Well done. Well done indeed. Yeah. Yeah. So what do you think about this? Is that sort of what you expected to see? Any big surprises there for you? Anything that you're surprised isn't on there?

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Whether that's sort of like an IP that you've licensed or one that you built yourself.

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Whether that's sort of like an IP that you've licensed or one that you built yourself.

Like MacHulk with NTDM, of course, has built that brand up himself. Whereas obviously Cosmere is licensing the brand from Brandon Sanderson.

Yes. But yeah, no, I thought Starfinder would be a little higher in the list. That was my one surprise. I didn't think it would be number one, but I thought it would be a little higher in the list. So, you know, Pfizer's popular and big and Starfinder's cool.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Part of it, there's an element of how much did publishers get their fans mobilised to vote as well. I mean... I know that if you look on that City of the Mist, what was it? Legend of the Mist Kickstarter, they put out an update asking fans to vote. And I know the Brandon Sanderson folks, who was producing that again? I forget.

uh wise games yeah um they i i know at least i saw some social media stuff from them asking people to vote i don't know if they did anything else so it is a little bit there's an element of like mobilizing your fans to vote which how many how many people did vote uh i don't know exactly but thousands thousands wow i couldn't tell you i could do offhand though no that's fine and and like was it close or is it just like and son of oak is just like miles ahead of everyone else or um

I don't think there was any super, there was like a reasonable spacing going down the top 10. Yeah, I don't think there was any sort of like, if it had been another day, that would have been a different list type things. Okay.

Yeah. But I generally find whenever you get a big poll like this, and it can last two weeks or a month or whatever, once you've gone past the first day, it doesn't really change. Like the numbers go up, but the numbers all go up proportionally the same amount. And that I tend to find, it's like with Kickstarters, you can predict how it's going to do from its first day.

And these things just don't really change. So a lot of these things, you could just do a one-day poll. And to be honest, if you do a 30-day poll, you get pretty much the same results, just with bigger numbers. Because proportionally, they all go up the same amount. So anyway, things that I've observed over the years. Well, why representative samples work, though, because you see it in live action.
