BEST ZONE COMPETITION REBOOT: Vote Closed; Imperial City's Out

So I'm rebooting the competition, NOT because of the confusion of some of the voters (because if you don't bother to read, then you deserve to be confused; just sayin') - but because I realized that the previous round format would have taken us down from 39 zones to 34 zones, which wouldn't have helped one bit in making a proper bracket. We want to get down to *32* zones.
NOTE: The title has "Best Zone" in it because this round is a part of the overall competition, which is the Best Zone Competition. However, for this first round's fights, you'll be voting for the worst to winnow out the seven worst zones to get down to an even 32.
So with that said: This round will consist of SEVEN fights - three of them with 5 zones, and four of them with 6 zones. VOTE FOR THE ZONE YOU THINK IS WORST. I even put instructions in the thread title for the people who don't bother to read - who, for the record, are dead to me.
At the end of this literary debacle demonstration of the failure of the education system round, we'll be down to 32 zones, and then we can carry on like normal and shove this down the ol' memory hole.
This fight ends at noon CST (5pm UTC) on November 7th, to give everyone two full days of voting again.

Because we're trying to determine the best zone. What else do you wanna call it?
It's really not confusing, it just requires a tiny bit of reading comprehension.
Anyway SCREW making me do a quest for a skyshard. Bye.
Edit: I accidentally cheated the swear filter and had to edit it?

✭✭✭Clockwork CityWoo robots... NOT. Mechanical things are taking over the real world, why do I want to be in a zone devoid of life? Also, anyone notice how the residents of the Brass Fortress kinda "overlook" that Seht throws them there without a way to get home? Like eating bland goop is normal? So messed up.3 -
hasi✭✭✭✭Imperial City/SewersI don't really like all the Daedra and the different Districts all look very similar to each other, pretty boring. I did appreciate the last Parts of the Main Quest there though.
Oh, and the Sewers smell. Like really bad.😛😂Edited by hasi on 5 November 2019 17:180 -

Number_51✭✭✭✭✭I just can't pick one I like the least, I like them all for various reasons, and there's no real way for me to weigh those very different reasons against each other. I might not even have been able to pick a favorite.
Still think you should let people vote for their favorite and just drop the one with the least votes. Just for the sake of simplifying.1 -

Yeah, it's one of my very favorite places in the game. People get scared off by the PvP part, but it's honestly still largely a ghost town in there, at least on PC NA. Feels like PvE most of the time.SidraWillowsky wrote: »WHY IS THE TITLE "BEST ZONE COMPETITION" THO?! It's confusing! FYI I figured it out the first time, but it was still confusing.

IDK, from the wording it seems like we'd vote for our favorites in a given list and go from there, not vote for our least favorites and determine the best zone from that. It'll get us to the same place, but I'm just saying that I understand why there was some initial confusion based on the post title. Reading the body (even before the bolded, capitalized edits, lol) made it clear though.
And yes, f dat Bleakrock skyshard.

Not that I would want to picnic in the Imperial Sewers, either. But at least fun happens there sometimes.1 -

FWIW you don't have to do the quest, just put on the disguise and go knock on the door to the mine. Easily fooled minion will let you in.2 -

✭Bleakrock IsleI kinda like all of the list and I feel bad for ditching Bleakrock 'cause it was my first zone. :'( But I guess I'll choose it.1 -

✭Bleakrock IsleBleakrock is ... bleak. And rocky. And has way too much snow for my taste. I don't like snow, it's cold and wet!
All in all, the zone just doesn't make me feel welcome.
I like the Rift with its autumn vibes. Perfect for taking a stroll.
I like Imperial City along with its sewers, because it's Imperial City. Makes me feel future-nostalgic and pine for Itius Hayn, the best Imperial City guard captain ever.
Hew's Bane is a place where I'd like to spend my RL vacations (I'd watch my pockets, of course).
Clockwork City is so wonderfully golden ... I love the light, the metal trees and pretty much everything else. Plus, it also is food for my nostalgia (and everything looks so much better nowadays .. I mean in the past).PC EU.

Zephiran23✭✭✭✭Hew's BaneInsect swarms were annoying in Craglorn so they decided to add some more. Wayshrines located in places you don't need to go - ie not near set crafting sites or inconveniently located outside the city for when you don't have a bounty1

✭✭Bleakrock IsleBleakrock isle is the worst of this batch for me. Nothing to do there after completing the story quests, it's town is in perpetual fire and lore wise it came out of nowhere and is placed on the place of landmass that should contain Blacklight. It always annoyed me.
Sadly it seems that Imperial City Sewers will "win" this round. I really like that zone, it's the only place that can feel scary in this game. Traversing the tunnels in close quarters when you never know if you'd run into enemy players around the corner can be really thrilling. IC up top is too open and to easy to get back into, the sewers are the place where you can find some real action."I bear the cruel weight of certainty. Total, absolute, relentless certainty. People rarely comprehend the luxury of doubt... the freedom that comes with indecision. I envy you."

✭The RiftI voted for the wrong zone, because I am a nincompoop.
If it comes down to one vote, please note that I do NOT vote for The Rift, to be worst zone.
Instead I vote for Imperial City/Sewers.1
