Hooray! Time to propose Sargon of Akkad: The First Army, The First Empire again! =)

Jorlem

So, will these suggestions be mixed in with the ones made back at the start of July, or will there be two separate drawings?

Bright Ops

Personally, I would like to see what the truth behind the Sawney Bean myth is. Be a wonderful Halloween special.

Brian Rose

I nominated the Chu-Han Contention (incidentally one of my frequent suggestions from way back when this series started).

Will suggesting the same one as I did back in July make it more likely to be picked, or should I pick a new one?

I'm going with Margrete I again. Medival Europe's best statecrafter, who united 3 rival kingdoms in a union that lasted over 100 years (400 for two of them). Not only is she an interesting character in her own right, the first episode would probably have to talk a bit about her father and how he restored Denmark, leading to a nice discussion about the Hansa and their reach. (The Hansa deserve a series of their own too, but just the mention of the merchant guild that could go to war with kingdoms and win is a part of medival history we don't get enough). The discussion about her ascension and especially her succession would also mean exploring the mechanics of elective monarchy, another important aspect of history that often gets left out when we talk about medieval Europe.

i think the life of Queen Victoria would be good, i could see it becoming as good if not better than the Justinian series.

Can we suggest the same thing as before to double its chances?

Pavel Yakushevich

Barbary Wars. Founding fathers were fighting islamic terrorism before it was cool.

General Luigi

Time of Troubles. So much scheming...

Steve Jackson

Is this the suggest round for a whole six episode series or just a one off episode???

Cooolooo: yes, you absolutely can! Sara: We run these every month because rewards are on a monthly schedule, but we can't run polls every month because then we'd have a monstrous backlog of series as each one takes 7 weeks to air. Some folks, like Cooolooo, use the multiple suggestion windows to increase the odds of their choice being picked, while others suggest two options because they don't want to decide between two favorites.

A whole series! Although sometimes they are shorter than six episodes; the usual range is 4-6.

Jorlem

When will this series likely be released? It would be nice to know going forward, so if desired, we could time our suggestions so that they might be relevant to the time of year. For example, a suggestion for a series about or touching on the history behind a holiday would be nice to have come out near that holiday.

Gonna add your vote to Margrete as well this month, Christina? My arguments for why she's a good pick are mostly the ones you made on the last poll.

I decided to split to give two of my favored topics a chance each and went with the Jurchen, the people who'd later change their name to the Manchu, this time. They're quite interesting and most of the time get reduced to a footnote that makes understanding late imperial Chinese history more confusing. I want to give them a chance in the spotlight.

Jason Fox

Just to increase its chances, I'm doubling down on the subject of Louis Riel.

General Luigi

Monday, July 30? Did you mean Monday, July 31 or Sunday, July 30?

zanmato

I was 8 hours late. Woops. XD
