"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.

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.

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.

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

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...

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.

I was hoping for Steamed Buns & Root Riot, but... Still good names, and will forever love Lobotomeat!

I had thought that the name for green would be something like what was chosen and I"m glad it was.

@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...

@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.

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!

I can live with most of them, but you'll never win me round on 'Lobotomeat'. There were so many better suggestions.

"The" is gonna get removed, just like The Bakers Kiss's plushie is actually "Bakers Kiss Zombie Plushie"
The Vapours is such a clunky name. The Vapours Zombie Plushie? -__-

RIP Steamed Buns. I like them all but The Vapours (even though I didn't vote for Grosseries, but that's fine)

^^ 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

A big thank you to staff for letting us use the polls! 2000 people got to participate, which is amazing!

Yay! I love the strain names! I was caught between Grosseries and Foo Freight because they're both wonderful. ^_^

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.
