This page describes the results of [[hicu-rpg|HICU-RPG]]'s vote on the next mainline campaign the group will play. HICU-RPG chooses campaign to play based on player voting, and since 2021 the candidate campaigns/GMs are determined by an open proposal process. Episodic campaigns are selected separately. In 2025, five campaigns were proposed by three GMs or GM teams:


||Campaign||Setting||GM||
||Usiren||Near-Eastern Fantasy||Bryce & Rachel||
||On the Midnight Star||Modern Fantasy/Horror||Maddie||
||The Anima Mundi||Furry Dieselpunk/RIS||Bryce||
||Where Angels Tread||Scifi/Post Apocalyptic||Maddie||
||Deus Machina||Steampunk Fantasy/Bunworld||Maddie||




== Results ==

||1st Place / Winner|| TBD ||
||2nd Place|| TBD ||
||3rd Place|| TBD ||
||4th Place|| TBD ||
||5th Place|| TBD ||

The voting system used was cloneproof Schwartz sequential dropping, i.e. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_method|Schulze Voting]], which satisfies the Condorcet criterion; in the event of a tie, the tie will be broken by comparing the Borda Count of the candidates.

== Enthusiasm Data ==
This data is about how voters marked their enthusiasm about the proposed campaigns. It is non-binding with respect to campaign choice, but is here for feedback for GM-candidates. (It is the prerogative of a GM candidate to choose to withdraw a candidate campaign from consideration after voting closes, in which case the next runner up would be selected. For example, if a campaign that one or more people says they "would not play" is selected, it would be up to the GM-elect to decide whether or not to withdraw their offering on that basis.)

== Alternate Voting System Results ==

This is non-binding except in the event of a tie, but presented for interest.

=== Borda Count ===


{{{
Borda Count:
0: X 99 (WINNER)
}}}

=== Plurality Vote ===
This "first past the post" system is the one most often used in the US and UK; for more than two candidates it often gives wildly unrepresentative results due to vote splitting.
