Last time Alex had the lead vs. Napoleon, it was 10 votes.... but it was another poll.

Yeah, we've given up on that now. I proposed in the other thread that we default to Napoleon vs Khan due to the clear presence of cheating.

Hello Just! Welcome to the forum, care to share with us why you voted for Alexander?

You aren't from Greece perchance, are you?

An artists rendition of the guy making fake accounts:

He is screaming "Go Alex, Go!"

No I meant that real Parmenio would support Alexander. You voted against him, which makes you a "fake" Parmenio (j/k)

I didn't vote against him, I cast my vote for him. I did because he was losing so badly.

Strange! Your rhetoric would make anyone think that you voted against him. However, I checked your vote, and it was for him.

Guys, there's no reason not to participate in the final. This is likely not going to happen again (at least I hope not).

Thank you. It's a Miyamoto Musashi fan. I told him my opinion of the swordsman. Reaction as seen.

Haha, on a related note, I just finished reading a translation of the Go Rin No Sho, made me question his actual abilities as a swordsman. (Read it alongside Yagyu)

Thomas Cleary, and yes I know, his translations are not the best.

But it was cheap 5$

Anyways, those Alexander fanboys who rigged the poll should be ashamed of themselves.

I hope that the moderators manage to monitor well the final and limit those kind of actions.

This isn't fair. I'd like Napoleon to win, but I won't cry if he don't, but this? It just isn't right. Frickin' vote rigging.
