OOC: Two things.
One, option C got eight votes while Options A and B got four or five.
Two, you said last night that this, paraphrasing, "wasn't a proportional vote, just pick one".
You're the GM, it's your game, and you can make whatever decisions you want. But the math is pretty clear that this isn't the collective will of the players, so I'd rather not pretend otherwise.
Yes, I am a little annoyed that I'm getting cut from the game one turn after being accepted in. I think cutting players based on what country they're playing and not based on their contributions or the quality thereof is a pretty bad metric. I would have been glad to pick a larger, more influential country, but my options were pretty slim.
