Hello all,

Voting is now open! There are multiple polls (i.e. heats) for each card type. In each heat, you can vote for two (2) choices (three choices for missions) to advance to the final round. You can change your votes at any time. Voting for all polls closes next Monday, August 3rd. Please use the individual threads to argue for or against the cards you want to see. And remember, here's the final count:

The final polls will reflect these numbers.

Here are the threads to vote for the final cards to fill these slots:

Links to all of the voting polls are in the top post of this thread now. Sorry for the spam, but I think this was the best way to do this.

Here are the finalists for each card type. I decided to post them here rather than bump all the threads:

Dilemmas
Chula: The Game
Infestation
Skeleton Crew
The Conscience of the King

Events
Confessions in the Pale Moonlight
Dabo
Parallel Course
Prejudice and Politics
Surprise Party

Missions
Cardassia Prime (Secure Homeworld)
Commandeer Prototype
Secure Strategic Base
Survey New World
Wormhole Negotiations

Personnel
Dukat (Prefect of Bajor)
Benjamin Sisko (Defiant Captain)
Seven of Nine (Undercover Operative)
Ishka (Moogie)
Chang (Gorkon's Chief of Staff)
Gowron (Sole Leader of the Empire)*
Morn (Barfly)
Persis (Loyal Daughter)
Vina (Orion Slave Girl)
Data (From the City of Rateg)
Keras (Creature of Duty)

* There were eleven (11) personnel to advance, but our forum software is limited to ten (10) options in a poll. Only one entry was one that I voted for - Gowron (Sole Leader of the Empire). Removing my vote for that personnel drops the total down to ten, so that is what I will do to keep the numbers even. Apologies, Gowron fans.

Ships
U.S.S. Enterprise-E (Royal Refuge)
Tykk
U.S.S. Constitution
U.S.S. Enterprise-B (Ill-Prepared Successor)
U.S.S. Equinox (Determined to Get Home)
D-7 Battlecruiser
I.K.S. Vorn (Ship of Traitors)
Bird-of-Prey
D'deridex Advanced
Starship Defiant (Ripe for the Taking)

Voting will be posted later today!

I know it won't match the location, but Wormhole Negotiations should totally be the Klingon/Dominion fleet attacking DS9.

Apologies, Gowron fans.

Booooooo

[MidnightLich]

Apologies, Gowron fans.

Booooooo

I have some good news for you. Either though a failure of memory, a failure of reading, or one of our programmers being sneaky (possibly all three), it turns out our forum software supports up to FIFTEEN (15) poll options. While this does mean I did a lot of extra work last week, it also means that Gowron gets to claim his rightful place as a finalist!

Hi guys,

first of all: Thx for giving us the possibilities to choose & to vote. That's not self-evident in times like this, isn't it?

Anyway, I'm missing "INTERRUPTS"? Are they cast out? But why? I surely would like to see an alternate Image for "Leap of Faith", "Dark Secrets", "Souls of the Dead" or "Accession" - well you know my love for Bajorans . But what about "Fajo's Menagerie"?

I know, for this Promo-Series my Suggestion is a little bit to late, but pleasemake a note for the next one .

Cheers

Charlie ran an initial poll on card types and the way the voting fell out, ships got 3, personnel and missions got 2 each, and dilemmas and events got 1 each. Interrupts and equipment didn't get enough votes to make the cut.

Hi,

ah, thanks, well I think I missed that poll due to holidays. Anyway, I'm looking forward to Promo-Series XXII, there will be an other chance for my desire

cheers

The final (9) are decided, no runoff votes needed, and are now listed in the top post. Next up, we will solicit ideas for images and alternate stories.

At the risk of being an asshole, since we'll need to errata Secure Strategic Base anyway ....

[MidnightLich]

The polls are now posted to allow you to pick from the art descriptions for each of the promos. There is one thread for each card, and each card has at least three (3) options to choose from - many of which are your suggestions! Each card has the option of using the original image or picking no image and let the Art team find something.

Vote - polls are open for one week!

Thank you to everyone who has participated in this process, from start to finish. I wanted to let you know that I've sent the information over to the Art team, who will begin the production process for these promos. Here are the winning art descriptions for each card:

Chula: The Game
An image of Quark looking up at the game board.

Bird-of-Prey
Good remastered shot of the underside of a Bird of Prey from TOS: Balance of Terror.

I also wanted to let you know that both missions will also be getting errata for the new Title (Subtitle) naming scheme, and to correct the affiliation order. This means both the reprints and the original missions will have this new configuration, when they are released in January.

Thank you all so much for participating in Pick Your Promos! I hope you had fun!
