The Final Voting Results of the EC3 List

[raingoon]

YEah, do it -- although I say keep the votes but take out the numbering and whether it's a fix or a new idea -- just have it say Essential Civ 3 and then the 11 items, followed by the alternates.

[FinnishGuy]

Yeah go ahead, send it!

You know, Sid addressed the issues in my proposition (faster graphics/interface) in his message already. So I can't feel too bad about not making it into top 5.

[Atahualpa]

Great!

I hope you not only send the top 5 ideas, but the others as well (like now under: others receiving votes).
I dont want the OpenSource AI idea to be completely gone (or the Recruitment idea).

[ChrisShaffer]

Send the whole list, votes and all, winners and alternates.

[Grier]

I agree send the list as is, then we can get onto the serious bussiness of campiagning our new ideas for civ-4.

p.s I blame the defeat of HEX-based maps on a lack of campaign time and the late rush of votes that knocked my idea from 4th to 10th. Still i'm not bitter at least I beat simultanious turns of play ;>

[Adm.Naismith]

Korn, I like your index and I support the idea of sending the whole result.

Seeker, an italian coffee "espresso" is on the way to thank you for support

Grier, what do "simultaneous turns" against you, that you are so angry with us?

I think we did a great job, guys! And, with the recent message from Sid, I think this list has great chances, too. So, I'm happy! . Thanks for everybody who worked on it.

[MarkG]

yeap, mail it to me and I'll forward....

[Theben]

Whether or not you use the essentials for a new poll, I think it's time to replace the old one. Either that or use the space for something new, Mark.

[korn469]

My grandfather had a series of mini strokes over the weekend and has been hospitalized, so i was wondering if somebody would write a good cover letter for the EC3 list and send it markg...

raingoon? anybody?

Since my fix #5(Make it Harder for Civs to Last= Make the game a REAL CHALLENGE!) will be included in the list sent to Firaxis, I have a small request.
My original final draft ended with:
<font color=red>
CHANCE EXISTS!
</font>
In my view this was a quite essential final remark, summarizing my idea. Please, do me a favour by restoring it to its proper, original place!

Thanking you in advance!

I have to say that of all the fixes voted in, #3 is by far the most crucially paradigm - shifting of them all.

I have yearned for the day when the structure of the monotonously ever-expanding Ego-Civ would be smashed to pieces, just as the Unitred States will be someday (heh, heh, guess what the Ego-Civ paradigm resembles?)
