    Default Vote again please

    Vote count was reset. Vote again everybody.

    In response to feedback from our players, we have changed some of the rules for the Queen of Evony voting to make the election more fair and free from bias. We are changing the following rules:

    * Everyone who votes receives an award. No special reward will be given for people who voted for the winning candidate. We are doing this to avoid the “bandwagon” effect. We want players feel free to choose the candidate they like the best, not the candidate they think is most likely to win.

    * Votes are no longer visible while the election is in progress. We will keep a tally but it will be hidden until voting is complete. Once again, this is to avoid the band wagoning.

    * Because we believe the original election was unfair (due to the above reasons), we are going to reset the vote count. Everyone who voted previously may vote again in this fresh poll.

    We believe these changes will lead to a more fair election in which all the candidates have an equal chance. Thank you for your feedback and we appreciate your patronage. We are all very excited about electing a queen and we hope you are too, so get out there and start voting, and may the best Queen win!Click here to learn more...

    Chino,

    For the life of me, I cannot understand why anyone, aside from the contestants, would give a damn about this contest.

    But then I noticed your location, and I realized something: you have to live in the middle of nowhere - not near Chicago, not even near "Chambana" (Urbana-Champaign), but probably somewhere near the Illinois/Missouri or Illinois/Indiana borders, where there is absolutely nothing but corn.

    I'm not intending this as an insult - I'm actually from Chicago, but I moved years ago.

    But dude, c'mon, enough with this Queen stuff already.

    RETIRED FROM EVONY
    In short, the carebears won the battle for Civony. Behold their chubby rainbow bellies and tremble, for they lost every single battle, but sure as heck won the war.

    It's listed on every post you make - it's at the top right of the post's header, right above your post count.

    Yea i know. I remember putting it there.

    It's just whenever anybody makes a "research" into people's lives for any reason and making an assumption, it makes me laugh.

    You have no idea who I am. What I do. You base my involvement on living in the middle of a cornfield.

    So I say make no assumptions on any online players. For all of them have a certain amount of their life devoted to gaming and all that revolves around gaming.

    That is my point. That's all.

    What research? Your location is listed at the top of every post you make.

    And, as I said before, I used to live in Chicago, so I was already familiar with Illinois' geography. Anyone who's lived in Illinois knows there are two areas where the population density is incredibly sparse: near the IL/MO borders and the IL/IA borders. Chicago, "Chambana," and a few cities in the north have decent pop density, but the rest of the state are dead zones.

    Ok you're saying I give a damn about the contest because I live in the middle of nowhere right?

    I wouldn't have put it that strongly, but yeah, something like that.

    And my point is you're basing your assumption on just the little tag that says my location. I did it to be funny.

    I live in a college town. There are lots of beautiful women around at Illinois State University. I don't have problems with getting a life. I just choose to game and get involved with social circles on the internet as well as in RL.

    There are things to do around here. But not that many gamers or those with gaming mentality is easily met outside. So I share a common bond with a lot of gamers.

    So I made a few e-friends. I have friends in WOW too. I have friends outside of online too. Just how I choose my life I guess.

    Don't make assumptions off a little tag you see is my point.
