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!
?????? who hates puns???? do you also hate laughter and joy? what kind of sUpeR eDgY names were you hoping for on a virtual pet site???
"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.
This is your punishment.
Idk why so many hate it, I love bad puns. They fill my heart with goo.
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...
Ugh. Puns. Again. This is part of why I hate this community.
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!
Historically, we all know what the cure for the Vapors was....
Red will forever be sosig. All hail Sosig.
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.
When will they be added to the wardrobe so we can remove them?
I was hoping for Steamed Buns & Root Riot, but... Still good names, and will forever love Lobotomeat!
I love Grosseries so much, glad it won!
Sad about "Lobotomeat" but oh well.
Wait, you're from England? Do you still live there or did you move?
I don't understand the name for the white one...
ok well i’m still gonna call it steamed buns lmao
Haha, no worries! Thank you!
I had thought that the name for green would be something like what was chosen and I"m glad it was.
- 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 :)
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...
Imagine being salty because a name that you didn’t choose won
Those names gave me a chuckle. Good job.
loving the names, so many puns... lol 😂
I heard people say it might help to save your avatar again in the Wardrobe. The "Wear this outfit"-option.
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. has been spelling it officially as ‘The Vapors’ the entire time.
i like all of these except for the one for White but oh well
That is the UK spelling of it ;)
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!
Can you make sure it’s ‘The Vapors’ and not ‘The Vapours’? Not sure how that extra U snuck in there.
But trepaination was so clever!!
I can live with most of them, but you'll never win me round on 'Lobotomeat'. There were so many better suggestions.
Which virus did you choose and about when did you sign up for it?
My infection Isn’t progressing. What do I do?
I love Buzzkill as a name, thanks to the person who suggested it.
So glad Grosseries made it. It is so bad it needed to happen.
"The" is gonna get removed, just like The Bakers Kiss's plushie is actually "Bakers Kiss Zombie Plushie"
Eww, that's right, grosseries is gross.
I voted for all of the winners, wow
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? -__-
Not a big fan of "The Vapors", but they all sound super gross and i like that aspect.
I clicked to be part of VIP and didnt get "bitten" for a week so I tried to buy one instead and now Ive been "bitten" but no idea what strain. I think its broken?
