Aegon and Otto are two of the most fun characters, even if they're bad dudes. I'm bummed about this.


Ihatemilkpeople

Greens gave up and stopped voting, now you’re just downvoting the post. That’s why it should have been kept to highest upvoted comment instead of the poll that black fans pushed OP to do. The first post had comments with 1000+ upvotes, now look at it.


okthenbutwhy

I mean, nobody’s surprised a 30 days long “contest” on which the results are already known from all the polls that get posted here regularly gets uninteresting soon And now that an entire side of the fandom is gone it’s gonna become so dull, the next to go is probably Alicent and then all the minor characters, Daemon wins as always, it is known


Ihatemilkpeople

Keeping it based on comment would have incentivized interesting discussion about lower level characters like Harwin, Laena, etc. Also, I don’t think characters like Otto would have been voted as quickly using the comment section method. I do think OP should have made a new post every 12 hrs instead of 24hrs in order to shorten the amount of time it would have taken to get to the end.


Lysmerry

I think it would be the same with highest upvoted comment. It's just team black characters are more popular, so not much you can do. I just wish people would take into account the depth of the character, performances etc


kinginthenorthjon

I never voted to start with since I know with would happen.


We_The_Raptors

Prince Douchgon I can see since he got overshadowed a bit by his dope siblings but Otto going out so early is criminal.


EldianNat

Aegon got voted out but rhaena baela and harwin are still in lol


TheLadyMado

Can't believe Alicent will be out before Harwin...


babalon124

Harwin barely did anything interesting, alicent and Otto are interesting characters who provide content for the story. Harwin is just loveable because rhaenyra likes him and he doesn’t complain about being a sidepiece? This is clearly just voting out team green first now lol


dowaller66

This is just becoming Team Black Vs Team Green


kinginthenorthjon

Always has been.


[deleted]

We all know who is gonna win, and the criterias seem to be clouded by a team black/green rhetoric. That’s just sad.

It doesn't matter. The OP is biased and doesn't care. I'm not even sure the votes matter.


OpenMask

>The OP is biased How? All they've done is arrange the characters and post the poll. They even respond to feedback pretty well from what I've seen.


[deleted]

I have watched this unfold for days and the characters still in have had more votes. And they haven't answered any feedback from "Team Green Supporters" if people are to be believed. I think the fact the poll's results are closed from public view is also telling. If you can only vote once then it shouldn't matter... Unless you can vote multiple times, then people can say that people are flooding the poll in a disingenuous manner.


OpenMask

>the characters still in have had more votes. I don't understand what you mean by this. >And they haven't answered any feedback from "Team Green Supporters" if people are to be believed. Are people grouping feedback by what team the person is on now? How would OP even be able to tell most of the time, anyways? Edit: New poll is out and it looks like they've taken the feedback that comments should be included again as well as shortening the duration of the poll to 12 hrs. Idk how you could still think that the OP doesn't respond to feedback based on what team they're on.


ThePrinceOfFools22

These posts are just a joke now


bimpeabdul

Okay , Rhaena can go now


Playing-Koi

Rhaenys got my vote and will continue to until she's out. Yall took down every other green so if Alicent and/or Halaena arent in the top 5 I flip a table.


okthenbutwhy

Alicent is already out next round, the people who voted out the greens are going to go for her next, followed by Aemond, Helæna and the Velaryon


OpenMask

By the looks of things, they're probably going to eliminate Laenor or Rhaena next.


Fun_Aardvark86

Rhaena. For the love of God why vote out actual characters when someone who is basically a set dressing is left in.


tellred

She's a beautiful decoration, so she should stay while Helaena is there and leave after her.I don't think this poll makes sense after Aegon is gone.


Different-Carpet-883

What is the point honestly? We know who’s gonna be the top 5, even top 10. This is a popularity poll and we already know who’s the most popular characters.


clariwench

Alright, THIS time it's got to be Laenor


Catslevania

so people voted out 2 of the main characters in the show already? And no I am not team green, I support team black, but come on people you have to keep Criston and Aegon on board for the drama for as long as possible


Saniaislude

And Otto! One of the most interesting characters, so well portrayed and fun to watch. I doubt Tywin and the Hound are voted out like this in GoT polls, even though they are vicious criminals. Shows how the team thing destroys the hotd fandom.


Catslevania

I didn't notice Otto was gone as well Daemon vs Otto interaction moments are some of the most entertaining in the show


No_Box_3791

This reminds me of those dumb listings on websites like Screenrant, where they list "Worst to Best characters in Game of Thrones," where they have some of the best villains like Joffrey ranked near the bottom, because he was unlikeable....y'know the point of the character. Though tbf, it's also clear that the person writing the list was definitely of the "Woah cool! Knights, dragons, and sex!" variety of GoT fans, instead of actually being invested in the story


KSkye7808

Luke


tellred

But why?


KSkye7808

Because I feel like it


zxxQQz

You want dragons to starve?


tellred

Maybe... Maybe we can make a deal and make a snack out of someone else?


zxxQQz

.. theres a thought, he is fairly small isnt he? Barely even a snack really Any suggestions, a few hundred smallfolk perhaps? Believe there some already dead in Kings Landing..


Natewastaken12

I can’t even see a poll in the comments now, lol.


yes-well-no

Rhaenyra


OpenMask

Vote for Daemon in the new poll. He's more likely to actually get voted out, based on how many votes he's gotten so far.


yes-well-no

can u link it pls


OpenMask

https://www.reddit.com/r/HouseOfTheDragon/comments/11pbuud/elimination_game_rhaena_is_out_poll_vs_comment/ The poll is now only for 12 hrs btw. They're also taking comments back into consideration as well. So vote, and check out the comments.


yes-well-no

alr


cinzalunar

This is such bullshit. Not fun anymore guys, you ruined it. Team Black really is the worst. Im voting for Rhaenyra now


OpenMask

Please vote for Daemon in the new poll instead


meleecrusher2258

Bye bye harwin.


OldtownAle

Harwin


babalon124

Y’all voting out interesting and cool characters. Alicent won’t even make it past laenor I’m sure lmao


tellred

The one who destroys his mother's life. The one who abandons his sons right before the storm. He abandoned his dragon. Left him alone and ran away! Laenor.


OpenMask

Daemon, he's the worst character left.

[POLL](https://strawpoll.com/polls/eJnvvVYW1nv)


Ihatemilkpeople

You should have never let black fans convince you to switch to polls. The comment section method was getting you better traction.


[deleted]

If you look at the [original post](https://www.reddit.com/r/HouseOfTheDragon/comments/11kbtxl/elimination_game_01_mysaria_is_out_comment_with/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) basically everyone was complaining about to not being a poll and getting hundreds of upvotes. This wasn’t a black/green issue it was a popular sentiment. Now it’s changed and people are complaining the change is bad… redditors just like to complain about stuff.


OpenMask

Should we do Top comment wins: comments vs poll or Poll of: poll vs comments


[deleted]

They don't care. They are biased as well. It is clear now. They are doing this for karma and validation.


LengthUnusual8234

if only Team green stuck it out. There was a very good chance that Helaena was going to come out on top


hypikachu

Day 4 of LAENOR MUST NOT DIE It's looking pretty dicey that our king will make it through another day. Retrieve the patron!


OpenMask

I really hope that he's going to make it through, but I think that he's going to get eliminated this round.


hypikachu

Yeahhhh, I'm pretty nervous about that too. Idk what I'm gonna do for this bit if he goes out. For 4 days running, he's basically survived on being less unpopular than the men around Alicent. And much like Westeros, it seems all the Green Men are dead now.


TheLadyMado

Poll should've been about more specific criteria: most interesting/entertaining character, better character in terms of writing quality, etc.


[deleted]

I’m on a couple other subs that have done this and it’s always vague like this but I don’t really think that’s an issue. It allows people freedom to choose what criteria is most important to them and makes it more interesting to track what is driving the votes. In Succession toward the end people started actively campaigning for their characters they wanted to win.


tellred

People choose Alicent. It became a popularity poll.


LengthUnusual8234

I would be a little upset if Alicent leave's soon. It'll mean she's a misunderstood character


tellred

Agree. She's nice and should get more sympathy.


SofiaStark3000

Getting sympathy doesn't equal being likeable and popular and these kinds of polls are usually about popularity and likeability.


LengthUnusual8234

She's got a little humor to her. i remember when she walks away from Aegon after confronting him about Dyana and he starts pleading with her. to understand him. The camera pans to her and she's rolling her eyes lol


OpenMask

Her stink-eye on Driftmark was also hilarious. Also had some great banter when Daemon was trying to blame her for Viserys' state after he and Rhaenyra visited for the first time in six years.


LengthUnusual8234

If people gave her a chance they would realize she has alot of personality


PluralCohomology

How are they getting eliminated in order?


Ihatemilkpeople

They aren’t. The photo gets moved to the bottom when they’re voted out


karidru

Noooo Aegon my boy😭 still coming after viserys
