Try finding at least one to not vote for; even if you love all of them, and even if you can't pick a favorite...

2017-06-01 06:10:42 +0000 UTCEven if you can't pick a favorite, and even if they all look good, I would still try to see if at least one of them not to vote for; otherwise, yeah it pretty much does make the vote meaningless.
Brian Rose
2017-06-01 06:08:07 +0000 UTCWell no it doesn't. It's basically because we cannot choose a Favourite out of this lot, hence the decision to Vote for all of them.

2017-05-31 07:55:02 +0000 UTCI need a moment to think about this. I don't really know anything about any of these and they're all well off the beaten path, which makes them interesting and worthwhile as far as I'm concerned. I think I might skip Boleslav since early medieval kingdom founders generally interest me less than late medieval and renaissance state builders. Probably just my modern day bias speaking and not understanding the greatness of medieval kingdoms.

2017-05-30 22:12:03 +0000 UTCI do remember that! It's why I kind of don't want him to win (see comment below)
Brian Rose
2017-05-30 20:09:10 +0000 UTCJust going by a glance at Wikipedia, I think focusing on the 12th and/or 13th Centuries would be a good place to start.
Brian Rose
2017-05-30 20:05:57 +0000 UTCAs cool as he may be, I'm kind of hoping Khosrow doesn't win, since he was already touched on back in the Justinian and Theodora series; other parts of history (like Poland and Southest Asia) need love too.
Brian Rose
2017-05-30 20:04:13 +0000 UTCYou guys do realize voting for everyone makes your vote meaningless?
Pavel Yakushevich
2017-05-30 19:20:18 +0000 UTCDon't know any of these people, but the title "A Master Class in Trolling" has my interest piqued.

2017-05-30 17:10:26 +0000 UTCKhosrow is too close to Europe for my tastes. I'd worry about having another Suleiman situation on our hands, with the crew writing about a non-European from a decidedly Eurocentric POV. With the Khmer Empire, there's less of a risk of that happening.
Peter Melling
2017-05-30 17:03:53 +0000 UTCMan, it's really a tight matchup between Khosrow and the Khmer. Literally 1 vote away from each other by the time I voted.
Moarice
2017-05-30 16:59:54 +0000 UTCAs much as Khostow sounds awesome, here's hoping on going a bit further afield.
Kieran Elliott
2017-05-30 16:34:55 +0000 UTCFingers crossed someone recommends Michael Collins or William Wallace one day (lol)
David May
2017-05-30 15:19:47 +0000 UTCMe too!
Lou Hartman
2017-05-30 14:07:32 +0000 UTCWoo, my topic about the Khmer empire for chosen ^^ but good round overall, happy with all these choices :)
William Warren
2017-05-30 13:00:28 +0000 UTCI guess I'm just still too salty over Emperor Valerian to vote for the Sassanids
Michael Waisfeld
2017-05-30 10:51:47 +0000 UTCHmm, such a great choice. I think I'll vote for all of them and hope we get a four way tie! Sorry, EC, but we really want all of them!
SparkyDJM1
2017-05-30 09:20:09 +0000 UTCSo too did I, because hopefully that way I will avoid the disappointment of backing the losing Horse again. [again I don't mean my real Horse; old Dolly is a bit long in the Tooth now and does everything in One of Three speeds: Slow, slower, and stop. It's an expression.] That and I've really wanted an Indian Extra History since I joined Patreon. It's a pity I didn't get around to updating my PURR-ledge in the End. 😉
Martin Verran
2017-05-30 08:35:08 +0000 UTCFor once I voted for ALL OF THEM.
Antti Björklund

Catherine Elizabeth Merkley
2017-05-30 05:12:09 +0000 UTClet trolling prosper!
Adam Conner
2017-05-30 04:50:11 +0000 UTCCmon Khusrow, I want to learn about the Sassanid Persians and learn how to troll the Byzantine empire at the same time!
Mornathel
2017-05-30 04:35:27 +0000 UTCI'm still surprised that Fredrick der Grosse (Fredrick the Second)of Prussia is still being passed over, but someone being called 'The Grand Old Man of India' sounds VERY interesting to say the least.
Aaron Neumann
2017-05-30 04:02:41 +0000 UTCMan. This one's hard. I think for the first time I'm actually going "All of them!"
Nessf
2017-05-30 02:51:30 +0000 UTCAll of these are great! I love learning about topics outside of European history, so seeing so many featured here is really exciting for me!
Colin
2017-05-30 02:49:15 +0000 UTCC'mere and vote for Khmer.
MrBreaksIt
2017-05-30 02:29:41 +0000 UTCKhosrow really does deserve his own series. Here's to the philosopher king!
Shaun Hentchel
2017-05-30 02:23:25 +0000 UTCKhmer because I was curious when mentioned in 'The History of the World, I guess '
theanimangagirl
2017-05-30 02:21:34 +0000 UTCAlthough that is a long time to cover.
Alex Purchase
2017-05-30 02:13:50 +0000 UTCCome on Khmer empire. I know nothing about it but would love to learn.
Alex Purchase
2017-05-30 02:11:14 +0000 UTCFor those who haven't seen Justinian part II check it out. Khosrow getting his own series would be awesome
Jim Land
2017-05-30 01:50:10 +0000 UTCI don't know any of these people... I'd love to learn about them all!
William Lao
2017-05-30 01:48:19 +0000 UTCHmmmmm, such a tricky choice! They all sound good.
Christopher Smith
2017-05-30 01:45:33 +0000 UTCBruh, trolling. Keep it on the list even if it doesn't win.
KHMakerD
2017-05-30 01:45:23 +0000 UTCSouth and Southeast Asia are finally on the list! #deathtoeurocentrism
