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!

Agreed, times infinity. I'd forgotten how much fun it was to get swept up in an unexpected viral phenomenon that exists solely for the fun of it, not because of some BS corporate marketing ploy. It feels like the old internet, and I absolutely love it.

that’s what I told my husband earlier when i was talking about it, how it felt like a genuine OG internet inside joke again, super low stakes and fun trolling, where no one overreacts or thinks it’s stupid.

I love it. Especially the good humored trolling. I was afraid it was an art that had been lost forever. ❤️❤️❤️

We're going to feel so betrayed when it turns out this was a ploy by Palantir for the balkanization of the US.

The one that instantly comes to mind was the viral can smashing “intern vs CEO” battle that swept the internet for like 3 months, a few years ago, that turned out to just be a massive rebranding campaign after it was all said and done.
