I was intrigued by the original "who would you trust more?" poll by @the-unflappablewolf, attached for posterity.

I was curious to know whether this result was an indicator that Star Trek imbued the most trustworthiness, so I did a survey. I've turned the responses into a 32-team tournament, with the top responses from the survey randomised into pairs for round 1. Winners will use votes from both Mastodon and Tumblr, summarised here: https://cassolotl.tumblr.com/post/809931792568188928/shirt-tournament

They are hard to compare to each other. But the poll is about *trust*, so for me, being familiar with both, the answer is clearly RR.

Impossible choice! šŸ«£

Also, somehow I missed THIS ENTIRE EVENT, but going through the thread, I agreed with most of the choices.

Iā€™m hoping I can play for the rest of the tournament! šŸ˜ƒ

I fear there are those who loved RATM without understanding them that would wear Discworld because it sounded cool, long before they would wear a rainbow that involved reading.
