it simply makes no sense to have a voting system. otms would return to only winning because they were popular characters or rped by a popular user.

On top of what Hexict said, the only reason high ranks were picked because they were good characters - the reason they were chosen for both things.

I hadd an ok HR Wheatfur, and i did not get an OTM month because there were better characters, even though one person voted for him.
