Player-selected ships 2015 - Final poll

[Prater]

The Dev's call it a Dutch Yacht.

[Balck]

But it has the English arms on the crest figurehead    In pink, yes, but that's three lions with three fleur de lis, quartered.

So I'm not the only one noticing it...

[Henry d'Esterre Darby]

Snagged this from the Russian forum

 

So does that mean voting is already over?

16 nearly unanswered votes is coming it a little high.....ok, more than a little high.  My recommendation for the future is a public poll - if they could make it in a forum that required 10 posts to post in, all the better.

[Leviathan]

No, it hasn't ended that I'm aware of. I just posted that as a reference to the voting as of the 28th and how much it has spiked.

[Prater]

I think we need the top 3 ships, but how has the Indefatigable spiked that much in less than a week?

Good question.

The staff should have a look at this.

And add a deadline to the poll.

[max_86]

I'm for a "minimum number of posts to have right to vote" rule.

Meanwhile, Indefatigable has reached Rattlesnake.

[Balck]

Two things.

 

1.  People can delete their vote and recast, as I did transfering mine from Temeraire to Christian VII

2.  It is the Indy, Hornblower isn't exactly unpopular among fans of the age of sail.  We've had a lot of new members join of late.  

 

The two could account for the spike.

I think dudes voted for it lol

[CommodoreWesley]

Changed my vote from the Bonhomme Richard, as she is unfortunately is not going to win, to the Rattlesnake. 

 

I'm still upset that there are still more votes for the Independence than the Bonhomme Richard...  I mean, this is the ship of John Paul Jones fame!

 

I'm suspicious of this HMS Indefatigable rise as well as I am not seeing many posts like: "Voted for the Indefatigable.  Hornblower fan for life!" when this rise has started.

 

And I don't think a lot of people have changed their votes, as the numbers for the lesser ships have been remaining constant while this sudden rise has occurred... 

[Don Alvarez]

Close da polls!!!

[Henry d'Esterre Darby]

I don't mind one ship winning over another, but I would like it to be real people voting, and not meat puppet accounts.  I would humbly request that the originator of the poll take a look at the voters (I believe they can see who voted for what) and validate that we don't have a ballot box stuffing situation.

[Kleinburger]

It is rather unusual ...

[Prater]

I think dudes voted for it lol

 

 

I think it is being manipulated, which is sad.

Впринципе, победители известны уже сейчас

 

All the other ships have gone up at about the same rate, while the Indy saw a huge increase.  Again, I think all 3 ships need to be made and I want the Amsterdam, Rattlesnake and Indy, but that is really suspicious.

[Thc420Vato]

Pass the dutch. 

[Rafael]

Indefatigable is the most well known ship by far due to the Hornblower series, with all the new players coming in that's where your votes are coming from.

[HunHarcos]

HMS Indefatigable PLEASE!

[Kleinburger]

There's also the Dev wild card to consider so who knows we may get all 3 anyways

[Prater]

And your evidence is where?  Are you telling me all the people who have been joining from the youtubers' showcase of Naval Action even know about Hornblower or even the ship?  I mean, the voting for the Indy has almost doubled in a week.

[Wicked Mouse]

Why did I think it was Dutch? o.0

 

Because of the description on the pre-order page (same mistake I made):

 

 

The very incarnation of the Dutch chic, the Yacht is more than a ship

[Thomas Blackwell]

Poor Rattlesnake. Even before she's laid down she's having to fight against the odds.

[OTMatt]

What time does the poll close? Maybe we can turn this around before its too late.

[Mirones]

actually voting for rattlesnake is pointless since admin posted that they like it so well its on their list of ships that will be ingame in the end sooner or later

Who knows, maybe it'll be the Dev's wild card pick.
