Before you start posting irrelevant comments in an inappropriate thread, you should look at how these polls were conducted in the past, in previous years.
But, by the way, in this specific case, I somehow think that the CIS vote won't result in a 1/3 outcome. Merlin is right to stir things up about the deadlines. Faster, faster! Tickets, tickets! He's right about that. And he's not the only one saying it! But there probably won't be any problems with the voting. If Korolev brings the application to a good standard, he has a good chance of winning. All the objective factors (that come to my mind) are in his favor:
- Moscow hasn't hosted the CIS event before (the principle of different locations)
- Location on the CIS map, ease of access (transport hub and all that)
- Size of the city and entertainment prospects (it's basically Moscow)
- Estimated price
- The organizer's personality.
Even as a person who wants (based on my own ideas) everything to be good in the Heroes community, I would like such an option to at least have a real chance.
