U.S. States Viewer Voting #7 [LORE]

+2

Introduction to US Viewer Voting

Hi! Gekko0923 here. I'm hosting a new series called "U.S. States Viewer Voting." In this series, you viewers vote for a state based on the voting mode. There are several voting modes, including voting to eliminate and voting to save, among others. Depending on the voting mode, one of the states will be eliminated. The states have been divided into 5 groups of 10 based on alphabetical order. Last time, Group 1 was UFE.

Last time...

In Episode 6 of this series, Group 1, consisting of nine of the first ten states alphabetically, was up for elimination. Viewers voted on which states they wanted to ELIMINATE. Let's see how many votes each state received.

Vote #6 stats: A total of 11 viewers cast 32 votes!

The first one safe, being the only one to get zero votes, is Alaska!

Safe with only one vote against them are:

Alabama,

Arizona,

Colorado,

Connecticut,

and Georgia!


This means that the bottom three are between California, Delaware, and Florida.

I won't even make this suspenseful, because I think you all already know who got eliminated.

California and Florida are safe with three votes. Delaware got a RECORD of 21 votes, eliminating them in 44th place. Goodbye to the first state to join the Union. You won't be missed by the viewers.

All Eliminated States

50th: Arkansas

49th: Indiana

48th: Mississippi

47th: Nebraska

46th: Oklahoma

45th: Tennessee

44th: Delaware

State Lore - Introduction

Okay. I'm thinking of adding lore to this series to make it more engaging and fun. The states will go through character development, arcs, and alliances as they navigate their competition. If the viewers enjoy the lore, I'll continue it, but if you guys don't enjoy it, I'll stop the lore. Enjoy!

California (CA): I'm so glad to have survived that voting, but Delaware didn't deserve to go. She was a good state.

Florida (FL): Seriously? Delaware definitely deserved that elimination. And you, California, will be the next to go!

CA: Actually, Florida, six out of the seven states that are eliminated are red states. So, Florida, if anyone is to worry about the next elimination, it's you!

FL: (Scoffs) Whatever! (walks away)

FL: I need someone to team up with me against California. Let's see if Alabama wants to work with me. Alabama! Would you make an alliance with me against California and the other blue states?

Alabama (AL): Sure thing, my brother! Can Georgia join as well?

FL: Of course not! Georgia is a traitor to the Southern states! She is not worthy of joining us!

AL: Okay. But let's just not tell her that our alliance exists, alright?

FL: Fine.

(Georgia and California heard Alabama and Florida's conversation, but they were hiding in a bush)

Georgia (GA): I can't believe Florida doesn't appreciate me! What did I do wrong?

CA: Well, you did vote for Biden in the 2020 election.

GA: Yeah, that's true, but I'm a swing state! I could go either way, and I just happened to be blue that year!

CA: Florida may reject you, but I won't. You should team up with me against Florida.

GA: That's not a bad idea. Let's both get our revenge on Florida!

To be continued next episode...

Changes to this Series

1. As you just saw, there will be interactions between the states to make this series more interesting. Tell me whether I should continue doing this.

2. The voting period is reduced to just two days now! This is because most people already vote in the first two days anyway, and I need the third day to write the lore for the next episode.

3. The order in which the teams are UFE will be randomized from now on.

4. There will be a rejoin at the halfway mark when 25 states are remaining. You guys will vote on which state you want to rejoin, and the top three states will rejoin. However, this rejoin is still a long way off, but I just wanted you guys to know that there IS a rejoin.

Wyoming isn't real, just like jet crashes being able to melt steel beams but not destroy Arab passports.

Somehow a plane crash can't tear apart Arab passports… very odd. And Larry Silverstein, who leased the complex just a few months before, inexplicably missed his daily breakfast at the towers, but managed to collect billions in insurance money…

The New World Order doesn't obey reason.

No but seriously. His insurance (purchased suspiciously soon before the attacks) specifically had a clause about terrorism. Plus, with a fire, how would the NSA justify spying on citizens and invading Iraq?
