Popularity Contest #58: An Unexpected Journey

From the smallest beginnings come the greatest legends.


  • Total voters
    10
  • Poll closed .

Johnny Unusual

(He/Him)
If you haven't done this before, the idea of a popularity contest is to compile a bunch of lists from forum members (and other people if you want, I guess) and find out shared favourites. For example, top 50 snack foods or top 50 fantasy novels. Right now we have top 50 Sandwiches via @Torzelbaum. It’s a great read! But this is a poll for the next one (we always start getting ready when we hit the halfway point).

Anyway, here are the options.

Top 50 Dialogue from Video Games - @WildcatJF
Top 50 Time Travelers - @Johnny Unusual


1) The vote will go on for four days and you can vote for one topic and can change your vote at any time.

2) If you vote for something PLEASE do so with the intent of participating. I certainly relate to voting for a topic you think is neat but don't feel you could contribute much too. And its fine if you vote and maybe find later you don't have the time. Things happen. But if you vote for one you might not want to actually contribute to, you might not be alone. We want the winner to have as many contributors as possible, thus making it more fun for them. It would be a bummer if they got to host a list and there were very few contributions.

3) Please do not crap on anyone's choices or submissions. Its cool to talk about your preferences and even try to convince people why one choice is good but please don't mock other choices or try to hector people into voting for a specific choice. It just makes a fun thing less fun. However, if you have legitimate concerns about a specific topic, perhaps for reasons someone didn't consider, like sensitivity reasons or a possible problematic nature, don't hesitate.

You have four days to vote. Please ask any questions of the lists that you want of the participants.
 
I'd like to elucidate what exactly I mean by my option.

If mine is selected, I will request selections of the greatest video game dialogue of all time. It will be up to two spoken or written lines by one singular character (so, example: "What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets!" is an acceptable submission, but the entire line, "What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets! But enough talk! Have at you!" is not). Typically when I nominate a popularity contest, it involves my art. This one will not, but will retain my quirky sense of humor...think of it as a Masterpiece Theater sort of vibe and you'll get a hint of the direction I will be taking.

Happy to answer any questions.

So do the lines have to be spoken? Or would text dialogue be allowed?
 
My original prompt was "Top 50 Unique Lines of Dialogue Delivered Within A Video Game (spoken or written)". So either spoken or text dialogue are valid. Edited the original explanation for clarity.

OK. Thanks.

Both of these potential Top 50s sound interesting but they're currently tied so I don't want to cast my vote just yet.

Good outcome. I didn’t vote only because there wasn’t an option to vote for both.
 
@Alex @RT-55J @WildcatJF @nataeryn @Lokii @JBear @Daikaiju

Rejoice, for it is time to nominate video game dialogue!
