DAX024: Round Table Discussion: Adding and removing characters? More character polls?

Hello Diamond Hard Patrons!

The results for the first character poll were exciting to see. We know that Riley is the most popular character, and Lupe and Sven are not too far behind, that is pretty clear! What is also clear is that there are some characters that were not too popular, namely Trav, and Riccardo.

It is quite early in the game, and Trav and Riccardo have lots of potential for their storylines, so I am still giving them a chance. I do wonder, after more polls, if these characters continue to do poorly, if they should leave the island, and other characters, such as the Surfer, can take their place.

Other ideas could be to make a poll for an antagonist character, or to just keep them as background characters that might occasionally remark.

I will still hold another poll for who the second character Dax meets. And I am quite certain that Lupe and Sven will be in the top again, which I think is great. A part of me does think, since the polls are pretty clear now, should I just automatically make Lupe the second, and Sven the third? Or continue with the poll as always, to give other characters their chance?

These are just ideas, so let me know your thoughts. Maybe another poll could be held depending on the discussion here. Thanks again for participating in Tropical Storm Dax!
