Fight 1
Since there was no actual argumentation in support of issue #285, and I agree that liberated Airstrikes will add more strategic options in combat & modding, my vote is...
Kill #285
Support #626
Fight 2
I believe there was some confusion regarding issue #957 - nowhere in the request does it say anything about super weapons. The request is about custom weather phenomena, like the random ion storms in Tiberian Sun. As such, Blade's argumentation that custom super weapons are already scheduled is invalid, as is Speeder's SW-based one in support.
However, I liked TS's random ion storms, and given that nobody even bothered to come up with an argumentation in support of #288, I'm gonna go with my personal opinion: Random storms are more interesting and different than yet another way to promote units, so my vote is...
Kill #288
Support #957
One final note, since some people apparently still don't get it: This is not a vote. The number of supporters, while it will be taken into account, is not the basis of decision here. We are looking for argumentations making a good case for the death or survival of particular issues.
In other words: Any post that consists of nothing but a support/kill statement is completely pointless and will be ignored.
If we wanted to make this based on numbers, I could just add a poll each time and kill the ones with the least votes.
But, in fact, this very discussion shows why we're not doing that: Despite the fact that #957's request has nothing to do with super weapons, multiple people tried to decide over its fate based on super weapons. If we made it a pure vote, misguided judgement like that could decide the fate of an issue based on false pretenses.
We don't want good issues to die just because the voters can't be arsed to read beyond the summary, or only skim the description.
So, one more time, in bold:
We are looking for argumentations for or against issues. If your post doesn't provide one, it will be ignored.
If you need a differently-phrased explanation, have a look at WP:JUSTAVOTE.
