Because I am dead tired and in a good mood, I'll count all these votes (if no one objects before I give the final results). My AAR and @Flinteroon 's is both CK3. It means you voted on five CK3 AARs and one CK2 AAR. If anyone objects to these five being counted, I will remove the vote for my AAR, so that it's four CK3 and one CK2 AAR.

EDIT: @ardsss , not Flinteroon. Another hickup in the votes. :D

You guys are destined to make life difficult for me. :oops: That's the problem withh votes as for @El Pip and thus we have five CK3 AARs and one CK2 AAR voted on. Now I need your input folks. I could count them all, as a one/two time exception. Or I remove two votes for me. Or I remove one vote for me and one for @ardsss .

I have no objection to counting them as intended, even if the categories were off (i.e. your plan).

I've run these votes before, and sometimes you just have to make a decision and run with it. You're investing your time and effort, which we much appreciate!

Okay, thanks guys. Then I will let the votes stay in. :) Just made it a tad bit worse that the benefactor would be me, you know. :)

Speaking of which, I am almost finished tallying and so far Victoria 3 has me and me and an AAR that got no update in Q4. I am seriously considering merging Victoria 2 and 3 to one ballot at this point.

I think this is a symptom of the CK2 forum being inside the CK3 one. See, for example, Blood and Empire. It is a CK2 AAR, but the banner image for this (and all other) CK2 stories is labeled CK3.

I also have no objection to counting the votes as intended. Whatever is easiest for you as the tallier.

Considering how much of a shambles we electors have managed to make of this, I say let’s take any and all possible valid votes as a blessing from heaven and leave the exact quantities for the devil to quibble about.
