Nosfe revived his thread in the general forums. And I posted reminders on Twitter and Facebook last night.

The poll might see more voters if some announcement was made on the top forum, or is the thread itself were there...It is kind of hidden, after all.

Probably 9800/8 votes for each other propositions, statistically speaking

Quite sad for you and me. ^^

People don't look at announcements, or sticky, or obvious things.

Also, one thing that may hinder the voting: all the factions add up to make a lot of reading. I'm pretty sure that many people will just skip and wait for the G2G part of the voting process simply because they can't be bothered to go through all that.

Voted Aparatus, as they provide the greatest difference in playstyle to the current factions, although I like the Makers as well.

Fal' Hadei had an interesting Affinity though.

Eaters of the Dead would be more interesting if their Affinity was ... more. Just switching food and production isn't enough to excite me as a "yeah, this plays different!"

The Automatons was a nice attempt, but I'm unsure of its viability.

The Nahgeen looked interesting, although lost points as Yet Another Human Race (as did the last four or five races all together, "This is a splinter faction from the UE" next). Their Affinity is different enough to offer a potentially unique playstyle, though it is worded oddly.

Voted for Photon_Ventdesdunes : The Nahgeen's.

A good read and interesting race, especially liked the artwork. The women almost looks like the priestess from the film Priest, and couldn't help but think 'monocle!' with your fleet commander.

I voted for the Eaters, although it was a hard choice between them and the Apparatus.

I'm not sure I quite understand the "prize":

Steph'nie wrote:
The [winningfactionwillbe] included on the race selection screen, as a custom faction

(emphasis added)

Does that mean the faction will be implemented fully, i.e. with their own affinity as described (in which case doesn't that make it just "a faction", not "a custom faction"), or just as a custom faction that anyone could create, i.e. using an existing affinity?

I think that's the mystery, because even in the dedicated thread, this has neither been confirmed nor denied, outright: /#/endless-space/forum/28-game-design/thread/13108-prize-for-the-winner-s

Can I ask what was strange (oddly) for you ?

Phew, this is a hard one. A shame that the winners are only implemented as custom factions, though. The ones like Photon_Ventdesdune's "The Nahgeen" and Nycidian's "Eaters of the Dead" would lose some of their charm being stuck with current faction portraits/affinities, in my opinion.

Unless the devs have some ace hidden up their sleeves they're keeping secret.

I clearly would love to participate for the design of the spaceships star-looking and the heroes with cybernetics enhancments of my faction.

I have tons of ideas more than the fews I already presented in the contest.

Good luck for all, We all deserve the place...but the Nahgeen's will win !! (Little advertising can't be bad

I was hoping for a plant species myself, and I really hope that Amplitude does make the winner into a full out race rather than just a custom. No matter the winner, it would lose some if its charm being only a custom race methinks.

Panzer: The Automatons
Photon_Ventdesdunes: The Nahgeen's
messej: The Makers

This poll will close on July 17th. And, your favourite submissions will be part of a Games2Gether vote! The winner, like I said will have his/her custom faction included on the race selection screen, as a custom faction. Good luck to everyone, we're almost there!

I hope it's not only because it's a jovian race.

To the devs : What will happen to the other races which made it to the final vote but didn't win this last one ? We forget them, they will be implemented later ? (first the winner(s)) Something else ?

Gah, was difficult. Eventually went against my initial instincts and voted for the Sons of Tor, mostly because one can never have enough factions whose name implies they're a cult. Was a big fan of most of them, however. My second favourite is actually the least popular, CIP

Well, there is no point in voting for Nosferatiel or Sadi's faction as they will be clearly going to be in the next G2G vote.

Third slot is still arguable if more people get to vote.

We've got more than 10000 forum users and only 200 voted, so I've got no idea what would happen if everyone stopped voting for Sadi and me, now.
