LAST POLL’S WINNER(S)
Selena makes her final escape! LAST POLL’S DROPOUT(S) NEWEST POLL’S MEMBER(S) Alex Destro. DROP ZONE Body Bags needs 0 votes. NEW REVISED RULES 1) VOTES: Vote for one character in the poll. In case of a tie, winners will be listed alphabetically. 2) NOMINATIONS: Post 2 nominations per poll, only one per character. Characters with the most nominations will replace those who win or drop from the poll. 3) ELIGIBILTY: To be eligible, characters must meet the following criteria below: a. With notable exceptions, characters must have originated in officially licensed G.I. Joe media, including domestic or international toy lines, animation, comic books, file cards, films, novels, short stories, or digital books from Kindle Worlds. b. Characters that are not human or humanoid are ineligible. Some ineligible examples include protoplasmic blobs, synthoids in non-human form, man-eating flytraps and other plants, Timber, Junkyard, Polly and other animals. c. Multiple versions of an original character are ineligible. Some ineligible examples are Tiger Force Duke, ROC Rip Cord, Renegades Tunnel Rat, Viper (v4), etc. On the other hand, some versions of troopers, however similar, will be considered as separate characters, such as officers or leaders (Alley Viper Officer, Crimson Guard Squad Leader, Red Ninja Leader, etc.), troopers from different units (Night Stalkers Shock Troops, Night Watch, Python Patrol, Crimson Strike Team, etc.), improved or enhanced troopers (Alley Viper II, BAT versions II through V, Inferno BAT, etc.), and troopers with particular distinctions (Bazooka Trooper, Arctic HISS Driver, MARS Industries Weapons Officer, Viper Guard, Crimson Neo-Viper, etc.). d. Characters that have appeared in G.I. Joe media but originated in Transformers, MASK, Street Fighter, Indiana Jones and other brands—regardless of any affiliation they may have with G.I. Joe characters within their respective universes—are ineligible with a few notable exceptions: Sgt. Slaughter of course is a special exception given that this character left the WWF to become a G.I. Joe and in many ways has become virtually synonymous with the G.I. Joe brand. Roddy Piper is another notable exception. Though not as prominent or popular as Slaughter, Piper followed a similar path in becoming an Iron Grenadier and is thus eligible. Characters—such as Stealth B.A.T. and Construction B.A.T.—that did not originate outside of G.I. Joe but were created within a G.I. Joe crossover series are also eligible as G.I. Joe characters. As a result of majority decision, Matt Trakker, Marissa Faireborn, Bullet Man, and Action Man are also eligible exceptions. e. Characters based on unproduced prototypes, unlicensed customs, unpublished sketches or narratives, and published retractions are ineligible. Some ineligible examples are Kaos Crew, Chef, Timbit and other pre-2009 Canadian Convention figures, Dave Dorman’s Dreadnok, and Rocky Balboa. f. Characters from parallel or alternate universes that resemble original characters are ineligible. Some ineligible examples are the Baroness from “World’s Without End” and Xamot from “Shattered Glass.” g. Characters that share the same given names as original characters will be assumed to be the same characters as the originals and are thus ineligible unless there is substantial evidence to indicate that the given names are coincidental. Some ineligible examples are Air Raid (F. Talltree), Rampage (S. Guderian), Benchpress (C. McConnel), and Speed Metal (S. Guderian). h. Characters that share the same code name as original characters will also be assumed to be the same characters as the originals and are thus ineligible unless there is substantial evidence to indicate that the code names are coincidental. Some ineligible examples are Breaker (A. Shaz), Heavy Duty (H. Dalton), Rollbar (R. Williston), and Ice Storm (N. Ligotke). Eligible exceptions include Airborne (R. Six), Long Range (A. Garcia), Lifeline (G. Scott), Dusty (J. Paquette), Rampage (W. McDaniel), Rampage (J. Remington), Inferno (S. Brownson), Black Dragon (Leader), Metalhead (M. Hurley), Mouse (Gaines), Sgt. Stone (G. Stone IV), Doc (Carla Greer), and Dial-Tone (Jill Morelli). 4) DROPOUTS: Characters will enter the Drop Zone on their 5th poll and every 5th poll thereafter. The Drop Zone is a warning that indicates the last poll in which characters must average at least 5% of all votes over the past five polls to remain in the poll. Anyone that averages less than 5% will drop back into the nomination list within a given percentage of the highest nominee’s nominations. See table below. If < 5% but > 4%, then 80%. If < 4% but > 3%, then 70%. If < 3% but > 2%, then 60%. If < 2% but > 0%, then 50%. 5) THREAD ETIQUETTE: To prevent thread derailment, please refrain from lengthy debates or inflammatory remarks. Posting a question or brief remark about eligibility is acceptable and even encouraged, but repeated arguments and complaints are unproductive and should be taken to an alternative thread, such as http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...me-survey.html.

How do guys feel about maybe phasing out the drop zone at some point? We are well deep into the D listers now and it seems a little unnecessary and would make my upkeep a little less tedious.

It would be the worst possible time to stop the drops. The nominations have gotten terrible and much less diverse as less people are nominating. It's clear that characters who were retail figures continue to dominate the winners, and now that Sunbow characters are the only 1980s characters left, they're performing as well.
But the nominations are dominated with foreign figures and comic characters who've never had figures. And we have had no shortage of characters dropping out due to lack of interest. The drops are more important than ever precisely because we're getting into the realm of obscure characters. People are now more intent on making Hail Mary passes with their noms because they think there finally might be a chance. But the poll proves that recent nominees are failing to perform as much or more than ever. Maybe there's an easier way to calculate the drops but stopping them entirely would be bad. Add Ramar and Night Watch Trooper. |

These were the last 7 drops:
Lightning (foreign) Black Ice (foreign) Topson (foreign) Joe Canuck (foreign) Red Zone (retail exclusive) Checkpoint (retail exclusive) NS Shock Trooper (convention) These were the last 7 adds, so I assume they would all probably still not be in the poll by now if we weren't dropping characters. Yet 3 have already won and a 4th is likely to win this round. So the poll results would be very different, and less reflective of what voters want, if we weren't dropping: Alex Destro (comic) Selena (Sunbow) *WON Marissa Faireborn (Sunbow) Black Dragon Leader (convention) Kalikan (?) Thunderwing (retail) *WON Teiko Sasaki (Sunbow) *WON The nomination system is horribly unfair and undemocratic as it is. The drops were designed to help remedy that birth defect in the poll. Take the drops out, and you simply restore a problem that most agreed 100s of polls ago had to be remedied. A lot of those that dropped out have dropped out repeatedly, because they are being continually forced in through the undemocratic nomination system and have no actual support. Stopping the drops would mean eventually we'll be forced to pick from 10 of these deplorables when characters who could easily beat them are sitting on the sidelines. The drops are the highlight of the poll for me now, because it's great to see so many dogs cleared out to make room for characters who often jump right in and prove their worth by winning. The only way you could truly get rid of the drops and not have a lousy poll would be to change the nomination system at the same time to something fairer.
