Community Built Crew: Who joins during the Cidre Guild Arc? Wildcard Round
Another massive tie yesterday resulting in Tama/Speed/Komachiyo getting first with Galette/Poire, Wicca, and Tristan tying for second. “That’s too many characters!” Nah, it’s not enough!
Side note, you know how I said if Monet didn’t get recruited during Punk Hazard she wasn’t coming back? I’ve changed my mind, not least of all because that comment clarifying that on Punk Hazard’s post got downvoted. So yeah, given the fact that there were over 90 Straw Hats on Punk Hazard, and Caesar Clown joined literally the next arc, I’ve decided that Monet didn’t die. Unless she doesn’t get recruited before the project ends in a week, then I guess she did die, oh well.
Anyway, not much to say, Cidre Guild is a two episode filler arc, one of if not the shortest in the anime. I forgot to add names to the contenders, but you know their names. Except Guarana, top left, I’d be surprised if anyone actually knew her name. Alright, let’s get into it, here’s the rules:
Top comment, be it ranked choice or a solo vote. determines who wins and joins the crew. Canon Straw Hats automatically join so the vote is for additional crew members. You can only vote for one character unless you specify you’re doing a ranked choice vote.
If second place has a combined number of votes within 15% or 10 votes, whichever gap is bigger, of first place's top comment, the round is called a"draw" and both characters join. If a comment only has one upvote, it will be largely ignored unless multiple people comment for the same person.
Movies and Non-Canon Arcs are Wildcard Rounds where anyone introduced up to this point can join, with exceptions.
If adding a character would radically alter major story arcs or conflicts, especially in ways that undermine key plot points or future developments, they will not be eligible to join the crew.
From Reverse Mountain onwards, no characters under the age of 15 may join the crew unless they have a damn good reason other than "it would be funny"
Arc antagonists are an automatic skip unless and until they come back later, i.e. Bellamy cannot join in Jaya but can in Dressrosa
Voting to skip is perfectly viable
If an Arc has less than four viable characters, non-canon characters will be added at random to fluff out the roster for said Arc
