Just out of curiosity, during nominations had someone said Anakin Skywalker, would we treat that as a separate character from Vader?

Okay....something I never expected to happen in these games has happened, and I really don't know how to handle this. A user has a bizarre request, that I normally would have just ignored, but like I said this is just so bizarre. I asked them if they would share what this request is, so we can discuss, it, but also gave them the option not to.

The user has decided not to come forward.

These games are just meant to be fun consensus games based on all of our likes. I have found out a lot going on that I didn't know about, and it has turned ugly, and frankly I am shocked. It's come to my attention that there has been gambling, and betting on these games at another site.

I might be making a brash decision, and I might change my mind, if you all convince me, but I feel like it's the best/right thing to do is to cancel the game. I don't want anyone losing or gaining money on these games. That's absurd.

Now I'm curious as to what the betting odds are. I don't know why someone would want to bet much on this in general, since it doesn't take that many people to manipulate the results either way.

Not an easy decision but feel free to pause a few days if you need to think it over

Very true. I'm enough of a contrarian that I would happily screw people over that would do something as dumb as bet on a goofy message board poll.

Wow, that's crazy. People will gamble on anything, I guess. Not only that, now it leads to the possibility of outside collusion and people trying to sway the game in favor of themselves or people they know winning money. As much as I'd love to continue, it doesn't feel right having that cloud looming over the game, and I'd be totally fine with canceling it. Or at the very least taking a pause to think about the situation.

If they already placed their bets and can't take them back, then I'd totally be down for screwing them over by going for a joke winner that no one would bet on. But I don't think we have any way of knowing that for sure.

At the same time the previous ones could have also had people betting on them to see how it'd go and now they're getting more people into it.

Whatever gets decided is fine with me.

It also may affect future save that's, because this was going on during the Nintendo character save that as well, and who knows how much longer than that.

But yes, this game is canceled, and if I ever decide to do another one, of course I will let everyone know.

That just seems so bizarre that for all of the possible things to gamble on, that this would be one of them.

Kinda weird that this came out today. Either yesterday or two days ago, something happened in one of the rounds that made me think If someone took this game way too seriously, then this is a way to try and manipulate the game. I think what occurred in that instance was 100% innocent, but it made me consider how it could be used in a manipulative manner.

Are you talking about Round 27, when Xethuminra "mistakenly" saved Pupu 4 minutes early? It seemed like an innocent mistake and such a thing has happened before, but if someone were to intentionally make that "mistake" to bait someone else into not saving that character (thinking they're already safe) and that leads to them getting eliminated, that could be seen as a potential underhanded tactic.

Agreed. Thanks for all of the fun, Kaja. Also to WafflehouseJK and (RIP) Popcorn_Fairy for hosting some of the older contests. They're awesome too.

If they didn't bet on waifu, then they deserve to be "befriended" by Nanoha. And by "befriended", I of course mean "blasted with a magic laser cannon"
