We have some new polls up! Some may be more important than others. Some may warrant further discussion in the comments. HAVE A POSSIBLY VERY SHORT BURST OF FUN.

I'm the type of person who loves everything cute, and will almost always pick the cute option, so cute virus strains are the ones I prefer, however, some things can be spooky/gross and cute all at once (like the doll virus), and I'd probably pick spooky-cute over just cute most days.
THEN: Question: What age bracket do you fall in? Your vote: 19-24
NOW: How old are you NOW? Your vote: 31-34
I mean it doesn't matter to don't have get all of them. But a robot zombie skin would be great anyway.
By the virus skins I had voted for robots. I don't mind if Some skins has no the standard proportions. There a so much and te time of the strains will take each year longer. So there be always skins I like to got. It doesn't matter to get all of them.
It's not gonna happen - the most we're going to have is a base reshading, but the lineart of the base will not be touched for a simple reason - CW. A lot of CW artists are no longer around to redraw their art so that it can fit the new base.
Plus, I don't think the users will take it well if nothing was released for months, just so that the old items are redrawn for the new base.
It's something that could have been done before CWs. Now, it's no longer a thing that's viable.
love it
I can't type this late haha see below
don't remember if it was Fantine who used the phrase "it didn't work out" or someone else but I meant their relationship seemed like it just kind of got retcon'd away after the plot without a lot of explanation, not that I think they shoulda stayed together no matter what. I didn't remember most of those details, maybe I just wasn't paying attention or maybe I literally did just miss a news post about them.- at any rate the plot seems even less satisfying knowing all that! :P
Skitters was clearly paying WAY more attention to Ecks, even though Fantine got infected and literally died for him. Fantine knows her worth, and she dumped him because she rightly figured he wasn't all that into her. If they wanna lie and say it was mutual they can, but that's not what I saw. To me, "it didn't work out" is consistent with that plot.
Y’all can claim zombie viruses need to be only gorey and serious but it’s still a Valentine’s Day event. Let us have some pretty, cute, and more easily dressable options too. Whynotboth.jpg :D
So when can I get my private invite to Louis' parlor? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Also I totally saw that null poll option, I should have clicked it with the rest of you cheeky fricks.
Dang, I was in the 19-24 bracket, now I'm in the 25-30 bracket. Time needs to chill.
Well, you certainly aren't the only one. I made a comment about it as well earlier on this page. I've also been on here for a decade.
I like the plant/animal base strains best, the nature taking over theme.
Lol, wow. I was in the 19-24 age group in the first age poll. Now I'm 35! I wonder how many of us have been around since way back
I want an Alien or Eldritch horrors (tentacleeees) viruses :D

It's been a pleasure aging with you all <3 T_T
Oh man I was also weirdly attracted to pre-revamp skitters! I’d forgotten until I read your comment. What was that zombies appeal? XD And seconding how odd it was that him and Fantine got a whole plot around their romance then suddenly dropped it because “it didn’t work out”. Really took the wind out of the sails of that event haha.
Yaaaaay for Cute Viruses dominating the poll so far! >:}
I wish that the viruses could be worn in any stages instead of just the final one. The artwork demands it!
Yep, that's the one! I'd vote for her having the best hair onsite any day. ^_^
you mean this? [item2=Incredible Hair Tonic]
(in the Forum Shop)
I'm guessing the hair votes are aimed towards nailing down a consistent rendering for future HA items? Every time an old wig got updated last year users would argue over the how the hair drawn.
Oh man Skitters! I was weirdly attracted to him despite his grossness before his redesign, and now he's just gross sadly without the old charm, so it's nice to have the option of picking him with a caveat.
Still love his personality but hate the way him and Fantine broke up like it was no big deal, I mean why even, what was the point of being like "Side-note they're over now"?? It's not like they're real, JUST LEAVE THEM TOGETHER. DX
I love polls and surveys of any kind, no need for payment or a prize I just have this weird affinity for filling things out haha! Also it was really cool to see how much Subeta's demographic has shifted (though not surprising considering the last time the age poll was released).
I really didn't like this years strains. They were too graphic, too gross and kind of impossible to work an avie around. (Like the steam room one; why? How am I supposed to work with that?) I didn't see a point in getting any and it's a little too much work to get the ones of yesteryear, even though I do like the skeletal skins. I want the Pylot skin as well, but I'm kind of done with the avies we have in general. I know the undertaking would be huge but we really need more body diversity and posability. I'm so tired of the clubbed limbs and gigantic heads: fix this.
As for polls, love them but the rewards for taking them needs to be worth it. 10-500g isn't even a pittance, it's that minuscule.
Also, yes, please make Pylots pets!
Geode skin would be pretty darn cool. Crystallized mummies would also be neat. Personally I like any strain with an interesting progression, gross, cute, or otherwise. As long as its cool and feels like some kind of mutation is going on (Resident Evil comes to mind with its variety of different zombies), it's good.
I wish there was a "both" option for Louis and Skitters because I like them equally and I buy things based on what I need.
ROBOTS. <3
Voted 14-15 in the original "How old are you?" poll. Is now 25, omg time lapse.
I like the idea of a crystal/geode zombie skin. :o
Also Oatmeal is totally the best pet, I don't care what anyone else says lol
I voted for one of them before seeing "robots" as an option and i've been devastated about it for hours. that's my take
I loved Louis because I like his aesthetic more which I think is what the question was getting at based on items being involved in responses, but I really like Skitters' personality most. T-T Sorry Skitty.
NPC pets: I only really feel familiar with Luna.
Virus strains: I really like creative transitions that can get wild, but turn into something both spoopy and beautiful/cute. I like the variety we have now and only hope it continues.
I do wish there was an "none of the above" option on some of the polls. As for favorite virus? Seriously? I did like how Fevermore was close to being a threstral. But I also love some of the older viruses too. The age one I wish I'd answered it differently (I went honest and went "urh"; I come across as much younger than I am. oh well)
I was hoping someone in the comments had linked to all the npc pets. Bless your soul Pun!
As far as strains go, keep giving us variety please :) They don't have to have a theme either--like I could totally go for a macaroni monster or a stained glass skin or an cough ANIMATRONIC cough
How can y'all start arguments over little polls lol. This site is wild.
No one needs to get /an/y of the zombie strains if they don't want to, and there's nothing wrong with making requests for non gory ones! I myself found Lobotomeat a bit much this year and could of done with a warning of sorts ?
But moving on, I had a hard time picking which pet companion is best! ha ha
Why were there pics of the NPC with hair but not of the pets?
My favorite zombie strain is Baker’s Kiss! More pink zombies please!
Not to throw shade but with how rich Saggi is, his hair is a total mess and he should be ashamed
I wanted to vote on a better Favorite Land because YEAH WATER, but the Omen Islands are so underdeveloped, so I went with Delphi. Can we please flesh out the Omen Islands more? I need more aqua and hydrus pets yes.
I totally voted wrong in one of those, so now all your results are going to be skewed.
Also WHERE WAS OATMEAL???? or does he not count as a pet?
You know, now that I look at some of these poll questions it makes me wonder... is this like a foreshadowing to things to come? Like Zombie strains for next year, the hair question, maybe some new wig or wigs being made or at the very least styles. The lands question could be which land will get more love? And the NPC Pet question... maybe we'll get some new pet themed stuff down the road or some new interaction ideas? I'm just speculating here. And probably am off by a long shot.
Omg the original "How old are you" poll was SO long ago... my answer is at least 8 years old haha
I feel like the Louis vs Skitters is kind of rigged, at least for anyone who was here for the plots of years past. Compared to Skitters, Louis is a total stranger.
Thank you! If we don't get a cool geode crystal zombie skin, maybe I'll attempt to make one someday lol
I really like the cute and pretty zombie strains. I think there should be a good variety so it can appeal to more than just the horror-loving crowd. Grosseries is a weird one but I felt it was cool enough to snag. But any of the other ones this year are a bit too gross for me. Keep the gross, but please also have at least one that isn't so those of us who don't like it can still join the fun. (Although I have been completely emotionally exhausted so haven't been on much, but I wanted to chime in my 2 cents with the hope that I can be back to participating normally next year)
You've no idea how many pictures of crystallized skulls I have saved as inspiration and how much I would love a skin like this. Or a wearable that breaks the pieces apart into different sections like the Calaca set. ... In every color. Because I need bone + pink. Please.
More gore strains! Or funny-gore like Swan Flu -- I've genuinely forgotten what it's called XD
Also, who are you heathens who aren't picking Wes for best hair? I mean honestly.
broke: generic pretty skin that makes you a sparkly crystal person that still looks relatively normal woke: geode skeleton zombie like you suggested
It's funny how much the answers have changed between the 2 age polls. I feel so old looking at my original answer compared to now. 😭
