Redemption Round 3 - Match 32
It's time to rev up your voting engines for the last poll of RR3! Okay, I'll admit that that was a pretty forced pun. We have Revolutions with 152 votes from last round, up against Time of Revelation with 184 (and 315 Redemption votes total)! Two very different kinds of apocalypses (apocali?)...

Redemption Round 3 - Match 31
It's a battle of fucked up houses! Which of these statements has bigger House of Leaves energy? That's definitely one way you could vote in this poll! Cracked Foundation made it through with 128 votes, but can it stand up to Upon the Stair's astonishing 271 votes from RR2? (I don't remember enough from stats to say if Upon the Stair is a mathematical outlier but it definitely is colloquially)

John Gaius (The Locked Tomb) "Originally part of a team of scientists tasked with saving humanity from climate change, John was gifted strange necromantic powers by earth itself. He proceeded to use these powers to essentially start a cult. He attempts to convince various nations and companies to follow his plans for how to save the planet, but nothing works and eventually the whole thing has gone to such shit that John NUKES THE EARTH AND EVERY HUMAN STILL ON IT. He can feel them all die and uses their power to fuel himself, spending the next ten thousand years chasing after the trillionaires who escaped the planet, blaming them for the destruction of humanity. He is so afraid of Extinction that he literally causes the mass Extinction of every living thing on earth. Oh also he takes the dead, resurrected soul of planet earth and traps it in a barbie doll, and what is more Extinction than the soul of our planet trapped in plastic?"
The Final Pam (Monster Factory) "Well, you start with Fallout, already a highly Extinction-aligned game. Then, by breaking the laws of the universe, you begin to tear it apart from the inside out, bare-handed, no holds barred, accompanied only by the memories of your many husbands and sons. Then, when that is not enough, when the level of visceral destruction you have left in your wake is not enough to slake your thirst for vengeance, when the firepower of a thousand landmines is not enough, then! You ascend. You rip down the world layer by layer, until all that remains is the delicate framework that holds it all together. The world combusts and reforms, an endless, deathless realm that you are simply too great to be confined by.
This is what it is to be the Final Pam.
(For anyone not familiar with the story of Pam, Who Death Forgot, take about an hour or so and treat yourself to the three-part epic. Congratulations! You're one of today's lucky 10,000.) (CW: video game blood and violence, insects, occasional flashing lights and loud noises)"
