ACNH Villager Rankdown (#1 and #2 HAVE BEEN POSTED!)

[Bk1234]

***I’m not sure if I want to do this, but I’ll throw the idea out there and see how much traction it gets. ***

ACNH Villager Rankdown
featuring all 391 ACNH villagers

As many of you guys know, I hosted a villager competition where Lolly was crowned the winner. Now, I have a more interactive villager popularity competition that I hope you guys will enjoy.
​

The Rules: (adapted from a rankdown from somewhere on the Internet )

• We will have 7 judges whose goal will be to collectively rank all 391 ACNH villagers.
• At the beginning of the round, random.org will determine the order the judges will nominate.
• Whichever judge is chosen to nominate first will nominate a predetermined amount contestants and the other judges will have 24 hours to save one villager and cut another from the nomination list. Cuts and save are on first come, first serve basis, so get to it fast!
• Since this is a rankdown you should have a writeup prepared for whoever you're cutting to explain your reasoning. Write-ups must be a minimum of 100 words and include an image/GIF of the villager!
• After decisions have been made on those contestants, the next judge on the list will do the same thing, and the other rankers will again, cut and save.
• We will cycle through all the rankers until they have nominated and then the round will end.
• At the beginning of each new round I will reveal a pre-planned twist to the round, and we will also create a new nominating order, using random.org
• Once the nominations are posted you will have 24 hours to make your cut and save. If you do not make your cut in time (unless you tell me you're going to be away) you will get a strike and whoever made the nominations can make the cut and save. Three strikes and you're out and I have to name a new judge in your place.
• If you wanna get your cut in right when you see the nominations and wanna take time for your write-up, you can post who you're cutting and saving and then you'll have an hour to make a new post with your write-up. However, the nominated villagers are back up for grabs if you take too long to edit. When I say an hour, I mean 60 minutes. If you make your cut and save at 12:15, you have until 1:15 to post your write-up. Another ranker cannot swoop in and take your cut and save until 1:16. You can reset your time only once if you are working on your write-up for a long time.
• Make sure all your nominees are within the confines of the twists and the rules of the game (i.e. no one who has already been eliminated or was saved last round are among your nominees). If this rule is broken, I'm afraid the round resets and you will have to completely renominate.
• THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EDITING ALLOWED ON YOUR POST WHEN YOU ARE CUTTING AND SAVING! IF YOU EDIT THAT POST FOR ANY REASON AT ALL, YOUR CUT AND SAVE WILL BE WORTH NOTHING!

To Play:

• You don't have to have played every game in the series!
• Every time I have seen this game get played people will inevitably go for the popular people/characters and it WILL get intense. If this does not sound like your kind of game don't sign up.
• I expect you to be active enough that you can write about 100 words about one villager every 24 hours. If you don't think you can log on once a day to do at least that, don't sign up. If you plan on going on vacation or being away for a while, just let me know and I can get a substitution for you while you're away.
• There will be an application you have to fill out so I can make sure I don't have 7 rankers who all have similar opinions. However, I do plan on choosing rankers based on a first come, first serve basis.
• You don't have to even be super active on the forum to play! If you're a more mysterious poster, that might make it easier for you to hide your faves and help them sneak through the cracks.

The Judges:

@Verecund as Pelly!

@Pintuition as Celeste!

@Asarena as Redd!

@Florence + The Machine as Gracie!

@WaileaNoRei as Pascal!

@Emmsey as Booker!

@misstayleigh as Kicks!

It is very confusing, but I promise it will be easier to understand as the competition progresses. To sum it up briefly, basically, seven judges will be chosen and they will collectively rank all 391 villagers. The first couple rounds will involve judge cuts and saves. Out of a select group of nominated villagers (which one judge will nominate), each judge will choose to cut one villager out of the group and save another. After a judge announces the villager they are cutting, they have an hour to provide a write-up (minimum 100 words) explaining why the villager should be cut.

Hopefully, this cleared up any confusion, and to answer your question about voting, there will be voting rounds near the end.

I don't plan on joining because I have school to do on days, but I just want to point out that if I'm correct the auto merge canceled out the pings, I didn't get one so you may want to mention people again.

I have school as well so most of this will probably happen on the weekends. Thank you for mentioning the thing about cancelation of the pings.

Ok, just fill out the application form in the main post.

 

[Bk1234]

So far we have two judges. Is anyone else interested in participating?

 

[Asarena]

I filled out the application! Reading through the rules, it sounds fun~

 

[Manon_Despoina]

Unfortunately I don't have the time to be a judge for this, but I like the idea a lot!

 

[Pintuition]

Sounds fun, I applied! I enjoyed following the rankings in your first competition so I thought why not!

Thanks for applying!

I’m sure it’ll be interesting to watch.

 

[Toska]

Hmm, don't know why I didn't get the notification for this! I'd love to join, but for now I'll be unable due to school. Hopefully you can get the 7 judges! I'll be sure to watch

 

[Bk1234]

Seven judges have been found! I will be updating the main post with all the details later. I will be posting the details for the first round tomorrow.

 

[Magus]

Hey there @Bk1234 !
I think the idea is very promising ! Unfortunately since the beginning of September I really lack time, even to play
So I will not apply for being a judge, but I'm relieved you found 7 people to realize your project !

 

[Bk1234]

I’ve decided to only do this on the weekends, so Round #1 will be posted either Friday afternoon (depending on homework) or Saturday morning.

I would now like to introduce the seven judges...
@Emmsey @Asarena @Pintuition @Florence + The Machine @saucySheep @Verecund @WaileaNoRei

All seven judges will be playing as one of their favorite special characters. While you guys wait for me to post Round #1, try to guess who’s who.

 

[saucySheep]

uhh.. uhh.. emmsey... is pascal

 

[WaileaNoRei]

So excited! This seems like a lot of fun! Thanks @Bk1234 !
