The Moist Wars

SquareBowl II introduced naming characters (in the case of Final Fantasy VIII, summons) based on audience donations. In an effort to troll those who find the word "moist" uncomfortable, a movement was started to name several characters some variation that included the word "moist" such as "MoistBoy." This trend caused mixed feelings among the streamers and audience as many donated in favor of it and many donated specifically to shoot these "moist" names down.

The name for Bahamut, a summon common across the Final Fantasy franchise, became exceptionally contentious as two popular name alternatives emerged: Bahamoist and Baehamut. Overnight, bids ballooned into the thousands of dollars, with Rami Ismail leading the group supporting Bahamoist, and user DaVinci leading Baehamut.

The arguing over the name was highly contentious and the bids were very evenly matched on both sides. As the incentive drew to a close, the names were neck in neck. In an effort to make peace, an alternative was proposed: if the two amounts tied, the character would be named Baehamoist.

Bidding continued to go back and forth, this time between those who donated for a tie, and those who donated to sway the total towards one side. A system was put in place where a five-minute timer was set, and every time a bid changed the balance, the timer was re-set to five minutes. Many bids came in just under the wire, causing the timer to be re-set multiple times.

Eventually, donors on both sides exhausted the funds they were willing to submit, and Bahamoist was chosen as the final winner.
