Its a pretty close one though....

ARTIFACTS WON!?!

Wow, I guess that is why Exit Polling is always considered supperior to general polling.

I mean... Wow... It won? wow...

Though to admit... If Science or Crossbreeds weren't there... Artifacts would have likely lost since I believe a vote split happened.

Yeah that's pretty much my reaction.  Combat in last place again.  Le sigh.

[smjjames]

Oh no! Theres hanging chads on the voting slips, I demand a revote!

J/K!

heh, could barely resist doing that. Seriously though, I think doing one for artifacts is fine and there is a good deal of potential there.

[Neonivek]

Maybe I should revive my topic: "Artifact Suggestion Redux" soon...

Though I won't cheat... I will need to put actual artifacts down.

[UseBees]

i'm still stunned. i never thought artefacts would actually win this. they make up such an insignificant portion of the game compared to what the other categories (i'm not sure about cross-breeding, of course).

[Dakk]

WAT

How could science lose?! To artifacts at that!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I sure hope toady has some interesting stuff to discuss on artifacts >:I

Resuming FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Can't say we're surprised by this.  Don't worry, we have some good artifact discussion cooked up!

Can Dwarves make a hammer-head shaped like cheese?

Dwarfs can't craft sharks in the current version.

Ach, I was in the mood for listening to people stabbing each other in the 4th left toe with random pointy objects and strangling people with socks. I guess combat will have to wait, looking forward to listening to the artifact one. 

[Greendogo]

Damn, artifacts won?  I wanted combat/weapons and shiz.  I would have rather had science than artifacts.  You guys should institute ranked voting so I can rank my vote and if a shitty topic like artifacts is going to win, my vote might actually, you know, count for shit.

[carebear]

Okay, shall I be the first to say it then?

Artifacts is the next topic? GOOD.

[Mephansteras]

Hmmm, I'm not surprised. Artifacts aren't a major part of the game yet, but they are a very noticeable one. How many of us have cursed a failed mood, or set up dwarves' skills specifically to get the highest chance of an artifact Armor or Weapon?

While it's not my favorite topic, I'm sure it'll be fascinating to listen to.

Yeah, instant-runoff voting is cool, but I don't think the forum software really supports it.  Although I guess you could put up all possible rankings as voting options, and let people pick which one they want -- that'd be kind of unmanageable with 4 topics, though (4! = 24 rankings, more if you allow rankings that include "blanks").  But with 3 topics, it would be feasible.
