Well I\'m sure some of you think I sabotaged the polls because of my verbal dis agreement with some of the popular choicews
But I proimise you it wasn\'t me. I can be a prick but I\'m not a shallow prick
We need to either re-set up the polls or find a different means of determining the names
SO before I re-post polls How do you guys want to handle this
I thought the poll vote down would be a fun / fair way to get everyone involved, but I never really asked everyone how they felt about it.
I still would like to do the vote down
5 polls 10 names each
the top 2 of each poll goto a semi-final poll
with the top 2 names from the semi-final battling it out for the final name
Let me know
Thanks,
-
Well, that format was ok, but I think soulgrind offered to put all 50 into one poll for ya.. that would be cool. Then take the top 10 to the next poll.
Also, the first 4 polls dissapeared at 3:50 am (eastern) this morning, and you weren\'t on... as I recall, only MM was on then.... The last one just dissapeared now.
-
Sounds good to me.
-
well what ever is clever, since all the names are probably forgotten, cause im sure you cnt rememebr them all, we will have 2 make a post the clan name thread again, then we give it 3 days, then we mek the polls, etc.
i know it wasn\'t you ddaryl :)
-
If possible, putting the 50 out there in one thread would be good.
If not, maybe we could try to remember some of the most popular ones, hopefully without getting a 500,000 post thread re-hashing everyone\'s suggestions.
Either way, it ain\'t gonna be easy! :D

Nope I have all the names on an Excel Spreadsheet on my computer
I prefer the 5 sepreate polls cause it allows everyone to vote for more then one in the early stages and gives us more variety
but even so, the polls only allow 10 choices

Thank god.

Just suck up dd and stop wasting time. The name is gonna be PSX2Central Elite so you might as well officially announce it now.

Well most of us can hope to god we don\'t end up with a ****ty name.
Elite, sounds likea XFL football team
With out a vote it isn\'t fair
Your not afraraid are you
-
Afraid of what? What the hell are you talking about? All I\'m saying is that I vividly remember the results of the polls before they disappeared and Elite had many more votes than any other poll winning name submission and it was obvious to me this would be the eventual winner.
You didn\'t see that? I know you don\'t like that name but it\'s a good name, simple, concise and powerful... and it will continue to be so for years, unlike some of the other dorky ass names that were submitted, yours included.

How do you know when the final votes get down to 1 poll that half of the people who voted for Elite won\'t vote or prefer one of the other favorites from the other polls
Yeah I saw elite, but it was going up against alot of lame names some of the other polls has voteds equally distributed
It will probably win, I hope not but it probably will
I\'m just attacking your confidence that this name should be the one without a vote. Thats just not fair to the rest of us who would like an opportunity to pick a different one
-
i have an idea
give it a name
if someone doesnt like, dont join it
this is all hypothetical anyways, as how many games will really support more than 4 at a time?
"whats in a name"
-shakespeare

Are you quoting me because you know it\'s one of my peeves or what? Really dude, I have no need to read what I posted twice before seeing your response....
Anyway, I\'m just picking on you about the names.
-
Damn it mm, how\'d you sneak in there?!! Now it just looks like I wussed out after you posted you bastard! Great, now I gotta go to therapy...
"You didn\'t wuss out, you didn\'t wuss out, you didn\'t wuss out..."

No I prefer the quote system cause it eliminates any possible confusion on who and what your replying to
It also eliminates the possibility of someone sneaking in between your posts
I\'ve been in many threads were I just get confused on who is replying to who and quote system makes it a more enjoyable read for me
As for the names I really just want the entire mebership to decide in a fair fun manner. Figured the polls would work
-
The quote system is for people with ADD or for responses that cross three or more posts, (and even then it is somtimes appropriate to simply address the user directly using their name). It\'s true, I looked it up in the Official Forums Handbook of Guidelines Using the Quote Feature... yup, gotcha there Mr. ADD! Ha!

Better keep it with the 5 polls 10 choices format,it\'s much easier to choose when there isn\'t an overwhelming amount of choices.
I\'m beginning to think we are about to have another Florida situation here,endless recounts :p
-
Oh God ...This is Florida all over again!!!:p

Don\'t extend the polls so long! Here\'s my philosophy on it all.
We narrow down by half each time... (well sorta)
This will give us more of consensus, which means all those half ass names get booted.
Start with 10 in each poll. 5 polls.
1st Round) 3 Days
5 out of 10 will make it to the next round. Why 5? Most people will vote for their names, 50 names... that\'s 50 votes designated for your own name. If we get rid of the names going no where, there will be better results, making.
To sum up what I\'m saying is, Round one is a prelimnary round. Technically, a qualifying round.
2nd Round) 3 Days
5 names per poll, 5 polls.
2 out of 5 will make it to the next round. The real compition begins here. Less choices per poll leaves you with a better idea of what the people "really" want.
The Quaterfinalist will be chosen this round.
Quaterfinal Round) 4 Days
10 names, 1 poll.
5 out of 10 will make it to the next round. Your probably thinking... why only quaterfinals? The game now becomes a game of survival, only the best names survive. This is the Survivor of PSX2Central forums(cept\' much quicker)
Why another day? It\'s down to the top ten, and none of the names you like made it, you don\'t know which name to pick, well this gives you an extra day to make your decision. Also, this round is more cruciall than the previous 2, if people miss this vote it will make a difference.
The Semi-Finalist are chosen this round.
Semi-Final Round) 5 Days
5 names, 1 poll.
Your probably, yet again asking, why the extra step? Well if we want this team name on a level where all the names have a chance. Example, a few votes cost them from being 2nd... all because there were other names that took votes away from your name. This lessens or gets rid of the possibility of that happening.
5 days to decide who the finalist are. The best of the best are chosen here. The two finalist will be chosen this round.
Final Round) 7 Days
2 names, 1 poll.
This is the round we\'ve all waited for, time to decide just who has the better name. 50 names... narrowed down to two... all but one will be forgotten... the tournament of names will soon be over...
Nothing much else to say here. The champion will be decided here. (Sorry, no prize, just a Cyber-Pat on the back)
It may take a while... but honestly, we have a while to go before PS2 goes online. This will last longer, it will be more fun, and the race will be on. Ddaryl, please let me know what you think of this system opposed to yours. I would like you to consider it.
-
I have no problems with your system
The reason I choose 7 days is because alot of people might not be able to get online for a few days here and there and miss
but the majority of us are here daily
anyone else agree of disagree

Maybe at this point, but what happens when it has to go against the other top 5 names... all the votes wont swing in that one direction the entire time, it was in a poll where the other names weren\'t favored at all. Something to think about, that\'s why I\'m promoting a new system of doing things. I hope ddarly sees where I\'m coming from.

ddaryl you always screw everything up!!!!! :(
J/k

HAHAHA Donkey Rapers Unite!!
We will take these polls and make them our Donkey Beyotches!!

Sounds good to me. After all, the first members will be the diehard regulars who are here everyday anyway. The rest will be voted in.

ok,what about those hanging chads?! :D aww,i do not care how the polls are,but i still think my name "Elite Enforcers" is still the best overall,the name "Elite" just isn\'t enough,it needs some enforcement..hehee
-
Who deleted the POLLS!! It could be that chimp!! j/k I think we should just pick 5 names out and poll it. Make things simple. Names does matter, it\'s the players that counts. Tell them BOUNCER!!:D Hey, I got a name. It\'s the PLAYERS CLUB!
-
I had no problems with ddaryl\'s system, nor what Billy offered. Do as you like, ddaryl, I\'ll be happy anyways :)
I think the name-voting was cool, and I hope you can bring the polls back soon.
-
I\'ll put up the polls tommorrow
Will use a hybrid system of mine and One Billy guns since I think his is a tad to much overall
we\'ll shorten up poll times and have more winners in the 1st 2 polls
-
Common ddaryl... just bring the polls up !
ppl decide what they want - and that´s it...
You Americans are still into the Bush/Gore thing.... ey... :D

I\'m not that common, I\'m poretty unique I\'d like to believe
I just want you all to be happy, really
-
put them all in one poll and let\'s see the last name standing!
-
this has nothing to do with hanging chads... it has to do with hanging pixels!
i crack me up....
-
I\'m glad you guys didn\'t make this name thing a big and complicated deal... ehem :p
-
The name is a big deal, I mean I wouldn\'t want to go into a room with PSX2Central Losers written next to my name...
Ah come on, let\'s have a little fun and vote off(or on I should say) names.
-
Yes, I certainly don\'t mind some fun, but I think some of you are taking this just a bit too seriously. It\'s \'just\' a name for some online clan that doesn\'t even exist yet, and probably won\'t for a long time. :)
But hey, to each his own.

Yep, couldn\'t have said it better myself. Once the name is down, we can get to work on other stuff, we will be ready wether it be soon or a long ways.
-
Well, a little input from me real quick. Before you do the polls with 50 names. About 30 of them were obviously sucky and would never make it. A lot had one vote. Why don\'t you just kill those now and make 2 polls of 10.........
Do I get a 2 cent rebate?
-
That´s a good idea... let´s have a poll for that... :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
BTW ddaryl: Maybe I´ve missed the joke... I don´t want to call you common... eerhm... actually I wanted to write "come on"!!! :laughing:

Ahahahahahahahaha :laughing:
yes,it\'s a good thing this didn\'t get out of hand :p
-
Some of the names was not serious. Why?
Take the serious names and put them in a poll.
-
well i think the formatt we had was just fine - why change a good thing as people say
-
ALL NAMES WILL BE INCLUDED
Simply because all members deserve to have there choice represented, just becuase one person thinks its stupid a few other may not. Its just the only way to be fair
Yes a few are for joke purposes and will naturally get weeded out, but thats why I included them because they deserved the laugh and we desere to have that laugh
The new polls will be up this evening barring unforseen obligations on my part
