.And Voting is Done!!! · 5:53pm Sep 9th, 2012
The final results-
Outgoing-75
Shy Shutin- 74
Hey Good Looking- 122
Hey... Not so Good Looking-4
Too Smart-95
The “Special” Child- 95
Athlete- 137
Couch Potato- 12
Diva- 54
Tone Deaf- 45
... I'm not kidding... you guys tied the Smart/Special vote! Out of all the odds... you guys somehow tied it... I just can't believe this one.
Well time to ask my bro what he would want(he has no idea about this story.)
Okay so I asked him this, "Would you rather make the most advance spaceship with light speed travel or the Flux Capacitor from Back to the Future?"
And he wanted to make the Flux Capacitor, so Special it is. (Also I did flip a coin and it came up Special.)
So then the final winners are Athlete/Hey Good Looking/Special Child!!!
Now then I got a few things to say about this last vote.
The one thing that I was getting a little mad at was that a ton of you where saying "He needs to be a Athlete, he lives with the Apple Family." These votes aren't about what would happen, it's about what you guys want to happen. I could have made a somewhat believable story with Couch Potato, the Apple's might have forced him to stay inside all the time to make 100% sure that no one would see him and that would have lead him to make stuff earlier so he could pass the time. He would have had several more inventions to start out with that path, thus leading to him putting up some fight august Nightmare Moon.
Also there seemed to be a bit of confusion about how the votes will effect him. Only the three winners will really effect him, the other two(Outgoing/Shy and Diva/Tone Deaf) wont effect him with either extreme. He wont be Outgoing or Shy and wont be good or bad at singing, he will be the middle ground with both of those.
Now then, I was going to troll you guys again this week but I think I'll tell you rather then pissing you guys off. Next chapter wont be chapter 5, it will be chapter 4.5. This chapter will go through the important milestones with short stories for each one (walking, talking, teeth.) and it will show Johnny slowly moving into his new personality.
And with all that done with, this blog post is finished, 'til next time readers.
w00t update soooon~!
Special child = Wild Wild Wasteland (trait)
"Uhh, Captian? Not trying to sound rude, but... Where did you get that red-and-white polka-dotted fedora? More importantly, why are you wearing it?
Good I wanted to change my vote anyway. Better to have him as special kid ^^
you have NO idea how happy I am to know that the child will be "Special". If I had to describe what I envision him being like, The Word Autism comes to mind. Not the normal type, either. I'm talking about more like Jake, the Kid that memorized 200 digits of PI.
I'd pick him to be smart
346884
That kid makes me jelly...
346871 Because if I wear it anywhere else it chafes.
346884 Knowing vaguely how autistics work (myself having Asperger's syndrome), it was bound to happen.
Y'see, if we find out exactly what we are interested in, we will blow your mind. Especially if there's nothing about real life at all limiting us.
Welp, time to go to work on the next chapter.
how will being a special child affect him in the long run?
Will he be mentally handicapped, or just be like applejack is at math
What if what I want the most logical outcome to happen? :P
346978 I beleive when we voted again on this he stated that "Special Child" just means he doesn't think anything is impossible and is more likely to make insane inventions, like the example above or a mech instead of a car.
347079
thanks for explaining that to me
Interesting... so what I'm getting from this is NO choice is completely bad or completely good. Am I on the right track?
'Til next time Author.
Wait, WHAT?! We tied it?! Bloody ell! Thats amazing! Still, would have been happy either way, though Special opens up an absurd amount of crazy awesome technology and options. Plus, hes still freaking smart, just in a different way. On that note, I choose Athletic less for the circumstances in which he became Athletic, and more for the options created by it.
347175
Yep, each one actually has it's positives and negatives regardless of how they sound.
346961.....It seems as though you're implying that I don't know how Autism and/or Aspergers Syndrome work. I hope that's not the case, because I do in fact, have Autism. Aspergers Syndrome specifically. And you're right. I like to think that Every person with Autism has a very specific talent.
Mine is memory. I remember all sorts of nigh Useless information, and I never forget any of it. For instance, Did you know that The Pacemaker was an accidental invention?
Special Child!? NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHH!!!!! I WANT STEAMPUNK! NAU!!!
I think that he'll somehow get the mantra of 'There are no limits!'.
I'd prefer that he be smart, but special child has its own pros.
348673 Neat. I hope I said "I have Asperger too" right. Because I do have it. One of the most confusing things out there to me is text conversation.
You know the pacemaker thing from "Cracked", don't you?
348710 Who says he won't do that? Special just opens up the crazy awesome tech tree instead of the logic tech tree. I, for one, am expecting lightsabers.
350271
It's not just technology that it can effect, there are still plenty of paths that isn't the inventor path.
350286 I realize that, when I say tech tree, I mean like branching paths. Theres so much someone who rejects the word "impossible" can do. Noteable quotes from such people are, "Kick reason to the curb and go beyond the impossible! Thats what Team Gurren stands for!" -Kamina, "I reject your reality and substitute it with my own!" -Adam Savage, and "Impossible is a word people who haven't even tried use." -. . . I forget this last one. I look forwards to whatever insanity this choice brings!
Whoa whoa whoa there hotshot. What the hell? Your telling us that just because we like, we WANT, to see the most logical and likely outcome... That we are too stupid to get the concept of voting on story elements? That because we like seeing the most "realistic" evolution of events that our opinion is somehow less valid than someone who likes random off the wall shit? Bad form, bad form indeed!
~Signed,
Someone who made the same argument in question.
350303 Gurren Lagann for the win! "I reject your reality and substitute it with my own!" is definitely one of the top 3 ways to win an argument, along with "Blue Pig!" and "
-Anything- Matrix! 
And... I win the argument! YAY!". What? You never heard of Wimmer's Law? It is like Godwin's Law only with the Matrix instead of Nazis.
