[If you can't see the poll above this post, you must log in or register!]
These are the ten sets that were used for the final match of GokoDom III. (The final match did not end in eight games, so two honorable mentions were used as well and are eligible for the final vote.)
Voting is one round of approval voting. You may vote for ("approve of") as many kingdoms as you like. So if there are a few kingdoms you really like, you can vote for all of them without fear of "wasting your vote." You may define favorite in any way you choose. You may change your vote at any time before the close of the poll.
Voting will close one week after the end of the third place match for GokoDom.
The winner will receive the Dominion expansion of his choice. -----
CONGRATULATIONS to the 8 finalists (in alphabetical order): Awaclus, c4master, liopoil, MarkowKette, RobertJ, Rush_Clasic, soulnet, and Stef, and the two honorable mentions: markusin and WanderingWinder. Because the two honorable mentions were played as part of the GokoDom final (kingdoms #9 and #10), they are eligible to be voted upon, as well.
How the final kingdoms were selected (judging criteria) is here.Here's an article on Kingdom Design in which I tried to outline some of the issues that came up when the judges were evaluating kingdoms.
Feel free to discuss the kingdoms in this thread. How would you play them? Which are your favorite?

Logistics:
Ok. So, last night we had a little leak. The player we were most concerned with having his name associated with a kingdom is now associated with the kingdom he created.
Given this, and the fact that people can simply log search by kingdom to see play test logs on Goko to find out the creator, I think it would help all the other kingdoms out if we post the spreadsheet with the kingdom descriptions and play test comments. This spreadsheet associates the kingdoms with the people who submitted them and includes all 123 kingdoms, 54 playtested candidates, and honorable mentions. I will also add playtest logs later where I think the playtesters attempted to implement something different from the GokoDom games or highlights something in the submitter's description of a kingdom.
Edit: added the last two kingdoms.
