Today was originally "bad fanbases" but as I was typing up the rules I realized how mean-spirited the topic could become and I want to steer clear of that. If there's significant interest in doing that one I'll consider adding it back to the schedule.

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just pick the first 4 you say when I do the tally. If you list the same character multiple times I'm going to count it as 1 vote. Be nice to others and their potentially bad opinions. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Don't take this topic series too seriously. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Bad video game-specific rules: Please vote for games actually known for their poor quality, do not vote for something like "Final Fantasy XIII" just because you do not like running down hallways when things like Superman 64 exist. I'm not going to police this much but try using your better judgment.

Please also do not vote for games just because they have bad fanbases, as much as I'd like to see League get dumped on, the game isn't actually bad

YESTERDAY: We had a Tifa/Zelda tie going into the last page and for a few straight votes nobody voted for either. The last vote broke the tie in favor of Tifa.

Shoutouts to Squall for starting way behind then slowly coming back throughout the day. If we had kept going he might have actually overtaken Zelda who lost a lot of steam after some of the Contestheads (you know who you are) showed up to remind everyone that Zelda never did great in contests and only really did well in 2018.

Draven managed to get 5 votes by the end but I think the ultimate insult to him was that people refused to extensively debate his conclusion. Board 8 remains dismissive of Draven and his ilk, as they should.

We got some good new contest-related Rushmores nominated, please take time to check the Google Sheet and second some noms if you have the time. Thank you!

ChatGPT's Rushmore: I described a GameFAQs Character Battle to it and what we usually vote for, but it kept giving me just Nintendo characters even when I told it we also like JRPGs, and a lot of the times it would give Pikachu twice. I eventually got a "decent" list:

AI Rushmore by Bing AI: It took forever to get anything halfway decent, it was really struggling with Pikachu:
