We cannot let the two Clash Of The Princes just be excluded from voted on anymore and so I'm doing my own Greenspine style separate poll on Clash Of The Princes: The Warrior's Way and Clash Of The Princes: The Warlock's Way. Good luck to these two redshirts! Yes, there will be a random number generator at the end which will determine ranking.

When considering which number to select, should we be thinking of the two as standalone adventures or insofar as they contribute to a joint adventure?

Alrighty. Glad we cleared that up

No option to vote for the cardboard slipcase?
I'm not saying I would choose it (nor that I wouldn't), but it's an integral part of Clash of the Princes (quite literally, as it integrates the two volumes into one shelf item), and disregarding it raises questions about the reliability of the poll.

No option to vote for the cardboard slipcase? I'm quite sure a vote for the cardboard slipcase, none of the above, the work of the illustrator, other works by the authors, would all storm if they were an option and if we could vote seeing what we were voting for, but unfortunately this will be a scrupulously honest poll like yours! Your details are very clever but I say the same would apply to the Sorcery! series, wouldn't it? After all, you can play Clash Of The Princes with only one volume. If you're challenging this poll you could always set up your own one.

Sorcery! was published as separate books, whereas Clash was only available as a box set. Oh, people may have tried selling second-hand copies of one or both Clash books without the box, but they were wrong.

Right. I'm unsure which order on the list to place these two, because alphabetical would make sense but Greenspine is very technically correct that they were published together in a box set which I would add even then can be read both left-to-right and right-to-left. I didn't even get the box set but picked up the two second-hand from a charity house. I'm tired of all this pedantry and cheapness and I'm going to stick with alphabetical order. So number one on the RNG turns out to have got a lower number than number two - so does that put it below number one in its position or above? My first feeling was very much below.
Number one on the list: Clash Of The Prince's Warrior's Way (5 out of 10 on the RNG)
Number two on the list: Clash Of The Prince's The Wizard's Way (9 out of 10 on the RNG)
Alternatively it could have been first come first serve in which case The Wizard's Way would have beat Warrior's Way in the line and perversely got a worse outcome via (bad) luck. But I'm going to be high-spirited and take this outome as a win for what was arguably the better COTP to begin with.
Thank you everyone, yes, only a few people voted, but this has been very democratic, and I've enjoyed it!
Edit: Just to clarify, the purpose of voting was to choose which of the (two) gamebooks we found our favourite, we have voted in line with the RNG by preferring number two, so nothing has to be traded around. I'm sure my interpretation of how to use the RNG is beyond out-there and entirely different from Greenspine's.
