A bare two-option poll is exactly the kind of forgettable form Subo is built to beat. This template does not stop at the vote: it asks members to defend their pick in one line, echoing their own choice back, then hands them a tier-list round. Passive voting becomes the discussion your server actually shows up for.
Run it whenever you want the room loud: the weekly “which is better” showdown, a fandom debate, best-map or best-character arguments, a good-natured food fight.
Turn a vote into takes
The versus vote is followed by a defend-your-choice question that quotes the pick straight back. The tier-list multi-select turns one prompt into a ranked S-tier leaderboard. Every option carries a meaningful emoji, so it scans fast and looks built.
The example is a pizza-versus-tacos showdown, universally recognizable and obviously swap-me. Change the matchup and it fits any community.
Variants
- Bracket series: run it weekly and ladder the winners into a season bracket.
- Gamer reskin: character, weapon, or map showdowns with the same structure.
- Full tier list: add a multi-select per tier for a complete S / A / B ranking.
- Anonymous hot takes: switch to anonymous so people defend spicy picks without a name attached.
