T7R2M5 Jojolity

Pour One Out For Judge Ken Nard (Arch)

As for Jojolities, I don’t have much to say, so I’ll be brief. I think both teams understood the assignment when forging their strats. Brick would’ve wanted a simple brawl, and both teams delivered splendidly! Beyond that, I appreciate that Esmond and Minali sought to understand and explore his philosophy of fighting. Thus, I’m giving them a 7! Well done!

Onto Amelia and Bonnie, it’s clear they infused Brick’s very being into the strat, going so far as to bring Brick into the fray one last time, sending him out as he lived. In their execution, Brick truly lives on, thus I’m giving an 8 Jojolity! Well done!

Sweet Dreams, Judge Andrew Lennox (Yuri)

Hi, it’s Judge Yuri again. You were given a pretty vague jojolity that could be taken in a number of different ways - this was one I was *super* excited to see the results of. Let’s get into it.

Starting with Esmond, this was definitely one where the flavor was the jojolity focus. And the flavor was pretty good! Buuut on the flip side I would’ve liked to see more mechanical implementation of what you established there. There wasn’t much that gave me the impression of “oh, this is a flavor play” in the actual text of the strat, unfortunately, and because of that you get a **6**.

Onto Amelia. I’m just gonna say it outright. You get a **10**. This strat is fundamentally based on doing Stupid Bullshit - throwing around Brick’s coffin, using blood loss on the guy who *scales off of blood lost*, and a heavy focus on just running up on the opponents from the word go. The strat promises to stick to simple tactics and follows through with a no-nonsense nonsense strategy, at once completely block headed and shockingly effective. The Brick Bomb is the kind of jojolity play I take notes on. Good work.

Say a Prayer for Father Blue (Coop)

Don’t have much to say for either Jojolity except that both teams did a great job here. While Amelia’s approach is understandably more in line/appropriate for “understanding and honoring Brick”, Esmond also provides a nuanced narrative on his enjoyment of “the fight” to match this. That being said, I don’t think anyone would disagree with “turning Brick’s corpse into a bomb” as the perfect Jojolity move that earns CFC an extra point here. **7** to Esmond and **8** to Amelia.
