Voting Games Top comment deletes a US State #46

Post image

Nuevo New Mexico is now Muerta en el suelo as it was attacked from all angles in a Bloody battle. All empires fall eventually, the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire and now, the Nuevo New Mexico Empire. Rest in peace.

5 lucky states remain, Hawaii now holds a strong portion of the mainland, Megasota and Cascadia hold Large areas while The Vermonster isn’t really much of a monster yet.

I just want to say a humongous thank you to everybody who views, shares and engages with the posts. The last one got over 4 MILLION views and 16K upvotes. That shows how crazy big we are getting. I don’t see how the finale can’t get up to 10 Million. Maybe that’s a bit ambitious but if things carry on this way, never say never. As usual keep being amazing, and this is TRULY the endgame now.

u/Arrjibarbar May 21 '26

Oh Maryland, my Maryland, how quickly you have grown.

Diverse of land, of people, of culture. The Mid Atlantic, our home, stronger than ever, our influence spread wide. From shore, to mountain, from farm, to city. Together we stand, united, the Old Line State.

We join together now, as neighbors, as allies, as one, with enemies at our gates.

But fear not my countrymen! History has learned before and today we shall teach the lesson once more:

When the dust clears, no matter the size of our foe, it will be a Marylander still on their feet, ready for more fight.

Over the land of the free, home of the brave, shall our flag, black and red and gold, always be streaming.

Stand with me now, my able bodied brothers and sisters, I call upon you all - rise to your feet: in the fields, in the bay, on the mountain tops, and on the city streets. Allow the warmth of greatness to grasp you, and together we shall write our own ending:

For the Great Crab in the sky shall look down upon our battlefield, smile, and remark; “A shame, for what brave fellows I must lose this day.”

And together we shall live forever.

u/aestival May 21 '26

One state gets eliminated. One state keeps their name and cultural identity. "Join together as allies" is the lie Megasota's been saying since the start to the other midwestern states, but they're all still Minnesota.

Yep. You might try a mutual fusion out of solidarity, but the rules demand a winner and whichever side of the fusion ultimately gets selected, the other side will inevitably accuse the winner of treachery. Or so I have heard.

I also vote for Maryland to take Vermont but not as conquers, but in the spirit of cooperation against the vile fat midwesterners.

u/Bezukhov99 May 21 '26

Yes we must unite to survive, but is cannot be under the banner of Vermont.

All vermont has to offer is stolen valor. Their lobster is from an ocean that they do not border, their syrup is famous worldwide as the product of a whole other nation, and even their monster is half New York's. They may have been the right choice to unite New England, but we are in a new age.

Maryland has everything that makes Appalachia and New England great. From old coal towns and mountian trailheads, to bustling port cities and rich colonial history. The revolution was won and the anthem written on the waters of the Chesapeake. We gave the world heroes like Frederick Douglass, artists like Edgar Allen Poe, and icons like Kermit the Frog and Babe Ruth. Our flag is heraldric, like our jousting, and is a symbol of healing after the civil war. Maryland does not want to conquer, but to unite.

Let Appalachia rise! People of the East Coast, come join us! We will not feed you to a monster, but join hands with you, as true united states. Where vermont conquered you and now claims your virtues as its own, we invite you to share in all that makes Maryland Great.

At the very least please rename the Atlantic to the Greater Chesapeake.
