    Voting

    Every 1st day of the month we will start voting for the best players in 3 categories during the last month.

    We vote in 3 categories:
    1. story telling
    2. diplomacy
    3. military strategy

    We send in a top-3 list for every category.

    Story telling is about submitting interesting stories to the story thread in any format.

    Diplomacy is about being able to reach your goals through diplomacy in any way.

    Military strategy is about making very tactical strategical moves and decisions. (make sure you post evidence about this in the story thread!)
    NB: this category isn't meant only for the war-winners. Someone can lose a war because he's a weaker player, but made some brilliant moves. In this thread we can award him for that. The game-scorelist will reward players for winning wars.

    Every player is free to pick 3 players in every category. No more! Less (or none) is possible if you can't choose. It would be cool if you could include reasons for the vote.

    Rules for voting:
    1. send them in before the 4th of the month!
    2. votes send in after the 4th of the month do not count
    3. players who didn't vote for a specific month will not gain vote-points for that specific month
    4. voting happens through the anonymous mail address
    5. votes stay unknown till the end of the game (to avoid political votes)
    6. votes are being send to vote@diplo.plomp.eu or votes@diplo.plomp.eu
    vote@diplo.plomp.eu.test-google-a.com also works.
    7. The mail subject includes "votes round x"
    8. You can't vote for yourself
    9. The vote-mailbox that receives all votes will remain closed till the game has been finished. Then we will all receive the password and be able to read/count the votes and read the comments.

    The #1 in each category earn 3 points, #2 earns 2 points, #3 earns 1 point.

    This will result in 4 scorelists (3 above mentioned categories + the gamescore list)

    All players will receive points for their position in all of these 4 lists. 18 points for the #1's, 17 points for the #2's, ...... 1 point for the #18's

    The sum of these points tells us who won this game.

    Conclusion, the winner is determined by:
    25% gamescore
    25% story telling
    25% diplomacy
    25% military strategy

    ----------------------------------

    Rules:

    - 15 tech trade rule
    Every civilization in this game is allowed to trade away 15 techs. It is also allowed to trade away the right to trade a tech to another civilization.
    It matters not what the away trading civilization gets in return. It matters not if it is a small technology (ie. fishing) or a big technology (ie. Fusion).

    If civ A trades Philosophy to civ B which returns both Monotheism and Masonry, then Civ A loses 1 right to trade a tech away (tech voucher) and Civ B loses 2 rights to trade a tech away (2 tech vouchers).

    If Player A trades away Philosophy to civ B which returns the right to trade away a tech, then Civ 1 loses and wins 1 tech voucher (thus: the nr of techs he can trade away remains the same) while Civ B loses 1 right to trade away a tech.

    If Civ A gives Theology to Civ B, then Civ A loses 1 right to trade away a tech (loses 1 tech voucher).

    - 6 hours time between moving during war-time
    Civilizations that are at war have to wait 6 hours after the new turn started after their last move. When all opponents have moved before those 6 hours have passed the player can move as again well.

    Thus, a civ at war can move after:
    - 6 hours have passed since the new turn started after his last move
    - all his opponents have moved after his last move

    --------------------------
    If any civilization violetes these rules the game will be paused and the concequences will be decided.
    If damage has been done then the game will be reloaded back to the last available save on the Pitboss Server. The Pitboss Server saves every turn and keeps all saves till the game has finished.

    Possible penalties, besides loading the last save are:
    - removing all or a % of the votes the violator receives in a certain month or all months in a certain category or all categories
    - The loss of tech vouchers (a few or all)
    - removed from the game
    - a warning

    This depends on the seriousness of the violation, which is not only determined by the damage being done but also by the reasons and attitude of the violater.'

      @ CS

      On the 14th you said .

      LAST day to Vote for August!
      CS i have a question, why have i been given 17 points for score, when on the day of the final vote the 14th i was still 1st. Starting the 17th i slaved some cities knowing that the score votes would be in with the rest votes the 14th.

      If you had said the score votes will be considered to a later date i could have easilly kept my 1st rank.

      Please fix this.

        Cyber...I did vote! I even posted that I did so in this VERY thread. Remember: I sent it to you via PM and you posted back (in this thread) that you received my vote but would prefer not receiving it via PM.

        I wonder why I even bother to cast a vote if it is just going to be ignored.

          I don't understand how only a third of the players voted on the rule. Can somebody please explain the reasoning behind voting for everything BUT the rule?

            If I were a guessing man I would say not may people care about the rule.

              The in game pts score should be as of the last day of previous month not end of voting.

              Is this correct Cyber.

              As all other votes were fro things that occur from 1st of month till end of month, surely score must be at end of month.

                You mean Aug 31st?, if so pls CS check your save and see who what rank was.

                Thank you

                  But you might as well vote, even if you don't care that much.

                      I meant "you" generally speaking, not you personally.

                          @Portugal: the score-points of only the final score do really matter. I include the 'current' vote just only to give an idea how everyone is doing.

                          Sure I can take the last of the month score next time, fine with me. But nobody gets points for being #1 in the score list at some moment in the game. What counts is you final position in the score-list. (like only your final position in the story-list counts).

                          @Natives: I found your votes. they were indeed in my pm folder. Apparently I've never forwarded them to the vote mailbox, or they never arrived b/c of the problems.
                          No need to worrie about not voting, just check me everytime and I will surely correct my score.

                          It's too late to fix things right now, I'll do it tomorrow and post a corrected score-list.

                            I think they would have said something to the effect of "ROMA VICTOR!" or "ROMA VICTORIA!"
