Do I have to have 10 candidates?
If not, I'll do it.

So can we list our suggestions here? Or do we PM them to you? Or do we wait for you to PM us? I'll list my 4 wherever.

OK, I've got 21 so we can start now. I will make the ballot and then PM them out. So can we list our suggestions here? Or do we PM them to you? Or do we wait for you to PM us? I'll list my 4 wherever. I will PM them and then you PM me back with your choices.

After double and triple checking the ballots, I can announce that the first class of 1950 has been inducted. Seven of the 25 characters on the ballot have been elected. They are:
-Mickey Mouse: Arguably the first widely mass-marketed cartoon. One of the most recognizable names in the world and face of the largest animation company.
-Betty Boop: First sex symbol in ink. Constantly revived and still voiced to this day.
-Popeye: One of the first cartoon characters to have a real human personality. One of the first cartoons to be put into live action.
-Felix the Cat: One of the first characters to be merchandised. Has been rebooted with great success many times.
-Porky Pig: Warner Brothers first big hit. Unique voice helped propel popularity. Closing phrase, "That's All Folks!" known all over the world.
-Donald Duck: Hot tempered friend of Mickey Mouse was first popular sidekick to stand out.
-Goofy: Early slapstick character. Known for his comedically based performances and general stupidity.
Here were the ballot results in full. Bold means elected with at least 75%:
Mickey Mouse: 100% Felix the Cat: 95.2% Donald Duck: 85.7% Popeye: 85.7% Goofy: 80.9% Betty Boop: 80.9% Porky Pig: 80.9% Minnie Mouse: 42.8% Bluto: 38% Oswald, the Lucky Rabbit: 33.3% Gertie the Dinosaur: 28.5% Olive Oyl: 28.5% Bosko: 28.5% Koko the Clown: 19% Little Nemo: 14.2% Big Bad Wolf: 9.5% Buddy: 4.7% Clarabelle Cow: 4.7% Prince Achmed: 0% Practical Pig: 0% Fiddler Pig: 0% Fifer Pig: 0% Beans the Cat: 0% Horace Horsecollar: 0% Clara Cluck: 0%

What point, if any, does a nomination get kicked off the ballot for something else? Is it sub-5% (similar to the baseball HOF) or lower, and if so, do they get added back on the ballot eventually or just get kicked off?
Like, right now for it- the seeming "bare minimum from the 1950 ballot that'd be likely knocked off anyway would be the ones that got 0% and had no one vote for them- with a question of the three that got less than 1% on the bubble right now (and given there was only 21 ballots, they'd theoretically be safe until there's more people on the ballot (so right now, in theory: Prince Achmed, Practical Pig, Fiddler Pig, Fifer Pig, Beans the Cat, Horace Horsecollar, and Clara Cluck would all be sure-fire eliminations from the ballot, with Clarabelle Cow, Buddy, and the Big Bad Wolf on the bubble and/or reprieved for the 1951 ballot- with everything else getting far more than 5% of the ballot and being safe.)

Three straight ballots with 5% or lowers will result in them being kicked off and then being placed on a Veterans ballot.

Mickey with 100%! Can anyone else do that? I know- this is a problem for future votes. I mean, how can one of us say "Well, Mickey Mouse didn't get 100% of the ballot so that means that no character should ever ever ever get 100% of the ballot!" if Mickey Mouse got 100%?
