yet, the Poles were very low on the vote, until lod made the page linked above

But have in mind that noone is forced to vote. They want to vote.

noone said the opposite

Mark, I agree.
And because of the LoD's page, many polish civ fans learned about poll.
Nowadays information is a power.

Ok, maybe LoD should encourage them in a less specific way...
You know, Poles are spontaneous and eager to make spectacular shows (this thread is an example).

Poles 20

I think Poles may have "interesting" parameters, like "not expansionistic, not scientific, loosing their own Empire in less than 100 years" but when conquered "generating plenty of guerillas and other red colour soldiers"

I see no reason why more then 300 posts should result in closing the thread.

Judging from posts after yours, it would seem that many people already can't find some posts.The best thing about a thread is it's clarity/accessibility.I hardly think this is the case any longer, unfortunately.In my case, there are times I don't come to these forums for days.In the current pace it means 2-4 pages I could't read.Going there is a bit time consuming.I'm suggesting this only since it's rather commonplace in other forums, additionaly some people might have problems with it,people that don't want to jump to the last page or aren't extremely familiar with Internet.
Still it remains only a suggestion.

Btw, if the new rules aren't accepted I want to make some modifications to my votes:

1. Mongols -20=0
2. Spanish -20 =0
3. Arabs -20 =0
4. Byzantines 20 =20
5. Hebrew/Israelis -20 =0
6. Koreans -20 =0
7. Zimbambuans -20=0
8. Aborigines -20 =0

MarkG:

a) i used the word "ask"

Actually, you used the prasal verb "ask to".

b) i dont think you consider locutus stupid enough to count a vote for "Blinbas" and "Blablus"

No, I don't think so. Neither do I think you are not intelligent enough to realize that it was only an example used to illustrate my point.

c) the idea of this vote is for each voter to suggest the civilizations that should be in a expasion pack. notice that i use the word "civilizations" and not "civilization"

Thank you for finally making your point. I will edit the page in question adding the concept you mentioned plus maybe a 'dictionary' of civs.

MarkG and JellyDonut: Since I'm writing this for the second time allow me to put it in caps and boldtype so you don't miss the following: I HAVE EXPLAINED THE CONTENT OF THE PAGE IN QUESTION TO LOCUTUS IN TWO POSTS IN PAGES 10 AND 11 OF THIS THREAD. And may I remind you, that it is in accordance to savoir-vivre (or netiquette in this particular case) to acquire the knowledge of what was said in the discussion before voicing ones opinion. By the way, the links to those posts: here and here .

I sincerely hope this will explain everything.

(edit): I have allowed myself to ignore those posts which opened subject I have already dicussed and closed. This includes those by Solmyr and orange.

1) you must give all your points
2) you must vote at least 8 civs
3) at least 4 of your votes must be a 20 or all must be 10

Rules one and two are redundant. If you use all your points, you Have to vote for at least 8 civs. As for rule 3, what purpose does it serve? What if I want to vote 20, 19, 18, 17 etc?

At this rate, we only need one rule:

You must give all your points
or maybe
You must give at least 120 points.

and you can also add a second one:

Only Chieftain and Up can vote.

That is against the Forum rules, No one should be locked out for a thread because of low post count.

I believe that vote on alt least 8 civs is relevant, but if someone miscount its votes and miss 5 points I think it should be okay to do so therefor I suggest a You must give at least 150 out of 160 points

[Mankind]

...And if someone don't want to vote for any other civ? where is democracy?

I don't say "vote for one civ"

I say "vote for that civ(s) that you want to be in expansion pack"

[Staszek]

Calm down, everybody!

1. Let's wait for Locutus opinion. He's the boss here.
2. Please think twice before posting ideas like "Only Chieftain and Up can vote". You can post hudreds of post in all different spam threads not discussing anything in particular. You can even vote 32 civs x 5 points in separate posts - see how easy it is to get to Warlord? It is not the point.
3. I regret that Poles are so organised and this is so shocking to everybody.
4. I am happy because that means we will have very successful Polish forums when the game finally appears in the shops.

[ranskaldan]

Okay, I'm sorry about the "Only Chieftain and Up can vote", i'm just taking it from some suggestions offered by others.

Thus we only need one rule:

You must use at least 120 points.

...And if someone don't want to vote for any other civ? where is democracy?

In order to prevent such unfair incidents from happening, we have to have this rule. It is unfair to rally Poles, who have never been to Apolyton before, to vote "poles 20" all together. If you want this to be fair, then we should do this for every single civ on the list, not just Poles.

[LoD]

Argghhh... no one rallied anyone here. For Heaven's sake, read before you write.
