Pick New Cantina Name Poll

[mac5732]

Pick any three of the following names that were submitted. The top three then will face a run-off for the new name of the New Cantina, and the Old one will be retired....

Reason for retiring, is that the motion was put foreward by gt due to the large amount of Posts, and other reasons, see the Posts in the cantina, for more on this, So new locations was requested.

i like the original best, why is it being retired?

[Baron Munchausen]

I object! Your choices are not trendy enough.

What about "Planet Malfador"?
Or "Space Empires 4ward"?

[Suicide Junkie]

The top three should definitely have to run against the current name.

Then we'll really see what people think.

Also, the typos in those names should be fixed before you hire the Sign Maker.

"The Wondering Nomad & Pirate Saloon"
Is the nomad Wandering or Wondering?

"The Wicked & Wild Cu Cuppa"
Cue Cappa are much more common 'round here.

[Taz-in-Space]

Hmmmm, with 9 voters so far we have...

23 total votes adding up to 253% http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

There appears to be a voting problem. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

The road kill cantina?!

Bah; no style and dignity at all...

[mac5732]

sj,sorry about spelling, in hurry to get it out and granddaugher was sitting on my lap and was helping..... will fix in final poll

"23 total votes adding up to 253%"

Not at all. Remember that you're allowed to vote THREE times. So we're actually short votes.

[mac5732]

Since there appears to be requests to keep the current name, the top 3 vote getters will face off against the current name in the final poll.

Keep those votes coming in......

just some ideas mac

[Growltigga]

I vote for 'Ye Olde Phong's Head and Galactic Bar and Grill"

Cantina's in England tend to be rather horribly cheap nasty Mexican restuarants which are guaranteed to infect/infest you with the parasite of your choice - despite appearances, the YOGBAGAPHC was never quite that bad

[Growltigga]

who on earth came up with THE ROAD KILL CANTINA?

That is disgusting

How about "The Old Broken Piston" (from the joke about the man outside the pub lieing under his car who is asked by a drunkard what the problem is, "piston broke" says the fellah, "same as me then" says the drunkard)

[Atrocities]

Man, this poll is really getting some hits.

[tesco samoa]

you should put the orginal name in there... to see if this change is only brough on by an english man

and so what if the nomad is wondering, i bet he has a lot to wonder about.

GT, to paraphrase our (not your) fearless leader, "you have Mexicans in England?" (refering to GWB's not-so-famous blunder "you have Blacks in Brazil?"). seedy parasites are the best kind of parasites, i say you keep calling it a cantina.

and how about the Cue Cappa Pool Hall? you could call the line to get to the little alien's room the 'Cappa Queue.

(and now i shall duck and run for the door)

Well, I wondered if anyone even saw my post. Apparently no one gets the references, even though we're full of Trek fans here. 10 Forward on the Enterprise-D is reasonably famous, isn't it?

I haven't been here long but but with 1270 Messages why change a classic

[Baron Munchausen]

Uh... TNG does have a cheese factor but what Trek series doesn't? What do you consider 'real' Trek? TOS?

[Puke]

oh yeah, TOS was some hardcore sci-fi. mother of it all, no laughing matter. unless you are unfortunate enough to step on an exploding rock or were planning on hijacking a starship for a trip to the garden of eden. let us not forget 'brain, brain, what is brain?'

which reminds me of an old sluggy comic. for those (99.9%) of you who probably dont read it, the characers have accidentially transformed their friend Zoe into a camel, and are trying to fix the situation:

[Ragnarok]

lol! That comic was great.

[mac5732]

Bump, we're running out of time, so those who want to vote please do so, voting will close on Midnight this Friday with results posted sometime this weekend.

tks for everyone's input and vote

just some ideas mac

[Gozra]

The Chancellors Retreat

[TerranC]

Monstrous BUMP

[Kamog]

OK, I voted! But it seems that this poll is for the Last time the Cantina was restarted, not this time... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif

By the way, is the new Cantina going to have a 2000-post time limit on it as well? Why did the founders set a time limit, anyway?

[Puke]

the founders didnt set a limit. and it isnt necessarily at 2000. i just thought we would all start shooting at 2000, and see when we drag it down. someone else came up with the plan that we were stopping there.

as for the founders, its far less formal than you think. read the first few Posts of the first cantina, and of this one.
