I dunno, I don't think the poll is ridiculous at all. Perhaps though, GM, you could change the 1-44 thing to 1-10+, so that one can rate from 1-44 if they like, but need only choose their top ten if they so prefer.

Done. Now a scale of 1 to X, X being any number you choose. Is that what you wanted Ceph?

As long as it shows us exactly what is demanded.
Now, where can we check the results?

Rating towns is now easier - no need to order them, just use your own marking system (you are not restricted to one town per number). Cepheus, Daystar, JoonasTo, emilsn, you are welcome to revote, just post here if you want to.
Sorry for the trouble.

Water elves have been hinted at IIRC.
Results will be left until the end, so as not to influence you. However I will say that, after 6 votes, the current number of towns in HC's HoMM6 is 10.

New voting system is much better.
Suppose system normalizes to max score by itself, right?

@Alc - I'm not sure what to do here, atm scores will be scaled so that all user's averages are equal - unless you have a better idea...
@Daystar - I can't submit for you, you'll have to do it again I'm afraid.

@Mamga - you can vote again.
@Lexxan - all your votes should be numerical, you need to revote.
"X" is not an option! Sorry that obviously isn't clear.

Well, from a Mathematical point of view, as I see it, it makes most sense to normalize scores to max score. For instance, Daystar ranke between 1 and 9, which means a faction receiving 9 from him get's +1, whereas a faction that get's only 1 get's +0.11.
One could also make a floor - hence, since 1 is minimum, we might subtract one from the rating, so that:
SCORE = (RATING - 1)/(MAX - 1)
I.e. in above case, a faction scoring 1 will add 0, one scoring 9 will add 1, and one scoring 4 will add 3/8 = 0.375.
Finally results should be calculated as average score: SUM(SCORES) / #(PARTICIPANTS).
That's just my bet - however, such a procedure might cause artifacts: Some people don't understand the meaning of distributing ratings evenly - they might give something they REALLY like a score of 100, and then rate all the rest between, say, 1 and 10. This will cause the normalization to be 99, which means that basically all factions get effective ratings around 0 and 1 on a 10-point scale.
Still, I think the normalization method makes most sense mathematically.

I gave my top 20
I want 12 factions
these:
Humans (+ angels, but ithout griffins)
Undead (typical line-up)
High-Elves (typical line-up)
Dark-Elves (a cross between h3 and h5 Dungeon towns)
Demons (Similar to H5, but with some changes in level)
Wizards (Similar to h5, Only changes are Halfling/Gremlin and Rakshasa/Sphinx)
Half-Elves (let me design this one  )
Lizardmen (Lizards, but also Gnolls, Gremlins and Harpies)
Orcs (Like H5 Stronghold)
Dwarves (Similar to h5, but with dominat Scandinavian influences)
Insectoids (An Idea of Xerox, that I really like. Must have Mantis, Waspworth and Dragonfly)
Faceless (Like Baklava designed them)
These are nice but are not in my fav list:
Dragon Knights, Gnomes and Inventors.

@Alc - maybe we need to have a discussion on that later on. I sat here earlier for some time wondering how to do it and came up with no satisfactory answer.
12 votes!!! Thanks all. Number of towns still stands at 10.
