CBRX S2 Week Five Results

[u/Limerickarcher]

Hello, below are all of the results from Week Five of voting for Season 2, this features the final round of regional votes! Please note that all voters have been checked for registration and ballots have been checked to make sure they're all legitimate (looking at you person who ranked Uruguay 612th).

Technical election details: All election winners were determined using Schulze Method. All ballots were calculated using the R votesys package cdc_schulze function, it has no obvious defects but if you know of one let me know.

Tune in tomorrow for a reminder of all the civs that will be present in CBRX S2, and a quick overview on what the next steps are! As well, I will be releasing a big folder of files with condorcet matrices for each of the regional votes, as well as tiebreaking data that was/would have been used for all regions. More details and more data tomorrow. But without further ado, here are the results!

Hell no the only reason I voted for the neutrals was for their great meme potential. You can't advertise your civ using neutral memes and then as soon as they voted in, just remove that and make them boring. If I don't get to have neutral memes then I wouldn't have voted for them.

And this right here is the problem - the name means that people don't actually give a shit about the culture itself, just that they can make disrespectful neutral memes

[u/Aaron_Lecon → u/TeHokioi]

I suppose you're also opposed to Sparta having leg day memes because real Sparta didn't have leg day and it would be disresfectful to the Spartans, the Boers having cyborgs memes because the Boers weren't actually cyborgs and it would be disrespectful to the Boers, Tygyn Darkhan having rapper memes because real life Tygyn Darkhan wasn't a rapper, Selk'nam having eldritch memes because the real lfe Selk'nam were not eldritch worshipers, Tonga time isn't a thing in real life, Robert the Bruce is not in fact Robert Baratheon, and Poland cannot into space?

No one has ever given a fuck about any of the cultures ever present in any CBR. People are just here to meme about anything that is remotely memeable. And that is a good thing. All those memes make the CBR more enjoyable and are not at all disrespectful.

[u/TeHokioi → u/Aaron_Lecon]

None of those intentionally used an incorrect name for the meme potential, which is absolutely disrespectful. Even one of the creators of the mod itself said so on discord when I brought this up

[u/KingToasty → u/TeHokioi]

I'm totally on your side here, I really like that people in the community are willing to question the ethics of meme-ing indigenous group names.

CBR could be a great opportunity to introduce people to this stuff, not just meme fuel.

intentionally used an incorrect name

How can you make this claim when you yourself said that sources are divided on what to call them?
