That's what they all say, until it is too late...

If the Sierra Nova voters would have voted Solaris, there would have been hope; but the front of sensible and mature ACDGers was in disarray and could not co-ordinate it's offense. :/

Well, its too late to change my vote now, isn't it ?

*feels bad for upsetting kass*

If I could, I'd change my vote for Solaris, and try to forget those "problems" I have...

Hm, I don't think it's impossible to just say "I change my vote from Xenobanana to Solaris". If nothing else, we could demand a repoll

If you want people to change their vote from Xenobanana to something else, just bring up the fact that I voted for the dancing yellow guy too.

You too, Archaic? I can not believe this. I always thought, "If someone won't vote for Xenobanana, it's Archaic". I'm shocked.

And I'm afraid that revelation just might do the trick... *rolls eyes*

Oh, and since the poll option is "Xenobanana!", will the region be called literally that? Besides from being silly, you will have a region name that defies grammar

How does "Xenobanana!" defy grammar, Kass? Give me a good reason, and I'll change my vote. You can't say fairer than that.

There's a town called "Westward Ho!" in Cornwall, England. I think that sets a precedent, as as we all know, law is based on precedent. Ha ! I'm still voting banana unless there's a better objection than that.

Yes. That would mean we would have such sentence monstrosities as "We must build a few bases at Xenobanana! to increase population". A geographical name can't have an exclamation mark, that's just silly. A sentence ends at an exclamation mark, period.

I really want to see some reliable source to this.

(Hm, I wonder if appending 'xeno-' to the beginning of 'banana' is somehow erronous... might be that the banana should be conjugated... I shall dwell on this.)

It must be a British conspiracy. They have been plotting this all long.



Oh well. I guess I won't get your support then. Of course, the whole grammar point was already moot, since, as GT reminded us, we already have a grammar-defying municipality name.

Oh well, I change my vote from Sierra Nova to Solaris, at least, which means it's now even with Xenobanana. I don't care which of the two I support wins, as long as one of them does.

Sheeplike I change my vote to Solaris(!) I may as well go gracefully with the winners, and the other names are pretty poor IMHO.

I am not sure. What does the constitution say? Of course, since the fluctuation in opinion has been so wide, this poll should be deemed as uneffective, and a repoll be made... I think.

Ah, but a poll modifying the constitution has some pre-requirements, and can't be started just like that (IIRC).

I did it before you posted. I didn't put "official" so it's just an opinion gathering poll. Everyone OK with that ?
