The false idol will be dethroned.

Because I forgot to mention it before and because this is more informal- as a popularity contest with 0 stakes, attempted bribery of the public is entirely acceptable. People have sometimes offered to do art if their favorite won- nobody is obliged to do this but it's perfectly acceptable. Personally, though, I'd rather keep this to the questden community- unless you think people are going to hang around, read quests, and interact, I request that you don't canvas for vote outside Questden and Questden-adjacent communities.

In the end, this is mostly an excuse to talk about characters and quests you like, especially if you haven't had a chance to remember or discuss them in a while.

I think I'm going to nominate RILEY of Cedar Ridge
https://questden.org/kusaba/quest/res/1044452.html

>>140141
Sure, if there's interest I could do another best neumono poll in the future. Until then Polo's reign is supreme.

not nominating RHBDS would be a crime

>>140145
I'm guessing that's one of Apple's dragons from the recent spate of dragon quests, but as a reminder please specify the quest the character is from as a minimum- other info can help but isn't needed.

I'll draw whichever character wins

I nominate Pillet, from Haze Town!
https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/921083.html#921400
No doubt she's got a slew of chest-related skills, as a bonus.

Sorry, Momo... someone else can nominate you~

From what I understand, we can nominate multiple chreasts. So how about Marlene Collins of Calliope fame.
https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/823974.html

>>140149
You sure can! Nominate as many as you like. So far I haven't had to impose any particular limits, the highest we got was a bit more work to do but still manageable.

Kaia from Sojourn has a good set. And she's a buune! I shall nominate her.
https://questden.org/kusaba/graveyard/res/1010895.html#1010924
https://questden.org/kusaba/graveyard/src/163209894038.jpg

The Sect Queen from O/I/R,
And the Sect Queen from Tobak Quest,
And Momo from Unbalanced,
And Amica from Last Trace.

And Ol' Nine Eyes from The God Damned,
With a torso real spooky,
Lucha Quest's Trisha,
And sure-to-lose Tsuki.

...Well since Roaway offered to draw... Alice from Bloom just to see her in his artstyle. "Huh? How is she allowed since bloom last updated over a year ago?" Well, sort of. Should spinoffs be okay it's fine because of the dungeon spinoff. https://tgchan.org/kusaba/quest/res/1060899.html "Her pair is too small!" Four words. High. Density. Fluid. Sacs. For the confused, see https://questden.org/kusaba/graveyard/res/957117.html#964905 - just imagine she did put the sacs upon her upper torso

Ill draw whoever gets second place

Ooh, I've got a few!

Elaine from Clothing Repair (https://questden.org/kusaba/graveyard/res/1011088.html) is pretty great. Love the chest fluff.

Shelli from Lascivious Labyrinth (https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/1031913.html) was definitely a fave from that thread. She just barely makes it within the time limit to be nominated

Hailey from TENSION (https://questden.org/kusaba/quest/res/1062470.html), because pointy boobs shouldn't be hot, and yet with her...

>>140145
This person brought it up above, but just to state it in a clearer nomination style: The Ridiculously Huge Boobs Dragon Sorceress from Ridiculously Huge Boobs Dragon Sorceress Pt. 6 (https://questden.org/kusaba/quest/res/1062859.html), because damn. DAMN!

Nominations are closed- thanks everyone who participated! The poll will be up tomorrow morning- nominations started late in the month so I wanted to give as much time today as I could, and also I need to figure out whether to still use Google polls or not.

Alright! On the stroke of noon in my timezone, here's the poll!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSel44TqTKM1w7V7iLrXo4Wvwfx55QD4nguWoI3FHIRNVtBw3Q/viewform

You'll need to be signed in so Google can ensure only one response per person.

May the best chest win!

And with 21 votes, the preliminaries are OVER! In true Questden tradition, ties abound.

RESULTS:
In first place, RILEY from Cedar Ridge with 8 votes!

Just behind her, tied for second place are MOMO from UNBALANCED and RIDICULOUSLY HUGE BOOBS DRAGON SORCERESS from R.H.B.D.S. PART 6, each with 6 votes!

And barely behind those two are another two entries tied for fourth place, Pillet from Haze Town, Marlene Collins from Calliope, both with 5 votes apiece!

Close on their heels are the four (4) entries tied for sixth place, Kaia from Sojourn, The Sect Queen from Tobak, Alice from Bloom, and last but certainly not least Hailey from Tension!

Thank you to our faithful runners-up and the people who nominated them for their participation- Trisha from Lucha quest got 3 votes, The Sect Queen from O/I/R, Tsuki from Lucha Quest, and Elaine from Clothing Repair all got 2 votes, Amica from Last Trace and Shelli from Lascivious Labyrinth both got 1 vote, and finally Ol' Nine Eyes from The God Damned wins Best Male Chest with a staggering 0 votes! Was he dragged back by being the only dude entered or by his unconventional body plan? Only time can tell!

For now, find the semifinals HERE! Still no limit on how many you can pick until the finals, you can edit responses, etc. Responses are still limited to 1 per person so being signed into a Google account is required.

HERE WE GO! This will likewise run for 3 days.

Hellooooooooooooooooo everyone! With 22 votes, the semifinals are OVER! This time I didn't vote until nearly the end and had to consider whether I should vote with myself being tainted by knowledge of who was tied, whether I wanted to deal with being any sort of kingmaker even in a completely trivial popularity contest, and so on. Then I remembered dice existed and voted at random to try and break the tie. The will of Questden manifested and the dice made the tie worse. So without further ado, the

RESULTS:
In first place, RILEY from CEDAR RIDGE and KAIA from SOJOURN, each with 7 votes!

In third place, MARLENE COLLINS from CALLIOPE with 6 votes!

And tied for fourth place are RIDICULOUSLY HUGE BOOBS DRAGON SORCERESS from R.H.B.D.S. PART 6, PILLET from HAZE TOWN, THE SECT QUEEN from TOBAK, and HAILEY from TENSION, each with 5 votes!!!

Thanks to our semifinalists and all those who nominated them- Momo from Unbalanced got 4 votes and Alice from Bloom got 2 votes!! Is Questden just too vanilla for a little monstrosity in their ladies? Alas and alack!

And HERE are the finals! At long last, you can only vote for one candidate in this one. I look forward to seeing how people's votes change! Responses are still limited to 1 per person so being signed into a Google account is required.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScZhw6XZ0iRPvxb7CSwZ5zwgs1eXlCsACxnw2ag7iYilHSJZw/viewform

HERE WE GO! As usual, this'll run for 3 days. After which I'll announce results and open nominations for the next poll's theme- no spoilers but it'll probably be dude-oriented after the tragic lack of male chests in these nominations.

And the finals are OVER! Thanks again, everyone who made these characters, ran these quests, and nominated them! With a surprising total of 45 votes cast, heeeeere's our


RESULTS:

🥇👑KAIA👑🥇 from SOJOURN is our winner for Questden 2023's Best Chest, with 13 votes! Send her your congratulations, everyone!

By a narrow margin, 🥈RILEY🥈 from CEDAR RIDGE is our second place winner with 11 votes!

Coming in third is 🥉THE SECT QUEEN🥉 from TOBAK, with nine votes!

Tied for fourth place are 🎖️Marlene Collins🎖️ from Calliope, and 🎖️Hailey🎖️ from Tension, each at four votes!

And last but certainly not least, tied for sixth are Ridiculously Huge Boobs Dragon Sorceress from R.H.B.D.S. Part 6 and (my personal pick, now that all's said and done I can reveal this) Pillet from Haze town, each with 2 votes!

Once again, congrats to all the finalists! Also, the amount of votes in the final round is a bit weird- I'd like to think people just get more pumped for the finals so I'll keep an eye on future voting patterns. If someone shared the poll somewhere else, that's fine but to reiterate I prefer you do that in communities already adjacent to Questden since it's meant to be a community event to get people chatting about who they like. And of course if you did, I'm curious who all dropped in. A third possibility is people making alts to stuff the polls- please don't do this. The polls have no stakes so it doesn't achieve anything beyond messing with the fun. Hopefully that's unfounded and it really is just more people getting interested, though!

And with the results announced, I'm opening nominations for the next poll:

WHO'S THE CUTEST FURRY BOY IN QUESTDEN HISTORY?

Doesn't have to be any particular year this time, still has to have appeared in at least one panel of a canon update in a quest thread. The dudes were woefully underrepresented in the chest poll, so let's get some boykissers in here!

>>140292
Since someone asked a good question on Discord I'm restating this for clarity- I don't gatekeep nominations basically at all, unless you're somehow committing a hate crime or something you can nominate anyone for anything. I prefer to let votes handle it if people feel someone doesn't qualify.

So for this specific situation, you can nominate anyone you think is cute and fits the vibe. They don't have to have fur or a penis or whatever- trans people, aliens, scalies, and whatever are all equally welcome.

I nominate
Samson D. Smith from Small quest
and
Ixander from Sexcom

>>140292
Yisi from After Quest Ch.3

I'm sorry Buxom Rig- I mean, Riley, I'll try to rig the voting next time.

As usual, vote for as many as you please on a ballot, only submit one ballot, it'll be up for about 3 days before I start the semifinals. Let me know if I missed a nomination- there's 38 that I caught so some might have slipped through the cracks. Similarly, a quest author can let me know either here or on Discord that they'd like to update their character's image or that they're not comfortable with a character being in a poll.

And with 40 votes, the CFB preliminaries are OVER! Continuing true Questden tradition, ties abound.

Screaming behind in fifth place is PASCOE from RETURN TO SENDER, with 17 votes!

Close in sixth place is SAMSON D. SMITH from SMALL QUEST, with 15 votes!

In seventh place is AXYL from TOBAK QUEST, with 14 votes!

And last but never least, tied for eighth place are HOK from ASTEROID QUEST, HUNTER WEBB from CRYSTAL SPIRE, and VA.NE.TU from FLOCKLOAD OF PROBLEMS, all with 13 votes!

MOST MEMORABLE QUESTDEN VILLAINS!

Any antagonists are fine! Any villainous characters are fine! As ever, I'm not gatekeeping so long as you don't commit a hate crime or something- just nominate people and let the votes see who's qualified! No particular year either this time, has to have appeared in at least one post of a canon update, you know how it is.

my nominations:

Ava from 2 frames quest https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/780088.html#781898

Virgil Moss from Team Port Echo https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/751216.html#755605

Liminal/Max and Boss from Catalyst/Queen of Hell https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/993796.html#997239
https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/1038626.html#1041119

Farmer Sheppard from Perpetuity https://questden.org/kusaba/quest/res/1038059.html#1065665

Mai Terrorscale from Lazy fairy https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/1021044.html#1026798

Lord Lung from Queen Chinzebeth https://questden.org/kusaba/questdis/res/134350.html#134353

Tsuki from Lucha Quest https://questden.org/kusaba/quest/res/1063589.html#1064524

I'd like to nominate The Suggestors, from every quest ever. We've all hated them at one point or another. Shoutout to everyone who voted for Pierre to leave in a recent Lazy Fairy update, I hate all of you. https://questden.org/kusaba/quest/res/1064862.html#1071636

I'll also nominate w2K from 30 Updates or Less https://questden.org/kusaba/graveyard/res/1014571.html#1042272

and Crown from Lover's Quarrel https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/1044334.html#1044959

va.ne.tu got further than expected so more blatant self-nominations

Imperium from Salikai https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/862495.html#862737
My.a from Flockload of Problems https://questden.org/kusaba/quest/res/1066631.html#1066926

Ace from RubyQuest
Kyaos from Journey Quest

I too will pursue blatant self nomination and suggest Deem from Dungeoneer:
https://questden.org/wiki/Dungeoneer

>>140679
I'll do the suggestors if you can provide an image for them that everyone can agree will identify them on sight.

Dog with a Gun from The Villians Win
https://questden.org/kusaba/graveyard/res/1023844.html#1023847

Sevener from UnSe
https://questden.org/kusaba/questdis/res/56436.html#60903

Hah, Cirr your stuff is great but you have way worse villains than my.a and her chaos. From salikai (plus a few others like khashusivni) is the eternal parasitic death-cult that is The Kiter Empire. Hard to say what pic would fit the empire as a whole, though 1045's sand analogy sums 'em up pretty well. https://questden.org/kusaba/graveyard/res/910105.html#952445 Plus "prequel" Typhon of reformation here: https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/471394.html#473385 (Odon would be added, however Imperium beats his megalomania with ease.) Guess I'll toss in a few others. For the enemy within niche is Kan of Salikai as well. Father Zozu of asteroid for faceless criminal boss. Vanski of Polo/Penn for MAD SCIENCE. Xotl Dragonslayer of bloom for dangerous competence (special mention to helmet guys and NCO arkot because of general competence). Baron Obsidian of EDF for having class. Plus... uh... help me out here, have we had a quirky miniboss squad?

Oh if we're doing villainous protagonists too, then:

Tory Sinclair from Tory's Tower

Hey, that makes Muschio Malto from Divequest a nominee too.
I'd also like to nominate the Kariket from Enemy Quest.

>>140686
I've gotta thank Ed for pulling this from Rise of the Cyclops. Credit to Apples for their depiction of the audience as a shadowy board of advisors. https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/611369.html#611388

Oh derp. Duchess Kalez of king of pentacles. Oh, while Rokoa was technically an initial antagonist of AQI not gonna nominate if only because she may ROFLstomp. So have a Rokoa-ish mech pilot instead. https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/436389.html#442931

Memorable all around:
Harold Quillig from Tozol Quest: https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/202825.html

Radula from Book of Worms: https://questden.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Worms

The Pilgrim from Nan Quest: https://questden.org/wiki/NanQuest

Memorable 'cause they are dickish:
Caevaexerin Brass from The God Damned:https://questden.org/kusaba/graveyard/res/944457.html

Rainer from Return to Sender:https://questden.org/kusaba/graveyard/res/1011811.html

Memorable 'cause they are bloody, creepy and bloody creepy:
Jadis and "Mary" from You Died/Stare at Explosions: https://questden.org/wiki/You_Died

Lak from Tobak Quest
https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/1017229.html#1022623

Lord Vackles from Fen Quest

My nominations:
Svart from Plushquest: https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/src/164169709466.png

Mimi from Plushquest: https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/src/163640334796.png

Rancid from you lived/stare at explosions https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/1006058.html#1007604

This was a character I remember the suggestors hating and wanting to kill.

If we're looking for 'villains the audience overall liked', I nominate Sloane from Acid Soup: https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/691136.html
If we're looking for "villains the audience wanted to strangle", I'd vote for Nanako's mom:
https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/676703.html
>>682620
Or Rae's:
https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/1047747.html
>>1062839
There's just... something sick about a person who can masque their twisted mental state just enough to be loved and respected by their local community, yet spend every waking moment with their kids belittling and beating them, trying to mold their children's souls as if they're entitled to, and then acting surprised when said kids go nuts or lose confidence in themselves.

Long overdue but got a picture that fits the Kiter Empire. Will defer to Cirr if he has a preferred image though. https://questden.org/kusaba/graveyard/src/162751317150.png

Last minute nominations, cuz why not:
Xeno from System Boot Zero: https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/1000552.html#1062029

And here's the preliminaries for Questden's most memorable villain! Sad news- Ruby Quest didn't take place on Questden despite its popularity on Questden, so Ace was disqualified, and "Mary" from You Died doesn't appear in the quest beyond references to her existing.

As usual, vote for as many as you please on a ballot, only submit one ballot, it'll be up for about 3 days before I start the semifinals. Let me know if I missed a nomination- there's 46 that I caught so some might have slipped through the cracks. Similarly, a quest author can let me know either here or on Discord that they'd like to update their character's image or that they're not comfortable with a character being in a poll.

Someone was kind enough to point out that Mary appears in Stare at Explosions- she's been added. Remember, you can edit your vote if you wanted to vote for her but couldn't.

Also, Arhra contributed the image for the suggestors!

And with 39 votes, the villain preliminaries are OVER! Barely any ties here. I'm proud of everyone but especially me- only a minor two-way tie and you know what, that's entirely understandable with lots of options and lots of votes. Let's not expect miracles here.

RESULTS:
In first place, ROKOA from ASTEROIDQUEST with 18 votes!

In second place, THE SUGGESTORS from EVERY QUEST EVER prove their nominator right by giving the joke option 17 votes! I'd keep pretending to be frustrated to sell the gimmick, but I'm as susceptible to the joke as the next rando.

In third place, Sevener from Unnatural Selection with 16 votes!

In fourth place, Deem from Dungeoneer with 14 votes! I'm starting to sense a trend in which villains people remember.

Or perhaps not- in fifth place stands the Vitruvian from The Vitruvian, with 13 votes!

In sixth place, Radula from Book of Worms earned 12 votes!

And finally tied for seventh place, Ava from 2Frames Quest and The Pilgrim from NanQuest!

As ever, thanks once again to our runners-up, their quest authors, and the nominations! Imperium from Salikai, My.a from Flockload of Problems, and Lak from Tobak Quest all got 10 votes each- I voted for all of them because I've got a weakness for bizarre mechanical types. And so I mourn. Vanski from Penn Quest, Lord Vackles from Fen Quest, and Rancid from You Lived all got 9 votes. Liminal from Catalyst, W2K from 30 Updates Or Less, Father Zozu from Asteroid Quest, and Cirr's recurring faction the Kiter Empire all got 8 votes. Rainer from Return to Sender and Jadis from You Died both got 7 votes. Mai Terrorscale from Lazy Fairy, Lord Lung from Chinzebeth, Kyaos from Journey Quest, Dog With a Gun from The Villains Win, the Xotl Dragonslayer from Bloom, and Tory Sinclair from Tory's Tower all got 6 votes. Farmer Sheppard from Perpetuity, Tsuki from Lucha Quest, and Jin-R from Last Trace got 5 votes apiece. The nameless dragoon mech pilot from Asteroid Quest, "Mary" from Stare at Explosions, and Svart from Plush Quest all got 4 votes. Crown from Lovers' Quarrel, Harold Qillig from Tozol Quest, Caevaexerin Brass from The God Damned, and Mimi from Plush Quest all come in at 3 votes. Virgil Moss from Team Port Echo, Typhon from Reformation, Kan from Salikai, Baron Obsidian from Earth Defense Force, and Xeno from System Boot Zero all got 2 votes. Sloane from Acid Soup, Rae's mom from Lazy Fairy, and Strfindent Wo-Mann from Financial Independence Quest each got 1 vote. Finally, and most puzzling, Nanko's mom from Acid Soup and David Bib from Financial Independence Quest got zero votes, not even their own nominator's. Such are the vagaries of the heart.

For now, find the semifinals HERE! Still no limit on how many you can pick until the finals, you can edit responses, etc. Responses are still limited to 1 per person so being signed into a Google account is required.

...Uh... if you'll reread the post Rokoa was technically not nominated. Out of fear of ROFLstomp which given she's in first was justified. So uh... how is this handled?

>The Suggestors
Fuck yes, of course we are! We're the advisors, generals, and researchers enabling these two-bit gangsters to become psychotic overlords!

>>140840
tbh I'd assume from votes if you hadn't mentioned her someone else would have

>>140705
Hey, these two weren't even included in the preliminaries.

With 36 votes, the villain semifinals are OVER! I've been heavily delayed by family events- birthday celebrations and scheduling started jerking me around for a while. Unfortunate! But I'm back now, and the issue's not going to repeat, so here's the

RESULTS:
In first place, THE SUGGESTORS from EVERY QUEST EVER with a massive lead of 21 votes!

In second place, THE VITRUVIAN from THE VITRUVIAN with 14 votes!

Tied for third place are ROKOA from ASTEROIDQUEST and RADULA from BOOK OF WORMS with 13 votes each!

As people have pointed out, I overlooked two nominations and misread a joke as a nomination! Also regrettable, but me having to manually find images for and enter dozens of nominations into the poll is why I remind people to poke me if I messed something up during the preliminaries- it's very easy for me to slip up. At this point I don't really want to redo two rounds of voting and the polls aren't exactly high-stakes official events, so I'm going ahead with this. My sincere apologies to Muschio and the Kariket.

For now, here's the finals! Same as ever, vote for one, one ballot only, log in to vote, votes editable, voting closes in three days!

With 21 votes, the villain poll is OVER!

In first place, a tie of 🥇👑THE SUGGESTORS👑🥇 from EVERY QUEST EVER and 🥇👑ROKOA👑🥇 from ASTEROIDQUEST! Please applaud yourselves and put your well-earned medal around your necks, everyone, we've earned it with our countless crimes.

In third place, 🥉RADULA🥉 from BOOK OF WORMS! One of my personal favorites, such a charming face.

In fourth place, 🎖️THE VITRUVIAN🎖️ from THE VITRUVIAN!

As ever, congrats to all finalists and thanks to everyone who participated!

Next month's theme is the spookiest Questden character! Nominate whoever your heart wishes. As usual, no gatekeeping as long as you don't commit a hate crime and they are a specific character who makes at least one canon appearance in a quest update on Questden.

>>140957
Radula is the true winner here, imo.

Honestly Alice is for testing my thesis that regeneration is a (narratively) awful superpower to have, in between the body horror and identity horror.

Also she eats people. That's spooky too.
