"Ugh. Puns. Again. This is part of why I hate this community."

Guess it's time to go back to neo then, eh? Since you don't like when people have fun.
People need to lighten up. Good Lord.

So glad Grosseries won, I love it. I wouldn't have been able to look at "Vegetabrawl" without constantly thinking of Vegeta.

I'm glad my Mindscrew suggestion got onto the poll, but the better name won, because after Stage 3 it was clear there was going to be an emphasis on meat. I'm going to spend at least one more day salty about Grosseries, though.
Thia
Grosseries is the most boring name, I don't get why people like it so much. Food Fright is way better. I'm gonna call it that anyway.
Aries
Only one of the ones I voted for got chosen. I am going to call the strains by the names I like and not the official ones.
Altruism
@FairestMoss This is your punishment.
Taters
Idk why so many hate it, I love bad puns. They fill my heart with goo.
Opossum
I've been gone and haven't watched my strain until now and I'm laughing so hard. Are rats seriously trying to reconstruct the meat into a person? lmfao
Bundy
I chose yellow (Buzzkill) and I still haven't started to show signs... meanwhile other people are finishing up their strains :/ Is there something wrong with mine somehow? I feel like I should've seen SOMETHING happen by now...
stars_water
Ugh. Puns. Again. This is part of why I hate this community.

@bonita when they are done (Stage 8) -- at that point you will receive an Event

The Vapors made me laugh out loud. I'm so glad it won!
Frieda
Historically, we all know what the cure for the Vapors was....
Commander5AM
Red will forever be sosig. All hail Sosig.
Rodimus
Disappointed for Lobotomeat instead of Mindscrew or Meatgrinder, but oh well. At least The Vapors won out, as did Buzzkill. And Grosseries is funny enough that I was torn between it and Vegetabrawl anyway, hahahahaha.
bonita
When will they be added to the wardrobe so we can remove them?
CynicalCrow
I was hoping for Steamed Buns & Root Riot, but... Still good names, and will forever love Lobotomeat!
Helena
I love Grosseries so much, glad it won!
SaboKat
Reptile
Sad about "Lobotomeat" but oh well.

@Rah Wait, you're from England? Do you still live there or did you move?
Wolfism
I don't understand the name for the white one...
blooming
ok well i’m still gonna call it steamed buns lmao
Jess
@Rah Haha, no worries! Thank you!
sparkyrav
I had thought that the name for green would be something like what was chosen and I"m glad it was.
Rah STAFF
@Jess - if there's an accidental British spelling, you can be sure I'm behind it! (Being English and all) - I've fixed the news post to the correct 'The Vapors' now :)
Galaxy
@Elena You can't bite with this year's strains until you reach Stage 6 which takes a couple of days because viruses progress one stage every 14 hours or so. You are currently Stage 3 Buzzkill and you should be progressing to Stage 4 soon.

Unfortunately, the cache is not updating like it is supposed to so it is really difficult to see yourself progress. Re-saving your HA via the wardrobe using the Wear Now button can work (though apparently it takes a lot of tries), clearing your browser cache is another option...
Plant_569
Imagine being salty because a name that you didn’t choose won
Julie
Those names gave me a chuckle. Good job.
exotica
loving the names, so many puns... lol :joy:
Pirate
I heard people say it might help to save your avatar again in the Wardrobe. The "Wear this outfit"-option.

@Elena
Jess
@Butterflies I realize that, but last I checked, staff were actively removing British spellings on the site for consistency so it is odd that it would suddenly pop up. Chocolate has been spelling it officially as ‘The Vapors’ the entire time.
Maniac
i like all of these except for the one for White but oh well
Butterflies
@Jess

That is the UK spelling of it ;)
Elena
@sirius
i picked yellow.. yesterday morning

in the VIP page still says, Unfortunately, your strain hasn't progressed far enough for your bite to be effective, but try again later!
Jess
@Amber Can you make sure it’s ‘The Vapors’ and not ‘The Vapours’? Not sure how that extra U snuck in there.
Nogami
But trepaination was so clever!!
Dice
I can live with most of them, but you'll never win me round on 'Lobotomeat'. There were so many better suggestions.
Pirate
@Elena

Which virus did you choose and about when did you sign up for it?
Elena
My infection Isn’t progressing. What do I do?
Pirate
I love Buzzkill as a name, thanks to the person who suggested it.
YokoToyama
So glad Grosseries made it. It is so bad it needed to happen.

The Vapours is such a clunky name. The Vapours Zombie Plushie? -__-
"The" is gonna get removed, just like The Bakers Kiss's plushie is actually "Bakers Kiss Zombie Plushie"
StarShadow
Eww, that's right, grosseries is gross.
Sopheroo
I voted for all of the winners, wow
Tinkerbabe
Glad they’re all named now. Soon we get to see the final looks. The suspense builds! Good job everyone! runs around in circles with excitement

The Vapours is such a clunky name. The Vapours Zombie Plushie? -__-
PetiteUnikin
Not a big fan of "The Vapors", but they all sound super gross and i like that aspect.
humorless
Thanks to @Chocolate for sorting through all of our ramblings to organize the name suggestions and @SubetaTeam for setting up the polls!

And thanks to @Drusilla @Chocolate @13thMaiden and @Scorpio for running the Tracking thread. <3
TaleSpin
Hooray for Grosseries! I really liked Root Riot too but they were pretty much even.
Ferinsy
RIP Steamed Buns. I like them all but The Vapours (even though I didn't vote for Grosseries, but that's fine)
chookie
ahh so close to my Steamed Buns suggestion getting into site vernacular ^u^ the thrill of even getting shortlisted was still super exciting~ (and i'm still freaking out white turned into an actual steamed bun lol wot)

thanks for the poll and congrats to the new names :)
Skree
^^ I really like that it was changed to Vapours, as "The Vapours" is an old southernism that describes a myriad of conditions, including flushing of the skin and fainting. LOL
Stiles
Voted for all minis the vapors so that's pretty cool almost all
Chocolate
A big thank you to staff for letting us use the polls! 2000 people got to participate, which is amazing!
Luck
VapoUrs, huh? heads to the consistency issues thread :P
Hamda
Oh the white one I picked didn't make it. what a Buzzkill ;)
Tex707
Yay! I love the strain names! I was caught between Grosseries and Foo Freight because they're both wonderful. ^_^
Lirikai
All my hate for Grosseries. Oh, well. I like that it was a poll this year! Feels like more people got the chance to opt in on it that way.
Porygon
i think i voted for all of these o: if not they're still great!
Chansey
Yay Grosseries has won! I like that one the most (:
Johnny_673
getting White skin next cause name is so relatable lmao
thanks staff for creating an official pool!
WinterMoon
Awww, I voted "Mindscrew" for red.
Sonic_620
was hoping for steamed buns before it was a bao.... oh well
