Hatchling Cockatrice Slariton Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Since some new ideas have appeared with seeming consensus since the first poll, here's a new iteration of the poll. Note that you do NOT have to choose the "like" or "dislike" option for every possible title. If you're neutral, just don't pick it for either. There appears to be a general consensus that "Sucia" is the best theme for the wiki title. No one has posted otherwise, anyway. The lack of a Sucia option on the poll probably explains most of the Terrestia votes. If anyone *is* really attached to a Terrestia title or domain, feel free to post your affection in the thread.

Curious Artila Princess Starlight Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 From what I have gathered, there is already an 'Encyclopedia Ermaria' for the Exile/Avernum works of the community, yes? If so, I would advise against a similar name for the Geneforge-site. Both 'The Sucia Island Archives' and 'The Library of Sucia' don't convince me either, for a couple of reasons. A name for a project like this needs to be a catchy one. One that leaves a good, professional-ish first impression. Neither of the two suggestions mentioned before did this to me, so I'm forced to vote against them. So I'm left with 'Sucia Archives', which to me doesn't have any of the filler the other titles have, but yet gives the end-user the same information of the site, and thus results in a name that not only sounds nicer, but is catchy and easily memorable. But I am, of course, biased, since it was me who suggested the particular name in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I answered "No" to question 5 because I would not be able to contribute much until I buy and play the games. However, despite that, I would be willing to contribute in small ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Emperor Tullegolar Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Quote: Originally written by Love Parallelogram: 'Encyclopedia Ermarian'. I always thought it was 'Ermariana.' I'm happy to see that people like Sucia Archives. Even though the word 'archives' somehow doesn't appear in the games, I think everyone can admit that the word is still somehow more Genforgesque than Encyclopedia. I'm a little disappointed more people don't think barred.ermarian is clever, but the address isn't really that important to me anyway. Edit: I will be contributing a lot. You really are privileged to have me around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Slariton Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 14 votes is what the last poll got, I believe. So it looks like the winner is Sucia Archives at barred.ermarian.net I voted against Sucia Archives, but I'm slowly being sold on it, and I think it'll be a good name. The barred subdomain is clever and gives the site some character, even if it's more obscure than geneforge would be. Aran, make it so.

Well-Actually War Trall Emperor Tullegolar Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I guess I spoke too soon on barred.ermarian. Both the ones I liked won? Another victory for the Concluding Resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 We haven't specified an end for this poll, but we can probably close the deal on the site name today. Sucia Archives appears to be the most popular by far, with all other options receiving negative votes. Since the relative majority in the domain name question is a closer call I move for a run-off regarding the domain name, offering the choice between barred, geneforge and sucia. Also, can we hold the final poll in public? This issue seems trivial enough that voter protection need not trump ballot-stuffing prevention...

Hatchling Cockatrice Slariton Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 I move for no run-off. I deliberately structured this poll to avoid the need for a run-off, as the poll isn't about choosing your favorite, but gathering information on the appeal of different choices. barred received 11 positive votes and 4 negatives. geneforge received 9 positive votes and 6 negatives. sucia received 6 and 4. Clearly, barred elicited the most positive reaction overall, while sucia elicited the most subdued reaction. Aran, I know that _you_ dislike barred. It is after all your domain, and your generosity that is providing the site, so if you simply don't want barred I don't think anyone will object to your vetoing it. But let's not drag this on forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Internet access has been sporadic the past days, and will remain so for a week. I'll try to get it set up some time in the next few days, though, if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
