Exactly how long was Marshal #1, anyway?
From November, but probably a little before then too.

This thread was created in November, and there was no popularity thread before then..
However, when I first joined the forum, it was clear that the top 3 consisted of 1. Julian, 2. Merengue and 3. Marshal.. After that, Julian tumbled downward quite quickly, Marshal shot up, and Stitches took the number 2 spot, which is when I then created the thread
Geez I don't understand why some people are making such a fuss about this thread,
it's just an estimate and does it really matter that much anyway?
I mean, dividing into tiers is an excellent value system for villager trading and selling (starting to sound like a slave dealer here, welp), but debating over the placement of villagers within a tier? Really?
Saying who you think should be first is fine and all, but accusing the list maker to be biased or flipping tables at every change is so ridiculous.
-rant over-

I encourage people to debate over the placement of villagers.. It does give me a second set of eyes when it comes to placing villagers.. I do a decent job doing this alone, but having help of who to look out for is a nice thing
However trust me, I've had a few people practically shout at me to move a villager, haha.. You get used to it after a while
I like to think this list is here to help everyone on TBT (and maybe other sites, who knows) to get a decently accurate representation of the all the villagers popularity
.. And that's why I created this list in the first place
Yes, this how behaviour influences opinions in someone. Once you make a public commitment on an issue, even if it is initially against your opinion, the simple fact of public commitment starts modifying the strength of that very opinion.
It is a very well research social psychology mechanism.
The next thing that will happen is that more you will defend the opinion, stronger it will become, and less and less you will even ponder on the possibility that you might be wrong.
For example: One option is that people who disagree with you might post less and less in this topic. Why? Well, for a variety of reasons: by fear of becoming unpopular, or because they noticed how inflexible you often are with people who disagree, or etc, etc. lol
But honestly, I really don't want to wind you up or upset you.
You have done a reasonably good job with this topic, even if it deviated to an extent from the original aim.
In my opinion, this type of strictly and inflexible classifications might upset some AC players, who will end up by thinking that their loved villagers are somehow worthless. And this no matter how much you try to "neutralise" the effects of the topic in your previous statements.
Another issue is that as this topic is sticky, more and more new people will read it, and will align their views to it. Sticky topics have on forums the effect of "authority view" (another more recently studied social psychology phenomenon).
So even if they thought that (for example) "tier 1 villagers" are not what they like, they will start thinking "oh, I want to be popular, I want tier 1 villagers" and put some of them in their "wish lists" (on which you apparently mainly base your classification). In this respect, the classification becomes self-fulfilling.
The only genuine "rating of popularity" (if you really need something like this) is what people who never saw this (or similar topics) say that they want in their towns.

You really don't need to lecture me with your psychology details. I've done psychology for three years, I know how things work.
I will address your answer in chunks.
First of all, you commented on my topic, it's rude not to answer, and I wanted to defend my decision for bumping Merengue up. Quite a few people have agreed with me moving her up and Marshal's decline. I don't see how I'm biased just because I like Merengue.
Secondly, I'm NEVER hostile, I'm always willing to listen to people's opinions, and I will always comment on what people have to say and take into account any changes people like to suggest. So suggesting that I'm likely to scare people by expressing my opinions is absurd.
Thirdly, I can't help it if people are to think some of their villagers are not worth much.. In my opinion, all villagers are worth something, and people should pay whatever price they think necessary for their beloved villager (and vice versa). However I created this topic simply to help people gauge where their villagers are when they wish to sell them, or if they are trying to look for them. Some people like a villager to be popular and let that shape their opinion of said villager, or the opposite, they want someone who's not very popular so they appear to be more diverse.
Next, the mods have already recognised this thread as being useful, which is why it's stickied.. A few people have expressed their views with this thread that it is wrong and should not be stickied, but the mods have mentioned on previous occasions that it is stickied because it helps people out. That is the sole purpose of the thread.
Lastly, you mentioned that I would increasingly think that I'm not wrong because I'm defending my decisions. This is absolute rubbish. Humans make mistakes, and I'm human.. I'm never always right, and I'm sure that some people believe that Merengue's placement at number 1 is a mistake.. As I mentioned before, this is a test to see what happens.. I do think that Marshal and Merengue are relatively on par, but Merengue's slipped slightly ahead which is why she's moved forward slightly. I'm sure that things will change in the future.
As well as this, the fact that you're replying to me is making it clear that you ARE trying to wind me up. So to avoid any more arguments on this thread, if you wish to continue this conversation, PM me with your views, or else I will report your posts, because they're not really adding anything constructive to the thread.

Oh wow, I didn't realize Phoebe was so popular.
Now I know I may be able to fetch a pretty penny for her
On the other hand, I'm surprised to see Fuchsia at the bottom end of mid-tier.
Tumblr seems to love her so much, I would have put her much higher. Maybe it's just an overexposure thing.

Obviously so, but there's so much overlap in terms of favorites that I just assumed Fuchsia would be a favorite here too.Well this is TBT not tumblr
Welp, I guess that's what the tier list is for!

I think Phil can stay where he is for now.. I don't think Nana will rise just yet.. I've got money on Axel rising to Tier Four however, I've seen him a fair bit recently..
Poncho and Ren?e do need to drop, yes, I've just been tryna figure out where to
Bam has recently held back onto his place in Tier One, so we'll see when he can drop, but for now he's staying..
I don't think Lolly will be the next number 1 .. As it stands, I actually think Ankha will be the next number 1 (other than Marshal)
