New efforts!

[EmmaStyles]

We could call them:

The Doctors: The team working on getting our city back
The Doctor's Companions: People like Iron Wolf

Beside if we had a Tardis we could go back and fix whatever happened to make those first negotiations fail and all would be well in the world.  ;D

[Battlechimp]

WHAT!!! It's as if you don't recognize my inherent authority to standardize our nomenclature throughout the community -- Don't you realize I have vast armies of enforcement drones prepared to wield swift justice on any who don't obey the results of this vote and use the decided-on name?

Do you think I'm simply wasting my time here on an utterly pointless diversion simply because we have no news on the development front and I wanted something other than a discussion of pastry merits?

I cast four votes for Susan!

And one for They Who Sit Upon The Porch

To quote MST3K. "I'm going to run this company like my father would. You, put a towel on your head.  You swat at invisible elves.  And I'll rock on the porch all night"

And to bring things back to baked goods, I will reiterate what in said back a couple hundred pages ago... did you know that Bakers Square has a drive through pie window!? That's just evil!

[LaughingAlex]

I don't really think this vote thing is appropriate. No one's going to call them one name until they reveal who they are. And what if they don't like what you (the populace, not YOU) pick? What if the name with the highest votes is just...stupid? There's some real poopers on that list, just IMO :p

Just "the new devs". Just call them the new devs. It's what they are/will be.

I remember an article in which a couple asked the internet to name their baby.  The most popular answers were especially bad names.

[Netzahualcoyotl]

Where are Menders on that list?? That gets my 5 pt vote....

..... or Ouroboros (very fitting - 4 pts).....

... or George (3 pts).  ;)

Tony, you started out great, then fell into weird, then just creepy.

(lol... you obviously aren't old enough to remember the Looney Tunes cartoon series, Aggelakis.... I wish wasn't, either!)

[Goddangit]

I will name them George, and I will hug them and pet them and squeeze them and pat them and pet them and rub them and caress them...

Tony, you started out great, then fell into weird, then just creepy.

Tony?  Sounded more like Lennie.

Okay, I'm adding 3 new entries even after voting has begun because
I am a RIVER to my people
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abI8cdLvJp8

Also it's Tony's forum, so if he wants George we'll add George

And I deeply fear the power that is Aggelakis because she could Mod my ass
so when she says we shouldn't vote but "Just call them the new devs. It's what they are/will be"
I have to add an expansion to the list and because I'm down with the kids and hip to their
texting and tweeting and trolling and internets and rock stars and such -- I'll add it as "Devs2b"

And if I missed MENDERS, I apologize -- but not enough to go back and see what it stands for (if anything)
-- I like it so I'm adding it

If anybody who's voted want's to change their vote at this point, I'll update it
George        8 votes
Devs2b        5 votes
MENDERS    5 votes 

Ouroborous takes the lead with 14

All results will be certified by Price-Waterhouse

[Reaper]

I'd go with George.  ;D  Then I can feel like Lennie: "I can still play the CoH, George?  I didn't mean no harm, George."

And if you want it to be an acronym:

Getting
Everyone
Off
Real
Good
Eventually (or eternally)

8)

[BitLoadR]

Good list. I like "Demigods", "Rebooters", "Menders", and a couple more.

My vote: KHELD

b'cause...well, it makes sense.

Okay, I'll just crawl back into my corner...bye.

Christ I thought this conversation had derailed before when we were talking about favorite potato chips

[Des_Tructive]

Christ I thought this conversation had derailed before when we were talking about favorite potato chips

After we all went to the store to buy some (I can't be the only one, right?), the munchies were satisfied and we needed new replacements for the giant gaping hole in our lives that was coH.

Ultimately this returns to food. Always good.

I still hate how nobody has uploaded one of my favorite bits from Daffy/bugs (Both do it at some point.)

Still, someone put it in an E, E & E clip, so meh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brX_53a4ebc

My son wished to share his feelings on the topic:

Sounds very much like my eldest son's feelings on the matter.

I'd vote for Menders, Sphinx, NADs, George, and Ouroboros Studio. In that order, whatever that means for scoring purposes.

Though, I like Arcanatime. Is Arcanaville still around?

(Stop! Arcanatime!)
