Mmmm... very difficult between Mecca, Bangkok and Copenhagen... Let's say

3 Mecca
1 Copenhagen

3 Bangkok
1 Mecca

[big bad fab]

Update the title of your thread, hughento: maybe some people don't come and vote because they think we are still stuck to group 11

[Platypus]

Time's up on this group anyway, so I'll cast my vote and move on and not make the same mistake with the next group

3 points for Bangkok
1 point for Copenhagen

Just to get Mecca out. The way the Saudis have treated it is foul.

Give peace a chance.

[politicus]

3 Istanbul (one of the worlds most interesting cities)
1 Tokyo

[big bad fab]

I agree with politicus vote, but we must be tactical:

3 Tokyo
1 Istanbul

[bore]

3 Tokyo
1 Istanbul

For the same reasons as big bad fab

I didn't like Tel Aviv one bit, unlike the rest of Israel. The city is not the most beautiful but it's not really ugly.
On the other hand I had a good time in Sao Paulo, but the city is pretty f**king horrible.

Istanbul was both great and beautiful, and since I can't decide between the other two cities mentioned above I'll go with Tokyo, which looks interesting enough.

3 for Tokyo
1 for Istanbul

3 Paris
1 Cuzco

[Platypus]

I think our final group is the toughest yet!

3 points to Sydney, so that every continent will be represented in the final stage, and because it really is a beautiful city. Probably the city with the best placement in nature terms in the world.

1 point to...the oldest city on earth? The grand Paris? The Incan mystical capital up in the Andes? Incredibly hard choice, but I think I'll have to go with Paris.

[Nhoj]

3 Cuzco
1 Paris

[politicus]

3 Cuzco
1 Sydney

[big bad fab]

3 Paris

(I often vote against France and French in survivors - very often, in fact - but in the "City-Off", well, Paris deserves to be very, very, very high)

1 Sydney

(well, it's quite hard, but, as I don't want to see Cuzco making it, I should support Sydney over Damascus)

[Edu]

What do you have against Cuzco, Fab? it's a wonderful city.

3 for Cuzco
1 for Paris

[bore]

3 Damascus
1 Paris

[politicus]

This really is a crazy round. Its:

10 Cuzco
10 Paris
5 Sydney
3 Damascus

Kinda regret I didn't give my three points to Sydney. Its a wonderful city and my favourite metropolis. I just thought it would be safe anyway and Cuzco is a great place for a history buff like me (so is Damascus for that matter). Hope some Sydney fans show up and safe it.
Anyway those four cities are all among the worlds 20 most interesting cities IMO.
