The Herb Elimination Game: IT GOES ON

YES. ANOTHER GAME.

We are considering both the fresh and dried versions of these herbs.

the rules:

1. You may vote once daily.
2. Vote by adding a point to an herb you like, and subtracting a point from an herb you don't like.
3. Once an herb has 0 points, it is eliminated and cannot be voted for again.
4. (tentative) Once the game has come to a near standstill and all the herbs left have high points, we'll determine the winner by putting it to a poll where you can vote for one option.

The list:
5 Basil
5 Thai basil
5 Bay
5 Borage
5 Chamomile
5 Chervil
5 Chives
5 Cilantro
5 Curry leaves
5 Dill
5 Fennel leaves
5 Kaffir lime leaves
5 Lavender
5 Lemongrass
5 Lemon balm
5 Marjoram
5 Oregano
5 Pandan
5 Curly parsley
5 Flat-leaf parsley
5 Peppermint
5 Rosemary
5 Saffron
5 Sage
5 Savory
5 Shiso/perilla/beefsteak plant
5 Spearmint
5 Tarragon
5 Thyme
5 Lemon thyme

Way to rain down on my single manned parade. I've thought about that. Whatever, maybe I'll stop voting for it.

Never tried? Heck half of them I have never heard of. That is how I make my choice: which one's I have never heard of, vs. which one's I have heard of, vs. which ones I have tried, vs. which ones I actually like. Plus I have to factor in those players who have tried to snooker me and make sure to vote theirs down, and those with nicknames I don't like, or those with nicknames that remind me of someone I don't like, etc, etc. Yes, it is complex yet meaningful and fulfilling decision tree ;)

the thing is i've heard of just about all, but have only experienced them in spice form or restaurants... that's why a spice poll would be legit for me
