Stage 7 started hitting so we've officially closed the polls! The chosen names were:
Yellow: Buzzkill Red: Lobotomeat Green: Grosseries White: The Vapors
Whether you love them or hate them, go on over to the Strain Tracking Thread to continue following the virus progressions - and thank you to all those that voted!
Hooray for Grosseries! I really liked Root Riot too but they were pretty much even.
RIP Steamed Buns. I like them all but The Vapours (even though I didn't vote for Grosseries, but that's fine)
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 :)
^^ 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
Voted for all minis the vapors so that's pretty cool almost all
A big thank you to staff for letting us use the polls! 2000 people got to participate, which is amazing!
VapoUrs, huh? heads to the consistency issues thread :P
Oh the white one I picked didn't make it. what a Buzzkill ;)
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.
i think i voted for all of these o: if not they're still great!
Yay Grosseries has won! I like that one the most (:
getting White skin next cause name is so relatable lmao thanks staff for creating an official pool!
Awww, I voted "Mindscrew" for red.
was hoping for steamed buns before it was a bao.... oh well i love the other names! voted for those ones :)
Thanks to for sorting through all of our ramblings to organize the name suggestions and for setting up the polls!
And thanks to and for running the Tracking thread. <3
