ok so it's been... *checks notes* exactly a month since we posted the form, so let's talk about it!
During the course of the month, there were 29* responses, *hopefully* with no repeats(since we may have forgotten to make it so that you could only submit one. woops!)
*there was 1 submission that was deleted due to it being in bad faith.
Anyways, here's the stats:
86.2%(25 responses) voted to keep locking in teams!
93.1%(27 responses) voted for a longer event with less attacks!
It was a close match between keeping non-gender bonuses like pre-2025 or keeping them like 2025; one vote off in fact! As a result, i check with mod ☀️ and decided to have us run with the non-gender bonus system that was done pre-2025.
In other news, we'll be keeping the revenge chain cap, which sweeped with a whole 22 votes! However, after some deliberation with mod ☀️, we will be doing it a *bit* differently to be more in line with the intention of the revenge cap system... more to come later~
Also, just to clarify here, since someone mentioned it, flagless coins will be valid attacks; we determined this partway through 2025's coin fight but i don't know if we made a proper announcement about it then. oops
And finally: themes! Out of a total *128* votes and 3 suggestions, i will now be revealing the 8 themes that will be in the final bracket... (imagine me doing that award show letter bit here, since it's important)
First we have the top 3 finalist themes that i suggested:
And... coming in at 12 votes each, we have a 3 way tie! The lucky 3 are:
Finally, we have our 2 suggested themes:
Life & Death (suggested twice, by the way)
All 8 will be going into the final bracket, which will be posted at noon EST on June 12th... Mark your calendars, and good timezone to you all!
