Take My Wonder, please.

[IamSlowwHand]

Ok, we just wrapped up a Thanksgiving
"Thanks For The Wonder" vote.
Mich's Chapel was the close winner.

Now, how about a vote for most worthless Wonder?

We'll end the voting next Friday, and I'll post the "Loser" Saturday morning.

As in last, send me a private message.

[Chuckles39]

i actually voted this time, but i choose two, i can't decide which is more worthless...

the first one gets 51% the second 48%...1% every other wonder...

[IamSlowwHand]

Votes were in the ballot box this morning to greet me.
This will be as varied as choosing 1 Wonder to build.
Tough Choice, yeah I know.
Questions to make one think. lol

Chuck, you have 2 that will be hard to decide between.

[Curumbor Elendil]

Um, the vote should be 100% on the winner. There's one wonder that's completely useless in Multiplayer.

Or are we not just voting on the basis of Multiplay?

Has to be ( ). Even by Florida voting standards...

However, it is a little-known fact that there is an undocumented Wonder. I would have voted for if not for the fact that no one else is aware of it. Lost in a software glitch is the "Jolly Green Giant" Wonder. The JGG allows the posessor to see 6 squares in any direction (due to height) and grow all the Brussels Sprouts that the population will eat (because he has a perverse sense of humor).

Unfortunately, the JGG is a single-city Wonder and the distance-seeing is therefore of very limited value. Furthermore, you just can't get most Civs to eat any useful amount of Brussels Sprouts, even when the alternative is starvation.

So, while I think the JGG is obviously the worst Wonder, I will choose to punch my butterfly ballot for a candidate ( ) with a meaningful chance of winning.

Assume a King level multiplayer game.

Assume multiplayer Wonders only.
Eiffel Tower, and any other attitude adjustors should not ne considered.
These, as a for instance, only are relevant against A.I.

I'm talking Wonders one would actually consider, in a multiplayer king game.

Now, we're ready.

If you've voted already for such a Wonder, send me new vote.

Surprising to me, the vote for Worst Wonder is starting out more varied than the vote for 1 Wonder Only.

I'm not surprised. Take out the Tower, and the other Wonders all have some sort of use. It will boil down, as always, to reflections of playing styles.

Surprising to me, the vote for Worst Wonder is starting out more varied than the vote for 1 Wonder Only.

Voting will continue through the week, and I'll post Loser on Saturday the 9th.

[IamSlowwHand]

What I envision is coming up with the composite "Millenium Civ Player".

After this vote tallies, we'll return to the
1 Wonder Only.
We've had the primaries where any could be nominated, now we'll have general election.

Representing the Dove Party will be Mich's Chapel.
For the Hawk Party, it will be Leo's Workshop.
The independant party nominates Adam Smith's.

We will then have general election from this primary.
After that, we'll see.

Keep the votes coming.
We need an accurate profile of a modern day Civ player.

Which way will the hanging chads drop? More to the point, will someone who doesn't like the result take legal action?
