Well it seems some Major Idiot (me) miscounted. I blame it on getting fitted with glasses recently and in full blown 'Slinger mode (aka cocktail goggles) at the time. I obviously should be relegated to Palm Beach. It seems the Persians have 4 votes and the English 3.

A recount of the vote has been requested. As well, we have new members that haven't voted and we have till Saturday to hand in our choices.
Is that ok with everyone? Feel free to change the choices I have down.

Since we won't need a 5th civ I say give your top two civs (one can be a ag civ for our 4th choice since I would assume we'd want our 4th civ to be an ag civ before a non ag).
We can make the 5th choice the non ag civ that gets the 2nd most votes.

Here's what I have so far:
Non-Ag
Persia -8
England -3
France -1
Ag civs
Mayans 3
Aztecs 2
Sumerians 4

Whomp Persia- Aztecs
Bede England - France
Bugs England - ??
Sesn Persia- Sumeria
Pentium Persia-Sumeria
IP Persia- Maya
SW English- Maya
Barbu Persia--Aztecs
Loser Tubby Persia-- Maya
Crakie Persia -- Sumeria
Blind Mouse Daghdha Persia--Sumeria

Darwin ?? ??
Meteor Punch ?? ??
Mistfit ?? ??
Why didn't we have someone responsible take this vote?

3- Persia
4- Aztecs
5- France

Persia, Sumeria for me. Oh, just like Sesn :D

Yay, I get to vote :) Put me down for Persia, Sumeria

Persia, Mayan for me. BTW thanks for the invite.

Well it looks like the Persians will be our #3.
We need someone to break the tie between Sumeria and Maya.

If it's not aztecs my choice goes to Sumeria.

I picked up an absentee vote from Daghdha and he chose Sumeria so unless Bugs, Grille, Darwin or our lurkers change the ag vote we will have this...

1. Iroquois
2. Celts
3. Persia
4. Sumeria
5. English (though I'm not sure why we need a 5th)

I forgot about mounted warriors, that would be great since the last time I played them was GOTM 37 & lost miserably. Thankfully, I've learned quite a bit since then....

Final deadline to vote.
I will send our civ selections Saturday around midnight GMT.

Hmm, I think I'm pretty much fine with the choice and just abstain. Well, in case I snowed in earlier, I would have cursed Persia for their slow UU and Maya for their too-expensive/slow UU. But traits are ok if we get one of these.

On a somewhat related topic (I should have come up with earlier, of course): What do you guys think of giving the 'same' civ to every team? So that each team has the same UU/traits.
Not sure if this idea is popular or if it could still be proposed, but it is fun playing such a game!

I think it would be a good idea Grille but I think we're a little late in the game now.

I have sent RegentMan our civ choices and our titling stuff.
Iroquois, Celts, Persians, Sumerians and English
