Almost my sentiments:
Hammurabi - 2
Muhammad - 3
:smack:
3 - Washington
and I’ll switch my remaining votes
2 - Mohammed.
The votes:
Abraham Lincoln - 11
Muhammad - 9
Hammurabi - 6
Alexander the Great - 3
George Washington - 3
Rameses II - 2
The Great Emancipator now, once again, belongs to the ages. That leaves:
Alexander the Great - Macedonian conqueror, emperor
Caesar Augustus - Founded Roman Empire
Cyrus the Great - Great, benevolent conqueror
Hammurabi - First written laws
Muhammad - United all Arabia
Rameses II - Egypt’s greatest pharaoh
Qin Shi Huang - Unified China emperor
George Washington - First U.S. president
The current round of voting will end on Mon. July 5 at noon EST. Same rules as in the previous round: Five votes per player, with no more than three cast against any single leader.
Happy Independence Day to you all!
Hammurabi - 2
George Washington - 3
Hammurabi - 2
Muhammad - 3
After Lincoln’s untimely demise (echoing that of 1865), I’ll just reprise my vote of the last round:
Hammurabi – 3
Muhammad – 2
Alexander 3
Hammurabi 2
Quite possibly Hammur time, sadly.
Muhammad - 3
Qin Shi Huang - 2
3 - Washington
2 - Mohammed
Forgot to ask earlier: what are the merits of Caesar Augustus’s and Gaius Julius Caesar’s claims to be the greatest national leader of Rome?
Julius - massive conquests in Spain and France, Rome’s greatest general, Triumvir, civil reform, laid the foundations for his nephew. Without Julius, there would have been no Augustus.
Augustus - ended 100 years of civil ‘competition’, introduced the Imperium, stabilised the Empire - meaning the whole of the Med - and reorganised Roman government, became Emperor. He ushered in an age the effects of which are with us today.
Which is the greater depends upon how you value generalship.
Might be too late…
Washington - 3
Ramses II - 2 - I’m stubborn.
The votes:
Muhammad - 10
Hammurabi - 9
George Washington - 6
Alexander the Great - 3
Qin Shi Huang - 2
Tamerlane, yes, sorry, too late. Please vote in the next round!

Hammurabi - First written laws
Rameses II - Egypt’s greatest pharaoh
Qin Shi Huang - Unified China emperor
George Washington - First U.S. president

Although it has nothing to do with how this game is “scored,” on a whim I compared survivors with their nominators. Two rounds ago, Simplicio was leading with three of the nine finalists due to him. Elindil’s Heir was second with two. Now, with only seven leaders left, Simplicio is still first with two, and there are five tied at one each (Elindil’s Heir, Quartz, Tom Scud, XanderCrews, and the present poster).
(I won’t jinx myself by naming my pony in this race, but am surprised he’s gotten this far. He was whacked early in the 100 Influential Game.)
