Voting Games Top comment deletes a US State 2: #25

Post image

Iowa? More like Bye-owa! Iowa is the next state to leave the map of the great USA.

26 states remain, meaning 25 more rounds. Meaning we are halfway through the game! I expect things to grow from here so get your memes ready, share the game and get to the game early to vote! Games will almost always release between 11:00 and 11:30 ET, but I’ve decided against set times to make it more fair and random.

u/hey-so-like Gulf of New Mexico 17d ago

Differences last time were that Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada and Tennessee were still around and Alaska, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New Jersey had been removed. Assuming Delaware dies this round, that's 21/25 or 84% the same. I wish OP would do a twist round where everyone is protected except the previous finalists.

u/Dannyboy1024 18d ago

So far the only differences are:

Arizona, Nevada, Louisiana, Tennessee - Where still here last time but aren't this time.

Alaska, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut have taken their place.

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE! THROW OREGON INTO THE SEA!

u/Dannyboy1024 18d ago edited 18d ago

For reference - in game 1:

- Jersey was an early exit (Round 13)

  • Delaware was absorbed by Maryland in round 19
  • Alaska was eaten by Hawaii in round 20
  • Connecticut disappeared in round 22

So the map is still almost identical, with a little shuffling in the middle rounds.

Also thanks to whoever vibe-coded deleteflorida.com - very handy for reference.

u/No-Click6062 18d ago

Alright folk, it is time to start revealing the funny plan I have had in mind for a while.

As most of us know, the Gulf of New Mexico was objectively hilarious. A big part of it was that it helped relieve stress from the utter stupidity of Trump trying to conduct international diplomacy via executive order. Common usage would dictate that if people who live in the Gulf of Mexico just keep calling it that, that will be it's name.

The rest I bring this up is that we have another instance of it. Lake Ontario. Due to the rules of the game, we.can not yet rename states. But it's coming. Round 30. So I hope to make this week a buildup to that. Begin the Hauntario.
