Virus Name Voting!

You may have been spending time over on the Strain Tracking board, watching viruses progress - but now it's time to pick some official names! Head on over to the POLLS now and use your one vote wisely! It can't be changed, and the majority of votes will determine the winner.

We'll be closing the polls before the last stage of each virus hits (in around 24 hour time, or noon tomorrow), so vote while you can!

I can't believe that Trepaination isn't winning. Come on guys, that's hilarious!

I demand a recount!

Grosseries was fun but I don't know how it managed to stick up to this point. Root Riot was the only one that made sense to me after stage 2 of Green.

As for Red, the names available were okay until after stage 2 as well.
I still stick to Sauna Slough for White cause who knows what the next stage will bring.
Yellow, I'm thinking it could still be Veinison but leaning towards Buzzkill/Botfly. Hard to tell honestly.

I love love Steamed Buns, just makes me laugh. And quite like Vegetabrawl.

Can't say I'm a fan of most of the top choices at the moment!
Speiro
@Mackenzi - Aw, that sucks. Thanks for the info though. :D
Mackenzi
I don't hate Buzzkill but I feel like it could be either the yellow or red at this point.
Mackenzi
@Speiro Staff can delete if it's 'cheating'?

I wish I'd voted for Steamed Buns now...
Frieda
The vegetables scared me, so I didn't vote for them, I wanted bacon or one of those greasy meat sticks that you get at the gas station.
Speiro
Would it be "cheating" to ask about the results of the Green poll before I vote? I'm team anything-but-grosseries and don't want to throw my vote away on something that stands no chance. :P
Clouds
I want Root Riot! Grosseries was funny until the wee little buggers started biting people. Which if that name get chosen I still want little biting veggies for my HA they are so cute!
Cordyceps_sapiens
Why is "Grosseries" so popular? It's not original and it's NOT EVEN GROSS! UUuuuugh
Frenchi
'grosseries' is decent but isn't that already the name of those ~edgy~ shopkins spinoff toys? also how is 'lobotomeat' better than 'mindscrew'...
Ang
I feel more strongly about Steamed Buns than anything I've ever cared about in my entire life
Mackenzi
Also, I know I’ve been on Subeta for over a decade but I can’t even with that age poll lmao. It’s been a while since I thought about being a teen. Both my life and subeta has changed so much. XD
Mackenzi
Grosseries is the best name for any of them, good job whoever thought of that!

God, that red strain is probably the most repulsive thing I’ve seen on subeta. It’s genuinely hard to look at. I can’t wait to see what the plushie version will be next year ahahaha.
Chrysariel
Loved Grosseries! lol
DarkVixen28
Voted on each except Red.

Over the years I've found some of the strains and their various stages a bit creepy or unsettling and never had an issue with the other gross items on site....

...expect Red. I just can't. Stage 3 onward for Red give me that 'you're gunna get sick' pre-gag feeling when I look at them. Sorry, Subeta ;.;
blooming
steamed buns is officially the cutest virus name ever PLS
Loveless
I laughed way more than I should have at Grosseries XD
Damon

Fevermore Zombie Plushie
needs to be up there in the staff hall-of-"fame", doesn't it?
Solas
@Jess I didn't know :o Thank You for telling me hugs I'll post on the form now.
Jess
@Ankou After you sign up for a virus, you have to post on the forums to receive bites. Otherwise, it will take three days to get infected for viruses that were released prior to this year. If you post on that thread I linked you to, we can bite and infect you in less than 20 minutes.
Solas
@Jess
I still have this Message on the VIP page: Thanks for participating in the Volunteer Infection Program!
You've still got some time to wait, but you will receive an event once you've received your chosen virus!

So I have NO virus.
Jess
@Ankou Can you post over here: so I can bite you? We can’t access your bite link unless you post in the Survival forums now.
Solas
I'd love it if I could finally get VIP event that says I now have my Playful, Whimsical virus, been waiting for nearly 2 days now. I dislike this event now :(
kaleidoscope
Voted for Yellow it was the only one I was fairly sure of (despite my vote being less liked). Will vote again later today once I see another stage.
Wik
Just an FYI to everyone here:

Trpaination is a really clever pun on "trepanation". Aka an old surgical technique of drilling a hole in the skull
Pirate
@ABEL

I had the Green strain before curing. I know it's not a big deal for everyone else but it nearly feels like a phobia what I feel when reading the obvious winner name in the poll so curing was my only choice now even though I kinda liked stage 5 of the virus.
Sicanda
No bad "hives" pun for the yellow one? :(
demon
@Sirius which one broke your mind, if I may ask?
Pirate
looks at votes
cures

Sorry but I can't...
Seoni
wow, that 'How old are you poll' is old. I checked the 19-24 bracket but have jumped 2 brackets since :o
Galaxy
Are apostrophes allowed in item names and the like? I thought they messed with the code.
Greg
Bathory
on that age poll i put 19-24 lol im now 30
humorless
@Greg You're a terrible influence on all of us :laughing:
Gunnarr
Man I'm so disappointed there's no "Mom's Spaghetti" option for red. :(
demon
vape nation unite ayyyyy
Greg
So I guess the most voted option for Red competes with Meatspinner and Mom's Spaghetti, right?
PiplupMagby34
It seems I like the less popular names....
But I voted. ;)
Kyuubi
Voted~

I picked the 14-15 year old option on the 'how old are you' so long ago... I'm almost 25 now...
Amber STAFF
@Kestrel send me yarn and i'll see what I can do ;)
Kestrel
Where can I make a write-in vote of "Mom's Spaghetti" for Red?
SCIENCE
knees weak
arms are heavy
Anasazi
noise!
Chocolate
A big thank you to staff for hosting the poll! It's definitely been an adventure over in the tracking thread- 100 pages worth of name suggestions.

(And in regards to Mom's Spaghetti, it got maybe 5 votes in the last day or so. Mindscrew and Lobotomeat had 10x that each, and the other two simply took the lead of the remainders during the final hours.)
jensen
@Amber
i am praying for you, and your task list
KiaArra
@Riashire - Me too! Huzzah! lol.
Amber STAFF
@jensen oh god
jensen
@Amber
don't forget about the blue building again when you go to do that
humorless
Oh lord, that age poll.

Amber STAFF
@jensen I FORGOT HOW BAD THIS PAGE IS that is next on list after item menus to kill all the tables
TaleSpin
Voted! I was really torn between "Grosseries" and "Root Riot" for Green. Either one would be perfect. XD
PetiteUnikin
VERY interesting options! Had to vote! All of them sounded so very nasty and amazing and I love them! ♥♥♥
Tucker
I like this. I've never been able to help with naming as by the time I'd enter the thread it always seemed like everything already got a name in the first few minutes. Why yes, I'm still bitter over a few of the names ;) lol
Riashire
@Meteora
Hahaha. I had checked 19-24 at the time; I'm now 31. :D
placebo
this is a first. but useful! thanks!
Lucifer

jensen

Chansey
