My internet died literally as I was sending the list. I am going to go walk the dogs and see if it comes back, please give me a grace period if it does not by the time I'm back

Sure. I can start tallying without individual lists anyway (and I'm not going to finish tonight anyway). As long as people say "Working on it," so I know it's coming they can submit after deadline.

My internet did come back so I can submit now

Think I'm just waiting on Suprak now.

I will have it in by tonight! Im almost done. Thanks for waiting for me!

Sent. Thanks again!

Awesome.

No longer accepting any new submissions. I'll begin tallying tomorrow.

Also want to say a big thanks to everyone who submitted write-ups. They will be a big help, as there's a LOT of characters and while I remember some of them, it's been a while for me on some others.

Update:

Got everything into the spreadsheet finally. Now to start the tallying!

342 is the most characters anyone listed. That's a lot of characters lol

What the fuck, I ranked 334 and thought I got pretty much all of them lol

Oh, on second thought though, I left out Layton and Luke (felt weird to rank them) and every character in LvW who doesn't appear in a trial (some of which are on the original list)

Yeah, ranking Layton and Luke was hard, wasn't totally sure what to do with them

For Layton and Luke (and Chelmey and Barton) I ranked them much lower than I would've normally because they don't feel like Ace Attorney characters to me.

Most of the LvW cast is weird for this very reason, but I decided to rank everyone who appears in a trial and isn't from a Layton game - some of the characters in LvW feel like Layton characters but some of them feel like AA characters (Barnham, Darklaw, and Greyerl for instance) and I didn't want to leave them off

Yeah in retrospect maybe I should've just did what you did. I have a chunk of characters where I'm like "oh this isn't even an AA character really" and I dropped them lower for that reason alone.

I mean I ranked like everyone who's dead and shit and probably shouldn't have done that either but OH WELL

HOPING to have results start next week, but I can't make any promises. What takes the longest is probably taking everything from individual sheets, and merging them together .

Was wondering if the person who voted for 342 people missed anyone, and the answer is: Yes. lol

If I had a nickel for every character named Balmung in Ace Attorney, I'd have two nickels. It's not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Also characters whose name is a pun on "patrol".

Could've been three if AAI2 stuck with the fan name.

And we've got our character count!

Made some good progress today. 366 characters! More than enough to fill a calendar. I did have to rule one character not a REAL character: Court Jury During Trials. The person who ranked them ranked the other jury members, so I'm not sure what it's supposed to be. I'll announce that now so anyone who'd like to object can.

Also had to send a few clarifications out. But only a couple things had to be taken care of.

I forgot that I should have ranked like, the Bailiff

Guard who stands behind the defendants in the visiting room.

Maybe it's a category header that they forgot to erase?

Maybe they meant the gallery? They do talk a lot.

Looks like I was looking at the wrong column. So I'm just going to assume they meant all the jurors.

No, wait. I had it right the first time. This is so very confusing. I'll just pm them to clarify.

This is exactly who I meant. I Admittedly badly worded it in my ranking.

Alright, that settles that then. I was very confused as to what you meant.

Hoping to have some results starting tomorrow (maybe tonight we'll see.)

Hoping to start the list today. Did have one result tallied completely wrong which I have to fix (luckily it was caught, cause it was a big one!)

Looking forward to it.
