With the amount of entries and such, there's likely a possibility for error somewhere in someone's data so comparing notes will probably be helpful. I have 39 entries with the latest posts and only one tie for first with one other w/i 2 votes.

Armenian/Hindu Coloneia




Both Armenians and Hindus make use of the swastika and the colours red, white and black in conjunction. Hopefully I've avoided making this look too similar to another, similarly coloured national emblem.

Edit: Made two more, with a potentially less controversial design. Both have Lord Garuda, though it's a bit blurry.

Some more dumb statistics since the vote is over
(note: I think I literally one question off from Kangxi's results, but it affects nothing. There's an A in my results in Q5 that should be a C but idk where it is and gently caress looking for it.

Gross favoritism:
Here's the gross totals of A/B/C choices:
A - 196
B - 167
C - 198
(should be 195/199 instead)
C was pretty much the favorite response of everyone except for very early on and for a period of 5 votes near the end.

Efficiency:
Counting the tie for each response, A won 5 times with an average of 39.2 votes per victory. C won the same amount, but needed 39.6 votes per victory. B won thrice with 55.7 votes per victory making it a failure in multiple ways.

Unquestionable:
Q5 had the largest gap between 1st and 3rd with a 29 person difference (should be 28). Q5 also had the largest gap between 1st and 2nd. As the vote progressed, Q5 flew ahead early and never stopped.

Highly Contentious:
Otoh, Q3 was always in a tight race and the biggest gap was 3 points between. There were 8 points throughout the vote where they were in a 3-way tie.

Less contentious:
Besides the Tie, Q1 had its 1st and 2nd choices off by 1 vote
Q6, 9, and 11 were next closest with a 2 vote difference. Q9 and Q11's choices were all 2 votes apart from each other while Q6 was more a two way race between B and C.

Personal Biases:
Two people picked the same letter 7 times. One of those was for B, one was for A.12 people picked the same letter 6 times. Everyone voted for every letter at least once

Who to blame?
Throughout the vote, there were a number of two way ties, but the very end eliminated all of them and restored the 3 way tie. Chatrapti broke a tie for Q1 but restored the 3 way tie.

If there's any dumb stats things people want to ask, I can try to answer it.
