I disagree; since it stands on its own merits, the reference is just a bonus, which will lose relevance over time.

Perhaps we should let auto-correct select our new name?

I picked

Adhocracy, because it was my suggestion, itā€™s a nod back to The Other Place and itā€™s how weā€™re organising here.

HappyMutant.space because itā€™s what weā€™ve already got, gives a nod to where weā€™ve come from and describes who we are.

I was voting for HMSElsewhere. Iā€™m aware that it refers back to an unpleasant episode, but I wasnā€™t involved and it doesnā€™t carry the same weight for me that it does for others. I like the sound of it and the nautical/piratical themes it suggests, but now that I write it out I donā€™t think it balances out so Iā€™ve withdrawn it.

I donā€™t have a third vote, none of the rest really speak to me.

This is where I should make a joke about how Google keyboard needs to honour ā€˜safeā€™ searchā€™ mode, when updating its weighted graph of vocabulary, isnā€™t it.

(I keed, I keed)

And yeah, @crenquis is right: [quote=ā€œcrenquis, post:106, topic:315ā€]

Fair enough. My viewā€™s an opinion, and I could be wrong. Iā€™d actually like to be wrong, as otherwise I like the name.

Cā€™mon guys. Do I have to do all of the work here?

Woah, current voting is obscene.

Currently leading the pack is Elsewhere, followed by: Adhocracy, MutantUnderground, EndoftheWorld, HappyMutantSpace, Commentariat, NumbersStation, Allthelikes, MutantSpeakeasy, h.ms, HMS Elsewhere, Rebelmutant, Snark exchange, Annexia, Sanctuary, SnickerSnark.

If the bottom eight were eliminated today that would leave:
Elsewhere, Adhocracy, MutantUnderground, EndoftheWorld, HappyMutantSpace, Commentariat, NumbersStation, Allthelikes

You could say that went off like a damp squib?

Iā€™d love to figure out a way to get us to a three way race. Is there some kind of March Madness thing we can do to get to a winner?

I was actually hoping to cut it down even a bit more than that - maybe going top five, then top two, with a single vote in each of those rounds. But Iā€™m fine doing it however people like.

I could actually structure it like an elimination contest - pit one name against another (i.e. SnickerSnark vs HappyMutants) but I think that might just be confusing.

It does sound fun though? Can we have them duel to the death?

Probably the poll idea is the best way to go. I like either method fine @Cynicalā€™s way or @waethermanā€™s. I def think next move is top 8. From there I propose we see how neck and neck things are and decide next steps.
