However, the following 29 players all signed up with the same post, simply "In", for a 48% majority.

...

This is your last warning to stop being so popular.

Crux was the most unpopular, being the only player to post twice. Everyone should start working together to knock this ringer out of the competition.

This competition is brought to you by the unpopular letters G and X.

Round 1

Let's start this off with some cheap and simple prizes. There's nothing here worth getting kicked out of the competition over, and yet more players will probably be eliminated in this round than any other.

Prize #1 Gardettos

This General Mills product dates back to 1931 and was once referred to be the New Yorker as "the gentleman's snack food". With its delicious blend of pretzels, special seasoning, and rye chips (or Dog Biscuits in youth vernacular), a bag of Gardettos is sure to bring gravitas to any frat party or wine tasting.

Prize #2 Crunch Bar

When Hans Crunch first approached Nestle with the idea to mix rice inside of their chocolate, he was laughed out the door. But when America entered the Second World War, Nestle was ordered to produce thousands of candy bars for military rations and the new Crunch Bar was able to fit into two food groups. You too can honor American heroes by winning the only Candy Bar with red white and blue packaging.

Prize #3 Whoopee Cushion

When making your perfect Gift Basket, the rule is to keep it classy. So what is classier than Ancient Rome? That's right, the whoopee cushion was first invented by Roman Emperor Elagabalus. This young emperor was also known for prostituting himself and being assassinated at the age of 18. When you bring this fine prize home to your children, make sure to educate them on its regal origins.

Prize #4 Sushi

Wait, typo...

Prize #4 Sushi Stickers

Stickers are great because they have so many applications. You can decorate your house with them. You can stick them on your friends when they aren't paying attention. You can vandalize public property. You can use them as fake currency in a game of Three Dragon Ante. With Sushi Stickers, you can tactically place them in spots where you are likely to see them when hungry, thus telling yourself that you want to go buy actual sushi (I mean shit Sushi won't keep if I have to ship it to you).

All contestants must PM me with their choices. Deadline is in 48 hours. All who choose the most popular result are eliminated, as are any who fail to PM me their choice.

Metal Bagon · May 6th, 2012, 2:40:42 PM

I voted Sushi, wait, it was a typo.

Shoot.

vonFiedler · May 6th, 2012, 2:41:08 PM

Fucking autocomplete

reyscarface · May 6th, 2012, 3:55:09 PM

by the time the food reaches some of the participants that live in the other side of the world, it will be perfectly rotten

vonFiedler · May 6th, 2012, 3:58:07 PM

Non-perishable prizes only.

UncleSam · May 6th, 2012, 5:06:17 PM

Yo dawgs a coin told me to take the Gardettos.

I highly suggest everyone take something else or you'll have a smaller chance of getting to the better prizes later on.

Cereza · May 6th, 2012, 5:11:09 PM

yet another messed up name :D voting Gardettos!

kingofkongs · May 6th, 2012, 5:20:12 PM

voting for Gardettos, highly suggest that everyone who votes for Gardettos says so, just so that we can make sure that we don't go over 15 people, since that would be very very bad for all of us.

Triangles · May 6th, 2012, 5:20:28 PM

i'm gonna take these sushi stickers! they look so alluring and alluring and useful and make me hungry for sushis!!!!1 i specialy realy like the raw fish sushys sticker theyre nice!!! :3

please plese pleasee let me have them and vote sonething else !!! be nice - i'm new and i have'nt even beaten the game yet....!!

Actually, on second thoughts, I wouldn't mind that Crunch bar.

UncleSam · May 6th, 2012, 7:37:18 PM

Yo kingofkongs and Cereza why the fuck would you vote Gardettos after I literally just said I was voting for it.

There are no votes for woopie cushion or Crunch Bar yet and you two vote something with votes on it already?

***Mekkah***** · May 6th, 2012, 7:44:20 PM

Just invent a new strategy and accept this "claiming" one is getting old already.

zorbees · May 6th, 2012, 7:46:50 PM

i voted for the bag of fritos as i said in my signup post

Aura Guardian · May 6th, 2012, 7:58:34 PM

I just chose completely randomly and ignored what everyone posted. I encourage everyone else to do the same.

Lady Salamence · May 6th, 2012, 9:28:01 PM

I voted gardettos before it was cool

Vintage Books · May 6th, 2012, 9:42:10 PM

Gosh those sushi stickers are amazing.

**Fatecrashers** · May 6th, 2012, 9:45:07 PM

farts are funny

NidokingKing · May 6th, 2012, 9:51:40 PM

Crunch bar is always the way to go, don't know what everyone else is smoking...

Pernicious · May 6th, 2012, 11:21:06 PM

hey I'm gonna pick something and you better not pick the thing i picked

ok i picked it don't pick that thing now

Tan · May 6th, 2012, 11:24:27 PM

I wanted sushi!

If this were any old Unpopular/Die contest I'd agree with you.

But when Fritos and Crunch Bars are on the line I really don't care how "old" a strategy is.

I actually changed my mind before sending the PM and ended up voting for the bar =3

TalkingLion · May 6th, 2012, 11:29:42 PM

Guys why don't we all go for the Crunch Bar since we all know that everyone wants that.

Just noticed this.

Really?

EDIT: For double clarity

vonFiedler · May 6th, 2012, 11:59:59 PM

Yeah, they really better try harder this round.

EDIT: "Largest subset if more than half" is to plurality what supermajority is to majority, but with an arbitrary value rather than a variable. Even in politics where the distinction is supposed to matter plurality is usually called "relative majority" these days.
