i had to block the hg polls because there were Too Many Of Them, but i'm just wondering... are people voting as in "in a direct combat between X and Y, who would win?" or "out of these two, who has better chances for survival?". it's been ages since i've read the books, but iirc there was a good chunk of Trying Not To Die, not just seeking out to eliminate one's opponents. i realize this would've made the voting more difficult, but i can't imagine, say, either lxc or wn starting a fight with the explicit purpose of killing each other. they're definitely the "wait it out and avoid killing until it's absolutely necessary" type imo! well. poor wn probably gets killed quite early on, but.

#iirc there were also Alliances but i guess that makes the polls literally impossible #shrimp thoughts #and also like. what are the criteria. because for example. oyzz vs a-qing yeah?#ok so he's a born and bred cultivator. he has training and resources #a-qing is a street rat and wouldn't bat an eye before fighting dirty but she probably has no idea about the stuff cultivators do and have #and like. what does the arena look like? are there regular ghosts/stuff as well?#because i guess it would be easy to get a creature that can shapeshift #or even worse: one that can kill people and wear their skin #i also saw a jc/jgy poll but like. at what point. what resources do they have at what point of the games #do they meet 1:1 #THIS IS IMPORTANT you can't just go 'oh yeah X would lose based on how they are in canon' the canon doesn't have hunger games!!#..............yeah this is why i don't play this game lmao i would just overthink every single poll
