    Okay, so it looks like Mister/Miss EoFF is hitting a store near you in November. Oh well, that gives me more time to do my homework.

    Unfortunately, a lot of you here are correct in saying that people only judge the person. Perhaps we should all try to vote for the name this time, ignoring the personality behind it. That would be fair, wouldn't it?

    I approve of voting for names rather than people.

    I prefer names that are... I don't know, not real things, like objects (Crunchy Beverage), but sound somewhat namelike, rather than title-like. I will never vote for a name with numbers or underscores. I don't vote for names because they're "clever." I vote for names I think sound good, and roll rhythmically from the tongue. That's why I'd always vote for a name like "Calliope" before I'd vote for "Spaceman Spiff," or "Yamaneko" before "Ifrit's Bodyguard." Thankfully for them, my lack of knowledge of other languages helps those people who have, say, Japanese names, despite the fact that they might actually mean something like "Cute Dragon Knight" if they were translated.

    That being said, I still think edczxcvbnm should win. I like the way it sounds when I say it, okay?

    But... but my name suggests POWER. And MIGHT. And COOLNESS. Watch:

    SPACEMAN SPIFF!! *bum ba dum!* See? Will you vote for me now? Good. *gives you a sticker.*

    It'll just be a popularity contest, besides my names too bland to win.

    I like Spiff's name. See, this is an instance where we should vote for the name, regardless of how annoying and obnoxious the member may be.

    Ooh, we should grade names according to how ear-friendly, original and whatever else they are *nods* Nobody should vote according to popularity... =/

    People such as Melted Snowman and Not At All Reno and Fwab should get megavotes. Oh yeah. Fwab. *dreams*
