Alright! It's time for the Cull Polls!
So, we've got 222 blogs in this competition, and we've got to get that down to 128. That means that 94 blogs have to go. And that's a lot of polls—94 to be exact.
Most of these will be a simple, randomly assigned, 1v1. One blog wins. One blog loses. Unfortunately, there will have to be some Cull Polls with 3 blogs, due to the amount of blogs in them (190) not being double the amount of eliminations needed (94). For these, the blog with the LEAST VOTES gets eliminated, and the other two are kept.
Now you might have noticed a discrepancy. 222 blogs made it here, but only 190 are in the Cull Polls. What gives? Where did 32 of those blogs go?
Here's the thing: I lied to you in my pinned post. The amount of times someone was submitted DOES matter! I just said that so that people didn't spam. If they get submitted 2 or more times, they skip the Cull Polls entirely! That being said, here is the list of blogs that automatically have a place in the actual competition:

Give me a moment to sort out the polls themselves, as well as sorting out the propaganda submitted for them (which I really should have been doing during the qualifying polls, but I digress) but they should start soon
