Want to see the current standings without voting? Click here!
This is the complementary poll to that other poll 
Again, "Flint" is not included, as it's kinda unfair to compare it to the "regular" ES in my opinion.
There are 15 options - I'd recommend only voting if you've played through at least 2/3 of them

I'm voting, sadly, for Where You and I Must Go. I loved the first half of that story so much. I loved the terror and the tension and the companionship. I loved the eerie beauty of the wreck, and the lavishly detailed red scene. Unfortunately, after all of that, the second half, while by no means bad, felt like a little bit of a mood killer. By the time the story ended, all of the great fear and misery had dissipated, which was a bummer, for me. Keep in mind that "least favorite" here is a totally relative term, though, since I really liked this story. It's just the one that I really liked less than I really liked the others. ^_^

My least favorite ES was "Last Dog Society." I found "Last Dog Society" to be 1) too short; 2) lacking in any insights applicable to the main mysteries of FL, and 3) having as its climax a bafflingly cruel death. By the way, I have played all of the ES in the poll except for Calendar Code and Chimney Pot Wars. (And perhaps Discernment; could anyone refresh my recollection as to what that was about?)
EDIT (after realizing that I had failed to indicate which was my least favorite ES above).

I am saddened I cannot veiw the results without skewing them- next time can you add a "prefer not to disclose" or a similar option?
Why can't you? I can just log out and see them then. I assume that goes for everyone.
