Congratulations to Chaos and Wolf, the newest inductees into the Singles Wing of the CotG HOF. Artist Werner Mueck has been commissioned to draw their Statues in the CotG HOF Induction Gallery. If you have any creative suggestions for the statues (a specific pose, important prop, etc.) feel free to post said idea here in this thread. If you feel more comfortable you could also send your suggestion to me in a PM.

Final decisions on the artwork will be made Monday morning June 9th.

Wow, very close for Wolf! I'm glad he's in. Love to see the Chaos statue similar to his first SE pic.

For Wolf...I would suggest something "leap-y".

For Chaos...tall with arms akimbo.

Really surprised Omega didn't make it.

Omega seemed to be on course for induction during the first two weeks but then completely fell off toward the end. Among those who I know have had exposure to the EC/Classics he tends to poll strong...but on a broader basis among those more familiar with him from 2087 onward his support thins out. Next year will be interesting because he'll not only be coming in with the highest near miss percentage of any candidate, but he may also have the benefit of additional 'prime era' career exposure to the extent CotG Online releases Classics in some form. I suspect that any degree to which younger Omega can be used on something like the PBP Sim can only serve to further help his candidacy.

Wolf was on the bubble the entire voting cycle and just barely got in on the skin of his teeth. On the last day of polling it could easily have gone the other way. The community seems to have a 'love/hate' dynamic toward his character. Last year he barely survived the 5 Year Inactivity poll which secured him a return to the ballot...and now he 'just' makes good on Induction. It seems fitting that he goes in with a great deal of controversy and drama.

Chaos polled strong from beginning to end. He wasn't a Thantos or Star Warrior level breakout candidate, but he was the clear front runner throughout. He definitely earned his spot.

The biggest upward surge from last year was Thunder who moved from 12.7% to 38.5%. Spike (33.3% to 45.6%) and Matador (27% to 40.3%) are also rising candidacies to keep an eye on next year.

I would recommend something with the claw prominent...I mean, this is Wolf...his SAVAGE FACE CLAW is as legendary as he is.

Thank you for all of your public and private suggestions. All ideas have been taken into consideration. An announcement will be made when the CotG HOF Induction Statues are ready for release.
