I count the votes.....

End game. I had 35 votes after winning a climate challenge. My duplicate resource was wine..(I had like 16 wines.) I voted 35 votes to make it so duplicates of that luxury resource granted amenities. The result after voting was that resource granted NO amenities.So..I go to count the votes to see who is voting against me. 28 Votes were cast by 4 members to grant no amenities. How did that trump my 35 votes?

Strange. As you stated it, it should not. Do you happen to have a save or a couple of screenshot?

You probably voted wrong resolution by mistake. It happens.

I have voted wrong before. I checked. Resolution A 35 votes.I did not screen shot it no.. I guess I could load an auto save to screenshot it but I counted each vote.I was wondering if a certain number of civs voted against you there was some type of voting block bonus.

Here it is and it happened again. It seems as if a majority vote for resolution B regardless of what they vote for(wine, marble, whales, etc).. counts against you for your chosen resolution A ( which makes NO sense at ALL. https://gyazo.com/f59e4cf537f8345ee025465082954cf6 )As you can see some voted that whales not give amenities. Why those votes count as a NO against my 37 votes to make Wine give double amenities is beyond me.

Yeah, that is working as intended. The item chosen in the resolution is not the deciding factor. Majority for resoultion A or B sets that means that resoultion is passed. So 45 votes for B and 44 votes for A means B wins regardless if any action chosen is higher or lower. Then it does a majority for subresoultion (actual amenity in this case). Then you are refunded based on outcome. 0 if your pick wins, 50% if your resolution wins (A or B) but your outcome does not, 100% if your resolution does not win.

For world congress, the votes are first tallied on which outcome will pass then the target. In your case you have 40 votes for resolution A and 43 votes for B. Therefore B passes.

Yeah, admittedly this confused me at first too.

"This specific outcome I picked had the most votes! I know that for a fact b/c I stuffed it myself!"

It does make it more difficult for a single civ to control an outcome, which is probably a better thing overall.
