  Rate the factions
 
Yes, another poll. Unlike my Castle poll, this is a rate the faction, not rank the faction. Rate just the minifigs from each series, not the actual sets. (URL) (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) is usually very faction-specific. Bruce (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Rate the factions
 
(...) Interesting-- most themes I rated pretty similarly to the voters (so far-- of course that means only 12 voters at the moment), the two big exceptions being Crusaders and Wolfpack. I was less than 1 point away from the "actual" vote when rating (...) (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Rate the factions
 
(...) My votes were a little off the main, because I tended to vote "generic-looking" higher and "theme-specific" lower. I also have a weird bias in that themes with proper heraldry got rated higher in my vote. ;) James (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Rate the factions
 
(...) Most of mine were very different from the results. Part of that probably comes from that fact that I rated Fright Knights high due to two of the soldiers, which are pretty much my favorites. :) I'm suprised Royal Knights is so low, actually... (...)

  Re: Rate the factions
 
(...) Dunno about other folks, but I voted them low because of the goofy grinning lion. What is the heraldric term for that, anyway - "A lion, sedated"? ;p James (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

Wolfpack represent! They be my boyz. Top rating. They deserve so much more. e. (...) (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Rate the factions
 
(...) I love the single soldier fig (grey w/ fleur-de-lis print), and the other black w/ plate mail fig. But Willa, the batlord helmet, and especially the silly bat-shield emblem made me downgrade it a bit. The torsos and faces have good potential (...) (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Rate the factions
 
(...) delibrately go through giving everything a zero and your favorite a 10 just to make it look good. I can tell when you have done it (and since I'm posting this, guess what someone has done). Bruce (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Rate the factions
 
(...) This is indeed a problem. I noticed this quite a while back with set ratings, too. Someone went through and rated just about all the classic castle sets "0". Now, given that there were at least 50 votes or so for each set, it didn't affect the (...) (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Rate the factions
 
(...) I thought people would find it a pain to rank that many factions and keep track of where they placed them. Further, I thought ranking might create some artificially large gaps. Perhaps the rating option needs a "No opinion" or perhaps the (...) (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Rate the factions
 
(...) You needed to have one more faction: Star Wars figs. Of course, this isn't a military faction so much as a source of generic civilian torsos. Bruce (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Rate the factions
 
(...) I rather like the Fright Knights figs. Yes, the bat-wing helmets are a little goofy, but these guys: (URL) all good generic soldiers. Even the bat-wing guys if you swap in different helmets. Bruce (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)
