You've probably answered surveys in the past about
your favorite (and unfavorite) cards or what you consider
to be the most powerful/most useless cards in the game.
This contest is something of a popularity contest with
a twist you're going to select a card that you
think will be most unpopular for selection by
other entrants in the contest. Here's how it works:
Select the one personnel card which you think
will be selected by the smallest number of other contest
entrants. If there is more than one personnel card with
that exact name (e.g., there are three Deanna Troi cards,
from premiere, First Contact, and The Borg), you must
identify which set your selection comes from.
Your entry will be worth X points, where X = total
number of contest entries (including yours) that listed
that card. The entry with the lowest X score
will be the winner. So if the personnel card you choose
is also named by 9 other people, your score will be
10. If you manage to come up with a personnel card that
no one else selects, your score will be 1. In case of
a tie (everyone could get a score of 1!), one winner
will be selected at random. Remember, only one entry
per person.
The Winner
We received 702 entries. After eliminating 24 that
did not include an email address, 3 that did not list
a card title, 12 that were multiple entries from the
same entrant, and 12 that were not personnel cards (including
three votes for Barber Pole!), 651 valid entries remained.
Of these, 441 were for cards that received more than
one entry (X was greater than 1). Mot the Barber was
the runaway leader with 29 entries, with Wesley Crusher
a distant second with 11. But even such obscure personnel
as Makla'Gor got multiple entries (4 for that particular
Jem'Hadar).
That left 210 cards that were so unpopular (for this
contest, at least) that they received only one entry
each. A random selection gave the prize to Ryan Yaeger,
of Lacona, NY, whose entry was The Traveller.
