2024 Speakeasy Animal Popularity Poll (WINNER REVEAL)

[Ausuka]

Putting on a pagetop that we now have (expired on 2024-09-13 18:54:39) left until voting closes, and the ranking begins! Please vote here, if you haven't already!

I'm planning to use the following tiebreaking method for the ranking, starting at the first point and continuing until a distinction is reached if the tie isn't broken;

1. Highest number of 10s
   
2. Lowest number of 0s
   
3. Highest standard deviation
   
4. Randomisation

[Ythan]

The number one Pokémon imo.

[marcistar]

Hey guys please vote cat's 10/10

[Gamma Emerald]

The number one Pokémon imo.

I think a lot of people would agree with this

[Cheery Dog]

Only in national (and kanto) dex

I feel like lowest standard deviation would break ties better

We now have... about 9 hours until voting closes! I'll reveal hints and a schedule shortly after this happens, but you can expect reveals to begin tomorrow (September 14).

As a final challenge of sorts, does anyone want to try their hand at ranking the average rating of the teams? I'm curious to see what people expect. I'd also like to see top 10 predictions if people have them!

1. PET
2. SPEED
3. SKY
4. FOREST
5. DESERT
6. RAINFOREST

It was hard to commit to a definite ranking in the middle area here. 7 and 12, POLAR and URBAN, seem like they could be polarizingly popular or unpopular. 8-10 were hard to order so I gave them all 8th and resumed at 11.

7. POLAR
8. PASTORAL
8. LARGE
8. COASTAL
11. AMPHIBIOUS
12. URBAN

These 2 are bottom 2 though

13. AQUARIC
14 SCARY

[ssbm_Kyouko]

To be clear those are my guesses at where the teams will rank, not where I'd rank them

[Ythan]

polarizingly

Hehe

Right I would like to make an avatar bet:
I bet that "horse" will rank higher than every member of the "urban" team. First person to accept this bet gets to choose my avatar if I'm wrong for two weeks. If I'm right I'll choose their avatar for two weeks.

[SleepyKrew]
