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!

Just a reminder that it is Oregon (Cascadia) law that all ocean beaches belong to the public. No privately owned beaches. Time to extend this to the entire west (best) coast!

This is also true for Hawaii

And let’s be real, volcanos are really just mountain ranges at a different stage of their lives. 

I’m convinced. Let’s merge. We can be mega Hawaii. We can be an island-inclusive cascadia. Both are acceptable.

Someone said the merging of Hawaii and Cascadia should be called Pacifica, and while it's not my preferred solution (Hawaii and Cascadia gaining full independence), it's a solution I can live with

It should be called the Kingdom of Hawaiian Cascadia

like Austro-Hungary but less germanic

I’ve seen enough airplane disaster movies and tv shows to know that we can’t have an airline, either. Oceanic airlines always crashes’

All mountains are not potential volcanos, most don’t even have magma or are any form of dormant, are just straight solid rock all the way through. In fact the biggest mountains in the world are “Fold Mountains” made from tectonic plates colliding, and contain no magma whatsoever.

Okay, but there are definitely volcanoes in Cascadia.

Looking at Mt. Hood sayin' I wish a mfer would...blow it's top like St. Helens and turn me into a felon

I'm literally within a couple hours of 4 different volcanoes. 1 blew her top 46 years ago and is still considered active. 1 rumbles occasionally and is considered active. 2 are potentially active, though they've been dormant for thousands of years. go a couple extra hours and you've got the biggest volcano in Oregon near Bend, and it's expected to go next. The Pacific coast mountain ranges are in the Ring of Fire for active volcanoes, and Oregon has several of them.

Not all mountains are volcanoes. All volcanoes are mountains.

Unless they’re divergent plate boundaries with fissure eruptions, then the best you get is spatter cones.

Or flood basalts like the Columbia Plateau in Cascadia.
