Nope, but thanks for asking! 
Since Churchill is my only nominee left, I’ll try to protect him by splitting my vote only two ways this time:
Isabella – 5
Umar – 5
The votes:
Otto von Bismarck - 9
Asoka - 8
Isabella I of Castille - 8
Elizabeth I, Muhammad, Umar - 5 each
Saladin - 4
Alexander the Great, Winston Churchill - 3 each
The top three are now gone. That leaves:
Alexander the Great - Macedonian conqueror, emperor
Caesar Augustus - Founded Roman Empire
Gaius Julius Caesar - Roman dictator, general
Winston Churchill - British wartime inspiration
Cyrus the Great - Great, benevolent conqueror
Elizabeth I of England - Shrewd, determined queen
Frederick II - Ruled 1700s Prussia
Hammurabi - First written laws
Abraham Lincoln - Won Civil War
Muhammad - United all Arabia
Nebuchadnezzar II - Babylon’s greatest ruler
Rameses II - Egypt’s greatest pharaoh
Peter the Great - Modernized, expanded Russia
Saladin - Muslim leader, warrior
Qin Shi Huang - Unified China emperor
Umar - Expanded Islamic empire
George Washington - First U.S. president
The current round of voting will end on Weds. June 23 at noon EST.
Same rules as the previous rounds: ten votes per player, no more than five against any single leader, etc.
Washington and Peter the Great both get 5 points.
Saladin 5
Churchill 5
Elizabeth I of England - 5
Nebuchadnezzar II - 5
I’m surprised to see I’m the only one holding a grudge over the Captivity in Babylon.
Nebuchadnezzar II - Babylon’s greatest ruler - 5
Umar - Expanded Islamic empire - 5
I’ll echo both of these votes.
septimus, what’s your beef against the Virgin Queen?
I’ve no beef against her, just find her overrated. (And let’s pass on the debate over whether she really was a virgin! :rolleyes: )
Considering just Monarchs of England, those greater than Elizabeth include Alfred, Henry II, William the Bastard, and probably a few others including Elizabeth’s own father! (Indeed one compliment paid her is that with her will-power, “she was her father’s daughter”.)
I realize she’s considered very influential but the Civil War just a few decades later had more effect on English politics. I’m not good at alternate history but had she not reigned, England and Scotland would have been joined in personal union sooner, probably Protestant (despite Mary), and strong enough militarily that the Spanish would never have attempted invasion in 1588.
Still hanging around:
Umar – 5
Checking in:
Peter the Great – 5
5 - Washington
5 - Alexander
Churchill - 5
Nebuchadnezzar II - 5 - The most formidable ruler of his day, but victim of dynastic failure, as the Chaldeans went down ~23 years after his death to the even more successful Cyrus. Babylonian culture remained hugely influential, even dominant, in the region for centuries thereafter, but we can’t really lay that to Nebuchadnezzar’s credit.
Nebuchadnezzar II - 4
Umar - 4
Washington - 1
Peter the Great - 1
Not a good round to be an ancient king. The votes:
Nebuchadnezzar II - 24
Umar - 19
Peter the Great - 11
George Washington - 11
Winston Churchill - 10
Alexander the Great, Elizabeth I, Saladin - 5
The top two are now gone. That leaves:
Alexander the Great - Macedonian conqueror, emperor
Caesar Augustus - Founded Roman Empire
Gaius Julius Caesar - Roman dictator, general
Winston Churchill - British wartime inspiration
Cyrus the Great - Great, benevolent conqueror
Elizabeth I of England - Shrewd, determined queen
Frederick II - Ruled 1700s Prussia
Hammurabi - First written laws
Abraham Lincoln - Won Civil War
Muhammad - United all Arabia
Rameses II - Egypt’s greatest pharaoh
Peter the Great - Modernized, expanded Russia
Saladin - Muslim leader, warrior
Qin Shi Huang - Unified China emperor
George Washington - First U.S. president
The current round of voting will end on Fri. June 25 at noon EST.
Same rules as the previous rounds: ten votes per player, no more than five against any single leader, etc.
5 - Washington
5 - Alexander the Geat
Continuing to beat the same 2 horses:
Churchill 5
Saladin 5
Just a suggestion, but to help avoid evenly split votes (like mine above), perhaps you might institute a rule that you can’t allocate the same number of votes to more than one candidate? Exception would be allocation of 1 vote. So you could have (5,3,1,1) but not (3,3,3,1)
Winston Churchill - 4
Frederick II - 4
Elizabeth I of England - 2
Hammurabi - 2
Frederick II - 3
Elizabeth I - 5
You ask why I oppose the Virgin Queen? I’m astonished by the opposite question: She’s outlasted Alfred the Great, Bolivar, Charlemagne, Gandhi, Nebuchadnezzar II, etc. :dubious: 
(There are 2 or 3 leaders I’m pleasantly surprised to see still around. I won’t name names as it’s sure to jinx them. 
)
Held over for at least two more days:
Peter the Great – 5
Returning after a few rounds’ absence:
Frederick II – 5
