2017-08-01 15:05:10 +0000 UTCMonday, July 30? Did you mean Monday, July 31 or Sunday, July 30?

2017-07-31 05:37:30 +0000 UTCJust to increase its chances, I'm doubling down on the subject of Louis Riel.

2017-07-31 04:08:29 +0000 UTCI decided to split to give two of my favored topics a chance each and went with the Jurchen, the people who'd later change their name to the Manchu, this time. They're quite interesting and most of the time get reduced to a footnote that makes understanding late imperial Chinese history more confusing. I want to give them a chance in the spotlight.

2017-07-29 21:27:39 +0000 UTCGonna add your vote to Margrete as well this month, Christina? My arguments for why she's a good pick are mostly the ones you made on the last poll.

2017-07-29 12:22:25 +0000 UTCMedieval Europe east of the Rhine definitely needs more attention in the anglophone world.

2017-07-29 11:57:08 +0000 UTCWhen will this series likely be released? It would be nice to know going forward, so if desired, we could time our suggestions so that they might be relevant to the time of year. For example, a suggestion for a series about or touching on the history behind a holiday would be nice to have come out near that holiday.

2017-07-29 09:49:44 +0000 UTCA whole series! Although sometimes they are shorter than six episodes; the usual range is 4-6.

2017-07-29 05:29:02 +0000 UTCJust chiming in to confirm that Pavel is correct! Good luck!

2017-07-29 05:28:44 +0000 UTCCooolooo: yes, you absolutely can! Sara: We run these every month because rewards are on a monthly schedule, but we can't run polls every month because then we'd have a monstrous backlog of series as each one takes 7 weeks to air. Some folks, like Cooolooo, use the multiple suggestion windows to increase the odds of their choice being picked, while others suggest two options because they don't want to decide between two favorites.

2017-07-29 05:28:23 +0000 UTCIs this the suggest round for a whole six episode series or just a one off episode???

2017-07-29 03:13:00 +0000 UTCTime of Troubles. So much scheming...

2017-07-28 23:02:58 +0000 UTCBarbary Wars. Founding fathers were fighting islamic terrorism before it was cool.

2017-07-28 18:25:44 +0000 UTCWhy did you want to do a new suggestions now then?
Sara Samaletdin
2017-07-28 16:25:42 +0000 UTCCan we suggest the same thing as before to double its chances?
t.
2017-07-28 12:12:59 +0000 UTCi think the life of Queen Victoria would be good, i could see it becoming as good if not better than the Justinian series.

2017-07-28 11:58:05 +0000 UTCI'm going with Margrete I again. Medival Europe's best statecrafter, who united 3 rival kingdoms in a union that lasted over 100 years (400 for two of them). Not only is she an interesting character in her own right, the first episode would probably have to talk a bit about her father and how he restored Denmark, leading to a nice discussion about the Hansa and their reach. (The Hansa deserve a series of their own too, but just the mention of the merchant guild that could go to war with kingdoms and win is a part of medival history we don't get enough). The discussion about her ascension and especially her succession would also mean exploring the mechanics of elective monarchy, another important aspect of history that often gets left out when we talk about medieval Europe.

2017-07-28 10:13:28 +0000 UTCThank you :) I wasn't sure about the mechanics of the draw.
themunck
2017-07-28 10:08:35 +0000 UTCIt does. There'll be two entries in the drawing pool.
Pavel Yakushevich
2017-07-28 10:05:41 +0000 UTCWill suggesting the same one as I did back in July make it more likely to be picked, or should I pick a new one?
themunck
2017-07-28 08:49:26 +0000 UTCI nominated the Chu-Han Contention (incidentally one of my frequent suggestions from way back when this series started).
Brian Rose
2017-07-28 08:31:44 +0000 UTCThey will be mixed together!

2017-07-28 06:57:29 +0000 UTCPersonally, I would like to see what the truth behind the Sawney Bean myth is. Be a wonderful Halloween special.
Bright Ops
2017-07-28 06:21:16 +0000 UTCSo, will these suggestions be mixed in with the ones made back at the start of July, or will there be two separate drawings?

2017-07-28 04:22:03 +0000 UTCHooray! Time to propose Sargon of Akkad: The First Army, The First Empire again! =)
