Civ 5 Design Challenge II - Mechanics

[Sgtwolf00]

I think that's a week right?

It's been a week as of today, but I'm one day ahead of everyone. So we have to wait one more day.

 

[inthesomeday]

I'm just eager to get the voting done so we can get to the next challenge

 

[Uighur_Caesar]

Well Natan posted the mechanic on the 12th so we should vote already. So here are the options:

inthesomeday's Haiti
kul's Sedara Kidul
NiaoMeow's Polynesia
My Pueblo
SgtWolf00's Scotland
SULOMON's Ichthyophagi

 

[Sgtwolf00]

I was going to vote for kul's, but I'm actually going to put my vote in for Uighur! I quite like that Pueblo design!

 

[inthesomeday]

Voting for Scotland, didn't like the Redshanks but the rest is probably the best for the challenge

 

[kul]

Of course Im going for the almighty, effect-hoarding, Paramount-War-stopping, straw-hat-giving, one-armed, RedhairedShanks and its pirates, the Scotland!
Also, Inthesomeday, grab a drink man. You've been sounding thirsty as heck.

Spoiler :

If I've been confusing y'all, most of those are One Piece reference

 

[Natan35]

I think I'll vote for Uighur, however I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do so according to the Challenge's rules.

 

[SULOMON]

I vote for Kul.

 

[Sgtwolf00]

I think I'll vote for Uighur, however I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do so according to the Challenge's rules.

What rules?

 

[Uighur_Caesar]

I don't believe it was ever actually made a rule whether or not the mechanic maker can vote or not, but there's precedents of people who have proposed mechanics voting in the past. I know I have for sure and a quick check revealed that Scott did so too at least once so I guess it's fine. Anyway, I vote for kul.

 

[Sgtwolf00]

Ok guys, since the votes have stalemated, what should we do? Show the results? Wait for a work week to end? (A work week being five days, so results on Wednesday the 27th.) Or wait for a whole week to pass? (That being seven days, so results on the Friday the 29th.)

 

[Urdnot_Scott]

uighur

 

[kul]

I love how Urdnott Scott always come at the peak of a civ stalemate, at least at the last 2 games

 

[inthesomeday]

So, Uighur?

 

[Sgtwolf00]

So, Uighur?

No, it's a three way tie between me, kul and Uighur. All with two votes each.

 

[inthesomeday]

I count three for Uighur, from sgtwolf and Natan and then one from Urdnot as the deciding vote

 

[senshidenshi]

No, it's a three way tie between me, kul and Uighur. All with two votes each.

And Senshi steps in to save the day?

Even though I'm against the idea of a Pueblo civ (Firaxis wanted to do one, but the Pueblo people requested they didn't), gonna vote for Uighur based on the design.

Yes while you've added a vote for Uighur, we still haven't decided a close day for voting. Should we just end it tomorrow (which will complete the 5 day work week cycle) and that way there's one more day for people like @GPuzzle to jump in and give their vote.

Also what's the reasoning for the Pueblo for being very secretive about their culture? They're not willing to give any information up at all. Which is a shame cause they're quite an interesting people.

Much of their history and language is sacred, so they would rather it not be online/in a video game. Native America also did not use writing (instead they used oral history), so their sacred language is also how they recorded their history.

 

[inthesomeday]

Am I wrong in counting that the Pueblo design already won even without Senshi's vote? Did we decide not to allow Natan a vote?
