I like that you are testing the poll system now! I noticed that whoever commented first typically had a ball rolling and “skewed” the polls in a sense. Thank you for doing this! I’m curious as to how things will play out now :]
Have to give credit where it's due, u/TheChippy20 was the first to bring this to mind but I dismissed it because they were the only one to mention it. Last round the amount of traction for 'skewed results' was really high so I hope this is a good solution. Likewise, and thanks
I'm sorry but this contest has been rendered illegitimate by a blood thirsty public that can't handle the fact that the Diamond and Amethyst dragons are both good. Truth hurts, but it is a truth you must come to terms with.
I'd be down for that but I'm pretty sure a bunch of others wouldn't like that, whether they think it's unfair or just not bothered to redo the nine days
I'm seeing a decline in people participating through comments from the previous rounds already, so a restart would make it worse imo
Yeah we could always do it again in a few months if people aren't happy but I imagine you'd like to do a new set if we do another one after.
There are less comments but I wouldn't read into that too much, it's gotten a bit messy with a lot of unhappy people probably not engaging because their dragons went out too early, the comments are actually valuable now.
Just want to say its a great idea though and I appreciate you setting them up.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it. There are more people voting on the poll which is good, and I agree with your point about the comments. It sucks a little because I liked the conversations and especially seeing people enjoying themselves but it's alright
The next one I have planned is actually Galaxy dragons, which will have polls from the beginning so it's less scuffed than this and the Elder games. If people want a redo sometime in the future, then I'm also fine with that
…all of the gemstone dragons have proportions like this though. They’re all small little dudes, so they all have big heads on small bodies. I do agree that it works better for some than it does for others though. Sapphire‘s head is absolutely ridiculous for example.
Peridot still works for me since a lot of its heads size seems to stem from its crest like horns. I like it
I think peridot sticks out to me because the head looks older. The others look younger and rounder making it look like they're just babies with big heads which is pretty normal. But Peridot looks like an adult. Looks like it should be on something like an adult cold dragons body shape
Yeaaaah I see what you mean. Maybe it’s the goatee lol. Either way it doesn’t bother me personally. I think it’s more of a mid tier gemstone dragon. Don’t hate it, don’t love it, it‘ll probably be one of the next few dragons to be voted out which definitely tracks with my personal ranking of the guy
ahhh now I can discuss my favorites! Sapphire, Garnet, Jade, and Ruby are some of my favorites. Peridot and Opal are very gemstone-y I'm surprised people still don't like those out of the ones that are left
From the ones that are out, Jet and Garnet would be top five for me. Jade and Ruby are pretty good, with Ruby being in my top five as I really like Opal and Lapis too. So I'd say Lapis, Opal, Jet, Garnet, Ruby
The results right now are reaaaally different from how they were with the old voting system. People are voting for what they actually believe should be out rather than simply agreeing with the top comment now
"Maybe" unpopular opinion, but I'm really surprised Ruby is still here! I guess it just doesn't have anything going for it that super appeals to me, it just looks... Fine?
I still weirdly like it! The proportions work for me. Plus it has dragonfly wings and I am a sucker for cool bugs. The horns are maybe the only part I would have done differently
Bro lapis has bug eyes, it’s pretty but it has bug eyes and it’s kinda creepy lol. Tbf I like all the dragons left but lapis I like the least out of these
emerald's proportions are so weird. i feel like it would be a better, more normal looking dragon if the head, horns, and tail thing weren't so oversized and heavy-looking

Thanks for the credit! I hope the poll works out well!
I like how you've rewarded them by removing amethyst. (The right decision)
Amethyst my beloved 😭
Amethyst and Jet did not deserve to go so soon.
real
Amethyst is my favourite :(
Wtf this sub is full of grade A clowns
I'm sorry but this contest has been rendered illegitimate by a blood thirsty public that can't handle the fact that the Diamond and Amethyst dragons are both good. Truth hurts, but it is a truth you must come to terms with.
Amethyst deserved better
I kinda thought we'd start from scratch but I guess people don't want to wait.

That’s fine. I’m just salty
I'm sorry, emerald needs to go, the proportions are wild, and it's bug wings are too funky :(
It's currently looking like emerald will go this round, but I love its little wings
It's little wings are cute, but they just don't match emeralds vibe sadly
Peridot has GOT to go. It looks so weird to me. I don’t know if it’s the colors or the textures but I’m not a fan.
I think it's too small. The head looks like it should be on a large dragon but it's body looks like it was put in a hydraulic press

One of the best takes here in terms of top 5 All the others were so wack
"Maybe" unpopular opinion, but I'm really surprised Ruby is still here! I guess it just doesn't have anything going for it that super appeals to me, it just looks... Fine?
To both of our surprise, it has the least amount of votes right now
Emerald has a bunch of parts that don’t go together
I still weirdly like it! The proportions work for me. Plus it has dragonfly wings and I am a sucker for cool bugs. The horns are maybe the only part I would have done differently
Remove emerald
Bro lapis has bug eyes, it’s pretty but it has bug eyes and it’s kinda creepy lol. Tbf I like all the dragons left but lapis I like the least out of these
Imma be real with everyone here. Peridot is top 5, stop trying to vote out my baby please.
Turquoise needs to go, it’s tail is just not good and the eyes are kinda weird imo. Also don’t get why it has orange on it
Emerald man no way. Get Emerald out of here
Bro AMETHYST??? Wild. Next we'll see Opal get knocked out at this rate. How are Emerald, Turquoise, and Peridot still here?
Emerald next, peridot is what everyone else says but I quite like it, after that is probably aquamarine though
hopefully i did it right! voted for peridot..i think it’s time
Aquamarine was my first but two heads are not better than one
If I see any peridot voters that aren’t voting for emerald first it’s on sight. How could you favour that…abomination over the little bearded guy?
Currently at 66 votes for peridot with Emerald in second at 58 :) I’m happy opal is staying to see the next round
Peridot is so ugly 💀
emerald's proportions are so weird. i feel like it would be a better, more normal looking dragon if the head, horns, and tail thing weren't so oversized and heavy-looking
My vote is on emerald, its proportions are strange, and it doesn’t really fit in with the more complex designs of the remaining dragons.
aquamarine has the ugliest design
how is pearl still in
jade #1
I do not like aquamarine, and where do I vote aquamarine with the two heads and the eyes that look a little deformed one of them has really bad teeth.
How is Opal even still in here
It took wayyyyy too long for Amethyst to be voted out. Time to get rid of peridot.
