Wasn't there going to be further elaboration on the new ordeal here, Burn?

Yeah, but if the turn is going to host around 2-3 am in the morning, I'm not going stay awake until that moment just to post something in the interwebs. These things come with certain delays.

On another note, I added Conquest Point tally up in the first post.

->
Before turn 20, each one of you must vote for an another nation. You are free to vote whoever you want and whatever criteria you want to use (a'k'a you can sell your vote for the highest bitter, buy them, strongarm other players for them "Vote me or else!", etc...). Following rules and prices apply for the voting:

->
Any player who still is in the game can vote, but a player who is not in control of his capital is not eligble for a win.
->
Players can also "court" me to boost their vote count, but this counts as a request for a boon. (a'k'a you can trade your boon request for this ordeal for a single vote for you) -> NOTE that doing this does NOT count as your vote, you still need to vote for an another player.
->
If a player does not cast a vote by turn 20, he will be penalized by two boons from his boon count.

The prices for the Ordeal are as follows (ties are broken by the boon count of the nations in question):

1st place: Mantle of the Divine Servant (very powerful magical item, gold, gems and the ability to see the boon count of each nation upon request)
2nd place: Treasure of the Lord of the Rings (magical items, gold)
3rd place: Legacy of the Hoburg Hero (magical items)

Likely a misunderstanding, let me clarify. When I say "capital" I mean the fortress in your capital province. If your capital is under siege, you are still in control of your capital and can still get the rewards for this ordeal.

This rule was implemented to prevent no-brainer "vote dumping" to the nation that is likely to be gone by turn 25. I mean, you need to have access to a laboratory in order to get the items and to get use out of the gems that are rewarded. If the top prize would just almost automatically go to the guy with one province left, it would render the whole voting process and all of the politicing involved pretty meaningless.

Of course, as per rules stand, you can dumb your vote to a nation that's obviously a goner, but if that nation is not eligble for the win on turn 21 when the votes are counted, the win might go to the nation that you *really* don't want to win.
