[QUOTE="Harzel, post: 7956442, member: 6857506"] This thread is inspired by [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/metathread-survivors-polls-and-brackets-v2-0-oh-my-oh-my.671328/']prior threads[/URL] that we've done - and it's time to finally do 5e plant creatures! That's right; it’s time to deal with your greens – the kind that will eat [I]you[/I]. [B]IMPORTANT NOTE- DOWNVOTES ARE WORTH 2 IN THIS THREAD.[/B] Each plant starts with 20 points and you vote for one plant you (presumably) like, which gains 1 point, and against one plant you (presumably) dislike, which loses 2 points. It is intentional that a negative vote is worth more than a positive vote - first, because glyphosate is more effective than fertilizer. Second, because. Upvotes are in spring green, downvotes are in autumn red (unless you are on your phone, and are unable to). Copy and graft the previous poster’s vote and change the numbers. You may vote once per day. This is an honor system, and we are all honorable gardeners; please do not abuse it. If this means you vote once at night one day, and once the next morning - that's fine, but don't vote again until the following day. This is purely a popularity contest and you do not have to explain an upvote or downvote, but feel free to - explanations are where the fun is! When downvotes reach 0 the plant withers and dies (FATALITY!). Finally, if a plant has one vote left, then you have to make the choice to use [U]all of your downvotes to eliminate it; there is no vote splitting[/U]. In addition, in the context of one vote, you can't upvote and downvote the same plant ([U]no "see" votes[/U]). And you have to use BOTH YOUR UPVOTE AND DOWNVOTE if you vote. Two important points that you must read before voting- 1. This is a pure poplararity contest, and is meant to be fun. You can cast your votes for whatever rhizome you want. Spite, irrigational love/hate, gameplay mechanics, strategic voting, and so on is perfectly acceptable. Are you voting against the Myconid because it sounds like a pharmaceutical advertised on late night TV? Are you upvoting Shrieker because you’ve always wanted to assemble a group of them into a unique choral ensemble? Do you believe that it’s morally superior to have your leaves opposite instead of alternate? It's all good! This vote does not affect anything in real life, and no plant will be pruned from D&D because of your vote. You can comment on the reasons for your vote, or not - up to you!
