THE CAKE IS A LEAD?! GLaDOS Takes Early Control of the Top 10 NPC War as Alyx Vance Gives Chase

Players, the lobby is OPEN. A brand-new opinion market on Morfi asks the question that has wrecked more group chats than any patch note: who makes the Top 10 NPCs in video games? Story impact. Writing. Presence. The whole package. And just hours in, one voice is already purring over the PA system.

Of course it's GLaDOS. The passive-aggressive AI from Portal sits on top at 27% consensus with 4 holders. Neurotoxin? Optional. Domination? Apparently included. Did anyone seriously think she'd let someone else run this test chamber?

But hold up. Right behind her is Alyx Vance, Half-Life's resistance legend, at 18% consensus with 4 holders. That's a Valve Corporation civil war on the front page, folks. The sarcastic supervillain against the sidekick everybody wished was the main character. Which one's the real final boss?

And the rest of the roster isn't just standing in the spawn room. Also on the ballot: 6 other sides. So far 12 traders have put $165,582 behind their picks, and trading opened less than a day ago. That's the tutorial level. My take, and it's only a take: a lead this early is a speedrun split, not a world record.

Think GLaDOS is overrated? Think your fave got snubbed? Stop yelling at the screen and do something about it. These are live opinion markets on Morfi, where people put real money behind their takes. Join the market, back your NPC, and help write the leaderboard. Ready player one?
