5th USAS Contest -- North Carolina

[notyou2]

Apparently, due to the fact that black people live in NC, Africa should be in this poll.

Any map with USSR should also be included, because red people also reside in the state of NC.

I am boycotting this non-racist poll.

With Pirates and Merchants being a Beta map, would it be the best choice of map for the tournament to run on?

No. I don't even know we have a map called P&M.

[jmyork82]

It would be a good way see if there are any balance issues on that map in order to quench it, wouldn't it? Besides, beta maps occur in tournaments. why not this one? Why have a map open to the public if you dont use it.

Because it's not Chinese Checkers, which is the correct choice.

I've lived in North Carolina for 34 of my 37 years. Therefore my vote should count twice

I think the only two that ought to be considered are King of the Mountains and Pirates and Merchants. The others, while creative, all sound like a stretch to me. Finding a map related to aviation would make sense, but I actually avoid the plane spots when I play USA 2.1. If you went that route, I would think Stalingrad or any number of World War related maps. Maybe because I grew up here, I think it would just be cooler not to have a plane related map.

I mean, the Wright Brothers were from Ohio. There came here cause it's windy. Yay. Go NC.

I did not know that 9.5% of Raleigh has Irish ancestry! My mom's side were Ferrell's formerly O'Ferrell. My granddad always told me as a kid that his granddad lost the O in the Ocean. Still, seems a little weird to have a country map represent a state. Save it for Massachusetts or Indiana.

And as for the homophobe slam, ha. ha. not really. We voted that asshole out in November. Unfortuately the "repeal" of HB2 was almost just as bad. We are one of the worst gerrymandered states in the nation, and the courts finally forced us to fix it in time for the midterm elections. Now I'm not saying democrat good, republican bad, but in rural NC those conservatives are... not great. Most of the middle to upper class republicans in NC are socially liberal, fiscally conservative. I mean hell, I kinna fit that bill. I just don't freak out that we spend a few dollars on education and food stamps.

This poll isn't about North Carolina the state. It's about North Carolina on Conquer Club. In the history of CC, there has only been two threads about North Carolina. This one, and the one I linked. If pirates are so important to North Carolinian CCers how come nobody has ever started a thread about it? Could you even find a game chat that mentions this imaginary link? It just isn't relevant to the masses. It's an obscure map that shows the pollsters are out of touch with the common people.

That's why I voted for King of the Mountains only.

[riskllama]

what about Draknor? there's a 1 in 48 chance the author/creator is from N. Carolina.

The most family friendly show of all time was set in North Carolina. The Andy Griffith Show. Since everyone's neighborly in NC like Opie, Aunt Bee and Barney Fife use the Madness Map that was based on the song Our House. "Our house in the middle of the street". Yea, everyone knows it.

Aye. You have missed the deadline. Though it would have been a cool idea.

Anyone who brings more Ron Howard into the world is a winner in my eyes HitRed.

Team NC right here!

How CC state map contests (don't) work.
1. One or two players come up with good ideas (i.e. U.S.A. 2.1 for N. Carolina).
2. Another half dozen or so clowns come by with cynical joke ideas.
3. Said clowns make pointless commentary and nonsensical arguments to support their unsupportable entries.
4. Then mod incompetence & corruption shows up to destroy any lingering possibility of the system actually working.
5. Result: Another poor map choice and undeserved contest win...

[IcePack]

Or perhaps people voting disagree that the argument you provided in favor of USA 2.1? Or don’t like the map? Or both...there could be many reasons, not sure how mod incompetence and corruption plays a part in the public vote results.

I know I didn’t vote for it, I don’t look who submitted or read the thread. I read the maps and the arguments for it listed, and vote. Wasn’t even in my top 3.

Citizens that don't vote for U.S.A. 2.1 should be put on a worldwide, permanent 'no-fly' list.

I have been to Mayberry, NC, er Mount Airy, NC. I remember seeing a full replica of the house as it would've been on the tv show when i was around 12ish. So like 1992.

I spent a LONG time googling to try to find if this house still exists. It is not the same as the Andy Griffith museum. Honestly, it could've been a house someone just made to look like the show and we stopped there cause it was near a sweet bbq joint. I'm actually not kidding.
