I'm honestly surprised Turkey got the number of votes it did.
I was almost certain Greece would take a near clean sweep.
But because Turkey put up a fight, it makes it a sweeter victory for Greece.
Well played!

Inca has a high rank. Poland did very well too, compared to other veteran civs. Congratulations to Greece for its win and to Turkey for being into the first five.

GG my friends.

Apenpaap, will you start a new tournament? If yes, I have an idea: the winner (Greece) will not compete in the next tournament. After every tournament, the winner is eliminated.

 

[The Diocletian]

I'd be game for another round, but I'll bet this game is a bit of a PITA to host apenpaap.

 

[apenpaap]

I'd rather do one with the civs actually seeded properly for the next one instead of having them plunked down randomly, so strong contenders don't go up against each other in the first round, making one of them leave earlier than it should. The results of this first tournament should give a decent idea of which civs are the strong contenders.

However, I'm not planning to run another one; at least not now and probably not for a while. However, if someone else wants to run one, be my guest. And if that person has any questions about how I run it and/or needs my help for something, they need only ask.

Noooooooooooooo! If only one silly Greek person votes Turkey!

I have an idea for the next civ tournament. Their number of posts = their number of votes? In order to prevent... spam... we count them up before the tournament, so what you start with you have the whole game.

But me...

I'd be the Massachusetts Compromise all over again.

I can try to organize one. When can I start? Where should I do it? In this thread or in another? Should I organize it with the same rules or can I change them? (If I will organize it, I will use random seeding and the elimination system I have proposed.)

I'm not sure what you mean with this.

I'd advise you to start a new thread; this one is getting pretty long and you'd need to get me to change the OP every time. As for the rules and when you start, it's your call.

 

[The Diocletian]

I'm not sure what you mean with this.

I believe he means that we should make the amount of posts one has to the amount of votes? So if one has 1,000 posts, he or she would have 1,000 votes.

At least, that's what I read.

 

[apenpaap]

Ah, I see. Doesn't seem like a good idea to me to count some people's votes heavier, especially based on such an arbitrary thing.

 

[Tomorrow's Dawn]

No. Even as a primary beneficiary of this rule, I cannot agree to it because it's severely imbalancing.

 

[ales_]

OK. I'll start a new thread in about 3 hours. I'll use this tournament as the first tournament of the game.

 

[Royal Tenenbaum]

... Why would you do that? We already know Greece won over Turkey

 

[ales_]

Have you read my suggestion to the rules? Greece won't compete in the next tournaments. It has already won the first place of the game. The einner of the second tournament will get the second place etc.
