Maybe best of 5, re-voting IS allowed?

Forbidden City

SteveDallas · 04-07-2006, 02:10 PM

I'm not voting, but just to clarify, I assume we're talking about the cathedral in Paris?

Aaah, rules not yet decided?

Best of 5 sounds good - think the re-voting restriction should stay

Alternative

as yours above

Do you want a best of 5 on that to decide?

Cyclefrance · 04-07-2006, 02:26 PM

Forbidden city - it's a whole culture not just a church

Undertoad · 04-07-2006, 02:34 PM

Forbidden City wins

This completes round 1:

http://cellar.org/fieldof64/64.php?field=landmarks

All #1s made it through to the second round, but 2 #2s were dumped.

For round 2, it's best 3 out of 5: with revoting permitted. Repeat, you may vote for two questions in a row during this round.

(Five potential voters is a lot of voters to be ineligible, and there would surely be a lot of FOULs.)

The Pyramids (1)
vs
Hagia Sophia (9)

TiddyBaby · 04-07-2006, 02:45 PM

Where's the goddamn viagrant lobbyiest
when ya need him to make some stuff come around agin?

Elspode · 04-07-2006, 02:55 PM

Pyramids...clean sweep.

Undertoad · 04-07-2006, 03:12 PM

Didn't take long. Pyramids win!

Great Barrier Reef (12)
vs
Wailing Wall (13)

Both fresh off upsets, one of these kids is going up against the Pyramids next. Choose wisely! All may vote, no fouls!

The Reef, the wall will only stay in humans willpower.

SteveDallas · 04-07-2006, 03:51 PM

The pyramids should take either one of them, but they will have trouble in the Elite Eight if they end up facing the Taj Mahal.

Cyclefrance · 04-07-2006, 04:52 PM

The Reef for me as well - let's hope we don't destroy it too soon....

skysidhe · 04-07-2006, 07:21 PM

I've been throught this thread a couple times.

All I can think of is, if it's still on landmarks, is the Space Needle which by the way looks better on a postcard.

I can't help but include McDonalds as a great american /and world landmark. It's got it's mark everywhere.

Not being a smart arse just a feebee of friends type of post :p
