I am really curious to know which two subjects are tied at the moment.  Only a day and a half left!

[Rainseeker]

Okay, I'll let you guys in a little:  The second place topic is only four votes behind, ATM.

[Lightman]

ADVENTURE MODE!!! 

[Neonivek]

Dang it NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Ohhh well loooks like it is Proceedural Cultures

[CobaltKobold]

PRAISE THE MINERSVOTERS

[Footkerchief]

Oh you have GOT to be kidding me.  We need instant runoff voting or something, this got Naderized to the extreme.

[Rainseeker]

It was 4 votes behind up to the last minute!   

[Neonivek]

It was odd especially since one of those was winning by a clear margin until the weird happened.

Going by this pattern the next voting will be a tie.

[Aqizzar]

Ha, I wound up changing my vote to Combat Mechanics, because I thought it would lead to a more interesting discussion.  And it winds up being culture, which I originally voted for because I love listening to Toady wax extemporaneously about his vision of fantasy civilizations.

Ohh I see, a vote split. That explains the corelation to the votes and what Toady's news on Sparring

Though there is no way to really test this other then another vote Just for fun (though the taint of knowing what won previously could change it). It would be interesting to find out if Adventuring would have won or if Proceedural cultures would have clearly been the victor otherwise.

[Hummingbird]

I would think that Combat overlaps more with Adventure Mode than with Cultures...

I'm absolutely sure of it.  That's the bloodthirsty lunatic demographic I was talking about earlier (Aqizzar, while undoubtedly a bloodthirsty lunatic, is also into prissy stuff like the social sciences, so he's an exception).

Yet another sad episode in the saga of Adv. Mode getting shafted.  Why doesn't anyone understand you like I do, Adv. Mode?!

[Neonivek]

It is like Adventure mode can't catch a break.

[PencilinHand]

Can't say I am especially thrilled by the subject that won, but I will listen to it anyway.

I really do find it hard to believe that NEITHER of my preferences won.  Although, I know many probably feel that the only subject that was really juicy enough to be talked about was the cultural one.  I will admit it has some interesting bits but I can't help it that I am more curious about where Adv mode and the technical underbelly of DF is and is headed.  It must just be in my nature. 

[BloodBeard]

Damn   

I thought Adv had it in the bag. I vote for Procedural Cultures and Adventure Mode to have equal discussion time with the vote being so close (and the strong likelyhood of Adv mode winning if the combat mechanics votes were split up).
