New name-4th trimming

[disorganizer]

As we will propably play as German and as new name the "translate fanatic in tribe language" will propably be chosen, there were disputes about the name to choose.

"FANATISCH" will be the translated "fanatic", but as this is more like "to be fanatic" there was a proposed "FANATIKA" which in german sounds more like a nations name.

I put up both options and an abstain.
The poll will be up for 3 days.

annotation:
The people of FANATISCH would be propably called FANATISCHANER or something like that (no real german!), as the people of FANATIKA will be called FANATIKER, which is fanatics in german.

I prefer Fanatika, Fanatisch doesn't sound right.

 

[Chris85]

FANATIKA is pimp!

 

[Octavian X]

I'd rather be a Fanatiker. I can't even say Fanatischanerf, much less type it.

 

[disorganizer]

I will propably laugh for the whole game about those anglistic guys trying to make german names *rofl*
And im relly excited to see the use of those in english sentences... ;-)

 

[Octavian X]

I can just see the Apolytonian Embassy...

"Hello and welcome to our land, Fanatikers.

I suggest keeping this poll open longer. I don't think it will reach quorum in the original time allowed.

 

[disorganizer]

do we need quorums for info-polls? *sigh*
ok. leave it open longer.
how will we call the nation if we never reach quorum?
in fact, it will not be possible for the no to surpass the yes.

Sorry, dis. I didn't realize that this was an info poll. That's not noted anywhere.

 

[disorganizer]

True... Does it need an info poll for all our options or a deciding poll? Do we need to handle it like a constitutional amendment, a law or only a normal ingame poll?
did all other option-polls get a quorum?

*Cyc impersonating Dis* - "But there is no YES or NO here..."

 

[disorganizer]

Argh... i was too busy when typing
Nevertheless its a nice braino... i leave it in there...
I wanted to say that the second option cant surpass the first... stupid me.

The combined poll is not informational. If it achieves quorum (3 more votes) it will be valid and binding. This poll would also need to be binding and valid in order to overrule that earlier poll.

 

[disorganizer]

It is not an overrule poll, just a clarification poll. The option in the first poll was misleading and interprettable. Question is whether with this poll here online the 1st poll will still be valid, as it showed the option was not clearly specified.
Btw: did you notice almost NONE of our parameters passed the quorum?
And that some of the results conflict?
As the combined criteria poll didnt pass the quorum, the poor guy setting up the game will have to go thru all polls to search the binding ones to net get pi'ed at!

 

[Shaitan]

Hopefully, either the combined poll will reach quorum or the census poll will pass (which will then make the combined poll reach quorum).

 

[Shaitan]

The new quorum levels are in effect. The new level is either 19 or 20 (I figured it out a while ago but my recolection is fuzzy). One more vote for any option would cement this poll.

 

[Grey Fox]

FANATIKA is my vote.

And a Fanatiker in swedish is a Fanatic so... and I am one.

 

[disorganizer]

Will be an easy game for the nordic community as many german words are the same in nordic languages ;-)

Will also be fun to watch to anglistics make up german sounding words

Phoenatica is dead! Long live FANATIKA!

 

[Shaitan]

That'll do it. The name is officially Fanatika.
