Welcome to :awesomelon: ROBOT POPCON :awesomelon:

This is a game of popcon that requires minimal effort and will be run entirely by robots. It runs by the standard popcon format except it requires practically no effort on behalf of the players, it's more just me having some fun with excel.

What will happen is people will sign up, and then when signups are full everyone will send me an ordered list of players in the order they would like to vote them out. So if the players are Ecco, merk, mills, and Diqnol, then Diqnol would send me a list like

1) mills
2) Ecco
3) merk

Diqnol would be casting his vote for mills the first round and then every round after that until mills is voted out, after which he'd be casting his vote for Ecco. This happens until we are down to 2, wherein a winner will be decided by looking at all the eliminated players' lists and whichever of the finalists is closer to the bottom is who they vote for. Ties are decided by points first and then RNG after that to keep the game from being deadlocked.

I'll leave signups open until we have, I dunno, 15 or so, we'll see how it goes.

Reminder that the only thing required of players is to sign up and then submit a list of names in an order. Everything else is done for you.

Players

1) Anomalous Amalgam
2) AnonymousNarcotics
3) Meinberg
4) PBS Newshour
5) Max Peck
6) jon joe
7) Gulagdolls
8) chaoslord
9) dongsbot 9000
10) Tommunist
11) Podima
12) Li Dawny
13) Absurd Revolver
14) Birdstrike
15) PMom
16) imgay

Well really I was gonna say after we were full, but anyone can make their list ordered via any criteria they want. Alphabetical, Reverse alphabetical, RNG, longest name, shortest name, strategy (if you're a nerd), how much you like their avatar. The possibilities are endless.
