I'm glad she got this much support! Hopefully it'll be enough. Thank you to everyone who helped.

Android 21 is listed as having 12 and 2.

Looks like he was split up due to spacing weirdness in Excel. He should have 25. I'll edit the posts maybe later.

dude getting 32 noms for a relatively obscure character from a niche cult game is no small feat, you should be super proud you managed to get board 8 to care about rallying something that isn't a funny horse

Yeah if it's 256 Mog is in for sure. I think in 2013 Preston rallied for Mr. G&W like the day before noms closed, got like, 12 supporters and he got in.

I dont see my name there

i have no idea how my list got so fucked up, there were like three people on there twice and i was missing three. i think my phone and laptop aren't syncing my notes right. or i'm just incompetent at list-keeping

i KNOW i added you because after I typed your name out I thought "is that a homestar reference" and went back and saw someone had asked you that already

ANYWAY:



i fixed it, sorry!

Shout-out to Zen for overcoming serious Metal LFF and having Metal Sonic become the moat rallied non-NRT character here. As the person leading the first character rally for this contest, congrats -- I appreciated your good-spirited support for Metal Man along the way!

Yo, but like what's funny about Epona though? She's shaped like a horse to eat some oats bruh.
---

thanks @HaRRicH! i think the key to a successful rally is just sitting at your boring job all day refreshing Board 8 and waiting for those "i dont care who i nom give me ideas" topics to pop up

Looking at the nom totals Im disappointed that Im the only one that nominated Poppi

YES

"Yoooosh."

So now that the tally's done, which characters placed the highest here without getting a rally to speak of here? Just guessing at the ones that got 10+ noms here (???-marks by the ones I'm least sure about).....

24 Noms:
Chloe Price - Life Is Strange

---

Monika, Richter, Nightmare, Android 21, Tetra, Quiet, Kiryu and Hat Kid had dedicated rallies or people going from topic to topic trading for them at least. Maybe Monokuma too.
---

Cool, edited it, thanks.

All things considered, it's pretty impressive Life is Strange got top honors in this break-down as well as another main character near the top AND a rally for one of its NPCs. Life is Strange wasn't that strong here in the last game contest, nor was The Walking Dead -- the other stand-out game in its genre.

Let's see if they can release the kra-can.
---

I feel like Life is Strange was a recent blip during the last game contest. It's apparently sold over 3 million copies by this point, so I'd expect it to be at least a bit stronger. I actually got introduced to it through that game contest, now it's my favorite game.
