If that happens, I will honestly tell them to piss off and not in a nice way.


The number of posts also seem to be dropping, have people just been dwindling away ? Or has their been a pettiness with people lsong interest if poll outcome hasnt went with their preference ??

Changed my vote to continental with key since resource is clearly not going to win.

Resource, expanding and no bonus should all change their votes as there is a two horse race!

We have a winner in the Rorke's Drift mini competition.

Winner is:
show


gilligan and enders got the British soldiers wrong. gilligan included Scheiss but missed out one of the Jones. enders thought it was a typo and named all men that won the VC.

Christian Ferdinand Schiess was a Swiss recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces and a corporal in the Natal Native Contingent, South African Forces during the Zulu War.

Since Resource style is overpowered by Classic gameplay and Classic with key, I switched my vote to the key one. Otherwise my vote would go nowhere :)

Just for Fun - as a follow up to Rorkes Drift - name 10 Maps directly related to Movies. Sure there's a lot more, but see what people come up with ??

For example - Salem switch - the Cruicble.
Discworld as book adaptions were tv shows rather than films.

Since it's down to 2, I switched my vote to Continental with key as I like the feature and feel that the Great Community Map Project needs to produce something unique beyond the standard continent bonuses.

C'mon folks ... make a difference. Chose now between continental or continental with key. By choosing the key option you get your continental but something extra too!
