[Locutus]

Ranking updated, up to Mars. 179 valid votes casted, 27938 points (= 97.5% of total possible). The Excel sheet is of course also updated. Due to the Polish invasion discussion a large part of the old thread was rather chaotic, I hope I didn't overlook anything.

Here's another list of (20) people whose votes are invalid under the new rules:

lukaski (only 1 civ, 20 points)
OneFootInTheGrave (only 5 civs)
groza1 (only 3 civs, 60 points)
Goomich (only 1 civ, 20 points)
hewhocaves (only 3 civs, 60 points)
Dessloch (only 3 civs, 50 points)
Tomasz Wysocki (1 civ, 20 points)
jigit (only 2 civs, 35 points)
Kamasz (only 1 civ, 20 points)
Cantonek (only 1 civ, 20 points)
lhaydi (only 1 civ, 20 points)
pmajewski (only 1 civ, 20 points)
Rafal (only 1 civ, 20 points)
Darek87 (only 1 civ, 20 points)
Ctty (only 45 points)
vonholl (only 2 civs, 40 points)
valdi77 (only 1 civ, 20 points)
Gimitar (only 1 civ, 20 points)
Karol (only 1 civ, 20 points)
bogi (only 1 civ, 20 points)

Note that some people from the previous list (krzysiek, borg, Staszek) have already posted an update to their votes in this or the previous thread, their updated votes are valid of course.

Internationalist,
You said you wanted to retract your vote altogether if the rules weren't changed. Since I changed the rules I'm assuming you're no longer retracting your vote so I still counted it. Let me know if you want it retracted after all though...

Boney,
I'm assuming 'Mon' means Mongols and Geordie means Georgians (from the Caucasus). Let me know if I'm wrong though...

Well, I gotta say that the top 16 really do look like the consensus top 16 if other games are any indication. One difference *I'd* like, it's no big deal, I'm not against anyone or anything, just giving my opinion that I wish the HRE was up there. The one that I'd replace would be the Polish. Not that I think they're a bad choice, I just like the HRE better.

Now, no flaming me for saying I'd like another civ in there OK!

Keep up the good work Locutus. I know it must be very tedious and I think most of us hold your poll in the highest regard.



EDIT: Good work on using the comma to separate your decimals! Please don't change it; we need to teach those from English-speaking countries that this is the correct way to write them

I've used all 160 points. Why do I still have 20 left?

[ranskaldan]

Hi Locutus, it's cool to see the list properly running again... i just thought of something, in the list, in addition to saying WHO you updated the last, can you say WHEN too? Like for example, "Last Update: xyz, Oct 9 14:00 GMT' or something like that.

Anyway, i just noticed how the South East Asian votes are split up between the Khmers, Siamese, and Vietnamese. Thus all 3 are kept out of the top 16.

The Top 16 looks fine to me except the Byzantines... I would take them out and put in the Siamese or Khmers.

and where's my *20* ?

i first voted

Poles 20
Mongols 20
Celts 20
vikings 20
carthage 20
arabs 20
spanish 20
mayas 20

and i changed my mind
mayas -20

so i should have *20*

[Locutus]

MacTBone,
Well, *personally* I think the HRE is identical to the German Empire (and later grew into the Austro-Hungarian Empire) and is thus already in the game, but I can understand how others might disagree (and if they're not German they do deserve a place in Civ3).

orange,
Hmm, odd. I don't know how you got in there - I must not have been paying attention - but I removed you now.

ranskaldan,
Like Gramphos said, see the 'last edited' line at the bottom. But then again, you're not the first not to think about this, I think I'll add some sort of time-stamp when I next update (only what time-zone?).

Mankind,
Like I said, the old thread got a little chaotic towards the end, I must have overlooked that -20 for Maya. I'll fix your vote during the next update (list with people with points left above was already fixed though).

(double post)

[vonholl]

Here is my updated list:

• Poles 20
• Vikings 20
• Turks 20
• Tartars 20
• Mongols 20
• Huns 20

TOTAL of 6 civ's and 120 pts

...and my first true post on Apolyton.

I just wanted to say that I found this page ONLY tanks to LoD's page. I don't want to continue the discussion about the 'Polish invasion' as this topic had already been widely discussed and closed.
I have been playing Civ since the early beginning and I'm really happy to have found this forum. And now I say 'Hi' to everyone.

BTW, in Poland you also use commas not dots in percentages..

[Locutus]

vonholl,
I wonder, do you plan on visiting Apolyton more often in the future or was the sole purpose of you registering here to be able to vote in this poll?

No,since you did change the rules you're assuming right.
Good job with the new thread, too, though I guess it would be time consuming. Much easier to find posts once again.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
I think these series of threads proves to be the most interesting to apolytoners since Forums creation,propably surpassing even your wildest expectations. It's becomming a social phenomenon.
