RULES:
Each person can go once per round.
A new round starts once all three people have gone in a single round OR nobody has gone for 48 hours.
Each player has two idols:
- One must be played before Top 50
- One must be played after Top 50
When a cut is idoled, the person who cut that entry cannot cut that entry again until Top 25, when all immunities and idols go away.
Spoiler: old topic
So we got like a year into this rankdown and didn't make much progress and I said "you know what, fuck it, let's finish this shit"
Since CC already has data on everything from 2016 and beyond, we're finishing the rankdown! For context, see this thread.
Once voting is completed, I'll get with CC to compare these scores with the numbers he has from 2016 & 2017!
In the above link, you'll be taken to a google form, with the characters of every game from the past years listed on a separate page. You will rank these characters on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of character arc, memorability, and overall entertainment factor. You are encouraged to leave any characters blank if they are from a game you aren't familiar with, or you played in the game but never interacted with them.
A 1 on the scale means an actively terrible character or one that lacks any presence at all, while a 10 represents a classic/unforgettable character. If you give out 1s and 10s to over half the available characters, your submission will be thrown out since it's pretty unreasonable that there's no middle ground of characters.
I'll probably leave this up through Saturday then start doing reveals.

QUICK NOTE: I used CC's 2016 poll data to compile this list. What I found was that since there were about half of the people total, scores were skewed heavily in favor of the 2016 poll participants. To correct this, the games featured on CC's 2016 poll had their bottom half of characters relegated in favor of getting more of the older games into the mix. In total, that culled 25 entries from the list. After looking at the next 25 entries on the list, I filled in any pre-2016 characters from that selection. There were about 9 spots still leftover, which I went back and filled in with the top 9 2016 participants who got cut.
It's not an exact science, but it was the best way to get a selection from all of MS history.
