I cast my vote as it was clear that the “High Command” video was more suited for your type of presentation. I’ve noticed that you skipped the reintroduction of the “Overview” proposal but tried to reintroduce for a third time the Bestiary. … Why do I get the feeling that you really want to produce Bestiary but get frustrated by the Poll’s decision? As I said, it’s just a feeling. IMO, the reason why people did not choose the Bestiary is probably because that a lot of Bestiaries already exist across the net… If you want to do Bestiary files, do so but do it a bit differently than the rest … by included the whole ecology that gave birth to such a creature and why it came to fit that particular niche in that ecosystem. This kind of file (with perhaps a PDF file of their stats) could be useful for whoever wants to try their hands at world-building. Another recommendation would be to produce the “Overview” as an entry point for all of your files. From my own experience, some sci-fi universes can be a bit too much to get into due to their complexity (IE Warhammer 40,000) … so an overview file of a particular universe could help the people who are unfamiliar with it a chance to take a look and see if they want to proceed any further … or not. Out of the last four choices, the Audiolog was the one I thought as “boring”. Mostly because if I want to listen to an audio file, I go get a podcast. To make it more pleasing, you should add a few images (5 or 6) that will change as you progress in your presentation, to help you separate the sequences. If I take your last file on Wing Commander, a few images could have been used to emphases your chronology by providing snapshots of those areas (if possible). Aside this minor complaint, try to keep the Audiolog because it can provide you with a canvas for all of the books and comics that have not yet been sent to the big or small screen. As for the Rivalry, sorry, it just did not catch my attention enough and it looks to me that you already cover those facts throughout your regular files. Also, Rivalry works best with two antagonists but become quite difficult to manage when you have to deal with 3 or more factions that each compete with each other (Games of Throne anyone?). Keep it simple and it will go better. On the Debate files, this is the one I thought as the most interesting and original … but was too cumbersome to implement in the format you choose from. The best way, if you want to revisit that concept, start by a poll on Patreon then, a week later, you do your debate and ask for a vote then. BTW, your debate on Battletech vs Tank was awesome and I hope to see more of it like that. Lastly, a suggestion: you should convert some of your files into a PDF format a bit like what you did when you presented your Stellaris Invicta project. I was thinking of a 1–2 pages file that summarizes the fact laid out in your other presentations. The best candidates for this would be “Dossier” and your regular file presentations. I believe this suggestion can really add to the quality of your work. Thank you

2018-10-23 14:09:15 +0000 UTCI may be a lone naysayer here but Audio Log was my least favorite. I love the concept and you guys do an absolutely excellent job at reporting on a world we'd otherwise not hear about but personally, without some sort of visual stimuli it had real problems keeping my attention. I fully admit this is probably more a failing on my part. Either way, another vote for the awesome High Command.

2018-10-23 00:13:34 +0000 UTCI did not really like high command, but maybe it was the wrong battle for me to introduce it with.

2018-10-22 19:44:12 +0000 UTCHated Bestiary. Really wanted Audio Log but High Command is too good so it gets my vote. if you might do occasional episodes of some of the other pilots I hope you consider Debates from the last Pilot Week. I understand that topics are hard to come up with but he Battle Mechs debate was great. How about the usefulness of space fighters in combat?

2018-10-21 18:21:42 +0000 UTCAll of these were really good but rivalries gets my vote. The audio log was a close 2nd. I'm currently world building space nations and the 2 I'm working on are in conflict with one another.

2018-10-20 13:58:57 +0000 UTCI thought I was going to vote Audio Log. Then I thought Space Godzilla had won me over. But High Command was too great.

2018-10-20 08:08:40 +0000 UTCIt's the last pilot week! We may do an episode from time to time, so they won't be gone forever, but they won't be regulars. Choose wisely!

2018-10-20 03:43:20 +0000 UTCWill the losers be up for vote again in the future? Because this is a very hard decision.
