A little game. Get ready to vote!

[SkippyT]

So..we all know that a new expansion pack for Civilization IV is on the way and there has been a lot of talking which civilizations and leaders will be in it.
I want to make a game which leaders you'd like to have in the game. (It can be for existing civs or new civs). You must pick one leader that has been important in the history of civilization and name the civilization he led.
You grant...
1 point to your 7th most preferred leader
2 to the 6th
3 to the 5th
4 to the 4th
6 to the 3rd
8 to the 2nd
and 10 the leader you want the most to be in Beyond the sword.

• You can change/edit your votes if I haven't said: Updated list on post #1.
• Then he must put them in order and give points according to that.
• There is no correct or wrong answer.
• If you see that for an example that Pericles is in 8th place and Crazy Horse in the 9th place but they have the same amount of votes, it's because Pericles has gotten votes from more persons than Crazy Horse

This is similar to another game by taillesskangaru and some old ones I made:
Duel of the leaders
Elimination game: The best civ
Elimination game: The best UU

Europeans might know this system, it's similar to the Eurovision voting system.

Eliminated leaders from round one:

Brian Boru of the Celts – 8
Sundiata Keita of Mali - 8
Karl XII of Sweden - 8
Caligula of Rome - 8
Akbar of India - 8
Boudicca of the Celts – 7
Ahuitzotl of the Aztecs - 7
Jayavarman II of the Khmer - 6
Al Rashid of Arabia – 6
Songtsän Gampo of Tibet - 6
Philip II of Spain – 5

Charles V of Spain - 5
Attila of the Huns - 4
Nur el-din of Arabia - 4
Nero of Rome – 3
Hirohito of Japan – 2
Gustavus Adolphus of Scandinavia - 2
Bill Clinton of America - 1
Awawa of Nubia - 1
Lozang Gyatso of Tibet - 1

In round two the system is the same (fav. leader gets 10 points, second fav. leader gets 8 etc) - but the leaders available for voting are restricted. You can't vote for any leader now, you must pick your favorite from the list below. Those leaders have qualified to the next round.

Final results of round 2:

Hitler of Germany - 67
Meiji of Japan – 49
Cleopatra of Egypt – 43
Darius I of Persia - 38
Margaret I of Scandinavia - 38
Pericles of Greece – 35
Suleiman of the Ottomans – 31
Empress Wu of China - 30
---------------------------------------------------------
Jeanne d'Arc of France - 28
Salomon of Israel - 26
Abu Bakr of Arabia - 21
Homer Simpson of America – 21
William of Orange of the Dutch – 20
Pacal II of the Maya - 17
Sitting Bull of the Sioux – 14
Pachacuti of the Inca – 10
Xerxes of Persia - 8
Crazy Horse of the Sioux – 8

In the quarterfinals, the leader in 1st place takes on the leader in 8th place, 2nd place vs. 7th place, 3rd vs. 6th and 4th vs. 5th. We see that Darius and Margaret have the same number of votes, but Darius had more voters voting for him so he's in 4th place.

Final results of Round 3: Quarterfinals

Hitler of Germany 8 - 5 Empress Wu of China
Meiji of Japan 8 - 5 Suleiman of the Ottomans
Cleopatra of Egypt 6 - 7 Pericles of Greece
Darius I of Persia 8 - 5 Margaret I of Scandinavia

In this round you have to pick the leader of the two dueling who you like better. Let's say you prefer Wu over Hitler, Meiji over Suleiman, Pericles over Cleopatra and Darius over Margaret you say that and the leader you liked better gets 1 vote. It might be a little confusing, but you'll probably get it when you see my voting

Final results of: Round 4 - the semifinals

Darius I of Persia 5-11 Pericles of Greece
Hitler of Germany 10-16 Meiji of Japan

This round is just like round three, but there is always some new tiny twist... this time you have three points you can use. You can give three points to the leader you like most, you can pick your three favorites..or just do what you want with 3 points.

Fifth and final round::

Meiji 8-9 Pericles

This round is a pure duel. Just pick the leader you'd like to win

The winner is Pericles of Greece

Here is the top 10:
1. Pericles of Greece
2. Meiji of Japan
3. Hitler of Germany
4. Darius II of Persia
5. Cleopatra of Egypt
6.-8. Suleiman of the Ottomans
6.-8. Margaret of Scandinavia
6.-8. Empress Wu of China
9. Jeanne d'Arc of France
10. Salomon of Israel

Big thanks to all who participated! It was quite exciting, wasn't it?

 

[SkippyT]

1 point - Sitting Bull of the Sioux
2 points - Jeanne d'Arc of France
3 points - Boudicca of the Celts
4 points - Meiji of Japan
6 points - Margaret I of Scandinavia
8 points - Salomon of Israel
10 points - Hitler of Germany

Please don't get upset that I vote for Hitler. It's just my opinion. And don't tell me "he'll never be in the game" and all that. Vote him if you want, if you don't want to, don't.

O my! I better change it rapidly.

Edit: changed

 

[Catharsis]

Good thread!

1 point: Meiji of Japan
2 points: Pachacuti of the Inca
3 points: Nero of Rome
4 points: Boadicea/Boudicca/whatever of the Celts
6 points: Pericles of Greece
8 points: Sundiata Keita of Mali
10 points: Empress Wu of China

 

[cuchulain]

10-Crazy Horse-Sioux- (He might not be a chief but he's a warleader and NA chiefs do not necessarily make good comparison to western civs leaders so I think he still counts... better than Jean D'arc and Boudicca certainly... no offense...)
8- Brian Boru- Celts Far more appropriate than Boudicca. Again, no offense. I know a lot of people want Boudicca, but I can't fathom how she was more significant than Boru.
6-Hitler- if Stalin, Churchill, De Galle and Mao made it, Hitler should be in on both for relevance and despite the terrible things he did
5-Meiji- Japan-see Hitler
4- Pericles- Greece- Although few people's favorite, I don't think any would deny him a spot
3- Pachacuti- He's probably more approriate than Huayana

That's all I got. I always vote in these polls, but I'm pretty sure all the civs and leaders were decided on months ago.

 

[SkippyT]

Updated list on post #1

1. Hitler of Germany - 16
2.-5. Empress Wu of China - 10
2.-5. Crazy Horse of the Sioux - 10
2.-5. Pericles of Greece - 10
2.-5. Meiji of Japan - 10
6.-8. Brian Boru of the Celts - 8
6.-8. Sundiata Keita of Mali - 8
6.-8. Salomon of Israel - 8
9. Boudicca of the Celts - 7
10. Margaret I of Scandinavia - 6
11. Pachacuti of the Inca - 5
12. Nero of Rome - 3
13. Jeanne d'Arc of France - 2
14. Sitting Bull of the Sioux - 1

Adolf Hitler has a 6 point lead on a bunch of leaders, but that can be changed in a second. We see that Boudicca could get into the first place just with some vote from one person.

Thanks for the responce

Good idea Skippy. I was going to start one myself like the civ thread (but now you did that's good cause I don't have to count the votes! )

I'll only vote for the leaders for those civs already in Warlords since I don't know what civs going to be in BtS.

1 point - Philip II of Spain
2 points - Suleiman of the Ottomans
3 points - Darius of Persia
4 points - Empress Wu of China
6 points - al-Rashid of Arabia
8 points - Akbar of India
10 points - Meiji of Japan

Do not vote for Hitler!

(SkippyT, just a suggestion: it helps if you put "votes up to post ###" as the title for your spoiler. That way, you don't accidentally count votes twice, and makes it easier for those watching the result as well. )

 

[Samurai 2006]

Here are the results of the danish voting.

Darius of Persia, 1 point
Persia needs another leader. And hes probably more known than Cyrus. Phi/Agg

Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, 2 points
Terrified the Russians, Poles and Germans with his peasant army. Cha/Exp is good for him

Meiji of Japan, 3 points. Indu/?
Industrialised Japan.

Joan of Ark of French, 4 points, Spi/Pro
If not for this lovely lady France would have probebly been conquered by England!

Empress Wu of China, 5 points..something
I dunno..just see people voting for her so I just say the same.

Homer Simpson of USA, 6 points (that was a good one ), Phi/Spi
No need to explain

Adolf Hitler of the third reich, 8 points, Agg/Cha
Try to conquer Europe and then say "Hitler doesnt deserve to be in civ". He was the greatest leader of the 20. century.

and finally

Margaret den I of Scandinavia, 10 points. Cre/Cha
Im a bit biased (being danish and all) but this woman was the iron lady of the medieval age. I bet empress Wu couldnt have done what she did..

 

[Bongo-Bongo]

10-Pachacuti (Inca)
8-Darius (Persia)
6-Abu Bakr (Arabia)
4-Philip II (Spain)
3-Suleiman (Ottoman)
2-Emperor Meiji (Japan)
1-Pericles (Greece)

 

[flyingchicken]

Points - leader of country, reason

1 - Willem van Oranje of the Netherlands, because they'll make the Dutch orange if so
2 - Solomon of Israel, because his temple left him out of the spotlight
3 - Pericles of Greece, because he probably practiced pederasty
4 - Joan d'Arc of France, because she was a witch burned at the stake
6 - Darius of Persia, because he rode a chariot against the Greek UU's
8 - Sitting Bull of the Sioux, because I have never seen a sitting bull
10 - Hitler of Germany, because of his funny mustache

 

[SkippyT]

I don't know which of the comments are funniest. I must say:

8 - Sitting Bull of the Sioux, because I have never seen a sitting bull
