So a bit of twiddling and reflecting on some feedback - and thinking about making these upper placing as representative as possible I've rejigged the voting and the previous 20 - 17th votes are null and void - sorry folks BUT those who wish to (why oh why) get another chance to vote for City of the Damned and push it even higher up the rankings!... or do at least some justice to The Cursed Earth...

I'll close voting first thing Saturday 10th April
All links go through to AlexF's simply brilliant Dredd Epics Ranked (https://dreddepicsranked.blogspot.com/) blog. You may need to scroll to find his write up of a particular story - but I'd suggest just reading the whole thing anyway - it's fantastic stuff.
Baffled by what's going on here - well we have a a thread for that (https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?topic=47367.0) - though that might leave you more confused than anything.
Rules (https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?topic=47367.msg1053448#msg1053448) for what they are worth.
Not sure about anything just ask and I'll blag it.

3. The Small House

Can't decide on a 3rd, so rather than dilute the vote for my top two I'll leave it there.

2. Titan/ Enceladus
3. The Cursed Earth
SBT
City of the Dammed - now endorsed by PJ Holden no less

What does it take to make you lot not vote for City of the Damned.
I sometimes think if I did one of my nonsense votes for which is the best:
Watchmen
The Complete works of Grendel
The complete works of the Beatles
The unbeatable joy of falling in love and having it returned
Being granted the power of flight
City of the Damned
Some of you would be there thinking... "...well I mean sure flying would be cool and the Beatles did some good songs... but zombie Dredd... hmmm...."
The Beatles are shite Colin, it's obviously City of The Dammed.
Picture yourself in a city in the future
With vampiric Judges and dog vulture skies
The Mutant calls you, you answer psychically
Dredd on the sked with no eyes
Arh Funt Solo that is brilliant.

Just tell yourself it does not exist and removed it from any reference you find. If it does not exist people can not vote for it.
VOTING CLOSED
In the spirit of Funt Solo - but using a completely different band as this song just came to my head first and its too early to think about this
Don't stop me now
I'm voting for City of the Damned
It gave me a good time
Can't stop it now
Its better than The Cursed Earth
Even if I'm totally wrong
Can't stop it now...
20: (14) Small House - 3 points = Down 6 places
19: (16) Machine Law - 7 Points = Down 3 places
18: (8) Titan Enceladus - 9 points = Down 10 places
17: (7) Mandroid - 12 points = Down 10 places
16: (30) Trifecta - 24 points = Up a whooping 14 places
15: (40) Mechanismo - 26 Points = Up 25 mind melting places
14: (14) The Cursed Earth - 32 points = cruelly robbed of any change and left in the ludicrous placing given by AlexF - I glare harshly at you all...
13: (47) City of the Damned - 50 points = Up 34, yes count them 34 places. Its astonishing (and utterly wrong) but there we have it...
So there we go. The almost unstoppable climb of City of the Damned ends at a suitable unlucky 13. The Cursed Earth is stranded in its wake and Mechanismo is the other big, big winner here along with Trifecta.
This has got to be worth getting a cup of tea, sitting down and having a good long chat about... or should I say an intervention...
That gave me a much-needed chuckle, cheers Colin!
Judge Feyy would never have predicted this outcome.

Looks like 88.8% accuracy wasn't good enough.
