My apologies for the logic error that meant if someone had missed an option they could not then submit a vote for it later. I believe I've now corrected the problem. Missed options should now also be highlighted on the voting page to help you find them/cast your vote.
Voting information:
- To vote, you need to be logged in.
Logged in users CAN add extra names to the list. This is now closed - no more names will be added.- Voting is set to close on Friday 17th Aug, 2012. If there is no clear winning choice at this time, we will have a further week before the GW2 headstart in which we can choose between the top few choices (3-10) from this poll.
If you're adding a name to the poll, please follow the GW2 naming rules:
- Max 31 characters for the main name (note: I don't know if apostrophes can be used).
- Tag is 2-4 characters, no numbers/spaces/special chars.
- Please include BOTH name AND tag.
Vote Processing
At this stage, I'm thinking that the voting will be processed as follows:
- 3 or more hates (or should that be 25% or more?) = name gone. Too many people actively dislike it.
- For the remaining names, add the votes with the following points:
- Love = 2 points
- Like = 1 point
- Ok/Don't care/don't like but would tolerate = 0 points
- Hate = -2 points
- Sort the preferences in order of highest total points.
- Work out whether we need to do a "pick your favourite" out of the top few highest point totals after scoring.
If you disagree with this method of scoring,
please comment and provide an alternative! I'd like to see people happy with what is eventually decided on - which means that we need to make sure that it's fair :). The voting is still open, so if you want to change/update your votes based on the scoring above please feel free to do so.
Ok - there seems to have been a lot of confusion about the yellow choice. It was never intended to be a "don't count my vote" choice, but to be one where while you don't personally support the name (i.e. you don't "like" it) you could live with it if it was chosen. Hate was the "ugh, can't stand it, don't want to be in a guild named this at all". I'm sorry that the wording wasn't clear initially.
Please don't advise people to turn names that they could live with into full hates, because I will be treating those votes as names that people CAN'T live with. Hence why if 1/4 of the guild hate it, it's considered inappropriate to use, and why it had such a strong penalty attached to it for less than 1/4 of the guild.
Suggestion… I would like Ctrl Alt [DEL] better than having the word elite in there. To me the word elite makes it sound quite smug… what do others think?
OK, this is getting a little harsh. We may need to increase the allowed number of hates to 4. If we dont were going to end up with a very “meh” name casue when im looking at this, there are only 3 names allowed and none of them have more than one point. Call me boring if you must but I dont want to be GOO 🙁
Lol, yes, we’re down to almost nothing now, and I must admit that I’m surprised that GOO hasn’t been voted out too.
But I guess the other question is, if people don’t like the names currently proposed to the point where they don’t want any of them, how about proposing ones that they WOULD like?
Everyone HAS the ability to add names to the poll.
Perhaps instead of changing the voting people need to bring it upon themselves to make a vote that counts. Decide if you like something or not and give it a vote with value. It is very easy to tick the yellow column but at the end of the day it isn’t a decision. I want to thank Janeene for all the hard work she has put into creating this site and build queue planning. It is amazing the number of times we speak about the guild throughout the day, she is always planning or thinking about something. In that spirit we all need to pool together and find a name that we all like! All of the names I have suggested are voted out now, so if you don’t like mine, or anyone elses post some of your own guys,,, We have to be able to live with the result, and fyi i don’t like goo either lol!
I’m not bothered by people saying “I don’t support this name, but I won’t knock it out if other people like it”. But if you really don’t want to use any of the names at all, please do propose alternatives that you can live with.
Oops i forgot to post the tag…. Tyrian Resistance Alliance [TRA]
Hi All, it seems that we are getting down to the wire on choosing the Guild Name, so what I’ve done and suggest that other people do to is to go through and revise what they have voted as “It’s ok/don’t care/don’t really like but I could live with it” to either a “like” or “hate” so that it can be narrowed down to a few finalists and hopefully we will find a name that everyone will be happy with.
If people use hate for names they don’t like but COULD tolerate, we will have NO names available to use – which was the case a couple of days ago.
After realizing that I have gone through and fixed up my votes – sorry about any confusion caused.
OK, so now we have a choice of AUS serenity, Reborth of Fallen Leigon and Knights of Tyria. All awesome names!!!
I say we take these three and set a vote before someone bans them all.
Knights of Tyria has only had 4 people vote yet…so only 1/3 of the guild have even looked at it ;).
