Choose wisely, Crawler. Your life depends on it.
Added 2021-11-30 15:08:37 +0000 UTCOkay, this one is a little different because you don't know wtf you're voting for. You're going to be presented with the same choice the crawlers will be given at the beginning of a future floor with the same information they're given.
You're presented with a political globe of earth with all the country lines/cities/etc as it appeared on the day of the collapse. You are told to choose a spot. It has to be on land, not water. It doesn't appear you can choose Antarctica, either or any other uninhabited place. You are given no additional information or hints as to what your choice means. The dot you place on the map is not super specific. Think of a regular-sized globe and a regular-sized pin.
You are with your current party, not your full guild. You are unable to communicate with anyone else.
The winning choice will spawn at least one additional poll with a more specific location or perhaps something else. Where do you choose?
Just so we're not bickering about locations and definitions, these top-tier suggestions are taken from https://www.internetworldstats.com/list1.htm Any questions about what specific country would fall where should refer to that page. The winning choice in this poll will spawn an additional poll with all the countries listed on that page. Depending on the country size, that winner *might* spawn another poll.
Choose wisely. Is it better to pick a familiar place? A wild location? A developed country? Of course it's a trap, but what kind of trap?
You HAVE been given hints, but they're in the text, not here. And they have not been recent.

2021-12-05 18:06:10 +0000 UTCOh father Matt; if Carrie man wins, please make do it a pirate princess, amen
Quinn Hamm
2021-12-05 18:04:45 +0000 UTCDonut is no pirate queen. She wants nothing to do with water so can man an island fort. Carl on the other hand is an MFing pirate to his core. With his nautical background and explosive skills he will rule the Caribbean.
2021-12-04 00:07:46 +0000 UTCThis looks like it's from book one where New Zealand got screwed with an airborne virus and it was announced they would be given another opportunity on a lower floor.
2021-12-03 22:14:33 +0000 UTCAussie Aussie Aussie!

2021-12-03 17:04:01 +0000 UTCChanged my vote to Austria. I want to see all the deadly stuff from down under in the dungeon.

2021-12-02 18:44:00 +0000 UTCSo many options
SWGEZTarget
2021-12-02 13:52:19 +0000 UTCNot sure what to pick, because I wanna see Carl-withou-pants drink vodka, while riding on bear in Siberia with singing Donut, lol Or upside-down people from Australia. Single country which lose war(with machine gun!) against it's own flora(birds) in real life

2021-12-01 23:44:36 +0000 UTCCarl and Donut do Paris!

2021-12-01 21:07:11 +0000 UTCWhat if its a race to get to the place they pick and you are droped on the opposite side of the world
Walt
2021-12-01 07:06:11 +0000 UTCI think it’s South America because there’s an ongoing mystery with the background of Lucia Mar, and an idea she might not be as irredeemably psycho as she appears.
2021-12-01 04:14:52 +0000 UTC"Your pluckiness has caused us to completely redesign the seventh floor. More on that later. Please note, however, if you go down within six hours of level collapse, you will not get a head start. You will, however, get good placement. If you go down too early, you will be placed at the back of the pack." I'm guessing only one party can pick each location, so going down the stairs earlier will let you pick before others as "good placement". It seems like the trap here is either picking populated places, undefensible locations, or resource deficient places.
2021-12-01 03:40:49 +0000 UTCI went Asia just for fun lol
Steven Chapman
2021-12-01 01:00:05 +0000 UTCI say North America because it makes most sense. If it's something that requires local knowledge, you might as well have the advantage. But you might want to pick the Caribbean because it's warm
daniel gonzalez
2021-11-30 22:09:39 +0000 UTCI choose Oceania because given how many death creatures are in Australia, you know the organizers will somehow pick it to kill more. Yes, I know new Zealand is part of Oceania and is relatively harmless.
Jacob Santos
2021-11-30 22:07:10 +0000 UTCI say eastern Europe. If it's 4x, then Constantinople/Istanbul is literally invaluable as a defensive/ resource/trade location. If it's mythology, then most of the local horrors can at least be bargained with.
Joe ?
2021-11-30 22:01:46 +0000 UTCIf it's for a floor (fighting to the death), I'mma go with the most defendable place possible with natural curves/hills to the terrain.
2021-11-30 21:45:59 +0000 UTCWell the bossifacation of former friends and lovers has to take place somewhere. I think our hero’s need a vacation. Hurricane force winds won’t bide well for our fluffy friend so islands, not so much. Giant bugs from jungles. Nope. Lamas? Not again. Monstrous lions of Africa? Too foreseeable. A city scape. High rise buildings would be a major change from 2D areas. Imagine Spider-Carl swinging building to building all while shouting, “God Dammit Donut!”
Will Mill
2021-11-30 19:35:30 +0000 UTCOkay, theory about what we're voting on here: With the showrunners trying to zero out the top 50 and replace everything to make it their own, plus the unusually high death toll thus far, I think they're trying to bring in new blood to keep the crawl alive with a limited time and location offer to the surface humans to enter the dungeon with extra bonuses. Every crawler gets to place a portal somewhere on the globe. This doesn't seem mean enough to be correct though.

2021-11-30 19:08:03 +0000 UTCThe environmental goose boss on the 5th floor was from the 7th floor. My guess is earth folklore from that region
Adam McGuire
2021-11-30 19:04:25 +0000 UTCIt's Africa. Picking anything else is just trying to be mean
Eric Price
2021-11-30 18:52:19 +0000 UTCSwitched my vote to Australia because everything is venomous there and hopping animals are awesome.

2021-11-30 18:29:32 +0000 UTCKangaroo vs. Mongo is a fight I really want to see now.
Bear C. Brown
2021-11-30 17:37:43 +0000 UTCThere were the gnomish drop bear planes in book 4.
Bear C. Brown
2021-11-30 17:31:32 +0000 UTCI know definitions were included, but I feel like more people would pick Oceania if it were labeled “Australia and friends”.
Bear C. Brown
2021-11-30 17:30:37 +0000 UTCPrompt mentioned no picking uninhabited areas - I’m think base-building or 4X or something. Oceania seemed isolated enough to not have tons of competition, but big enough that conquering all of it would be worthwhile, and have the respurces to start working on the rest of the world.
Alexander Pike
2021-11-30 17:25:00 +0000 UTCif i had to gues id say its a base builder. So i wuld chose something with a lot of resorces (Wood,Stone,Eiron) and somwthing to sell (Gems, Oil, etc.) I wuld go with Afrika, Asia or Europe.
Julian Hinck
2021-11-30 17:04:00 +0000 UTCWasn’t Beatrice vacationing in the Caribbean before the start of the books? Obviously she’s not there now, but that could be a hint.
2021-11-30 16:59:34 +0000 UTCDoes Hawaii count as Oceania? That's my pick!
loimprevisto
2021-11-30 16:59:02 +0000 UTCFunny how many chose Caribbean, I myself only chose it because I had to think about the movie and cause it's apparently a nice holiday spot XD. So, choosing a place through the eyes of someone of the people I'm watching to fighr and die(figuratively) muahaha, I already feel like one of those streaming spectators. Too bad we cannot bet on the outcome of who dies how and when, like they do.

2021-11-30 16:55:12 +0000 UTCpoint of order: The UK is, regrettably, no longer in the EU...
Douglas Fotheringham
2021-11-30 16:21:07 +0000 UTCI love this idea! Looking forward to the follow-up poll.
2021-11-30 16:14:42 +0000 UTCSince Borant seasons of Dungeoncrawler World are fantasy based, maybe region means which type of folklore monsters are based on? So Carribbean would mean voodoo monsters, etc…. If so, first choice EU, then second choice Romainia would mean vampires, which our two friends now are immune to… (at least the vampirism part, not the cunning, strength and celerity of course)
Frank Helle
2021-11-30 16:10:41 +0000 UTCIf you think I did any sort of research or rereading before full sending to Eastern Europe your wrong
NeWorlDark
2021-11-30 16:10:02 +0000 UTCEastern Europe for some vampireeeee action! Who wouldn't want that?!
Leon
2021-11-30 16:03:50 +0000 UTCMy vote is Oceania. Is it really a litrpg book if the protagonist hasn't faced a dropbear (aka koala)?
Larry Schultz
2021-11-30 15:55:10 +0000 UTCI see that my idea of the Caribbean is supported by the gang
Lion Heart
2021-11-30 15:54:55 +0000 UTCThat would be fantastic
2021-11-30 15:51:30 +0000 UTCMe personally I would choose North America. For Carl and donut South America or Africa would be cool. Plenty of natural predators to fuck with andddddd big cats for donut to see.
jason m
2021-11-30 15:48:44 +0000 UTCYup, choose somewhere else... either it gets blown to fk, or we get to visit somewhere new. Or option 3 given Karl's penchant to use explosives it gets blown to fk as we visit somewhere new
2021-11-30 15:43:03 +0000 UTCI think we'd be really bad crawlers and not at all as smart as Carl! Hints? Ha! :)
Kalliope
2021-11-30 15:35:34 +0000 UTCI'm choosing Oceania because that's where the town of Eromanga is.
Joan Estévez
2021-11-30 15:28:11 +0000 UTCOceania includes Australia. "Carl!" "Yes Donut?" "that dingo just tried to eat my baby Mongo! These dogs are even worse than cocker spaniels."
Robert Sutherland
2021-11-30 15:23:37 +0000 UTCOceania - I want to see Donut take down a kangaroo 🐱🆚🦘

2021-11-30 15:21:15 +0000 UTCWhat ever the case is don't choose your homeland cause you know they're gonna fuck everything up whichever we choose
Justus Saucedo
2021-11-30 15:18:20 +0000 UTCVote Caribbean and let's see a Pirate Queen Donut!!! Think of the possibilities: Treasure Maps. Bootlegging Rum Enterprise. Pirate Ships and island Exploration. Cannons for Carl to play with!!!! OP Kraken Boss Fight 2.0
2021-11-30 15:12:54 +0000 UTCYou’re no fun lol

2021-11-30 15:10:38 +0000 UTCAlso, if there's a goddamn tie I'm just going to choose one myself this time.
