LSG Character Poll 2019

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Tue Feb 26, 2019 5:10 am

Post by CaptainMeme »

Welcome to the 2019 Character Poll!

Here, you will rank characters from this year's games 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 you are unfamiliar with them, or you played in the game but never interacted with them.

I repeat, since a lot of people missed this on the last one and thought you had to leave a rating for every character on the questionaire:

You can leave any question on any form blank and you will still be able to submit!


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. Additionally,
a person's ranking for their own character will not be counted
(I'd love it if you'd leave your own characters blank, since it saves me a bit of effort, but it will still be manually removed if you do put a number in there).

self-rating removal tally: IIIIIIIIIIII




This one will be periodically updated throughout the year as games conclude. New posts will be made whenever a game's poll is ready, and all of the currently available polls will be listed in this first post throughout the year.

Results will be released in early 2020. You can discuss your ratings but please don't kill any of the mystery :)

The first game to conclude this year,
Nonary Game: Ambidex Panic
, is now open for voting!



Given that this one was split into two separate games, so most players never met a large number of these players, I'd like to re-emphasise the point that you do not have to vote on every character in the poll - you are free to leave any blank if you want. The 9 players at the top are from the 8v environment, and the 9 players at the bottom are from the Qw environment.

Oh, so instead of having early games get forgotten, you just put out the poll when said game ends and its fresh on everyone's mind. Brilliant!

If polls come out closer to the end date (and I have no opinion on best methodology), then it should also be known that a recency bias may cause overall trends toward inflation which may make overall rankings skewed. Or maybe it has no effect. Just noting interyear comparisons may be affected. I remember that was a discussion point in a past thread (maybe said by cc?)
Sup, later.

Well, there was always recency bias towards the most recently completed game at the time of the poll, and this seeks to mitigate that bias

We tried this last year as well, but then cc got lazy or whatever and it stopped.

If it's not obvious, I won't be voting for people in this first game up. (The one lsg game I never even signed up for since I joined this community)

Same here. I've only been a player so far this year so I'm not in the best spot to rate people from these games, but I plan to start specing quite a bit.

That and I want a LSG subforum link near the top of my egosearch so I don't have to go looking for it on the board index

Do I REALLY suck? That's up to you to decide.

Retiring from LSG's and Mish Mash, for the most part. If you want to contact me, I suggest going outside and enjoying what the world has to offer, instead.

Definitely DID suck, in the end...Probably.

Hey everyone, after getting feedback from previous years and having a little character poll pow wow, we've come to the conclusion that although we've been fine to offer this, we haven't exactly advertised it.

As a result, we would like to officially offer a new service:

If at any point throughout the year before poll results are revealed, if you would like to review and/or resubmit your scores, contact Malkon or Meme via PM or Discord. We will happily share your previous scores with you and adjust them if need be.


This has always been a possibility, but we wanted to perfectly clear that it was available. Maybe later, after you've had some distance from the game, you realized you needed to be less or more critical than you were before so soon after the game ended and we wanted to allow for such changes to be reflected in poll ratings.

If you have questions about this please contact us <3

Hello there! Glad to meet you!

Welcome to the World of Pokemon!

Our names are Malkon and CaptainMeme. People affectionately refer to us as the Pokemon Professors.

Image

This world is inhabited far and wide by creatures called Pokemon. For some people, Pokemon are pets. Others use them for battling.

As for us...we study pokemon as a profession.

But first, tell us a little about yourself!






Right, your name is GENERIC TRAINER.

This is CaptainMeme’s grandson. He’s been your rival since you both were babies. Erm, what was his name again?

....

….

Er, was it FUCKBOI?

That’s right! I remember now! His name is FUCKBOI!

GENERIC TRAINER, your very own Pokemon legend is about to unfold!

A world of dreams and adventures with Pokemon awaits. Let’s go!






Welcome to the Pokemon Region known as MishMash. We, Professors Malkon & CaptainMeme would like to give you your very own Pokedex in order to help us catalog the various types of Pokemon in this new Region.

We took the liberty of finding some of the more common types ahead of time to assist you with your adventure. Take a look:

But unfortunately, we are too busy uncovering the secrets of the Legendary Pokemon, so you will have to find the next ones yourself. Good luck with your adventure!
