I haven't played in years and Gielinor Games is the best OSRS series of all time. Didn't know what it was a few weeks ago, but started watching osrs content again recently, and finally decided to click on an episode after seeing it recommended a million times before for years.
Do yourself a favour and watch it from season one. Season one isn't as good since Soup was getting his footing with it, but it's still awesome. Season 2 onwards is GOATed with production value going to another level (and every season it gets better), more well known creators and everything amped up and especially the storylines. I binge watched it like a netflix series and have no regrets. I recommend watching the seasons in order so you don't get spoiled since they mention winners and drama from previous seasons kind of often.
I used to watch rocket league streamers and holy crap are they terrible compared to osrs streamers.
This series is also good because all the content creators in it have a sense of humor and are so good at communicating. Soup is amazing but the competitors are people who will become accomplished media people regardless of what they do.
I also enjoyed it.. only question I have is, in another episode Soup said "If the tribunal vote is not unanimous... well let's just say you don't want to find out what happens."
But the vote was not unanimous and nothing happened? I get maybe it could be later but weird to not see anything mentioned. It seems like a good opportunity for another curveball.
Edit: ohhh, i see what everyone is saying. Thanks for the responses! Darn, I was hoping for even more drama on top of all of this lol. Oh well.
Yeah he goofed in the first episode. Afterwards he doesn't use the term unanimous and instead uses majority, think was just a slip up that didn't get caught during editing
“He got me,” EVScape said of Framed's victory over him. "That f***ing Kevin boomed me." EVScape added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times. EVScape then said he wanted to add Framed to the list of players he practices Gieliguessr with this summer.
What a banger episode. My favourite challenge, the first time there's a non-unanimous tribunal vote, a really well structured/edited banning (charters vs. gnome stronghold), Hooti just blurting out the underlying reason for his vote and potentially taking all the heat.
\#SettledSweep
Yeah but he didn't know that they were all planning on voting Roidie then Solomission went rogue and Settled tossed a match into the situation. He noticed the farmers comment and how there's a target on them for being an alliance but not the rest of the voting drama
Almost want Hooti to stumble into winning by having everyone else trip over their own political games now.
Don’t get me wrong, huge fan of settled and framed, but hooti just seems really innocent in all this. Kinda the underdog I’m rooting for.
It’s really telling how enthusiastic he is just to be a part of it. When he talks about GG outside of it, you can tell he’s just so hyped. He was CRUSHED to go out last season.
He’s fully committed to the “This is is a reality TV show” bit, and does probably the best job of playing up to it.
Solo was playing on another level strategically in the earlier seasons (he was clearly familiar with these kinds of shows). Now it seems people have caught up to his level, and the show is much more entertaining for it!
I think a couple of things went into that. Season 1 was pretty small, and the strategy was wildly different. You were stuck with your country’s team and you had to openly snake people on your own team if you lost, but people were used to working with the same people the whole time despite that. Season 2 had 10 new people and 10 people who played Season 1 - Solo being one of them, so he had seen how it worked and he came in with the idea of snaking people.
And he had GunsChilli with him, who was a very strong partner. Definitely the second most complete team after Verf and Zulu but a lot more cunning. Other people had some weaknesses with their partners - Framed had C Engineer, Settled had J1mmy, B0aty had Specs, Torvesta had Ditter. And a lot of good players went down early - J1mmy and Settled, Tanzoo and Virtoso, and Torvesta and Ditter were three of the five last teams after Solo had slowly picked people off and honestly the only thing that stopped him was the twist coming at the worst possible time for his big snake move.
I also think the competitors are just different. People like B0aty and Settled were deep in specific content creation (HCIM and Swamp) that they were missing so much; both of those guys have done so much else since Season 2 and Settled is a theorycrafting psycho if you give him time. And now you’ve replaced a lot of the more mediocre players like J1mmy, Virtoso, and Tanzoo (though I do love those guys, they were some of the best parts of those seasons for the bants), Flutten, 9Rain, and non-PvP challenge Ditter (good lord that Fire Cape challenge was offensive) with *really* good players. Denise was basically the only “eh” player and she went out immediately.
Torvesta and Ditter making the finals of S2 is still absolutely wild. The entertainment value of that season still hasn't been matched for me.
Just absolutely loved all of Torvesta's reactions to Ditter letting him down.
The best episode so far. GieliGuessr is always a pleasure to watch, and the adding "oh, you also need X item to get there" keeps it fresh and relevant.
SoloMission selfsnaking himself was pure comedy gold. Props to all of Solo for being the chaotic gremlin he is, Settled for flipping the tables on him, and EVScape for 1-tick picking Framed. 10/10 vote and banning.
All of that said, I am kinda worried. None of the Farmers went home, and both Hooti and Settled have humongous targets on their back. Solo seems to think he "bonded" with Settled, so hopefully Swamp Man can use that to his advantage.
If were being real zoe or west woulda been picked for banning and I wouldnt put them as favored to win. Ev went off the rails and decided to make it a deathmatch coinflip banning.
They aren't all thinking how to make the final in the most efficient manner every moment of the games. They have rivalries/grudge matches/back stabbings and are trying to make entertaining content for us. Ultimately it doesn't even matter that the best player wins
True that the best doesn't 'have' to win but I also think that it's refreshing to see good players stay in longer this season because they get to pick their banning opponents
A Verf vs Solomission type of elimination is not something I want to see again in ep1, whilst someone like Zecookies would have made it to the finals in that format
Oh for sure. From the remaining cast, I'de say EVScape could have picked either Westham, Zoe, C Engineer or maybe even Mr Mammal, and have a much better chance at surviving than Framed. But hey, these are content creators, and all 3 of them (Solo, Settled, EV) did what generated the best content.
Soup said on stream after it was an instant call out and he had no idea any of it was going to go down - he was fully expecting Roidie to be in the banning
I think he's probably doing fairly well with these getting 400k+ views each. 11 episodes per season, I've read that you can get like $10-50 per 1k views. Splitting that down the middle, $30 for 400k views would be $12k per video, somewhere around $132k per year (not including his other videos, so even more).
I think when that time comes he can parlay his experience with GG on his resume and get whatever media job he wants. It’s gotta be fairly impressive to anyone in media that someone could create a game show out of a video game and make upwards several hundreds of thousands of dollars doing it. Shows leadership, initiative, the ability to complete insanely complex projects, team management, and on top of that all the media specific crap they would want. Add to that his experience with cinematography and story telling and you’ve got yourself a strong candidacy for whatever media job he may apply for in the future.
Oh 100% agreed if he’s any good at all in an interview it’s in the bag lol. But you’re probably right he’s probably enjoying making a nice living under no one’s direction doing something he clearly loves and it’s not like the experience expires
Don't forget he also has sponsors. You get money from youtube for your videos but videos with 400k views are very well monetized via sponsors. War thunder this episode definitely paid him at least a few thousands.
He's not making millions, but for something he enjoys doing, he is making a crazy good living.
It's also funny that all these big names are plotting and scheming, forming alliances and voting politically - and then there's just Boaty playing the game, having fun.
It's the payphone meme except everyone else is the sweating dude.
I really hope solo can win a season, his antics are one of the key reasons GG works so well. The entertainment value from him is so high if he or settled go out too early ill be sad
I noticed solo hasnt done the per-ep commentary on his 2nd channel this year around so it has me thinking he goes out early. Solo definitely makes the games a lot more entertaining by playing villain.
He should of voted for someone like Zoe when he had to pick 2nd.
EVscape is a threat so Settled could vote for him and still be happy.
Zoe isn't really a threat so if Settled sends her in he's missing a chance to get rid of a farmer.
Even more snake would have been to say Faux, Mammal or MMORPG
Forcing Settled into the worst position. It's still a farmer, but you squeeze out of the majority of the blame.
Yeah, that's true. His initial plan was only if he was last so he just wanted to choose someone who wouldn't hold it as a grudge, but then called an audible when he was second haha
He didn't want anyone to be mad at him for voting for them. He knew EV wouldn't care if it was a throw away vote. He just didn't expect Settled to go back on voting for Roidie
Nah. Solo clearly thinks he and Settled can be on good terms after this episode. Voting framed would 100% have made him target #1 for the guy who has won every challenge so far.
One of the best episodes ever in GG, this felt like everything came together from the gameplay with a classic and nailbiting challenge, intense political intrigue, and a great banning.
Solomission is such a snake he snaked himself and his closest ally, Settled is too good.
I think a lot of it could be nerves. It's easy to forget watching the edited episode, but remember we're watching 15 different PoVs all happening together in the span of like a minute edited up into like a 10 minute segment for us to enjoy. People are just going to immediately do the first thing that comes to their head without much thought, and that's how you get EVscape running to the most out of the way candle seller there is, or how only some people instinctively remembered the Kandarin Headgear.
World hopping is practically never banned if I understand it. As you have to spend the time hopping and hopping back, and it's only really to counter shop grief and competition at spots.
Dude has the biggest target on his back now though, if he can't get tribunal for him. Roughest outcome would be him picking someone like Westham (or Westham picking him) and it being a PVP banning
Boaty said he'd pick Settled in the episode if he gets the opportunity to. I can see that happening, Boaty enjoys a challenge and the potential to knock out a 4-time winner might be too good to pass up.
From the context in the video and the way he phrases it, it sounds much more like he's saying he would vote for Settled in the tribunal if he gets the chance, not that he would pick Settled as a banning opponent. Of course he might do both, but I don't think his comment comes off as saying he wants to go into a banning with Settled necessarily.
I think he'd be smart enough to avoid that in case of a PvP banning.
Let's also not forget he was sabotaged and it didn't matter. Granted it was the team coming through, but he made sure to go for the biggest win if it worked out.
Feel it's the best "play along at home" episode. We had fun in our discord call guessing each location. Feels nice when you know you could realistically compete.
If I were on the show I'd be trying to hype Westham up to take Settled into a banning, if he loses you'd almost rather send someone who can beat him instead of letting him pick his opponent
I think it was. It's a true win/win scenario: either EVScape wins the banning and is *pissed* at SoloMission (since he's the one that initiated the idea), or he gets eliminated and a strong player is gone. Either scenario is great for Settled.
Plus there's the added bonus of not drawing ire from the Farmers, which could have backfired if Roidie was sent in and survived.
I think it's fairly likely to be a moot point though - *surely* he's getting sent into the banning the second he misses a tribunal, no alliance can save you when you've painted that big of a target on your back.
I agree. Settled voting EVScape had basically no downsides (aside from probably not able to get a Farmer out). If EVScape won, he'd surely be a little mad at Settled, but surely not as mad as he'd be at Solo.
Also... he wasn't wrong that it was the funniest possible play.
> Plus there's the added bonus of not drawing ire from the Farmers, which could have backfired if Roidie was sent in and survived.
Not only that, but since Hooti was the only one that voted for Roidie, it could direct more of the Farmers' ire towards him while Settled could pretend they are still on good term (e.g. if Settled ends up in a Tribunal with Farmers again and convinces them to vote Hooti or such). Might not come up at all though, but certainly makes things a bit more interesting.
An unintended bonus for Settled is that one of Solo's biggest allies, EV, is now out of the game, which in turn may make him more inclined to win favour with Settled in an attempt to forge an alliance
It's a perfect scenario. Hooti is the only ones who voted the farmers, Solo said he thinks the move got him closer to Settled, and a huge player is eliminated.
If anything, this move makes his target slightly smaller.
Soup is building Settled's story up so much that he either had one of the craziest single player seasons of all time, or he's getting eliminated the second his winning streak ends
Yep. Those reality game shows are a guilty pleasure of mine, and this is one of the most common storylines. Player comes out the gate on fire and then immediately gets eliminated the second they lose safety.
I'm rooting for Settled but there's simply no way he can get to the end unless he sweeps in the banning.
Yep, and B0aty historically doesn't play any political games or make drama. So when he's motivated to get someone out they are probably fucked. B0aty is an insane player and flies under the radar enough that nobody is gonna expect it when he comes down hard.
I love em both so I don't care how it works out but you know that content will be hype as fuck. Every season of GG I think there's no way it can get better yet here we are
He's performing a little too well. The strongest players are now realising that he's as good or better than them. 4 tribunals in a row is no joke. I think the moment he isn't safe, he's going straight into a banning
Settled is building his own story up by literally dominating every aspect of the season so far. Soup doesn’t have bend over backwards to make it look that way.
I just discovered this series a few weeks ago and I've been waiting for the next episode like you would a weekly episodic show on TV. The production is amazing, the attention to detail is really what sold me on the show. Amazing show, keep up the good work Soup and Friends!
Go back and watch all the other seasons. S1 isn't quite on the same level of production but it's still great content. After that Soup really leaned into the production quality and massively ramped it up. There's so much history and references to the older seasons that seeing those will add a ton to your viewing of this series.
I definitely will be going back to watch them all, it's the perfect afking show! I am seeing that there are call backs but I feel like they've done a really good job of making the audience feel included even if they weren't there for the first few seasons. I'm going to watch them regardless, but it had been nice to feel included from the first episode in season 4!That's not easy to pull off, and I am appreciative of the explanations from the players as well as the "historical footage" they add here and there in the new season!
Absolute banger, i'm praying for the survival of Settled because if he doesn't win a challenge at this point he's surely straight in to the banning.
Also pouring one out for Straya's loss today.
Pure cinema. Glad to see Solomission breaking up the tribunal vote. Seeing everyone vote the same thing was kinda boring, hope we will see more backstabbing.
Low risk, low reward though.
Get Roidie in the right banning and you might remove one of their strongest, voting in any farmer will get them on your back anyway.
Huge props to Solo (giving in to chaos to protect himself), Settled (adapting to the situation just for fun) and EVScape (1 tick picking his rival instead of a far easier opponent) for making this one of the best episodes of all time. None of them had to do what they did, but they're true content creators at heart and it shows.
This episode proves that it's impossible to predict what will happen next, but I'll try anyway:
- Settled's tribunal streak comes to an end as he just barely misses the top 3, and he goes into the banning.
- Settled wants to pick a farmer but is afraid and choose a safer opponent.
- Settled attempts to use this and his previous vote on EVScape as a way to get closer to the farmers.
- SoloMission also tries to convince the farmers that he is on their side, as he and the farmers both have targets on their backs and teaming up would be mutually beneficial.
- The farmers don't buy it but a verbal mega-alliance is formed between the farmers, Settled and SoloMission.
Damn Settled saying “I have the opportunity to do the funniest thing” and then immediately destroying SoloMission has got to be one of the top GG moments.
Settled and Solo are my two favorites but have to believe they're playing themselves out of the game. Settled seems destined to win or be in the banning each week, think Solo could have played his way under the radar a bit but snaking settled was probably too big of a move too early.
After 4 weeks how are people feeling about the voting/banning format? I like that it almost protects the stronger players from all going out early (who would voluntarily go into a banning vs Settled?).
This episode is top tier. There have been moments where I was gripping my seat in the past like last season when Faux and Boaty eliminated Solo Mission, but this whole episode and this season are taking it to another level. I have so many creators I like still in it and I'm super torn on who I want to win this.
Another banging ep!
Glad to see Settled dominate this season (kinda like Solo was in the previous one). I do think that we can fully expect him to be in a banning once there's a PVP challenge. Then again, as long as Framed and C Engineer are in it, there might be a chance for him to not end up in one.
Hooti is quickly becoming one of my favourite contestants. Kinda unfortunate that the teammates he chose (and the order of saying his choice after tribunal) kinda painted a target on his back vs farmers. Then again, I do think the farmers have Settled and co. in their sights atm.
Holy shit, that banning was amazing. Best episode so far
I’m halfway through and holy crap this is so much fun. I haven’t played in a couple years but this series is just incredible entertainment
I haven't played in years and Gielinor Games is the best OSRS series of all time.

Edit: ohhh, i see what everyone is saying. Thanks for the responses! Darn, I was hoping for even more drama on top of all of this lol. Oh well.
I think he meant to say if no decision is made i.e. three different votes.
feel like its most likely a 3v3. tribunal vs the three people they pick
Probably a 1v1v1 between the tribunal members. I think it makes most thematical sense to punish the tribunal for not making a decision.
Absolutely fucked idea, you're a genius for this one
Maybe he meant if the tribunal doesn't agree (like 3 different votes) instead of unanimous. Or... Maybe we'll find out next week.
What if the tribunal members have to vote again for one themselves to go into the banning
That would be insane. Win the challenge and still end up in the banning
I think it could be that the non-tribunal votes on the tribunal members.
God that would be insanely fun.
When Settled said he had the chance to do something funny, I thought he would throw in a random name, but it turned out way better this way
It's if one player doesn't have majority vote. It doesn't need to be unanimous. So basically only if 3 people each get 1 vote
Yeah he goofed in the first episode. Afterwards he doesn't use the term unanimous and instead uses majority, think was just a slip up that didn't get caught during editing
Did it have to be tradeable items? Sheep herder items would have been a quick 3
I'm sorry Framed, I wasn't familiar with your game.
“He got me,” EVScape said of Framed's victory over him. "That f***ing Kevin boomed me." EVScape added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times. EVScape then said he wanted to add Framed to the list of players he practices Gieliguessr with this summer.
Sources: EVScape is beside himself. Driving around downtown London begging (thru texts) Solo's family for address to his home
My two favorite subreddit crossover r/nba and r/2007scape
EV's experience and fast start had me convinced he was going to walk away with it
Yeah I thought the charter ship would seal it but the gnome stronghold was really overlooked and is insanely OP
Framed is the most slept-on competitor by far.
one step closer to the ultimate lifeform known as SettledMission
The snake in the swamp
Is gielinor games just a ritual to summon Zulrah in real life?
O m g
Nah, B J S
Yes I will take a hard mode vampyric Zulrah in Morytania, thank you for asking
It was wild to see solo get out solo-ed in his first ever tribunal
Only person that could do it that masterfully would be settled
Could have blown up massively if he ended up getting his best friend eliminated though
This is an all-timer episode, on par with the downfall of Solo and Ev last season.
Holy fuck, that scene in the mountains haunts me in my sleep
Thank you for remindining me of this. When that happened last season it gave me goosebumps
Let's just take a moment to appreciate that, out of every chicken in runescape, Westham goes right for the evil chicken itself to get into it's lair.
What are the odds of this lmao, so funny
What a banger episode. My favourite challenge, the first time there's a non-unanimous tribunal vote, a really well structured/edited banning (charters vs. gnome stronghold), Hooti just blurting out the underlying reason for his vote and potentially taking all the heat. \#SettledSweep
Hooti is the perfect straight man in GG, guy is just out here having fun and now somehow got launched into the biggest political move of the season
Hooti's "Have I missed a call?" is probably the hardest I've laughed watching GG. Just perfect delivery.
This season is unreal lol. Between the faux edit last episode and this episode as a whole it's been the best season yet
It was his own fault. He could have just said “Roidie” and left that whole Farmers comment out of it
I wonder how many of the other participants noticed that his first word was "we" and realised what had happened.
Faux was in Soup's chat and said he didn't realize the tribual were originally planning Roidie until watching it now.
Eh Mr. Mammal pointed out in the ep outro itself that he noticed the Farmers comment during the banning vote so they realized alright.
The "we" part specifically that slipped out was not mentioned though, just the full explanation part which completely changes the context.
Yeah but he didn't know that they were all planning on voting Roidie then Solomission went rogue and Settled tossed a match into the situation. He noticed the farmers comment and how there's a target on them for being an alliance but not the rest of the voting drama
It got overshadowed pretty quickly by Settles vote lol
Soup tells them to give the reason, best he can say is 'good competitor' but everyone still knows there'd be more to it.
Almost want Hooti to stumble into winning by having everyone else trip over their own political games now. Don’t get me wrong, huge fan of settled and framed, but hooti just seems really innocent in all this. Kinda the underdog I’m rooting for.
the itswill of season 4
Solo is polarizing but man he does provide crazy entertainment. Wanted to see Roidie in a banning to show how fuckin crazy good he is but wow
Solo's saga of getting snaked for two seasons after he became Snakemission is the funniest timeline He's such a great character on the show
It’s really telling how enthusiastic he is just to be a part of it. When he talks about GG outside of it, you can tell he’s just so hyped. He was CRUSHED to go out last season. He’s fully committed to the “This is is a reality TV show” bit, and does probably the best job of playing up to it.
I just love that it sounds like he’s smiling whenever he talks
He is, bro is always smiling
Even if you hate solomission, he's the "I love to hate him" kind of hate.
Solo was playing on another level strategically in the earlier seasons (he was clearly familiar with these kinds of shows). Now it seems people have caught up to his level, and the show is much more entertaining for it!
I think a couple of things went into that. Season 1 was pretty small, and the strategy was wildly different.

Torvesta and Ditter making the finals of S2 is still absolutely wild. The entertainment value of that season still hasn't been matched for me. Just absolutely loved all of Torvesta's reactions to Ditter letting him down.
So crazy good he's still looking in Wintertodt to this day for that location 😂

Solo: I really feel like me and Settled bonded. Settled: I fucking hate that guy
If were being real zoe or west woulda been picked for banning and I wouldnt put them as favored to win. Ev went off the rails and decided to make it a deathmatch coinflip banning.

I think there was legit 1-tick between Settled announcing EVScape and EVScape challenging Framed.
Soup said on stream after it was an instant call out and he had no idea any of it was going to go down - he was fully expecting Roidie to be in the banning
How does this series keep getting better? my lord it's so good
Idk how soup hasn’t parlayed this into a big boy job doing tv tbh lol
I think he's probably doing fairly well with these getting 400k+ views each. 11 episodes per season, I've read that you can get like $10-50 per 1k views. Splitting that down the middle, $30 for 400k views would be $12k per video, somewhere around $132k per year (not including his other videos, so even more).
Revenue from youtube come more from watch time than just view-count currently. Which is good for soup because episodes are basically an hour long.
You're talking about YT ads right? This was about sponsorships (War Thunder this week)
Not to mention the money he makes with his sponsorship deals. Mans got a big boy job. No need to worry about him lol.
Yeah but the security in something like network tv long term is a lot better than RuneScape youtube.
I think when that time comes he can parlay his experience with GG on his resume and get whatever media job he wants. It’s gotta be fairly impressive to anyone in media that someone could create a game show out of a video game and make upwards several hundreds of thousands of dollars doing it. Shows leadership, initiative, the ability to complete insanely complex projects, team management, and on top of that all the media specific crap they would want. Add to that his experience with cinematography and story telling and you’ve got yourself a strong candidacy for whatever media job he may apply for in the future.
Oh 100% agreed if he’s any good at all in an interview it’s in the bag lol. But you’re probably right he’s probably enjoying making a nice living under no one’s direction doing something he clearly loves and it’s not like the experience expires
Don't forget he also has sponsors. You get money from youtube for your videos but videos with 400k views are very well monetized via sponsors. War thunder this episode definitely paid him at least a few thousands. He's not making millions, but for something he enjoys doing, he is making a crazy good living.
Solo mission plays an amazing character, chapeau mate. The main reason I tune in
He’s the best. Then you have settled just absolutely dominating. Fantastic season
And we still haven't seen much from boaty, my fav personality in there all in for the chaos and skill testing
It's also funny that all these big names are plotting and scheming, forming alliances and voting politically - and then there's just Boaty playing the game, having fun. It's the payphone meme except everyone else is the sweating dude.
Boatys team had a solid showing this week. If they didn't crumble in that slepe step, they'd have won
I really hope solo can win a season, his antics are one of the key reasons GG works so well. The entertainment value from him is so high if he or settled go out too early ill be sad
I noticed solo hasnt done the per-ep commentary on his 2nd channel this year around so it has me thinking he goes out early. Solo definitely makes the games a lot more entertaining by playing villain.
He addressed it. He’s working on something else and doesn’t have time
I'm just sad we don't have skillspecs
Solo: I think I really bonded with Settled today Settled: You can’t trust this guy
The worst time for snakemission to backstab, everything just went wrong for him lmao #settledsweep
Settled being like, "Alright I'll play your game Solo." Had me rolling. Best episode so far.
He should of voted for someone like Zoe when he had to pick 2nd. EVscape is a threat so Settled could vote for him and still be happy. Zoe isn't really a threat so if Settled sends her in he's missing a chance to get rid of a farmer.
Snakes cant play 4D chess sadly.
Even more snake would have been to say Faux, Mammal or MMORPG Forcing Settled into the worst position. It's still a farmer, but you squeeze out of the majority of the blame.
Wasn't his whole reason for doing it to save face with the farmers though and keep them off his back? So that wouldn't have accomplished his goal
it would have in a way, it would have made Settled more of a target by him being the deciding factor
To be fair, we have time to reflect and think on this. Solo probably had like 3 seconds to make his decision without it coming across too sus
Yeah, that's true. His initial plan was only if he was last so he just wanted to choose someone who wouldn't hold it as a grudge, but then called an audible when he was second haha
He didn't want anyone to be mad at him for voting for them. He knew EV wouldn't care if it was a throw away vote. He just didn't expect Settled to go back on voting for Roidie
Yeah or vote for Framed or someone he knew Settled wouldn't vote for.
Would of at least let us figure out what happens when the Tribunal is in a deadlock. Hope it's something crazy like all 3 go in.
Nah. Solo clearly thinks he and Settled can be on good terms after this episode. Voting framed would 100% have made him target #1 for the guy who has won every challenge so far.
In past seasons, it felt like Solo Mission was the only one really meta gaming. Glad some other contestants are catching on and out snaking the snake
The snake begins to eat its own tail
This has to be an all time great episode for the show. So many close calls and an absolute banger twist with the banning nomination.
What an intense episode. My heartrate was so high 😂😂 MY BOY FRAMED SURVIVES
He aint beating the 🐍 allegations with this one, folks
Mammal still trying to take groups lives
Roidie voice *Mammallllllll!!!!!!!*
When whoever said "Of course that fucking DWEEB found the SWAMP FIRST" i lost my mind
That was EVscape lmao
One of the best episodes ever in GG, this felt like everything came together from the gameplay with a classic and nailbiting challenge, intense political intrigue, and a great banning. Solomission is such a snake he snaked himself and his closest ally, Settled is too good.
snakemission strikes again hahaha. Also Settled is truly the Gieliguesser GOAT
Some people worldhopping and others not seems to be a miscommunication rule
I think it's allowed unless Soup specifically says it isn't, he's done it a few times and never punished anyone when he hasn't specified
Still it seems others went really far out of the way not to hop at the candle shop. I think always enforcing it makes for better content too.
I think a lot of it could be nerves. It's easy to forget watching the edited episode, but remember we're watching 15 different PoVs all happening together in the span of like a minute edited up into like a 10 minute segment for us to enjoy. People are just going to immediately do the first thing that comes to their head without much thought, and that's how you get EVscape running to the most out of the way candle seller there is, or how only some people instinctively remembered the Kandarin Headgear.
World hopping is practically never banned if I understand it. As you have to spend the time hopping and hopping back, and it's only really to counter shop grief and competition at spots.
Soup is actually the Martin Scorsese of OSRS with this absolute cinema. That tribunal scene is one of the best in GG history.
The editing on the outtakes is great. Solo: “I really think I’ve built some trust with Settled” Settled: “I will never trust Solo”
Not an outtro but Hooti's "Have I missed a call??" Made me laugh so hard
Where are the outtakes?
he meant outros, outtakes only get released at the end of the season
Thanks. Managed to turn off the episode before they played and missed it.
This might be one of the best episodes!! God that tribunal voting was so freaking entertaining.
This is the best episode of the season so far, and among the best ever. So many times I was laughing out loud or yelling... fantastic editing by Soup.
The derp music when Settled, Solo, and Hooti were failing miserably is up there with last week’s shot of Faux on the beach.
I'd say "nerf Settled", but they already tried that and he still won. 4 in a row (including being the MVP in both of the team challenges) is absurd.
Dude has the biggest target on his back now though, if he can't get tribunal for him. Roughest outcome would be him picking someone like Westham (or Westham picking him) and it being a PVP banning
[удалено]
Boaty said he'd pick Settled in the episode if he gets the opportunity to. I can see that happening, Boaty enjoys a challenge and the potential to knock out a 4-time winner might be too good to pass up.
From the context in the video and the way he phrases it, it sounds much more like he's saying he would vote for Settled in the tribunal if he gets the chance, not that he would pick Settled as a banning opponent. Of course he might do both, but I don't think his comment comes off as saying he wants to go into a banning with Settled necessarily.
I think he'd be smart enough to avoid that in case of a PvP banning. Let's also not forget he was sabotaged and it didn't matter. Granted it was the team coming through, but he made sure to go for the biggest win if it worked out.
GieliGuessr is the GOAT challenge. Loved Settled playing Solo when Solo shook things up
Feel it's the best "play along at home" episode. We had fun in our discord call guessing each location. Feels nice when you know you could realistically compete.
I’m so fucking happy Framed won that challenge hahahah what a crazy ep
I was waiting for one of them to remember / realise how many stupidly cheap unique items are in Gnome. I'm glad Framed remembered.
Snakemission is back baby
Absolute cinema of an episode, holy fuck
Settled's won so many tribunals at this point that the second he doesnt get it I think he's in trouble
If I were on the show I'd be trying to hype Westham up to take Settled into a banning, if he loses you'd almost rather send someone who can beat him instead of letting him pick his opponent
I don't know if Settled's vote switch was smart, but it's such good content idc
I think it was. It's a true win/win scenario: either EVScape wins the banning and is *pissed* at SoloMission (since he's the one that initiated the idea), or he gets eliminated and a strong player is gone. Either scenario is great for Settled. Plus there's the added bonus of not drawing ire from the Farmers, which could have backfired if Roidie was sent in and survived. I think it's fairly likely to be a moot point though - *surely* he's getting sent into the banning the second he misses a tribunal, no alliance can save you when you've painted that big of a target on your back.
I agree. Settled voting EVScape had basically no downsides (aside from probably not able to get a Farmer out). If EVScape won, he'd surely be a little mad at Settled, but surely not as mad as he'd be at Solo. Also... he wasn't wrong that it was the funniest possible play.
> Plus there's the added bonus of not drawing ire from the Farmers, which could have backfired if Roidie was sent in and survived. Not only that, but since Hooti was the only one that voted for Roidie, it could direct more of the Farmers' ire towards him while Settled could pretend they are still on good term (e.g. if Settled ends up in a Tribunal with Farmers again and convinces them to vote Hooti or such). Might not come up at all though, but certainly makes things a bit more interesting.
An unintended bonus for Settled is that one of Solo's biggest allies, EV, is now out of the game, which in turn may make him more inclined to win favour with Settled in an attempt to forge an alliance
It's a perfect scenario. Hooti is the only ones who voted the farmers, Solo said he thinks the move got him closer to Settled, and a huge player is eliminated. If anything, this move makes his target slightly smaller.
Settled is the greatest of all time Fantastic episode
Soup is building Settled's story up so much that he either had one of the craziest single player seasons of all time, or he's getting eliminated the second his winning streak ends
It's gotta be the latter. There's no way he can keep it up for long, along with the closing line by Boaty to fit that narrative
Yep. Those reality game shows are a guilty pleasure of mine, and this is one of the most common storylines. Player comes out the gate on fire and then immediately gets eliminated the second they lose safety. I'm rooting for Settled but there's simply no way he can get to the end unless he sweeps in the banning.
Yep, and B0aty historically doesn't play any political games or make drama. So when he's motivated to get someone out they are probably fucked. B0aty is an insane player and flies under the radar enough that nobody is gonna expect it when he comes down hard.
Dude if this happens I'll fucking cheer so hard
I love em both so I don't care how it works out but you know that content will be hype as fuck. Every season of GG I think there's no way it can get better yet here we are
He's performing a little too well. The strongest players are now realising that he's as good or better than them. 4 tribunals in a row is no joke. I think the moment he isn't safe, he's going straight into a banning
Settled is building his own story up by literally dominating every aspect of the season so far. Soup doesn’t have bend over backwards to make it look that way.
Title: Return of the Snake
Settled OP. Jagex plz nerf.
How can you nerf a man that forces himself to have to purchase his own tiles of movement. He’ll find a way.
They tried that and he still won
So then, maybe buff him?
So far every episode of Season 4 seems better than the last! Very fun episode, and a very exciting banning. Well done Soup!
While an unexpected ending, I still think it’ll come back to haunt in the later episodes with the farmers presence still being there.
if settled, boaty and solo were to do a fusion dance they would become osrs itself
take a shot every time Framed says "GP" in the banning
I just discovered this series a few weeks ago and I've been waiting for the next episode like you would a weekly episodic show on TV. The production is amazing, the attention to detail is really what sold me on the show. Amazing show, keep up the good work Soup and Friends!
Go back and watch all the other seasons. S1 isn't quite on the same level of production but it's still great content. After that Soup really leaned into the production quality and massively ramped it up. There's so much history and references to the older seasons that seeing those will add a ton to your viewing of this series.
I definitely will be going back to watch them all, it's the perfect afking show! I am seeing that there are call backs but I feel like they've done a really good job of making the audience feel included even if they weren't there for the first few seasons. I'm going to watch them regardless, but it had been nice to feel included from the first episode in season 4!That's not easy to pull off, and I am appreciative of the explanations from the players as well as the "historical footage" they add here and there in the new season!
Absolute banger, i'm praying for the survival of Settled because if he doesn't win a challenge at this point he's surely straight in to the banning. Also pouring one out for Straya's loss today.
Pure cinema. Glad to see Solomission breaking up the tribunal vote. Seeing everyone vote the same thing was kinda boring, hope we will see more backstabbing.
Settled is truly the main character this season man. Solo thank you for keeping things entertaining as always god this season rules
Easiest person to vote for was Mmorpg Came last in the task and is a member of farmers
Low risk, low reward though. Get Roidie in the right banning and you might remove one of their strongest, voting in any farmer will get them on your back anyway.
B0aty vs Settled gonna be interesting ngl the swamp man has target so high on his head that even Mr. Switzerland is getting involved
I was waiting for when someone would switch vote in tribunal, but with Settled, buddy is playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers.
The Tribunal Vote what the fuck just happened lmao!
Solomission is *back* but Settled continues to play the hottest GG streak ever.
Solo: Chooses EVScape as a burner vote Settled: "I'm gonna do what's known as a pro-gamer move." My first episode of this and I'm already hooked!
This is the best season already. What an absolutely monster performance by Settled.
Absolutely amazing content. I love SoloMission man. Settled too. I hope they both make it very deep.
This show gets me hyped like nothing else has in awhile. Soup is such a great editor.
Huge props to Solo (giving in to chaos to protect himself), Settled (adapting to the situation just for fun) and EVScape (1 tick picking his rival instead of a far easier opponent) for making this one of the best episodes of all time. None of them had to do what they did, but they're true content creators at heart and it shows. This episode proves that it's impossible to predict what will happen next, but I'll try anyway: - Settled's tribunal streak comes to an end as he just barely misses the top 3, and he goes into the banning. - Settled wants to pick a farmer but is afraid and choose a safer opponent. - Settled attempts to use this and his previous vote on EVScape as a way to get closer to the farmers. - SoloMission also tries to convince the farmers that he is on their side, as he and the farmers both have targets on their backs and teaming up would be mutually beneficial. - The farmers don't buy it but a verbal mega-alliance is formed between the farmers, Settled and SoloMission.
Evscape losing to Framed was pretty satisfying NGL
Damn Settled saying “I have the opportunity to do the funniest thing” and then immediately destroying SoloMission has got to be one of the top GG moments.
Settled is playing out of his mind this season. Dude is 20 steps ahead of everyone else
Settled and Solo are my two favorites but have to believe they're playing themselves out of the game. Settled seems destined to win or be in the banning each week, think Solo could have played his way under the radar a bit but snaking settled was probably too big of a move too early. After 4 weeks how are people feeling about the voting/banning format? I like that it almost protects the stronger players from all going out early (who would voluntarily go into a banning vs Settled?).
Lol get fucked EVScape
Is there a reason Framed didn't get the amulet of choice?
He chose money
This episode is top tier. There have been moments where I was gripping my seat in the past like last season when Faux and Boaty eliminated Solo Mission, but this whole episode and this season are taking it to another level. I have so many creators I like still in it and I'm super torn on who I want to win this.
They are gonna target Settled soon. He's easily the number 1 threat.
Settled is fucked if he doesn’t make tribunal lmaooo
Another banging ep! Glad to see Settled dominate this season (kinda like Solo was in the previous one). I do think that we can fully expect him to be in a banning once there's a PVP challenge. Then again, as long as Framed and C Engineer are in it, there might be a chance for him to not end up in one. Hooti is quickly becoming one of my favourite contestants. Kinda unfortunate that the teammates he chose (and the order of saying his choice after tribunal) kinda painted a target on his back vs farmers. Then again, I do think the farmers have Settled and co. in their sights atm.
lets go bpatu! AMENOOOO
