Popularity Survivor interest thread

Old Rivers · 10-07-2021, 10:12 PM

Several of the new users have expressed great interest in reviving Popularity Survivor (so much so that one of them is even having dreams about it). I'd be willing to host it, but honestly I'm pretty skeptical. The number of active users is so much smaller than the last time we did this (in 2012) that we would have to do a significantly scaled down version of it (fewer rounds, only voting out five people per round etc). I've made this clear on the discord, but some of them insist that we try.

What do you guys think? Would it just be too pathetic, or is it worth at least trying? I was gonna make this a poll, but let's just talk it through. Who here would actually participate and vote in every round? If enough people commit to it, then I'll do it, but my fear is that every round would just be Pizza Luigi and Plopilpy voting. So yeah, let's hear some feedback.

Lhh okay I KNOW you three are voting. The implied question was who other than the people who are requesting this game would vote.

PizzaLuigi · 10-07-2021, 11:51 PM

Alright so we got Dungeon Snake, Dooglord, Red Scorpion I‘m pretty sure, Me, and Plop so far

Old Rivers · 10-07-2021, 11:53 PM

And I would be voting too obviously, but that still isn't enough people, even for an abbreviated version of the game.

VGCharacters · 10-08-2021, 12:56 AM

I'd be down to vote.

Agreed. I would definitely take part but everything in the OP makes sense to me too

Nixon · 10-08-2021, 03:52 AM

i am both physically and mentally incapable of taking part

Dašarath · 10-08-2021, 06:49 AM

i would vote

Toonsville · 10-08-2021, 08:12 AM

I would vote too.

Old Rivers · 11-01-2021, 04:38 AM

Bump. At this point, I'm pretty close to going ahead and doing it. Does anyone else feel like chiming in?

Bown · 11-01-2021, 07:56 AM

I’ll still vote.

Allergic 2 Life · 11-09-2021, 04:45 AM

Old Rivers · 11-24-2021, 02:05 AM

I know the list is pretty dismally small compared to previous years, but ten rounds of voting out ~five people still works.

Plopilpy · 11-24-2021, 02:27 AM

That's awesome

Bown · 11-24-2021, 04:28 AM

I suggest we all vote Plop out in round 1. Not so much for the “lol and then he’ll have a low placement!!” of it all, but because you know he’s dying to see where he’d rank on this list, and this way he never will.

Seriously though, looks like a good list to me! I say we start round one with 10 people just to get rid of all the random noob names nobody knows
