Please wait until everyone gets a chance to submit any suggestions before deciding your vote. When you do vote, please rank all available choices.

a ranked voting system allows all options to be heard equally. It works much better than a traditional voting system where you are severely limited by the choices decided ahead of time. For more information on the benefits of a ranked voting system see:

Option E: Everyone but Ermor stales 56 and 57. Continue as normal with 58.


hmmmm i didn't realize this is possible. If you submit a blank file as a 2H then won't the server reject it as an improper file? People have already submitted turn 56 so will a blank file really cause the server to revert their submitted status to a staled status?

I would say a then b. Im not really involved in the fighting anyway.

I'd say that Marignon profited way too much from my stales for 2 turns to make good enough difference - he had armies ready and able to grab my provs. And he killed all my troops in other fronts, so he can just happily sit and watch while all I do in 2 turns is move armies. Sure, I got more troops than before, but they are everywhere and mostly weak chaff. Having over 1k amphibian troops with mage support, items etc is a totally different story. So if Marignon is so inclined to continue the crusade, I hope he'd be also willing to make the fight fair.

More troops than before after 3 stales despite all Marignon's efforts kind of proves my theory that LA Ermor is *designed* to be a 'force of Evil' that has to be ganged by the whole world if that world wants to survive.

Hmm,

As it was my empire that Man dismantled during those turns.
I would love a rollback so I could try an actual defense this time , not get my god killed etc etc.
:)

In general, I have been very impressed by the sportsmanship of both Zeldor and Kuritza.
I am not so invested in the game, as I joined as a sub with 5 stale turns and suboptimal pretender/domain choice (from my opinion), so my goal was learning.

I vote as follows:

If kuritza and zeldor can both vote together on an option, I support that decision.
Else, end the game.

Thanks so much for teaching me my first online MP dom3 game.
It was a blast, just WAY too much time spent.

Please message me if you ever want another noob for a blitz, I prefer quick turns and rapid resolution. (Which is why I have been playing League of Legends lately ...)

Bye for now

okay i will leave these in since they were suggested, but there is a problem with these. As far as I know there is no way to verify if someone sent a "blank" 2h file. Therefore, options D and E would rely on everyone be willing to cooperate. And there would be no way to verify if anyone actually followed instructions or not.

With A,B, and C there is no such problems. As admin I can implement those with or without anyone's cooperation. So i prefer those options to the ones Micah suggested. But I want to to be democratic instead of despotic so let's vote.

Time to vote! There are five options that have been suggested. Please RANK ALL OF THESE in order from most preferred to least preferred. All votes must be posted in the open here on the forum. Any votes PM'd to me will be posted here. Polls are open for 48 hours.

Option A: Do nothing and continue the game as normal

Option B: Complete turn 56 as normal then run turns 57 and 58 with only Ermor submitting turns. Turn 59 would resume as normal

Option C: Roll back to Turn 53.

Option D: For turns 56-59 non-Ermor players submit a single non-blank .2h file, Ermor plays all turns. (Blank .2h files should be used for all turns so Zeldor can't tell in advance if a player will be staling, or force people to wait until the last 5 minutes to submit turns, etc.)

Option E: Everyone but Ermor stales 56 and 57. Continue as normal with 58.
