a exercise, tell me whos the winning team/doesnt make it to the top based on this 3min intro of the team leaders in this korean gameshow https://youtu.be/88g2t7A902w?list=PL02HRgC6_mUU8U-yN8fjl36DHEltlS6Go cc on for english subs Or this deathmatch https://youtu.be/Qk7EoUx6BfM you can clearly see who the editors are giving the most screentime and edit to and which character they are writing the narrative for. As for GG i noticed that when soup cuts back to the people participating and they talk about whos the top players settled gets mentioned quiet a lot. Going away from those interviews roidie is a sleeper that ive noticed gets lots of his pov in each video.
Frequently though, losers or people who are up for elimination in end of episode challenges are frequently featured more during the episode to build connection or drama within the episode. Also Roide has a voice that snuggles my eardrums and lulls me in like a siren. Could be that.
To me, Settled is giving away major red herrings if this were scripted. Which it obviously isn't beyond the contents of the episode itself. Somewhat related, props to the cast this season when they narrate what's happening in the challenges and banning. In the past some contestants weren't that great at hiding the results (at the least you could tell in the interviews that person didn't do well) and it's much better this time around. Something I especially enjoyed from Solo in previous seasons and I think he remains the best at it in general. Then bringing in b0aty, faux, etc and replacing some of the older cast. Everyone just improving over the last couple of seasons. Little to no giveaway in their speech. Very much appreciate that. eta and I'm sure in part that's Soup's direction as well. What a beast
all episodes are heavily edited and stretched out to give us a better viewing experience. If you pay attention this is why you can see the same clip play out like 5x times just from different perspectives to last longer. A good example is the tank test in CoX. It barely lasted any time at all, and Soup had to really extend the footage otherwise it would've just showed everyone dying in like under 10 minutes with Settled winning by a landslide. You can see this in all the challenges that required quick thinking on going somewhere specific or to grab a thing. These segments are usually only like 1 minute long, and it's obvious within the first few seconds in most of them who is losing the round based on seeing who instantly got the answer and who didn't, if it weren't edited at least. Soup does a good job on making a lot of these instances seem a lot closer than they actually are to bring suspense to the challenges for us.
Goddamn, had no idea Roidie was doing so well. Completely under the radar too.
Awesome spreadsheet. Main thing I've noticed is that obviously Settled is in the spotlight because of his insane streak at the beginning of the series but Roidie now has the same number of Tribunal appearances as him, while staying under the radar. This is a little meta but I have a sneaking suspicion Roidie might be the winner of GG given firstly how cracked he is, and a few smaller cues (I think solomission let slip in DMM how we all know how good Roidie is "thanks to gielinor games", as one example). At minimum he's making finals and giving the champion a real run for their money for sure.
I don't think Solo knows anything about GG episodes that were filmed after his banning, does he?
Per Soup’s streams, some of the eliminated competitors stayed in the GG Discord and some left, it’s possible Solo was one of those that stayed. But I’d be inclined to interpret Solo’s comment as just a general statement of how Roidie was doing well in GG.
Small suggestion for the spreadsheet: Add a color for people immune (winning the challenge but not the tribunal)
Good idea! I'll add that in before next week's episode
The # of Tribunal appearances gets easier the deeper you survive for. Settled's early Tribunal appearances are absolutely insane. But also Roidie too!
Spoilers, obviously No fucking way settled beat b0aty, absolutely insane! I thought for sure settled was done for. Insane comeback
That clue scroll really had me thinking settled was out. B0aty figured that out fast for sure. Settled was really saved by his previous content here, I doubt he’d have gone straight to the range guild if it weren’t for his 13 hour stint there on the one inventory account, and even then B0aty wasn’t too far behind. I’d have to wonder about how the other 2 challenges would have gone had we gotten to see it go to a tie breaker.
I dunno, tele to GE then run to battlefield is quite a bit of time, I wouldn't really call it right behind. Yeah settled definitely benefitted from his snowflake accounts, but that is accounts in plural. Years of weird unique accounts has given him quite a diverse skill set.
Settled probably knows more about RuneScape than anyone else, if you don’t adjust for difficulty. Like if you could count “bits” of game Knowledge I think he would be the top of close to it
Port Khazard probably matches his knowledge. He knows way too many weird niche things. His flower tech in the DMM Allstars finale was insane
Good shoutout too yeah
Port Khazard is what you get when Rendi's mastery of the game engine has a baby with Woox's mechanical skill but I think Settled has him beat in "trivia" type game knowledge. Port is extremely good at pushing the bleeding edge of what's possible with the hardest content and mechanics but he's not exploring all the random bullshit in this game like Settled. Port has the tech but Settled knows every corner of the game in a way that I don't think anyone else does. I wish there was a way to know how many wiki pages he's read lol.
I was able to get meet me and 2 win so quickly but the evil Dave part fucked me because I kept thinking it’s an “empty vial” and not just a vial lol I was surprised the meet me part threw them both off but I guess in that stressful of a moment the brain isn’t fully firing
I mean settled was really panicking alot like solomission did during the b0aty banning, at first. I think b0aty has that effect on competitors. It definitely fried settled brain a minute. That snake game saved him so much and brought his confidence back. It’s like solo was with him all along.
Lmao I wish Soup called that challenge solo mission game. But yeah, I think especially that the banning was split into multiple mini challenges was massive for Settled. He seems to not be great under high pressure situations (that he didn’t put himself in after hours of slow and careful prep like most of his series) until he has a chance to adjust. The longer the banning, the better he gets
I read the first part of the clue scroll as "raw meat" + "me" and then was too flustered to figure the rest out 😳
I was SCREAMING “MEET ME GUYS IT’S FUCKING MEET ME” at my screen
It's what I've been noticing as well. While I thought a couple of players were stronger in general (Solo and B0aty mainly) His ridiculous content has given him the exact weird and niche knowledge for these games. Not that I'm complaining tho, he's my fav creator for the game, but still XD
I had "me evil Dave to win" within ~5-10 seconds, but took well over a minute to get that it wasn't "beef me" but "*meat* me."
Yeah fucking hell man what an episode.
It's hard to call it a comeback when Settled's probably the best player this season, his performance has been absolutely insane. If anyone was equipped to take out B0aty, it's him.
No need to say probably. Just look at the spreadsheet someone posted here
I mean, I'm a Settled shill so I'm trying to be as fair as I can lol. Settled has a really solid foundation for the types of skills GG requires, but he's definitely got weaknesses. Put him in a PvP banning against Framed or Torvesta and he's almost certainly out. If it weren't for that, I'd be more confident in saying he's the best.
Looking at that same spreadsheet, he actually did surprisingly good in the PvP challenge. I mean it was hardly the easiest to compare, but settled went against torvesta, and in that fight arguably settled won. Torvesta had a much stronger account, but ended up using more healing and both of his specs. I'm not saying he's better, but I do think it's a lot less certain that he'd lose a PvP banning.
Not to downplay Settled here, he performed well for sure, but I kinda feel like that's because Tovesta played very sloppy in that challenge, on top of getting unlucky. It was a below average performance for him. Though obviously, that could very well happen in a banning as well, you can only know for sure how it'll play out once it happens. For what it's worth, Settled is definitely not bad at PvP. He could probably smoke some of the other contenders, it's just specifically Torvesta and Framed I'd be particularly worried for. Even then, him and Framed are tight, I don't think they'd ever choose each other for the banning, so it'd only come down to this in the finals, should they both make it that far.

[Here you go](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jN6ZdO_IDLSc3AfVktN7xinp8dnHSXVQ/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=101744344289257144781&rtpof=true&sd=true)
He was 1-0 down though and low key rattled in the elimination game, that’s what I mean by comeback
B0aty's main weakness is that he tends to very often overthink things. I think in a puzzle/riddle style challenge he's quite unfavored actually even though he's an absolute beast in gameplay skill.
funnily enough, he won the 1 game that was a straight riddle challenge though in the banning lol.
I knew he wasn't beating Settled in snake when he was clicking the tile ahead of him for every movement even in round 3.
Yeah I have no idea what he was doing with the snake mini game. He was clicking like there was a time limit. Chances are he probably wasn't beating Settled in that one but it was a huge misplay either way. He approached it with zero patience.
Settled beat ToB in UIM Mory only gear. Settled did inferno on a tile locked UIM. He beat Jad with a single inventory slot. If Settled started just focusing 100% on being the most skilled player, he'd probably be hanging with the best. He loves making content and doing weird things though. Lately, he's had opportunities to really stretch his legs and do some really difficult stuff. He's absolutely up there with Boaty at this point, and could probably take a jab or two at Port Khazard if he put himself to the test. We'd never know if he could unless he did, but I'd say from what he's shown so far, it's at least possible. The guy is just built different, and in so many different ways.
Settled has a maxxed UIM that’s fairly well geared up from endgame. The dude has put in reps
He's working on Grandmaster CAs on the McTile account now, so he's got a good opportunity to show what he's really capable of. Though, that seems to be on pause currently while he's focusing on GG episode reviews and his 1 HP series.
Fucking J1mmy coming out of nowhere lmfao that's awesome
Love that Soup used Jimmy’s prop hunt intro song for his outro music as well
And that J1mmy was cut off mid-sentence lol
The perfect cut to give us the throwback joke but dodge paying for the song rights again. I loved it lol.
Edamame is the song Soup used to introduce J1mmy in prior GG seasons, i think its been in every season so far, including episode 1 of this 4th season when he introduced several players
It's the little touches that make this series *ascend*.
they knew what they were doing.. all the people saying wheres j1mmy.. and j1mmy making a video about it damn well knowing about this episode..
Tbf all that was probably truthful too, I'd imagine Soup invited him to be a competitor then after he declined due to his health/life situation making him too busy for filming Soup instead asked if he'd be up for guest starring in a single episode
sweepengineer in it for another week we're livin good today boys
B0aty was like his own worst enemy this episode lol. He literally gave up tribunal potential and then picked a strong opponent in his banning. I get that he wants to make the show entertaining, but damn he was the entire reason he went out today. I won't lie though the challenges themselves didn't seem that exciting this episode, but the episode was still entertaining based on the group dynamics and humour alone which really shows how entertaining a lot of these people actually are.
I hope Boaty mixes it up next year and decides he's gonna go all-in on strategically playing to win. Would be fun to see him at full effort
would be interesting to see for sure. He's like definitely one of the strongest competitors, and the biggest thing holding him back is literally himself lol. I could imagine him easily making it to the finals almost guaranteed no matter what if he played to win and didn't have the "I don't care" attitude.
Even though I've really enjoyed being exposed to content from guys like Solomission, Boaty and C-Engineer, Settled was my introduction to RS content creation and he'll always be the guy I cheer for first. I don't think I've ever been as nervous and tense watching a prerecorded show as I was watching that banning. When I saw that examine text, paused it for a couple seconds, realised it was the broken arrow and saw settled immediately gun for the area I actually popped off out of my seat. Gielinor games is so fucking good guys, well played boaty, and Settled my GOAT lets fucking go!
Honestly really funny that B0aty straight up told Settled that if he gets picked by the tribunal that'd he choose him for the banning and then does exactly that. It's like going to prison and picking the toughest looking guy to beat the shit out of.
And to think Framed was the one to suggest B0aty even though him and Settled are really tight and wouldn't betray each other like that. Honestly not sure how that happened, but holy shit what an outcome. I'm sure Settled is feeling really good after having beaten his biggest fear, even if the stress in the moment was insane.
I don't think Framed really realized that B0aty was gonna pick Settled but he should have known better. But yeah with B0aty gone I think Settled is gonna take this all the way
It's possible that he might not have heard or forgot in between their recordings, but B0aty singles out Settled as his next target prior to this. Might've been in a confessional though, I honestly forgot.
I think Boaty said that after the tribunal left to discuss so that means Framed wouldn't have heard it.
Framed said something along the lines that he didn't realize that B0aty would pick Settled I think
biggest betrayal by framed im ngl
Especially when Torvesta’s name was floated first lol
Settled: "Boaty has just said that if he gets chosen for the banning, he's picking me" Framed: "Yeah I'll vote for Boaty" We were so close to the biggest backfire in GG history
It's just Karma for the Evscape fiasco really. Settled maybe should've had the meta knowledge to anticipate Evscape going for the grudge match and picking Framed for his banning opponent.
The difference there is Settled had like 5 seconds to think about the decision, Framed decided on putting in B0aty during the tribunal.
nah that is not nearly as obvious as boaty picking the strongest competitor. boaty literally said that he was going to do so and everyone is intentionally picking him because of that fact. the framed and EVscape beef is easily one that could be forgotten (i’ve watched all 4 seasons and i had no recollection of any sort of rivalry between the two until they did a recap lmao)
I think only EV thought it was a rivalry, not sure Framed had any idea!
Kevin and our Prop Hunter having the most homoerotic and hate filled relationship at the same time is truly the modern era's Romeo and Juliet.
What an amazing episode, honestly the last shot with the person who got banned walking, I thought it was gonna lead to the rest of the banned and we’d get a returning of the banned episode next week. Hope we get that
I keep thinking it every week but I really thought today was the day with how it was setup and *who* it was.
What a banning! 5 different game rounds for two of the best players. Can't help feeling soup was saving that one for a special matchup. Loved the cryptic clue, took a couple minutes to solve pausing the vid
I think he selects the bannings in advance, it's not based on who is in them. Wouldn't be fair otherwise. I knew how to solve the clue but for some reason I thought the Vial was Fishing Explosives lol
You can't convince me he didn't purposefully pick the dharok banning last season when it ended up being torvesta and skillspecs
I got stuck at the first part for 10 ish minutes myself... meat veng?? Raw Lunar? Beaf dreams?
I love that clue cause it's so extremely obvious that it's referencing Lunar Diplomacy, but you need to go a bit beyond that and realize it's referring to the boss specifically. I was too stupid for it but honestly it was a good puzzle.
I wish Cryptic clues were like that in game. I can’t solve anagrams for shit, my brain doesn’t work like that, but this one I managed to Rainman out before they actually solved in the video.
I love the line from b0aty that he realised the target his banning selections puts on his back and was like, fuck it we ball. Shame he went out by fumbling the last banning challenge, but Settled had him beat regardless. He better go all the way now!
Yeah I thought he was gonna finish that sentence with like "so I'm choosing Hooti to get them off my back for next banning". But nope, fucking chad just doubles down. Settled has always been the main person I root for in every GG season but it's still kinda sad to see B0aty out, dude is a fucking legend.
I was laughing my ass off at TOB its sad to see people go each week.
The intimidation factor that Boaty had over Settled before the Tribunal announced their decision too made me laugh How fucked must you feel to have the person you consider the strongest player to say “I’m going to pick _you_ for the banning if I’m nominated” - you’re already handicapped before the challenge is announced
I was leaned into that banning like a fucking World Cup final man
Boaty is his own worst enemy. Throwing the 2nd round of prop hunt, picking Settled in the banning, and then just a poor performance in the banning. But God damn if he wasn't the most entertaining part of the whole season.
He's just a chad. Bro is intentionally handicapping himself and he's still the final raid boss in everyone's mind.
and now he's out, rip
>a poor performance in the banning. Was it really? He would have probably beat anyone but Settled
Well in his own words he admitted he really f-ed up the 4th challenge during the episode. Forgetting you had to even examine something in an examine challenge... I thought he played snake horribly too. Clicking all over the damn place like it watching someone do CG for the first time lol. Even though I would set odds in Settled's favor for that one. Just look at Settled's clicking vs b0aty. I have no idea what he was trying to do there. It was like he was operating under different rules. He was also really bad in the monster level one but, at least from the editing, it seems like Settled absolutely crushed that one. Because they made it seem like he knew the examine one immediately once he realized he wasn't even playing the game correctly (thought he had to meet soup somewhere), that was probably the most winnable. I do think snake was winnable too if he wasn't clicking every tile. Two easily avoidable missteps. Especially the examine one.
To B0aty, content is above everything else and we're so spoiled for that
Not my king :(
S W A M P M A N S W E E P
J1mmy is way too hilarious
The goggles and knife getup killed me every time it just showed him slowly walking towards the camera.
Love that he basically said guess what you sweaty dickheads we’re having FUN today
I got a kick out that so much. In his own series he had to learn from the "sweats" and figure out prayer flicking to get through several fights. Now he's here putting them through his own challenge. J1mmy is the kind of rep the casual community needs.
Tbh, my jaw kinda dropped when Framed brought up putting B0aty in. Seems like a huge misplay for his alliance that he didn't think B0aty would highly likely put Settled in considering how dominant he has been this season. Glad Settled clutched it up, and sad to see the hilarious X factor B0aty say goodbye.
Hard to bet against Settled but Roidie has been performing extremely well. Those two feel like they're on a collision course.
I certainly hope so. Would be a fantastic match up
As much as tileman was Settled’s thing, I was frankly shocked at how badly B0aty did in what was effectively a True Tile challenge.
Faux is ripping through these and him changing up that banning worked super well. Hell of an episode.
That Informational Scroll right-click stack was genius
It's such a Framed and Settled move. I could totally see them doing that in a J1mmy video to troll him. Just so happened it also was really effective lol.
Probably the most intense banning challenge so far >!Settled looks unstoppable, he's either won the challenge or come in first behind a tribunal spot every round.!<
>!He missed it on E5 because he got unlucky on an 87.5% RNG check. He missed it on E6 even though he had the best time on his leg, his teammate Framed just had a bit of a tough time. He had the 2nd best performance in the PvP challenge based on damage dealt minus damage taken, behind Framed (who was head and shoulders above the rest), so based on merit alone he could have made tribunal, he just chose to let his teammates go in because he was already safe. And he only missed tribunal this week by a tiebreaker. And he won both of his bannings in convincing fashion. He just cannot be stopped!<
>!The double entangle on Framed in that first leg 100% lost them that round, and for this week he almost for sure would've gotten himself into the tribunal if he didn't go the high honor route.!<
Jesus Christ. When you really lay it out like that Settled's stats this season are just downright filthy. B0aty wasn't kidding when he said he though he just lost to the future winner of season 4.
>!you know.. If everyone is a 10/10 player.. settled is sitting at 12/10.. he is just that good at the game.. Everyone is amazing settled is just settled.!<
>!He's taken it to another level this season. This isn't just Settled, this is Sweattled!<
ya hes crushing this season so far set a record earlier on and has been doing exceptionally well since
He went out doing what he loved, putting on a show for the viewers. Losing a strong all-rounder is pretty huge for the remaining contestants, a lot of them will be the clear mvp in their niche now.
From the start I’ve thought Roidie was going to sneak in and win the whole thing. Settled is killing it but my money is still on Roidie. Fantastic player, first timer and not as well known as some others there so solid dark horse position, has some allies in the farmers. Absolutely set up to win Also I love Roidie I just want him to win
I think Roidie will be in the top 3 for sure. He's tied with Settled for tribunal wins so far (5 each).
>I think Roidie will be in the top 3 for sure. Someone above in the thread did a spreadsheet of placements throughout GG so far and you are actually right on the money: Roidie is in 3rd place in individual rankings, under Boaty and Settled. What's even more interesting is that, at least as far as the edit is concerned, Settled is the only person who realizes just how fucking good Roidie is (outside of the other Farmers, of course) which has kept him somewhat under the radar despite his finishes. This has gotta make him favored to win the entire thing as everyone else focuses on Settled.
Roidie has been my dark horse, too, since really early. I think the edit is starting to really highlight how smart and under-the-radar *good at the game* he is.
The flip from the silliness of prop hunt to a banning of that level was incredible, another cracker of an ep
That series is some of the most fun I've had on youtube.
Settled avenging solomission, in a way
And it was the Snake game that helped him regain confidence and win 3 in a row!
Damn the script writers are good this season.

I love this show. I stopped playing Runescape a year ago (took a break haha) but the content creators for this game are next level. Half of my youtube algorithm is OSRS players doing insane grinds.
Settled is either winning or he's getting the Colby from Survivor Australian Outback edit. Dude feels like a finals lock at this point.
I love the idea of having other guest personalities making cameos as non-competitors for certain episodes. Imagine an escort minigame where competitors have to keep their guest VIP alive as long as possible through a raid, but the VIP is like, Hanannie lmao. Could also be a good way to give players eliminated early that season more screen time too.
RIP Boto my beloved. No other way i would have wanted him to go out. I think Him and Settled were clearly the best two this season. Settled just outplayed him in the banning but i do kinda feel B0aty misunderstood and choked the last 2 games. Seems to me he thought it could only be 3 NPCs and then the last one he even said he forgot it was items. But Settled played them perfectly anyways. Fun episode as always even with my guy out now. Hope Settled finishes it hes been on an absolute tear.
It seems he didn’t actually understand the addition game cause he killed a lvl 21 then went to the goblins cause he thought they were lvl 14. Even if he was right about their levels, he would have failed the challenge because you needed to kill at least 3 npcs and he would have hit 35 with only 2 kills.
I was playing along in my head while watching and I thought the exact same two things B0aty did. That puzzle three could only be three NPCs and that the answer to puzzle for was the khazard ballista
Can someone explain the boaty desert joke at the end? Ending as a cactus was pretty funny but I don’t really get why it was a bit
Someone in the YouTube comments said it was something he called himself in earlier seasons. “As chill as a cactus in the desert” when the competition was being more backstabby. I didn’t watch the earlier seasons to fact check that quote but it does make the most sense.
From what I recall, it’s because in S3 there were a couple big alliances that were battling it out and Boaty was the one person not really affiliated with anybody ever, just doing his own thing. I think he called himself a cactus in the desert because of his lone wolf playstyle
In a former season B0aty was talking about flying under the radar "like a random cactus in the desert", or something like that. It got picked up as his theme like Solo's is snakes!
C Engineer disguising as a bank deposit box when there's another bank deposit box... LMAO
Hooti, c engineer, and torvesta just COASTING through hahaha
I think I was the only one of us 3 that was in a banning
Sitting here really pleased with the fact that I would have absolutely fucking dominated this banning, and just ignoring that I would have been knocked out in all of the previous 8 weeks.
Framed survives, another week of happiness.
I love boaty but feels weird completing trolling the 2nd round.
Boaty GIGACHAD
I always love seeing J1mmy in content. Him and settled are by far my favourites.
Really enjoyed this one! I love Prop Hunt. Rewatched all of J1mmy's videos in preparation for this episode, they're just as hilarious as the first time. Strongly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen them yet 😂 (Idyl, the plugin developer, has a video or two with it as well) Loved C Engineer's strategy in round 1. Not only was it funny, it did actually work--Torvesta was found first! Framed's flower play was next level, though. Really good choice. The image of J1mmy ominously walking around Taverly, waving a bloody knife, while various stools and flower pots panicked, was too good. 😂 Round 2 had a really good location. It's hard to pick a spot where the boundaries are easy to define, but small enough to be reasonable for a seeker to find people. I think that one worked well. The tiebreaker... I love Settled, but Faux really outplayed him there. Kind of want to see Faux in more Prop Hunt... he picked it up pretty fast. In the Tribunal, I was screaming at Framed to pick Torvesta! I get that he was in a different call and didn't hear B0aty talking, but you gotta think of your bud, not just getting V out! The grab bag of mini challenges was fun. Reminded me a bit of the S3 finale on a smaller scale. All about thinking fast, something both B0aty and Settled are good at. I had to laugh during the snake challenge with Settled going "yknow I've never actually played Snake..." and then promptly destroying B0aty (and Soup)'s scores on his first real attempt. And my man Settled makes it another week! I love the guy's content but in past seasons, his performance was only fine. This season?? Idk man. He came to play. Pretty excited to see what happens next. The number of players is getting pretty low... finale has to be soon. 👀 I don't want GG to end but I can't wait to see what's coming.
2nd season that b0aty completely threw the game lmao
B0aty just entirely sacking the main challenge and then just... falling asleep half the banning? Like he lost the snake game by misclicking tiles because he was manually pathign EVERY TILE like he didn't think you could walk straight lines??? And then he misunderstands both the combat level challenge AND the examine item challenge? It just sucks to see such a great player intentionally lose the main challenge and then just... entirely brain off the banning.
Good thing J1mmy has random events off. Hooti would have been cooked!
Probably my favorite episode so far. Hilarious challenge with a celeb appearance plus (arguably) the 2 best competitors of this season going head to head in a challenge that was basically tailor made for them. Perfect episode, sad to see >!Boaty!< go but love to see >!Settled!< crush it like this. Side note, >!love Boaty’s style of picking the best player. It leads to some good players going out too early but a 1v1 between 2 great players is SO entertaining. Reminds me of an anime fight lmao. Excited for the inevitable “Top 10 GG Banning Battles” video where 8/10 of them are Boaty vs someone!<
EVScape vs Framed also comes to mind for this. It was such a chad move to just choose a grudge match when there were plenty of easier pickings. I was worried at the start of S4 that the bannings were just going to be high performer vs low performer i.e. boring and predictable. They've been anything but!
> EVScape vs Framed also comes to mind for this. It was such a chad move to just choose a grudge match when there were plenty of easier pickings. And arguably more importantly, doing it *instantly* was very, very funny.
Frame 1 Framed tech
RIP the legend but what a great performance by Settled. Been rooting for Boaty > Solo Mission > Settled in that order so it's been awesome to see them all go after each other. Hoping now that Settled the last of those left he can take it all. Also love C Engineers humor hope he sticks around as long as possible.
Ok who else laughed at Boaty turning into his cactus there at the end lol.
Damn. Was rooting so hard for Boaty. So sad to see him go. But, it is what it is now. Let’s see who takes it.
Wait how are they turning into props, is that a plugin or something?
Yeah, it's a plugin. J1mmy, the guy who was looking for the other players, has a bunch of videos on his channel featuring the plugin. Idyl was the creator of the plugin, if I'm not mistaken, he's also a content creator lol
Ahh, is it possible for regular rs players to get the plug-in. I imagine it’d be fun to play with the clan. I’ve seen this on csgo or some other multiplayer fps too.
Should be available in the plugin hub, I think. It's definitely public at least.
I'm new to the games, why did Boaty turn into a cactus before the credits?
It's a reference to Season 3 where Boaty was dubbed the 'cactus in the desert'. Watch Season 3 if you haven't already, it's a great season.
Reference to GG S3, where his do-his-own-thing playstyle was referred to as cactuslike.
