We're already at the highest vote count in several rounds. I'd be surprised if we get many more votes if any at this point.
Wonder why the sudden poll popularity. |

I actually think both Mangler and Cool Breeze were pretty well developed when you consider there amount of "screen" time. Mangler was a brash cocky 18 year old who had a temper, was quick to judge, but also had a strong sense of duty. Cool Breeze was a brash, cocky young kid also, but where Mangler was very self-confident, Cool-Breeze's cockiness came more from his insecurity and need to impress his fellow soldiers (in particular Stalker.) Where Mangler came off as arrogant (think high-school jock ' big shot), Cool-Breeze came off as more obnoxious (think class-clown). Then, as tends to happen in comic-verse, both redeemed themselves before their demise. Just my 2-cents.
Also, to keep up with the thread topic of prominent obscure non-affiliates, wouldn't the White Clown have to rank in front of Gamesmaster as well as El Jefe and most of the obscure generals? Quote:
Again, virtually none of the evidence supports your claim. Most of the praise is directed toward the "episode", not the character. You assume because 1) the title shares the character's name and because 2) the creators, who are obviously biased, praise the episode, and because 3) some people in other threads don't talk much of a few marginal characters who only appeared in Sunbow, that the Gamesmaster must therefore be great? Your logic is what's preposterous. Most of the characters that people care about--Duke, Destro, Snake Eyes, etc--appear both in the comics and the cartoons, and those characters are talked about all the time. I suspect people don't talk much about Hector and Gamesmaster and others is that one they're marginal and obscure, and two they're not that interesting. People don't discuss Cool Breeze and Mangler much either but it's not because they aren't aware of them, it's because their lack of development hasn't made them prominent characters, and since Gamesmaster hasn't had much prominence in the mythos either, people aren't going to talk much about him. The low noms for other Sunbow-only characters reflect the fans' lack of interest in them. But again none of this really matters because everyone here who is voting knows by now who GM is yet he still lacks supports. That's the only evidence you need to show you that he isn't as great as you think he should be. It's your subjective opinion that he's great, not some fact of a survey.

I think all the back and forth has kept it near the top of the Recent threads pane on the right side there. Or it's close to the 200 mark which calls people's attention.

I'm just saying when Coldfront gets in I'm going to start causing so much drama that the only thing you will type after you vote is "In before the lock!"

We had 53 votes 3 weeks ago in poll 188, so this isn't that far above the norm. We were stuck at 49 for a while after that.
Altitude is getting dropped, so there'll be two adds. Austin's butt was saved by a nose. Doesn't look like anyone is in danger of being dropped next round.

Stone 12 Captain Mihn 12 B.A.T. v2 12 Honda Lou West 12 Clean Sweep 12 Crimson Asp 11 Over Kill (cyborg) 9 Airborne (Sky Patrol) 9 A.V.A.C. 9 Ozone 9 Airwave 8 Hydro Viper 8 Guillotine 8 Pale Peony 6 Mangler 6 Night Creeper 6 White Clown 6 H.I.S.S.

Dang it - Just barely missed the poll - I think I would have gone Backblast though, so idk that it matters
If it's not too late JJ, please add Black Dragon (Extreme) and Cobra Mortal

I expect Dog Fight, Wild Card and Big Bear compete for the top spot this time.
I'm partial to Dog Fight if he's in the race, otherwise I'll vote Austin. Crosshair is a potential threat though if people liked him enough. |
