Persia is making a surprising comeback! Meanwhile, at the top of the list, Songhai and Arabia are slipping. However, I'd say the next one to go is Rome or India- can anyone save Gandhi?

Japan moves ahead of weakling India, Siam comes up from behind, and what a hit! SIAM TAKES THE LEAD!
Two can play at this game, Ferris.

Looks like India's down for the count with Japan, Siam, Arabia, France and the Songhai fighting for the lead.
Exposition from a Japan player: Japan's UA is situational, but incredible if used correctly. Japan's a warmonger Civ essentially entirely, which is probably why it has a bad reputation with those that don't consistantly conquer the world.
In other words, not me.

@Sparthage: Looks more and more like Siam vs. Japan. Songhai, France, and Arabia could still win, though.

Well, this is stupid. If you're just going to go in and bump your favorite civ up and dump down the current leader, sure, your civ will win.
You're supposed to bump up the civ you see as the strongest, and bump down the remaining one you see as the WEAKEST.
I've voted one time - bumped Songhai up, America down.
Glassmage for instance, has voted FOUR TIMES, bumping Siam up every time, while dropping China, then Aztecs, then Songhai TWICE.
1) Glassmage, go play Songhai, k? Weakest? Really? hmmm....
2) Then, limit yourself to the same number of votes everyone else takes. (Or less, I choose not to vote again (ie, only voted once), but don't spam your favorite.)
Spoiler :
Edit2: Well, okay, on the last couple votes the remaining civs are all pretty good and "weakest" is subjective - but still, vote count, guys.

I didn't down the leader. I downed India. Glassmage, remember the 1/24 limit.

Oh, it sounded like I was tweaked at you, didn't it. Sorry, dude.
Bumping down the leader probably isn't in the spirit of things, but did we ever establish that the rule was to decide who to bump up or down based on how strong we perceive them to be? I assumed our rationale could be anything from who we think is the strongest to who we like to play to who we think has the best reason to be in the game to who the AI does best with to who annoys us most to, hell, how much we like the colors if that's what we want.
I think it's fair game to choose what you want to base your vote on, and if there was something specific we were supposed to base it on that should have been stated. It does say "best civ," but not for what reasons.
But yeah, regardless, hurting the leader no matter what your rationale is just so your fav has a better chance of winning is probably not really in the spirit. Not that I consider this thread serious business or anything, but I get what you mean on that part.

I was out of line there. You can chose any civ you want as the weakest, or the one you don't like, or the one that ditched your sister at the prom, it doesn't matter.
The vote count though - Glassmage voted four times in less than 24 hours. That screws up the "wisdom of the masses" thing I was seeing developing.
Someone who runs this thing should delete all his votes except his first. (And NOW, Glassmage, you can come in and vote again - as of 90 minutes ago.)
Edit: I'll do it, and take my second vote.
Me: Songhai +1, Aztecs -2
Glassmage 2nd, 3rd, 4th vote removal: Siam -3, Aztecs +2, Songhai +4
Aztec: 0 -> 2 -> 0
Arabia:13
France:14
India: 0
Japan:15
Persia:9
Rome:4
Siam:14
Songhai: 17
Now, come back in and vote again, Glassmage.
Yikes. Things are getting tense in here. I want to take Japan out, but damn if those domination victory types on this board aren't going to fight at full strength until the end.
