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).
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.
Important change from last year - if you would prefer your character not to be included in the LSG Character Poll, you can message me about it and they will be removed from the questionnaire and the results.
Results will be released at the end of 2021. You can discuss your ratings but please don't kill any of the mystery

Sometimes when I'm thinking of a track to submit, I think to myself "okay I could submit X, but I know a lot of people won't care for it, there's no point in wasting their time and mine". Glad to see [CaptainMeme] isn't burdened by such thoughts.

Somehow after the year that was 2020, starting 2021 with our first game being BS just feels appropriate.

Could we send messages with a link to this poll to everyone who played/spectated games when this is released? I keep on forgetting if I've already filmed the form out or not. I don't know if others have this issue or if I'm a crazy person.
well given I tend not to have a master list of that information from each and every host, not sure how feasible that would be. Might be easy to drop if one of us is spectating/playing the game, but who goes back and re-reads old games 2+ weeks after the fact?
(this poll is missing one player who requested not to be included - it's not a mistake)
Re: response receipts, I could do so but I would need to enable collection of emails for that. This doesn't really feel like the kind of thing we need to verify emails for, so I'd prefer to leave it open to people who don't have/want a Google account to use.

Just a reminder if you haven't voted in a prior poll yet, you might want to consider doing so! The more votes we get the more accurate the results are at the end <3
This poll will only be open for a week, as we're looking to wrap this up and get going on results, so please cast your votes ASAP. All previous polls will also be closing soon so if you haven't voted in them yet and want to, now would be the time to do so!

*Music begins to play as the intro screen comes up*
CaptainMeme: Hello I'm xX_n00bs1ay3r_Xx and today the minecraft servers are down so I'm playing some weird weeb game instead!
Malkon: Ayyyyy it’s your boy, The_Marvelous_Mr_Malkon here to watch this trainwreck of a playthrough. Fun story, I actually forced n00bster over here to do this because he was complaining to me that he had absolutely nothing to this time of year.
CaptainMeme: Yeah it’s not like I’ve been recently running games or playing them or anything.
Malkon: Nope, you’re a lazy no good couch potato do nothing sonofa-
CaptainMeme: Yes I think we get the picture you arse. Reminder this is a family show.
Malkon: In what universe has this ever been a family show?! *snorts*
CaptainMeme: …er yes, good point. Anyways let’s get started shall we?
*cutscene boots up*
CaptainMeme: What fresh anime hell is this?!
Malkon: You always did say you wanted to be a little more cultured.
CaptainMeme: Dear god. This is not what I meant!
Malkon: Well, too bad because that’s what you get!
CaptainMeme: Why do you hate me?
Malkon: Because you stole 50 cents.
CaptainMeme: Anyways. Okay so there’s this land with some stupid D&D name that sounds like some amateur fantasy novelist wrote to sound “elvish”.
Malkon: *snorts* It’s almost like you have a problem with elves. That’s racist.
CaptainMeme: I’ll have you know I support elves4britian.com every year with a box of crumpets.
Malkon: How charitable of you.
CaptainMeme: I know I’m practically a saint.
*both laugh a bit*
CaptainMeme: Okay so what there’s some war that is happening and big bad country is evil because they all have that look on their face like they’re about to break into that one kid’s house in the christmas movie to steal…err stuff. You know I’ve never actually known what their goal is in that movie.
Malkon: It’s clearly because they enjoy slipping on marbles and getting hit in the face with cans of paint.
CaptainMeme: *chuckles* ah yeah what a classic film. *sighs* Where were we? Oh right now we are some like Prince dude, but they just call him “Lord”. I don’t know any Lords in Europe that dress like this. Is this some like weeb trope?
Malkon: It’s actually fashioned after medieval times. It’s why you won’t find any guns or cars or-
CaptainMeme: Wait, no guns or cars?! What’s the actual point of this?!
Malkon: But there’s magic and horses and-
CaptainMeme: Oh yes, so much better. Please give me some more of those days when people didn’t even have televisions or basic healthcare.
Malkon: Well where I’m from in the fucking USA that’s actually quite problematic.
CaptainMeme: What you don’t have televisions?
Malkon: …nevermind just play the damn game.
CaptainMeme: Okay so this prince just has a bunch of scallywag friends who all look like they are probably dealing drugs to suburban moms. And they all seem to have a different set of skills. For example, this one can…heal…
Malkon: In this game that’s actually a lot more useful than you might imagine. You see because-
CaptainMeme: What the hell? How did she not have basic evasion skills?! How slow is this enemy unit swinging the axe that this girl just stands in front of it and goes “I wonder if I should avoid this.”
Malkon: Yeah, you probably shouldn’t let her-
CaptainMeme: And she’s dead.
Malkon: Ooh boy this is going well for you so far. Well it’s not the end of the world because you have a few vulneraries which heal your units so long as you keep an eye on their-
CaptainMeme: And they’re dead.
Malkon: Wow you may have actually set a record for the quickest you’ve lost a game before.
CaptainMeme: I don’t even really understand, how is this highly paid prince and his entourage not sporting some of the best armor money can buy especially if a war has just started between two kingdoms?! You’d think a castle would employ actual knights and like invest in better defenses where bandits don’t just come in whenever they bloody want to! Plus what’s up with the word bandit anyways? It sounds horrible because it's similar to band aid which is supposed to help you, but these very much don’t do that. What even does that word mean?!
Malkon: Well it’s a term used for like a robber or thief where-
CaptainMeme: Then why don’t they just call them robbers or thieves?!
Malkon: Well I can’t speak on robber but there’s actually a class that’s called thief and they are sometimes recruitable to add to your party so you-
CaptainMeme: Wait, a prince has to employ the help of lowly thieves to beat bandits? Isn’t that like that one spiderman meme where spiderman is pointing at spiderman?
Malkon: I guess I really hadn’t thought about it like that.
CaptainMeme: Well whatever I’m just going to call them mean blokes and that works better for me somehow.
Malkon: Gee I wonder why *snorts*
*CaptainMeme starts the game over but picks Casual mode this time*
Malkon: *mutters under breath* filthy casual.
CaptainMeme: What?
Malkon: Nothing, let’s just do this again.
*CaptainMeme seems to be much better this time around and manages to get through most of the map*
Malkon: Wow who knew you were actually good at games on the easiest mode possible?
CaptainMeme: I swear to god I’m going to wage war on your country if you don’t shut up.
Malkon: Tried and failed my dude.
CaptainMeme: All I’d have to do is elect Trump again.
CaptainMeme: That’s what I thought. Anyways so now this prince lord guy thing has ended up cornering this lead bandit…like what is he, evil Robin Hood?
*Sees a face picture*
Malkon: It’s…actually kind of uncanny how accurate that is.
CaptainMeme: Like wouldn’t a bandit be like gross and haggard since they live off the land or whatever? This guy looks like he was drawn for some romance novel.
Malkon: Do you mean an otome?
CaptainMeme: A what?
Malkon: *Is about to clarify, but realizes he just got Meme to say “A what” in a British accent like in Harry Potter and just snorts* don’t worry about it.
CaptainMeme: *loses a unit and beats the guy, but the guy comes back since we are now on casual mode* The guy got his entire body chopped up by an axe and is somehow just, alive again? Why does this work?
Malkon: You’re the one who can’t even keep a unit alive on casual mode.
CaptainMeme: You know what, that’s it this Let’s Play is over! I’m going to g-
*lots of pings come up on the web browser*
Malkon: *raises eyebrow* holy shit this is a hit. Uhhhh I guess we have to keep it going.
CaptainMeme: *sighs and picks up the controller* fine. Onto Chapter 2…
Malkon: But first let’s go through all the anime recruits we got in the first chapter! *plays some catchy shop music before cutting to the units*

Congratulations to all of Fittest surviving.
I'm actually surprised by that with some of the other names that have dropped.

Holder of the Longest Continuous Weekly Mafiascum Post Record. 1 July 2012 - 16 Feb 2023
*It may be held by someone else if you discount the major downtime in 2012 and 2014, I'm not doing the research.
CaptainMeme: Welcome back to the worst Let’s Play in the entire world. No seriously, it’s pretty bad.
Malkon: Yeah he actually lost all of his units and had to start the game over. *snorts*
CaptainMeme: I swear I will cross this ocean to kick you.
Malkon: Bring it on.
CaptainMeme: You do know I actually know where you live right? You hosted SurvivorMeet 3.
Malkon: *pause* I-I’ve moved.
CaptainMeme: Doubtful.
Malkon: Shut up! I swear I’m house hunting right now so I will move soon to somewhere.
CaptainMeme: Uh huh, sure. Anyways back to this disaster of a Let’s Play. Today we are learning about something called the weapons triangle. It seems kind of silly and with very minor actual repercussions in-
*A unit dies*
CaptainMeme: What the bloody hell? There’s no way something is THAT weak against a lance. It’s a lance for pete’s sake. What did you just not move 2 inches to the left and get skewered?
Malkon: So why this is important kiddos is that weapons with advantages get slight stat boots which increases the likelihood of a critical hit or hits in general. In this case, n00bsl4y3r here just failed to take that into consideration and was taken out with a critical hit.
CaptainMeme: For the love of England. Okay, let’s try this out and-
*criticals against an enemy*
CaptainMeme: Get wrecked losers! *does a little dance*
Malkon: Yes, and on this side of the atlantic ocean, we can see the king of all showboaters floating along.
CaptainMeme: I’ll showboat your mum.
Malkon: What does that even mean?
CaptainMeme: I do not have a clue.
Malkon: Moving on.
CaptainMeme: Okay wait, so these units just moved next to each other and now have something called “Support Conversation” what’s that?
Malkon: It’s where two units spend enough time together that they decide they want to get to know each other a bit more. In fact if the right two characters have enough conversations they could end up wanting to marry each other.
CaptainMeme: Are you telling me I can have a waifu?
Malkon: …Is that all you took away from this conversation?
CaptainMeme: Okay I want the really hot one to be my waifu.
Malkon: Wow. Okay well…you know what to do then I guess. I didn’t even get to talk about the part where affinities with characters can improve-
CaptainMeme: Blah blah blah more waifu!
Malkon: *breathless* oh my god I’ve created a monster.
*The chapter goes well and a support conversation is reached*
CaptainMeme: Yessssss become part of my waifu harem ahahahaha
Malkon: So yeah the chapter is basically done can we move on now?
CaptainMeme: But I want more support with my waifu.
Malkon: I swear to god if you say waifu one more time…but no you can only get one support conversation per chapter. So if you want more you have to-
*Boss dies and next chapter begins*
Malkon: Oh look I didn’t even need to motivate you because-
*next support conversation is reached*
Malkon: …
*chapter ends*
Malkon: …this is the weirdest motivation I’ve ever seen.
*this repeats until final support is reached the female blushes as the characters kiss*
CaptainMeme: Okay I got my waifu, now did I win the game?
Malkon: Well. You’re on your way. I think you only have like 20 more chapters and like 5 side chapters. Oh you can also attempt to get children and-
CaptainMeme: Wait?! I CAN MAKE CHILDREN?!
Malkon: …I mean-
*sidequest: you have a child! Pops up on the screen*
CaptainMeme: *clicks the button rapidly*
Malkon: I think we are going to let Crazy McGee over here get a child and we will return to you next episode. Meanwhile we get to recruit all the characters in this chapter. Enjoy this music.
