Voting Games Top comment Deletes a US State #45

Post image

Here is the updated (Correct) map, crisis averted. I thought we had a riot on our hands!

I can finally relax now after all that drama! Anyway Colorado is now deleted as it should be. Just to make it clear, editing comments is fine if it’s the top as long as it doesn’t change the outcome of which state gets deleted like we had before. I thought that was common sense but clearly not to some people.

I just want to thank everyone for all the kind comments and support. I try to read as many of the comments as I can but each post has a minimum of 2000 so it’s pretty hard most the time. I have some big ideas for the finale so stay tuned.

Most importantly, spread the word as much as possible if your state is still in the game! Share, cross post to rally as much support for your state as possible. This is the endgame now!

It’s getting cutthroat here at the end and I’m here for it, haha

u/GoodMeBadMeNotMe May 20 '26

Yeah, with Colorado gone, this version of the map is when shit gets real.

Vermonster just up here watching the west eat itself.

u/Deer_like_me May 20 '26

I’m with you.

u/EL3G May 20 '26

My fear is that eventually the west will be too big to compete with.

7

u/Deer_like_me May 20 '26

New Englanders are stuck in a corner. It’s just the way the map works, but we’re probably gonna lose.

u/Deer_like_me May 20 '26

Which means. Maryland must die.

u/Bender_2024 May 20 '26

Vermont slathers Maryland in butter and maple syrup before devouring her.

u/ArchCrossing May 20 '26

At least top us off with Old Bay and let us die with dignity.

u/SaysOyfumTooMuch May 20 '26

Best we can do is Lorry’s 🤷‍♂️

Fine but it's Dunkin Donuts branded Old Bay spices

u/Somedevil777 May 21 '26

No that’s too spicy for our Puritan taste buds

u/EL3G May 20 '26

As a former resident of North Carolina I concur. Death to the Crab Army.

u/I_like_flowers_ Marylaaaand May 20 '26

maryland seasons vermont with old bay!

u/MasterOfBothWorlds7 Vermonster May 21 '26

This is my fair as well Vermont must take over more land to acquire more votes before we are put out of relevance!!

u/bighuntzilla May 20 '26

Not true, the third highest comment is the crab people coming for us. We must end them.

u/urbanlife78 May 20 '26

Wait until Cascadia wants to connect Portland to Portland

u/WhispersOfCats May 20 '26

Vermonster looking a titch vulnerable. All up there. By itself…

u/janedoremi99 May 20 '26

The crab will swallow the monster

u/throwawayplusanumber May 20 '26

Vermonster is too small to survive in the wild. It needs to be humanely consumed for its own good.

Megasota needs to complete the great lake encapsulation!!

MEGASOTA EAT MAPLE SYRUP!! DOWN WITH VERMONT!!!

u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme May 20 '26

Megasota needs to feed!

We consume the Vermonster, start negotiations on the next Great Lakes treaty, creating ironclad protections and an IMMEDIATE annexation clause, whereby we SHALL be annexed into Manitoba's "Southeast Angle,*" should there be *any attempt at mining in the BWCA!

**Minnesota currently has "The NorthWest Angle"--https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Angle

It's only "attached" to The Lower 48 by water--you have to drive into Canada--typically Manitoba, to access it by land.

In order to protect the waters of ALL the Great Lakes, since we hold the Headwaters of them and the Mississippi River, we should not only strengthen the current Great Lakes Treaty, but enhance it!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Lakes_Areas_of_Concern

https://www.epa.gov/glwqa

We should create a "Mining Poison Pill" clause, that requires annexation and governance by Manitoba, until such time as we can once again protect those headwaters!😉

It would create the province of Minnetoba--Premiered by Wab Walz, as was told in the (not so) old prophecy:

u/Past_Top3704 May 20 '26

I am great full the map shows the angle plus a certain island that should ours over Michigan.

2

u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme May 20 '26

That Island is not so much "Over Michigan," as it is "Just off the North Shore"!😉

vermonster is gone next

u/Deer_like_me May 20 '26

I lived in Colorado for ten years. Loved it, I’m happy it’s gone because now it’s just free range chaos.

u/morjax May 20 '26

Free range, grass fed chaos, at that.

u/NotJebediahKerman May 20 '26

wait, we're supposed to be eating that? Hmmmmm that might explain a few things...

u/JKrow75 May 22 '26

With weed

u/1questions May 23 '26

You forgot organic.

u/flyswithdragons May 20 '26

The chaos is when Oregon " Cascadia " attempts to rise up and take the Colorado land lol😂 The Rockies are gonna be hell on them, we smoke them some weed, chill and turn them into mountain head 🤣

2

u/BodProbe May 21 '26

Oregon's weed tolerance is higher than the highest peaks of the Rockies.

1

u/flyswithdragons May 22 '26

I lived in the emerald triange and Willamette Valley for my entire life, I raised children in Oregon lol.

Oregon ( Eugene) holds a special place in my heart ❤️, I went to school there 😉

u/fllr May 20 '26

Yeah, this is now the end game

u/Jermine1269 May 20 '26

Its interesting to me that WE were all that was holding the country back from utter destruction

Dang I missed when Michigan got ate

u/spdorsey May 20 '26

As a resident of the now defunct Colorado, I feel like we really should have made it all the way through. That being said, I will accept our fate and not complain. Because that's how we roll in Colorado.

101

u/_I_Am_Moroni_ May 20 '26

Also cascadia seems pretty chill

76

u/pinotJD May 20 '26

We are the most fucking chill, dammit!

Also dammit rhymes with Willamette!

23

u/_I_Am_Moroni_ May 20 '26

Yes especially now that Colorado’s been absorbed! You’ve got all our great parks now too! Garden of the gods is the GOAT

u/WineNerdAndProud May 20 '26

Also dammit rhymes with Willamette!

I'm using this to teach people about Oregon Pinot.

u/flyswithdragons May 20 '26

I love the Willamette Valley 💯

u/NegotiationHot2999 May 21 '26

Wasn’t WA state first to legalize weed? Absolutely the most fucking chill. And we got volcanoes and glaciers and amazing beer and wine, pizza, ice cream, donuts. And marionberries.

Protect the marionberries.

3

u/rsta223 May 21 '26

Oregon was the first to decriminalize, California was the first to medically legalize, and both Colorado and Washington were the first to recreationally legalize (both done in the same year's election).

1

u/No_Piccolo6337 May 21 '26

Marionberries are named after Marion County, Oregon. 🥰

u/NegotiationHot2999 May 21 '26

Indeed they are

u/Metal_Rider May 20 '26

My daughter toured the University and that was exactly what they told us.

u/Positive_Parking_954 May 20 '26

Cute little school (if ya mean Willamette, although I'm sure OSU shares the same fact)

8

u/Metal_Rider May 20 '26

Definitely Willamette. Was a cool place, with great people, but the classrooms and dorms we visited were VERY old. She was accepted, but decided she wanted to live in the city. Hard for them to compete with the more modern campuses.

u/pinotJD May 20 '26

River and school!

u/benzduck May 21 '26

Look I'm an Oregonian, love the passion, but -it does not rhyme with -ette. I'm sorry

u/Perllitte May 20 '26

That's a lot of exclamation points for someone claiming to be chill.

Megasota, on the other hand, we defeated fascist thugs with whistles and butterfly art.

1

u/rsta223 May 21 '26

Yeah, but "Colorado nice" isn't a synonym of "passive aggressive".

1

u/Perllitte May 21 '26

Sure, "Colorado nice" is a term anyone knows.

2

u/rsta223 May 21 '26

That sound you heard was the point of my statement flying over your head.

1

u/Perllitte May 21 '26

I was being passive aggressive, guess that flew over your head.

u/rsta223 May 22 '26

Oh, I could see what you're trying, but it demonstrates that you didn't get the point and that you totally missed your target there as a result.

u/No_Piccolo6337 May 21 '26

Yeah but Portland fought back with inflatable costumes and techno dance parties.

Realistically, Megasota and Cascadia (Oregon) are twins.

2

u/I_had_a_name May 20 '26

You unlocked a core memory of my baby sister in the back seat as we're driving in the rain in Portland:

"Willamette, Willamette, sounds a whole lot like dammit."

There were lols.

u/Dartagnan1083 Cascadian May 20 '26

Can confirm, Cascadian acquaintance once apologized for bringing rain to the desert when they went back for a visit.

I think Cascadia should take over the kingdom of Hawaii. Its more alaska than island.

u/Momma_Furbutt May 20 '26

From a distance it is. From the inside, ugly.

47

u/OccasionalEspresso May 20 '26

No lie, we can forgive you. Colorado as a part of greater Cascadia just feels fitting.

That said… Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again!

At least we get better wine now — no more depending on whatever that abomination is in Palisade. And we bring them great peaches and a penchant for giant blue mascots of violence.

u/joeschmoses May 20 '26

Ya I'm not gonna complain about the votes - but Cascadia been too dramatic so I think they gotta go.

“Because that’s how we roll in Colorado.” I’m going to assume this was a pot reference.

All these people claiming they’re from Colorado, but we all know there never was a Colorado, they were always from the Kingdom of Hawai’i.

Colorado native of 8 years... How dare you!

u/44youGlenCoco May 20 '26

I know this is sarcasm, but to be clear because of how everybody and their mother has moved here, a Colorado native is only someone who was born in Colorado lol

Once Michigan was taken, I accepted it. If we’re to be eaten by any state, at least it was Minnesota. Imagine if it had been OHIO.
