I voted no. Apo and Lyton are really, really unoriginal, and pretty boring names...they almost make me wince.
I support Genghis' proposal.

After the declaration and subjication of the arrogant nation (sorry slipped into Jesse Jackson mode) of France, the Jungle Eagle seemed an appropriate icon for the Apolotonian coin as they were rapidly becoming popular 'pets' for Apolotonians who used them to hunt the local infestations of Banana Rats...........

Out of curiousity has any one realized that Lyton is part of Apolyton, not Lipton?
Great job Spiffy, too bad the vote is not going your way. BTW I voted yes, and I don't want it based on 12 or some other number.

Nope, it started tuesday, 17:43 GMT, for 3 days.
Hence, it will stop in less than half an hour

I could start an unofficial poll if I wated to (like anyone else).
But should NO win the poll, I'll let Donal take the decision the way he sees fit.

I agree banana is a very uncreative name for our currency. Come on people, yes we live in a jungle, but in case you haven't noticed there are NO BANANAS in this jungle. Any way the great banana is a fraud, if he was such a great god he could pull better than 25% in an election, he might even lose if he was uncontested.

The GREAT BANANA has far better things to do than run in a piddly little election. It is mearly her underlings and such that run. It is simply because they are so poor in comparison to the GREAT BANANA that they never seam to win.
Please watch your herisy in regards to the GREAT BANANA, else the large stake out front with the pile of flamible lumber around it is looking for someone to BBQ.
Peace.

I think spiff made a mistake about when the poll closed- I don't think he set any limit. This mighyt be an issue:

No, it ends tomorrow, the poll started on the 14th and was set to last 3 days, so it will end at 17:43 on the 17th. That's what the poll said originally, I think Spiffor simply made a mistake when he calculated the end day.

/me whips out his quoting stick
Quote:

Length of a Poll:
Each poll must be open for a minimum of 3 days. This allows enough time for the majority of our members to see the poll and vote in it. Any poll open or taking results in less than 3 days is invalid.
|
No help from that clause.
Try two:
Quote:
|
Each official poll should have its rules laid out, as well as a form of expiration, either when a certain event takes place (i.e. ‘when the game starts’), or a time limit (i.e. ‘5 days’). This is to prevent the occurrence of an incident such as if doesn’t include an expiration, and says 3 weeks later "well this poll said this" kind of thing, and use its results officially.
|
Three days was stated, however the poll never ended. What was the tally after the 3 day mark? When IS the 3 day mark, exactly 72 hours after the poll was made?
Quote:
|
Length of Validity:
Poll results are valid until either a repoll is conducted, or an optional expiration on the results of the poll is included (either from an event or a time limit). In any other case, the results of a poll are official until the end of the game.
|
What's this? A contradiction in the COL. Expiration of a poll is both required AND optional. Take your pick and defend it. I'll see YOU in court.
EDIT: I found a contradiction for nothing! Crud!

Oops, my bad
I was convinced Friday was the 17th
Edit : Epistax : this isn't a contradiction (although it's worded poorly). The optional expiration date doesn't concern the poll itself, but the policy adopted by this poll.
For example, we can imagine an official poll whose result is "our treasury shall never go uner 100 Lytons, never". OR, we could have another policy like " For the next 10 turns, we must get 60 gpt or more".

That's not a contradiction. Read CLOSELY, it states the optional limit is on the RESULTS of the poll, not the poll itself.
Which judges are up for renomination?

Rats!
Oh well, at least there are more Yes votes than no votes. However, the validity of the poll is something that must be determined. I believe that there is no doubt that it will go before the Supreme Court, considering the stakes and the discovery's made about polls in the CoL.

Captain and Trip are bailing out. No renominations.
pretty sure Captain.. trip is certain.
Here's an issue for you (taking up space here ) Captain has served one of a three month term. When someone else is elected to his place, do they serve 2, or 3 months?

Two months, it would be to fill in his term, not as if it were a normal election.

I apologize to all those who rushed their vote because of my mistake.
However, the poll is due to close Saturnday at 17:43 GMT. Except if I forgot to put the expiration date (which I doubt, it's something I care of), the officialness of the poll isn't jeopardized.
In the unlikely hypothesis I forgot to put an expiration date, then we'd have a choice : taking the results Sat. 17:43 GMT, and consider them official ; OR making this poll unofficial, and thus not binding.
Overall, I think solutions are simple, should the problem arise. No need to overcomplicate them.
