CCC species voting - RESULTS ARE IN
CCC species voting - RESULTS ARE IN
OK, voting is open on species! [Closed at end of Tuesday 2/11]
We have 14 entrants, counting the default Humans. Please vote for the dominant species; you can supply up to five species, in ranked order. Please use the member's name (boldfaced below).
The winner will be the dominant species. My idea for how this will work is that when people start a culture in the next round, they specify the species. They can always use their own species if they submitted one; but they can only choose another species depending on its votes. E.g. if species X gets two votes, no more than two cultures can start with it; if it gets ten votes, up to 10 people can use it.
Optionally, give a second ranking for coolest species. The idea here is that you may find some of the species not so good for a conworld, but you want to salute the author's creativity. There may be some special reward for the winner-- perhaps the ability to leave ruins from an earlier buried epoch of civilization.
A complication: two people submitted the Sexies. I've counted them as two species. If Handsome Rob and Hydroeccentricity both agree, they can combine them.
Below I've provided reminder summaries for each entrant, but please read the original threadto see the full description!

Re: CCC species voting - THRU MON 2/11
Oh, no!
When I described the Sexies, I was talking about the same species as Handsome Rob. I would've asked his permission, but I figured his entry was pretty tongue in cheek so I didn't think it was necessary. Since no one has voted for both so far, could we combine the entries and just collapse the votes for each into one species?

The world is made of many ideas,
The hopes and dreams of the weak and wondrous.
They meld and twist from what they were,
And give us the mess surrounding us.
