From what i have heard I expect Strategic Greece or Snow M to win. But i hope that all voters will at least also take a look at the Warring States China game.

In my view the bonuses of Warring States China are more complex as Strategic Greece or Snow M and maybe because of that harder to understand. But that tamplate has therefore more strategic value and depth.
(also i find the Ancient China map in aesthetic view better than Ancient Greece or slow earth.)

Question: if sent my votes for a 2e time, will then my votes of the last time count? Because i did change my mind and sended my votes for a 2e time...

(Edit: Snow M was slow earth, but i really wanted to say Snow mountains. :S)

Snow mountains is a good one as well, imo.

Yes, Snow Mountains is a lot of fun.

@Chris all the ones that just had atemplate appear to have been skipped.

I don't think The Ungodly Kasparov really got in that linked game. I'm tempted to trollvote it a 5.

Oh look, my template is #1 on the list! *time to get my alts voting*

I did not see an answer to this, when does voting end?

why am i not surprised my template was not nominated?

So no word on why some templates did not make the poll and no word on when the poll closes?

"So no word on why some templates did not make the poll "

look at: Vote on the template for Season XVII!: 10/21/2014 23:08:20
Fizzer: "There were some suggestions with no game/tournament link at all, so those got skipped."

Fizzer did answer that question before you asked it ChrisCMU.
I think he would have even added Battle Islands V 1v1 to the poll if the Turtle had followed the instructions.


Pulsey:"why am i not surprised my template was not nominated?"
you know you would screw up, didn't you? ;)

That makes no sense orange. All but a few people did it correctly, like he said. So why are there a bunch to vote on? Because he gave leeway to those that did not give him all three requirements. Yet, there are some templates left out. All i am asking is why?

And still no answer on when the poll closes.

It has already been explained what leeway was given, so unless you're showing us suggestions that got skipped that actually had a game linked, then what is the problem?
Look on the poll and see what all the ones we can vote on have in common (click on the common link for all of them), then you can then load the ones you're complaining about, you see the difference?

when will this proceed

Sorry for the delay in getting this up -- I promise next time I'll try harder to get the turn-around quicker. I'll also try to improve the polling process in general. Here are the average ratings for each template:

Strategic Greece: 3.329268293
Snow Mountains: 3.096385542
Strategic Turkey: 3.0
Fast Earth: 2.719512195
Ancient Greece II LD: 2.56626506
Vietnam Jungle Wars: 2.488095238
Slow Earth: 2.451219512
Strat MME New: 2.45
Rise of Rome Auto Dist: 2.11627907
Warring States China: 1.951807229
Auto Earth 1v1: 1.94047619
The Ungodly Kasparov: 1.759036145

Right now it's a pain to go in and remove all of the duplicate votes, some of which are unintentional and some of which are people who tried to cheat the poll by voting multiple times (several people did this, and it really just slows the whole process down). For next time, I plan on writing some tools to do it automatically but for now I'm doing it by hand.

Thanks for the update Fizzer. When you say people voted multiple times, what do you mean? Someone voted twice with the same account? OR, people voted with alts?

If the latter is the case, why should that not be allowed? If I pay for two memberships, why should I not get two votes? Personally, I did this because as I said, I feel I should have two votes if I have two memberships.



As far as the results go, I am pretty surprised China did that poorly. Also surprised Turkey did that well (considering it was just played recently) on seasonal.

Ahh the benefits of living in Fizzer's timezone... I get in the first recommendations, and both times they get picked! XD

What surprises me is that Fast Earth was popular enough to get 4th!

...but maybe not. Wasn't this on a scale of 5? If the votes are any indication, people were lukewarm to the suggested templates at best...

If the latter is the case, why should that not be allowed? If I pay for two memberships, why should I not get two votes? Personally, I did this because as I said, I feel I should have two votes if I have two memberships.

Membership is not needed to be able to vote, you just need to be eligible for the ladder.

True, but either way it did not specify 1 vote per person. If he desires it that way, he should state that. Otherwise how do you expect people to follow that rule?

Idk, I think 1 vote per player is just common sense. Like he doesn't have to specify, you can't force others to vote on a specific way, etc.
And even having 2 accounts with membership doesn't give you right to vote twice. I mean You are not suppose to play on a ladder with 2 accounts at once. So if you can play only by 1 account per player, you should also be able to vote once per player.

I think some voted twice with same account. i.e. myself... i wasn´t 100% sure what/if i voted so i voted again (thinking if i already had voted i cant access it anymore). But i could and voted again cause i thought i didnt submit Oo.. but after i found out i already had voted (cause i posted it in clan chat)... so in my case it was more or less unintentional as i really dont have any favourite map.
