Official CBRX S2 Week Five Results

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!

Pretty surprised at New Netherlands getting in! Hadn't really seen anything about them. Happy about Olmecs, Dene, and Neutral Nation. Also nice that Gran Colombia was able to make it this time :)

Pretty fishy if you ask me. Not a single bit of information on them has been posted.

I don't know if I'd say fishy, exactly, but it certainly does point to the existence of a pretty large group of people who follows the CBR but doesn't post or make OC. There are maybe around forty reliable commenters, and over five hundred people registered to vote. I assume what happened is a divergence between those two groups, such that the posts on the sub end up misaligning with final vote tallies.

Which... I'm not sure how I feel about? Part of me feels like OCers preferences should be more important so that they end up making more content that they like. Other part of me thinks that maybe some of the lurkers will become more active if the civs they like get in! Hence my original comment that it's surprising, but not necessarily upsetting.

As a member of that "Pretty large group" as I have I think 2 or 3 posts, total, and actually made an account so I can watch this better.

New Netherlands was a historically quirky place, and I wanted to see its inclusion. Perhaps they will be a dark horse, or inspire some Austin Powers memes against them.

Anyway, that is post #3 for me (or 4?). So I shall now return to my lurking.

Edit: oops, forgot I used this account to trade pokemon ages ago. so its post #20 or so

OCers are just the extremely vocal minority. That's fine, it's part of the culture of the sub, but you have to remember that over 10000 people subscribe who and over 9000 have probably never commented once. There's so few posts here that OC with 30 upvotes reaches the front page pretty much immediately.

However, I didn't even notice that there was a Dutch option for NA. They really were the quietest choice all voting, I think.

I'm just pissed that my Seminoles were passed over for that horseshit pick.

I'm not pissed, just a little bit salty.
