Please please be nice
Comments are moderated
No limits set on number of votes (but Crowdsignal does automatically limit if you vote too fast, which I estimate at more than 25 votes with breaks under a minute)
I can delete votes from bots on my end, so keep that in mind.
The winner of the wild card poll will replace the poll winner with the fewest votes (but only with the wild card winner themselves also has more votes than the ship they're replacing). This is the final round with a wild card opportunity.
Polls close Friday April 23rd 6PM PT

Hi everyone!! Thank you for your patience and being so generally lovely this year. April has been insanely busy for me at work. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to be as quick as I normally would be with all this. I forgot to even post on Tumblr last round! But I wanted to let you know well in advance so you can rest and prepare.

The Sweet Sixteen round will launch on Sunday April 18th at 12PM PT.

ALNM 2021 Ship Bracket (Round of 32)

[UPDATE 2]: Been getting some more messages, so bolding some key points in the previous update and initial post.

[UPDATE]:

If a bracket is ever fully frozen beyond your individual votes, I will make an announcement and adjust the timing to make up for it.
Oftentimes if you're frozen out from over voting too quickly, you'll just get a thank you message without your vote getting counted. That seems to be a common issue that I've recreated on test polls.
Also a heads up, it's 25 votes per IP address. So if you're voting with a friend using the same internet connection, both your votes will be counting towards that limit.
I just closed and reopened all the polls, so hopefully everyone is starting fresh again and able to vote.
Moderating comments now, cause I forgot before. Oops.
Ships often have huge drop-offs between rounds due to strategic voting and team ups between other ships and the like. I see it every year. Things like that can happen when you're a small site like mine, and that was part of the reasoning behind the addition of wild card polls.
I know more about some of your sleeping habits than I ever intended too. This is your reminder to get some rest and drink some water.

I'm so sorry for the delay everyone. Work has been absolutely crazy this week and by the time I sign off for the day (technically night) I am way too tired to set up the next round of brackets. But the next round will open on

SUNDAY APRIL 4TH at 12PM PT

And yes, there will be a wild card poll :)
