Hadn't noticed that another game was going on already! I don't think Monstress needs any more points, so dividing up (fairly) evenly among the "Postboot"...

Good to see you posting in the game, Seemingly Impossible! I actually tried to PM you, but you had the feature disabled, and I didn't want to resort to email
As a surprise bonus, I've decided to give these 15 Legionnaires a boost for Round 8 - they'll start that round with a 15% bonus of their accumulated votes. It's a sort of reward for them making it cleanly into the Top 25 without any second chances.
Edit: After crunching some numbers, I may lower the bonus for the Top 15. I'm trying to do some math and arrive at a number that'll give the Top 15 a decent boost without making it insurmountable. Currently, the Top 2 in accumulated votes are so far ahead that too large a boost will make it impossible to eliminate them in Round 8.
Although don't worry, this boost will only be for Round 8. Come Round 10 and beyond, it won't apply anymore.
We bid farewell to a lot of top vote-getters: Preboot AND Postboot Saturn Girl; Gates; Postboot Invisible Kid; XS; Preboot Wildfire; Laurel Gand; Preboot Phantom Girl; Preboot Shadow Lass.
Fear not, though - second chances abound in this game, as next round will show.
For this round, everyone gets 500 points to distribute in ANY WAY they wish. As long as the points add up to 500, it's good!
Now, though, voting is open to all Legionnaires eliminated in Rounds 3 to 6.
The Top 10 Vote getters join our Top 15 in the Top 25 - although the Top 10 here won't have the benefit of bonus points at the start of Round 8.
Round ends early morning, US Pacific time, November 16, Wednesday.
House Rules
1) Each round will last about 48 hours, and will end early morning PST. 2) I'll vote at or near the start of every round to eliminate bias on my part. 3) I won't disallow changing of votes. I'll post on this thread the minute I start tallying to alert everyone; votes (or vote changes) that come in after that will be ignored. 4) In case of errors in the results, I'll post a correction immediately. If anyone's vote was affected by the error, and that poster wasn't able to correct the error in time, he or she will get a makeup vote next round - +15 points to give a Legionnaire of their choosing. 5. Ties will be broken by looking at the accumulated votes Legionnaires earned in previous rounds. 6. Voting rules may change every round, so read carefully before posting! 7. Points also reset per round, giving each Legionnaire a clean slate. But every vote is important because accumulated votes from previous rounds are used to break ties. You never know when such a vote can save one of your favorites!

For those who missed it, I edited the results post above to say that I'm still determining how large a boost to give the Top 15 next round. I'm trying to find a balance between giving them a good enough reward, and not letting their lead become too insurmountable.

And the fact that the majority here are Postbooters has nothing to do with this right?

That was really tough. I had to just decide to put all my eggs in one or two baskets, and give up a lot of characters that I like way better than the ones who made it to the top 15.

Honest Injun, after starting Round Six I had planned to give some sort of "reward" to the Top 15. But since some of us had already cast their votes, I decided to announce it at the close of the round instead I thought knowledge of the bonus might affect how some of us would vote.
That's also why I made sure not to alter my vote at all, and why I posted the voting format for the next few rounds a while back.
I am concerned about the size of the bonus. I think 15% may be too much. Hmm... I'll run some calcs when I have more time
