Well in the end, it would appear my actions were futile. My attempts to become the most disliked wonder have failed! Ave Maria! Before they shut this forum topic down, I wish to share a quick story with you:

The author of this news page post, Noahs Second Country, appears to also be SecoNd beSt card colleCtor; they were the nation that founded Two Bad. They stole the most disliked nation spot from my wonder, Orcuo. But *then they also* used the fact that they were the most disliked wonder to include themselves into the post:

“These numbers disregard the early portions of our reporting due to an unruly builder throwing a block of silver at our chief statistician, resulting in a bit of amnesia and Two Bad becoming the most disliked wonder”
_{(This text can be found under the "Top 10 resource contributors" table.)}

And the thing is, I worked on a genius strategy to achieve my goal. I knew I couldn’t use my puppets alone, so I had to come up with a different way to become the most disliked wonder. Thankfully, I had an idea!

• First, use my puppets to elevate me to the most liked wonder
• Next, people would obviously start down voting it, I had to let the downvotes get to at least 0 for my plan to work successfully.
• Then, I changed my puppets’ upvotes to downvotes; effectively doubling what I had in likes!
• Finally, I just had to use my puppets to upvote any other wonder to get them from reaching the spot.

The plan was foolproof! Unfortunately, I didn’t make it Noah-proof. Just my luck.

Anyway, thanks to everyone that helped Orcuo during the contest. We managed to get my main to 2nd place for the most disliked wonder! Plus, some of y’all actually donated resources. So thank you to all that contributed!

Orcuo out.

Hi, a couple of clarifications:

1. My initial draft of the news post when the event was ending did not feature Two Bad. However, I was advised to point out the winners of each category, regardless of their importance. I was not trying to shoehorn myself into the post, it already has my name on it at the top. While I may use the number two more frequently than most, I was not trying to draw attention to myself, hence why I used it as a convenient way to point out that a couple of the stats were inaccurate in a small font. Generally, this was the briefest possible mention while still noting the winner of the category.

2. I did not steal anything from you. While I had insider information on recipes, other leaderboards, and so on, the 'disliked' leaderboard is very obviously the number of upvotes - downvotes, inverted. Thus, I did not act on any sort of unfair or secret information to end up as the most disliked wonder. Frankly I did the same thing as you, but with less effort and a few more puppets. This isn't nefarious or unfair in any way.

3. My wonder also featured more unique downvotes than yours regardless, I stopped well above the -622 number that it eventually settled to. It turns out that people are more inclined to downvote heavily downvoted items than downvote upvoted items.

Just for clarification, I did respond to this. Me and Noah has a series of posts that I’ll link below:

I am still left with more questions than answers, such as how many puppets they used and who told them to include the most disliked wonder in the news page post; though these won’t be answered as Noah wishes to end the discussion. I will leave the public with this information, so they may view it for themselves. Once again, thanks to all that helped with Orcuo during the 7 Wonders event! Ciao!
