I want to write a strategy article...

...but I don't know for which card. I have a small set of cards I feel comfortable with that deserve an article, but I don't really have any preference. So, instead of picking one at random, I thought I'd just ask which card people care most about. Whichever card gets the most votes, that's the one I'll try to write for, and faust will write one for the runner-up card.

Question: Why are there votes for cards that are not fishing village?

no idea! i thought I'd leave it open, because that way it won't be quite as embarrassing if no-one is actually voting. At least a week I guess.

Because Fishing Village isn't very difficult. Unlike, for example, Island.

The better question is: Why isn't Lookout an option?  :P

I see your point, but... let's say I include lookout and people vote for it. The article is going to be pretty underwhelming. There's just not very much interesting stuff that I can say about lookout. It's a little bit stronger than most people think, but that's about it. And I don't want to include it just as a joke, because it might actually win.

Plus I'm not exactly big on having even more people read that conversation. I usually hate everything that I post (or write, really) after like 1 year, or less.

I voted Island, Prince and Bishop. I feel quite uncomfortable with Island and Bishop and with Prince I think it's hard to tell when it's really worth going for it.
I think Goons, Bandit Camp and Tournament are a bit less exciting to read about, though I'd still love to have some more insightful information and thoughts of more experienced players about them.
Probably, the least interesting to me would be Fishing Village.

Man, I'd change my vote from Prince/Bishop/Tournament to Prince/Bishop/Island but I want Prince to win.

Wait what, Prince is such a good enabler. I've only played a couple Prince games but it is nowhere near that clear cut.

Hmmm... I might be tempted to write an article on whichever card comes second in this poll myself.

Which is of course bullshit, as in order to do, it is necessary to try, by the definitions of the words.

Oh, I get it now.  I'd thought that you were suggesting that silverspawn write about the second most popular card.

Okay, so, I'll leave the poll open for another 2 days (16th 12am). Everyone who voted both island and prince can unvote one if he prefers the other. Although if faust does cover the other one, we'll have both articles anyway.

I really didn't expect Island to win. I thought it'd most likely be prince, maybe bishop or tournament.
