Welcome to the 2022 Character Poll!

Here, you will rank characters from this year's games on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of , , and . 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:



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, (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).

Survivor: Adorable Critters

Survivor: Risk vs Reward

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.

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 2022. You can discuss your ratings but please don't kill any of the mystery

Hey MS,

We've arrived at the point of the year that we need to wrap up character of the year polling so Meme and I can get to work putting together results to present to you! Current plan is to cut off voting by 11:59pm Eastern time on December 20th.

We'll announce a starting date and time for reveals at some point after that.

Get your voice heard and your votes in by this time and day!

Sorry y'all, this is taking a tentative hiatus. My father is having surgery on Friday and I haven't been up for doing anything with it. Probably going to get revealed in a couple of months once things have calmed down and I'm in a better headspace

Oh now I feel bad. Take care of yourself please Malkon.

I should have said something sooner honestly. My bad for keeping you all waiting <3

<3

Hey all!

Thanks for the patience with us. It was a rough start to the year, but I can officially say...

Expect the fun to begin within the next 24 hours <3

Oh hype.

Just so nobody is surprised when a random account posts some of these - Cap here, this is my alt account.

The story/flavourtext is Malkon's work, I've made the graphics; we'll be posting the first chapter later today!

????: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, binaries and non binaries, welcome to another riveting episode of... *gestures to the crowd*

Canned Audience Response: RISK. VS. REWARD!

*a bunch of theme music plays indicating that we are all now all part of some weird probably Japanese Gameshow despite the host speaking in English*

????: *steps out of the shadows* My name is Alex Trebek and I'll be your host for the evening. Welcome to Risk Vs Reward where you will select from one of many categories in order to try to earn dollars. The person with the highest dollar amount at the end wins the cash banked. Let's meet our contestants shall we?

*camera pans to three people behind individualized desks who all are clapping because apparently that's what all gameshow staged contestants do when you first meet them for reasons*

Alex: First, we meet, all the way from New York, xofelf!

Xof: *squints really hard* ummm Monty?

Alex: *nervously chuckles* I have no idea what you are talking about. I don't know anyone named Monty. I'm Alex Trebek.

Xof: But aren't you supposed to be hosting Jeopardy if this is the real Alex Trebek?

Alex: Shut up. Next up we meet, all the way from the opposite coastline from Oregon, Malkon!

Malkon: *squints hard* You know what, I think they're right. You do look like Monty.

Alex: I'M ALEX TREBEK END OF STORY!

*Malkon and xof continue looking very skeptical*

Alex: Ahem. *pats self down and goes back to cheesy gameshow host* And finally, from, oh my almost halfway across the world from Great Britain, it's CaptainMeme!

CaptainMeme: Kebert Xela!

*Everyone looks at him weird as he screams the name*

CaptainMeme: Now we've got you you bloody faker. The real Alex Trebek would be yoinked to the fifth dimension if you were him.

Alex: ...So first off, that was an episode of Family Guy, which do you always believe what you watch on tv? Second, Jeopardy isn't real, it's a lie created by my evil doppelgänger. And finally, if you want to keep distracting this fine totally real audience from watching a riveting gameshow and coming away with the potential to win fabulous cash prizes, be my guest.

Malkon: Eh I guess money's a pretty good reason to pretend you aren't somehow Monty.

Xof: I'm still going to have a talk with Zoraster after this is done, but sure let's keep going.

CaptainMeme: KEBERT XELA!

Alex: You already tried that.

CaptainMeme: I just wanted to be sure.

Malkon: Maybe try it again in case it’s like Beetlejuice rules?

Alex: Ooookay moving on. Time to reveal our categories: 42-33 *canned laughter*, 32-23 *slightly less canned laughter*, 22-13 *a singular canned chuckle*and 12-4 *cricket noises*. Let's go ahead and figure out who will be the first person to choose a category.

*A random wheel drops in from the sky with three faces on it. It spins until it lands on CaptainMeme.*

Alex: It looks like CaptainMeme will be choosing our first category, what'll it be?

CaptainMeme: Kebert-

Alex: Okay seriously you're going to have to stop doing that if you want money.

CaptainMeme: *Grumbles* fine, let's start with 42-33 for $200 "Alex" *visibly uses air quotes*.

Alex: Wow really going for the big bucks right off the bat are we? *rolls eyes* Guess you are going for the Non-risk vs No Reward am I right? *chuckles*

CaptainMeme: ...Do you want me to play or not?

Alex: ...42-33 for $200 it is. *mutters under his breath something along the lines of they aren't paying me enough* And the question is...

Capybara that low is kind of criminal

Lemur going out before a character that was medevaced during the first challenge.

Damn
.

Hey all,

In our haste to get this up, we realize we made an error and need to rectify the situation as we aren't sure what this affects. We ask for some patience and understanding as we work this out.

As soon as we have worked it out, we will continue with reveals and amend prior graphics if that applies.

Thank you for continued patience

~COTY team

We've fixed some issues with the graphics in the original post - second will be up in a few hours!

*the first category is very fierce and all contestants seem to have equal footing*

Alex: And after Round 1, let’s check on updated scores. It looks like xofelf has $800, Malkon has $650 and CaptainMeme has $1000!

*Canned Audience oohs and ahs*

Alex: Yes yes, quite exciting. Anyone could still take it, based on how many categories we still have to go. Let’s take a brief moment to get to know our contestants better.

*He walks over to CaptainMeme*

Alex: You are currently in the lead! I bet your family and friends back home are so proud of you! Tell us more about yourself.

CaptainMeme: …Umm there’s no one here and you already know a lot about me.

Alex: Well right *chuckles* but there will be tens of people watching this! You should tell them about you.

CaptainMeme: Bollocks. Okay well if you insist on being like that, I suppose I can oblige. Well I like sandcastles, and crumpets, and torturing people, and drawings of meltan, and definitely nothing else.

Alex: *blinks a bit* Thank you for that exclusive riveting bit of information. Moving on to xofelf who is currently in second place. Very respectable. Tell me, how is New York this time of year?

Xofelf: It’s better than Old York.

*canned laughter*

Alex: Is there anyone you’d like to give a shoutout to back at home rooting you on?

Xofelf: Yes I’d like to thank the 95 people I’m currently dating or flirtating for the love and support. I love you all.

Alex: …95?

Xofelf: You look surprised, is that not normal?

Alex: Well it sounds like you have err a lot of support. Moving onto third place Malkon. You aren’t out of it but you sure need some momentum in this next round. How do you deal with pressure?

Malkon: Well, I’m currently dropping all of my commitments, unable to cope with life, and contemplating committing sudoku on a daily basis.

Alex: That sounds awful! And I’m not really sure we’re allowed to talk about this on television but…committing sudoku? You don’t mean…

Malkon: Yes I think daily about finishing every sudoku puzzle ever created. Perhaps then my life will have meaning again.

Alex: Phew I definitely did not think that’s where you were going with that.

Malkon: *blinks* going with what?

Alex: Nevermind, let’s cutaway to a word from our sponsor.

Commercial Narrator: How many animals have you checked in on a daily basis? Have you considered donating money to Adorable Critters lately? Well if you haven’t, you should.

*Sarah McLachlan’s In the Arms of the Angel plays as pictures of ridiculously cute animals appear on the screen*

Commercial Narrator: As you can see, cute animals need love to. And for a low low cost of $1.2 billion a month, you too can support these cute and clearly cared for creatures. Just look at those faces and tell me you can’t resist giving up your soul to Hades for them.

*more cute animals appear as the music gets louder*

Commercial Narrator: So please, just think of the animals, and their children.

*cute animal babies appear on the screen*

Commercial Narrator: Act now, and we’ll throw in another couple of cute animal pictures on the screen for your contribution.

Alex: Well, I’m sure that- *looks at the contestants all on their phones* Umm what are you doing?

Malkon: *sniffling* IM GIVING AWAY ALL OF MY LIFE SAVINGS TO ADORABLE CRITTERS!

CaptainMeme: DID YOU SEE THAT BABY DOLPHIN?! *tears are running down his face*

Xofelf: *making whimpering noses* I WAN TO GIV DA AMINALS ALL DA LUV!

Alex: …for the love of Monty… *coughs* can we get on with it.

*the contestants sniffle and glare a bit, before reluctantly putting their phones away, a collective “fine” is heard.*

Alex: We last left off with xofelf who will choose the next CAT-egory. *chuckles*

*all contestants glare at Alex*

Alex: *clears throat* Please start us off.

Xofelf: I’ll pick 32-23 for $1000 Alex.

Alex: Going big! We respect. Okay, your question for 32-23 for $1000 is…

Man. Way higher showing than I was expecting for gumshoe.

Gandalf robbed

Gandolf.

I feel like the specs in general liked Gumshoe, perhaps more than his fellow players did?

I think there were also fewer voters for each game so if somebody specifically downvoted some people, it shows more than other years.

every single ips character must score somewhere in the middle. it's like some sort of international law.

Gumshoe taught me about Ramen! I knew about Ramen, but not really. During that game, i went and ordered some from a takeaways i’d never visited before!
