If people voted for him, regardless of whether it's accurate or not, they get the points.

Same here. You are trying to predict the most popular answer, not provide an honest opinion

that's probably why Harry Potter won as well

Who the hell sez I lost touch with reality? Why, as soon as I'm done making the final touches on my perpetual motion machine, I'm going to put on my tinfoil hat and kick some 'polytoner ass!

That's been pointed out. There's nothing wrong with choosing bush, because the object isn't to give your opinion, but rather to give the opinion you believe the most other people will give, maximizing your score.

Yeah. I suppose I vastly "overestimated the intellect of my fellow Apolytoners". Should have learned from previous times that that simply doesn't work.

So... who of you voted GWB because you thought that the 20th century is the same as the 2000's, and who of you voted GWB because you thought there'd be many asses... erm, people voting him because they don't know what "20th century" really means?

Step out so I can verbally attack you.

Oh and The Guide is better than Harry Potter. This is a scientifically proven fact.

Oh, and congrats to Immortal Wombat, who I believe is the first one in the history of the game to win twice.

I cannot imagine anyone actually thought the 2000s are part of the 20th century

people just think they're still in the 20th century.

Damn! You people cannot remember CivNation? What bums! And Harry Porter? You cannot vote for Harry Porter anyway, there are now five of them. Like you can't vote for LotR as the best book, because it's not a single book.
