Vote up a dungeon (4e) [voting concluded- dungeon pending]

[Mercenary Pen]

First off, welcome to one of the most ambitious 'vote up a...' threads in recent history, Vote up a dungeon.

Rules of voting

Spoiler

Show

1. Only a single vote per person per aspect is allowed. Multiple voting will not be counted. In some cases, voters can select multiple options, but voting again will not be allowed. This could probably have gone unsaid, but it’s nice to clarify it for everyone’s benefit.

2. Please only vote for the options provided. If you feel the need to suggest another option that I may have missed, do so by PM and I will consider it. Inherently paradoxical options are likely to be vetoed on the grounds that insanity does not help me produce good quality dungeons.

3. Please do not criticize or disparage the votes of other forum members. Let the votes fall where they may. It’s a dungeon, and therefore, there is room (hopefully) for differing styles and options. So just be patient, and allow other voters to voice their own opinions.

4. Suggestions for different aspects are allowed, but any major suggestions will have to be voted upon, so be advised that anything you offer could be voted down by others.

5. Changing of votes is not permitted. I have little patience for tactical voting and Bandwagonry so be grateful that I have not planned for a secret ballot.

6. If your vote cannot be tallied due to violation of any of these rules, I will post to inform you of that before voting ends. I will also ask you to modify your vote, so that it may be changed.

7. Unless otherwise stated, each poll's result will be winner-takes-all. We will sometimes take "popular losers" and work them in somewhere, but the winner of each poll will get the most attention in the crafting of the dungeon.

8.Upon commencing each vote I will announce the deadline by which time votes must be in. Living in the UK, these times will be GMT rather than fitting to American time zones, you have been warned.

Next vote will be for the intentions of the villainous factions. I haven't prepared categories to vote for, so please make 1 suggestion, but do not tie it to a specific faction.

EDIT: All votes concluded, dungeon pending.

[XiaoTie]

Hum, lets see...I'll vote for High Heroic

[Mercenary Pen]

First vote is tallied.

[Pronounceable]

I knew this one was inevitable. Wonder how long this voting craze will go on. Not that it's bad, but it's gotta die down sometime.

Voting mid heroic.

[Mercenary Pen]

Vote is tallied.

EDIT: So is the vote below.

[Zeta Kai]

Mid-Heroic

[UnChosenOne]

High Epic.

[Emperor Demonking]

Mid heroic

[Mercenary Pen]

Votes are tallied.

[TheCheshireHat]

*jumps into the Mid-heroic bandwagon*

[Mercenary Pen]

Votes are tallied.

Please refer to rules of voting regarding such subjects as bandwagons and tactical voting, and remember there is more than 24 hours to go.

[Vic_Sage]

Mid Paragon for me.

[Glooble Glistencrist]

High Heroic and Low Paragon are my favorite levels to play. Since High Heroic is already winning, I'll add to that.

[Mercenary Pen]

Votes Tallied.

I don't plan on cancelling VUAV anytime soon unless people get tired of it.

[Zeta Kai]

VUAM (3.5) will resume after either FFX D20 or VUACS ends, whichever comes first.

[Mushroom Ninja]

High Epic

I want to see what sort of things can happen in a lv 30 dungeon

[Inyssius Tor]

Fourth-most ambitious, counting Vote Up A Class (4e) and maybe another one that I forgot between coming up with the above number and actually hitting the Reply button.

Low Heroic, since it's actually a real challenge to keep low-heroic dungeons interesting without tromping all over the higher levels' territory, and difficult to make them at all without filling them with gobs or kobs.

Must be a bit annoying for you and Zeta to have to justify your trend on any old random thread... I've also noticed you haven't voted yet Afro (considering your vote perchance?)


On another note, Votes are tallied.

[Limos]

I vote Mid Heroic

[Mercenary Pen]

Votes ate Rallied (or something like that).

Well, now I'm just curious. What are the three most ambitious ones?

[AgentPaper]

I would guess Vote up a Campaign setting, Vote up a class (4E), and Vote up a class (3.5), in that order. (Classes are a bit harder to make in 4E than 3.5)

[Mercenary Pen]

Okay, I've changed it from 'second most ambitious' to 'one of the most ambitious'... can people stop nitpicking now?

[Draz74]

High Paragon.

[AgentPaper]

Mid Paragon is the current level of my group, so...

[Flabbicus]

Mid Heroic

[Mewtarthio]

Mid-Paragon

[Sequinox]

Low Heroic

[Mercenary Pen]

Votes tallied.

Reminder, there is still 26 hours to go. Nothing has an insurmountable lead as yet by any stretch of the imagination...
