Base name poll

Corellion · September 9, 2003, 09:15

Vote for your favourite base name(s). Maximum of three please, and write-in if I haven't included one you like.

Corellion · September 9, 2003, 09:24

Wow, that was fast. Who else voted so quickly?

Maniac · September 9, 2003, 09:52

I did. I even saw the thread before the poll was added some six minutes later.

Anyway, I voted among others "/usr/bin/EvilPlan". It isn't my intention though to use that as one of our next three base names, but rather for somewhere in the future when the name becomes fitting.

What is a "Metempsychosis" btw?

I agree with Maniac. /usr/bin/EvilPlan, Input Gates, Output Node and Network Junction need to be put in the right place. Input gates eithe rin the sea between 2 landmasses or on land between 2 oceans. Output node the other side of the faction. Network Junction at a crossroads where our roads meet and /usr/bin/EvilPlan at some point in the future. However for now, Akiria

Metempsychosis

\Me*temp`sy*cho"sis\, n. [NL., fr. Gr. ?; ? beyond, over + ? to animate; ? in + ? soul. See Psychology.] The passage of the soul, as an immortal essence, at the death of the animal body it had inhabited, into another living body, whether of a brute or a human being; transmigration of souls. --Sir T. Browne.

Well, that doesn't seem too appropriate... I was just taking the names from the suggestion thread.

Although we could always claim he's a research slug we keep in a cage.

Drogue · September 9, 2003, 11:04

Or we could just torture him until they pay us ec

Sorry, still in Hive mode

I especially like:

Binary Bastion
The Tower of Googlie :d
Network Junction
usr/bin/EvilPlan

Maniac · September 10, 2003, 08:37

Can Googlie and Tassadar vote in this poll as well, as it isn't really game-decision-making?

Maniac · September 13, 2003, 08:49

So what base names will be used? Those with 4 votes, or those with a mere two votes as well?
Perhaps it would be better to give five maximal votes in the next poll, as that gives a higher chance of bases with many votes?

Corellion · September 13, 2003, 10:26

Alright... I can't see how it will hurt.

Well, yes it is, but I will vote anyway.

Even if you didn't put my name in there

I ran out of poll options, and opinion seemed to be that Tassagrad, if it were built, would be built on a slope with Tower of Googlie at the top. Thus I left out Tassagrad until we locate a slope and build Tower of Googlie at the top.
