This was vote nr 150 (on September 23th). The user is from Poland, he registered in September 2001 and this is his only post in the Apolyton forums so far. However, he seems to have grasped the idea of this poll: name at least 8 civs that you would like to see in an expansion pack.

Too bad someone figured out afterwards that it was not formally forbidden just to post 'Poles - 20' ...

How about asking Firaxis to make a special Polish edition where you can play Poles - and only Poles!
etc.

i can't wait to see what will happen when Mankind and LoD see this.

I'm telling you...

go recruit a ****load of friends to sign up at 'poly and post 20 points for Eskimo, just to piss 'em off

[bogi]

All my votes go for Poland.

O.K. guys, if you want to change the rules, change them but for an upcoming expansion civs poll ( that would be part 4 ), not in the midst of an existing one. And it's to Locutus to close this one (or not) BEFORE. one man, one vote by the SAME rules . Would you really like to see the gameplay rules of your precious civ game be drastically changed by the AI or the server around 1000 A.D.?

In the NEXT survey like this, my suggestion should be : keep the max 20 points per civ/ 160 total, and:

- you must vote for 16 CIVS, no more no less
-you must use all of the 160 points in a single post
-I agree with at least 4 civs, 20 points each, but no more than 6
-at least one civ for each continent ( Europe,Americas,Africa,Asia,Australia/Pacific )
-if voting for a fictive civ or inexistent, or non-widely recognized tribe , then you must justify your choice with at least 25 words to be approved by the thread starter ( a sci-fi space empire, even the Neanderthals ).

Of course my own votes here, like yours, didn't respected these ideas - but I wish we'll all vote again in a more defined thread in the light of the problems exposed in the last pages of this one....

Marcus - I understand what you're trying to do...and I support a new thread that can hold its respectability (especially when the thread creater has been doing EVERYONE a favor and a damn good job at that)...

...but I think those rules are a bit strict. 16 civs? One from each continent?

I'd like to start a new thread, same idea, only you have to be a chief or above to post, and you must use all your points (20 max per civ) to clean things up. But I'm afraid it would be closed as a "copy cat" thread. I don't know if Mark would let it go or not. I PMed him about this problem, he didn't respond, though he has made his presence known in the thread.

It was the italics, wasn't it?

Ah, **** it!

Master Marcus,

the suggested new rules are just describing what everyone was doing(using all their points, giving several civs 20 points) until lod started his "patriotic campaign"
they are defining the vote not changing it's rules

I'm sure with so many organized civ'ers in Poland, this will be a big success.

Wait a minute... why not make it a game where every organized Polish player can play Poland in multiplayer in the very organized Polish forums. 16 Polish players playing Poland in one game, imagine that!! Sold out in the first week in Poland.

And of course it will all have to be translated into Polish because most Polish players don't speak English!

And maybe it will be a problem for most Polish players to do more than one move in multiplayer because most of them have sooo bad connections. But of course they will still play.

Soon we will see (organized) riots in Poland because not everybody can start their game Poland. Whereafter the Polish government will have to ask Firaxis to remake the world map into one big map of Poland.

The world will be a better (and more organized) place!

Now thats a STUPIDEST post in this hole thread IMHO

If you wan't to make stupid ideas like that beter go do something productive, go read a book!

[Mankind]

And goes out on this that by this you showed which one are on truth, jealous, malicious ; my comment is surely superfluous

and " " in the post Is not for me explanation that this was a joke [if it was]

Now thats a bryliant idea! Let us all start a new threads!

everyone will be voting on the rules he like's best and You even can boost your "apolyton rating"

and the best about it is this We'll be voting and expansion pack would be already in sale and we all time would quarrel and voted
and voted again....

[note: that this was 160% joke ]

[Mankind]

I found Fiil's post very, very funny. Such posts help to start the day.
By the way, it will be true if you rename Poles with any other nationality

I think the main problem people have with the "Polish deluge" is that first, it is puts the whole thing completely out of proportion. And secondly, judging from that page made by LoD, he simply tells people in mechanical terms which buttons they need to click and what they need to type to make a "Poles 20" post - they don't even read the thread to clearly understand what it is about.
