Hello, 'Shroom readers! Or people who aren't 'Shroom readers if you clicked on this thread out of curiosity! Welcome to my thread for my new section, Mach Speed Mayhem, where I intend to discuss each F-Zero character until I run out of them!

Q: Do you need a thread for this when you don't for interviews?
A: Yes I do. The reason is because this section features fan participation! There's 47 F-Zero characters for me to discuss assuming we never get a new F-Zero, and I'd have trouble picking them in an interesting order - I might as well roll dice. So, instead, you guys are going to decide the order I write them in!

Q: How, exactly?
A: That's what this thread is for. Every time I post a new section, you can post in this thread and tell me who you want me to discuss for the next section (update: or tell me elsewhere, and I'll keep track in the thread!). Nominations will be open until two weeks before the release of the next issue (gives me a week to write it, which is more than enough), a date I'll make sure to include in the thread. Once they've closed, I'll pick whoever got the most support for discussion! If there's a tie, I'll do a super quick tiebreaker vote with tied characters; if nobody nominates then I'll just RNG from everyone left and feel sad.

Q: Sounds neat! Do I get to pick right away?
A: No, not yet. In order to really get a feel for this section and show you guys how I'm doing it, the October 2018 and November 2018 sections will be pre-decided characters, with December 2018 being the first character picked by readers. Additionally, if I have a fitting character for a special issue who hasn't been done yet, I'll go ahead and lock them in myself - although of course I'd tell you guys ahead of time about that.

Q: So how am I supposed to keep track of everyone who's been done so far?
A: Great question, hypothetical reader! Part of the purpose of this post is to track who I have and haven't done, to make it easier for anyone who wishes to participate. I'm including a chart I'll update with each section to cross out who I've done as I go - eventually it'll all be covered in Xs, and then the section will be over... but not for four years, so I'm good for a while. I'm also including a list of names and vehicle numbers you can crossreference so you don't have to try to remember or guess at the names. Just open the list (which is divided by rows and goes in left to right top to bottom order) and you can go "ah yes the first person in the chart is Captain Falcon"! The thread also includes a list of past sections, so that you can check back and read what I've written in the past!

Issue 140 is out, featuring everyone's favorite bounty hunter samurai! Unless you're Falcon.

More importantly, this means Mach Speed Mayhem candidate voting is open! If you want to vote, just put down in this thread which of the 44 remaining choices you want to see featured in Issue 141 next month. Don't need a reason, don't need a writeup, it's as simple as putting down Captain Falcon and that's it!

Voting will close on December 8th, and that's when I'll start doing my writeup!
 
Since there's one week to go before I lock the poll, thought I'd sum up every vote so far.

#25: Blood Falcon - 3 votes
#17: Antonio Guster - 1 vote
#02: Jody Summer - 1 vote
#33: Dai San Gen - 1 vote
#10: James McCloud - 1 vote
#16: The Skull - 1 vote
#19: Leon - 1 vote
#09: Mr. EAD - 1 vote

Don't forget you can change your vote if you want to, and in one week it'll finalize who I write about for December!
