Capsize the Vote! The Popularity Contest General and Nomination Thread

Johnny Unusual

(He/Him)
Time for nominations for the next list!

People who want to host submit their topics. Here are the general rules.

1) So I don't miss your submission, please BOLD your suggestions.

2) Please no joke suggestions. At least, not in BOLD. People have some whimsical ideas for lists so I don't want people submitting a list and I put it up and then they are like "jk, stupid!"

3) If you give a BOLD suggestion, YOU must host. Granted, if something comes up you are free to pass the duty onto another but I just don't want people submitting lists under the assumption that SOMEONE will do it.

4) One submission for person please.

5) Don't insult or put down another person's suggestions. Discussing feasibility, concerns or issues with it are fine, but please don't just say "well, that's a stupid topic". At least one person thinks it isn't.

And please...


If you have any other questions or concerns or I just bungled something up, drop me a line.

The deadline is exactly 4 days from this post dropping, so Saturday night.

perhaps a Top 50 Original Characters (🍩⚙️) list would be more interesting

(definitely no biases here nosiree)

Yeah, it's been a moment since we had a really character-based list and I'd be up fo one, but I feel like it needs *some* category to narrow it down if we want an interesting amount of overlap in the votes.
Duos also sounds cool.
 

Johnny Unusual

(He/Him)
Ooo-hoo-hoo-hoo! A third candidate. This one is going to get exciting!

Top 50 Duos - Johnny Unusual
Top 50 Fictional Characters - Issun
Top 50 Heroines 2 - Solitayre

I've decided to sit this one out, but I'm thinking that an unranked celebration of our own OCs would be cool someday, if enough people are into that.

Gonna stew a bit on how to best do that.

A list for your own original characters sounds logistically implausible because except in very rare cases, there'd be no way for anyone to vote for your character but you. But if you want to talk about your OCs , have I got a thread for you:

(He/Him)
Noted. Hope your lack of free time is a good thing rather than a bad...

Current line-up

Top 50 Duos - Johnny Unusual
Top 50 Heroines 2 - Solitayre

I know we're at the wrong part of the cycle here, but I was trying to fall asleep last night when it occurred to me that "Top 50 Rivals" would be a good list. Free to whoever wants to run it.

Perhaps Top 10/25 Hub Worlds? I'm not sure if 50 is a good number, with how many different kinds there are

Did you mean Top 50 there?

And I'm not aware of any "rule" against submitting your own list for a Top X that you're running. If you're going to all the effort of running a list then I think you're entitled to join in the fun. But you might want to consider Johnny's approach if you do. But as the host you are the one who would set the rules for your Top 50.

My personal approach to making a list is to not include entries that other people bring to me that I didn't think of beforehand (I try to finish my list early when I can). If I think of an entry by myself, then I can change my list an if I'm reminded of something I had considered before, I might put it in but if I look at someone else's choice an realize I did not think of it, I won't allow it on my list. I just don't want to abuse my power to game the list.

What exactly IS a Hubworld. I can kind of guess but I need a bit more
The most basic idea is "in-game area between levels". I want to keep it quite vague, since coming up with 50 might be a hard task. Anything that you think could be a hub, will be included in the list. For example, open-world starter cities that lead to the more challenging areas in the game.

This page defines it more concretely: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HubLevel
