It's Results Time

There was way more activity on the poll than I expected, but now that it's closed, the results are:

Cass Cain: 5 votes Morrowind: 1 votes Hollow Knight: 5 votes Sekiro: 4 votes Disco Elysium: 10 votes

Disco Elysium is way out in the lead so far, but that's just the boring old regular votes. We still have to hand out the Bonus Votes!

Yes, just like in Mario Party, here comes Toad and Koopa Troopa to invalidate all your hard work with a bunch of arbitrary bullshit!

First off, we'd like to thank each of the projects that didn't get any votes for participating, but unfortunately you can't get Bonus Votes if you didn't get any regular votes. Better luck next time!

As for our remaining projects, you're in for a special, honey-sweet treat, because we've invited our good friend Queen Bee to present her very own specialty: the Buzzy Bonus Votes! These votes are for the projects that have the most 'buzz' about them!

The first Buzzy Bonus Vote is the 'Reply Buzz' vote! It goes to the project that generated the most buzz in the poll's replies!

With a total of one reply, the Reply Buzz bonus vote goes to Cass Cain, courtesy of fellow comic book drama aficionado, Lobac! Thanks, Lobac!

...

The second Buzzy Bonus Vote is the 'Reblog Buzz' vote! It goes to the project that generated he most buzz in the poll's reblogs!

With a total of one reblog, the Reblog Buzz bonus vote goes to Hollow Knight, courtesy of fellow project idea accumulator, Red! Thanks, Red!

...

The final Buzzy Bonus Vote is the 'Dash Buzz' vote! It goes to the project with the subject that most recently organically appeared on Sception's dashboard!

With a most recent Dash appearance of 7 minutes ago, the Dash Buzz bonus vote goes to Cassandra Cain, courtesy of fellow Cass fan, aingeal98! Thanks Aingeal!

Now, zome of you might be thinking the Dash Buzz bonuz vote iz a bit unfair, zinze Zzeption followz the 'Cazzandra Cain' tag, and doezn't follow any tagz for the other project ideaz in thiz poll. But poztz wouldn't be showing up on hiz dash 'organically' if he had zkewed the resultz by following extra tagz juzt for the poll, right? Bezidez, Mario Par..., um, This Poll iz just a game! It'z not worth getting upzet about it! We're juzt having zome fun here!

...

So with the Buzzy Bonus Votes all distributed our final vote total comes to OH NO, IT'S BOWSER!!!!

Grawr! Yes, it's me, Bowser! King of the Koopas! If there's one thing I hate as an absolute monarch, it's extreme inequality! And in my opinion the results of this poll were way too extremely in-equal! So now it's time for some Bowser Brand Bonus Equality!

In the name of Bonus Equality, I'm going to give One Vote from the project that got the most votes to EACH of the other projects that got any votes at all! So that's Minus Four votes from Disco Elysium, and Plus One vote to each other Project that's still in the running! Now THOSE results are looking WAY more equal!

YOU'RE WELCOME!

...

Oh, wow. That Bowser sure does know a thing or two about fairness and equality. So, after Queen Bee's Buzzy Bonus Votes AND Bowser's Bonus Equality, the final results of the poll are as follows:

Cassandra Cain: 8 votes

Morrowind: 2 votes

Hollow Knight: 7 votes

Sekiro: 5 votes

Disco Elysium: 6 votes

Wow! What a close poll!

But we have our winner, fair and square. Sception's next blogging project is going to be reviving and continuing the long sidelined Cassandra Cain Re-read!

...

If you voted for one of the other projects, though, don't worry! I don't stick to anything for too long, so I'm sure the other projects here, particularly Disco Elysium and Hollow Knight, will get their turn sooner rather than later! Though Hollow Knight might get superseded by its sequel if Silksong is released before I get to it.

And while I may have (intentionally) obfuscated this up front, the real goal of this poll wasn't to see which project generated the most interest among my followers - as I've said in the past, I'm more than happy performing for an audience of only one. Rather, what I really wanted was to see which projects generated no interest at all. Thanks to this poll, I can put four potential projects to bed before I even started them, significantly reducing my overall backlog. I can also safely play those games on my own time without feeling any pressure to make a whole thing about it.

@angst-and-fajitas said: Kirby loves tomatoes, right? Maybe he's got some of those!

ooh, I bet you’re right!

(this reminds me that in high school I dated someone who would just eat tomatoes like apples, and they went to a different school. so sometimes their school ended before mine, and they’d just. come stand in my classroom and eat a tomato in the corner. they were very odd, but it’s hard to be normal and date me XD )

Hefty ask and one that likely came up already, no shame if ya can't but if you had to pick ONE for each category- what's your favorite 2D mario game and 3D mario game- subjective opinions and "memories of playing with x y or z" allowed and encouraged to influence your decision.

Jeeze, it’s never easy to pick any of these, my tastes flip flop all the time.

I think recently I declared Super Mario Bros. 2 my favorite of the 2D bunch, but I’m not so sure now. SMB1 is so fun to blaze through in an evening, and SMB3 is so well made, it really set the standard. All I can say for certain is that it’s absolutely one of the NES trilogy games.

It’s a little easier for 3, I’ll go with Super Mario 3D World since it’s so close to being my idea of a perfect Mario game. Ever since I was little and first played Mario 64 I dreamed of of a game that was a little more functionally like the 2D games, with power ups that also act as your health, and more linear obstacle courses to take advantage of Mario’s abilities better, and of course the multiple playable characters. The Switch version giving the game a speed bost is was sealed it as my favorite 3D Mario.  All it’s missing as a Yoshi you can ride around, more bosses, maybe the Koopalings, and a slightly better aesthetic. I’ll admit to not liking the perfect geometrical shapes making up the courses in Mario games.

Having seen some mod pics I can confirm the mods carry ethereal power and are ultimately killin' it in all perceivable (good) ways.

AGREED

Seeing as you're fused, do you LIKE your new style or does your new personality find it clashing?

Yursuki(yuri) natsuki didn’t seem to fight me though to speak so that’s an improvement....
