True. Or people will just think I'm being a pain by sticking with the same name from the SPDG...

Seriously, if a jungle name wins, we will just put out a generic name in the news items.

Exactly.

Jungle Gazette has history (and unfortunately, accuracy) to it, making it the most proper name.

Besides, the letterhead would need VERY little editting as well...

Im debating that currently. Seems there is plenty of opposition to the word Jungle out there. We'll see how it plays out.

Randolph,

right now, it is 10-10 for or against the word Jungle. If the end tally is similar, I will likely take the top choice of each and put it in a runoff poll.

However, that will likely leave the first edition I am planning for Sat without an official title...Oh well, can't always be perfect.

I think it's obvious that any 'public' name that we offer should not include jungle. People will get suspicious, even if they know about the first version of it. We'll just have a 'private' version, and a 'public' version.

Yes I did. This is MY poll, not some official garbage of a poll. I could have just named the thing and went on, but this is more fun.

The answer is that if the poll ends up close, I will make a runoff between the top two names, especially more so if those two are one with a 'jungle' name and one without.

Everybody is referring to the demogame paper as The Gazette, jungle always omitted. So there is no need to put again jungle in it; lets call it directly The Gazette.

My original question was "Will there be a run-off if there's no title that recieves more than 50% of the vote?"

So are you just a jerk or do you not realize that this is a yes or no question? It may be your poll, but it is our paper; so my question is valid one.

I do not need your attitude about what you feel you can and cannot do and whose permission you need to do it. This is a 'team' effort and you are no greater than anyone else. Why would you call an official poll a 'garbage poll'?

Agreed, Unorthodox uses his own time to bring us these papers, as that is one of his major contributions to the game (among other things). It's entertaining and if your not able to keep up with events in the game, somewhat informative. When I had started in the SPDG, reading all of the past issues (of the Gazette) had allowed me to know much more about what had happened and was happening, than wadeing through pages of old threads. Plus it was the thing that had gotten me to join the SPDG.

UnOrtho, Please pay no attention to the unwashed....

Well, this isn't true. This is the UnOrthOdOx's paper. He's founding his own paper. Free press, not the Pravda. He's open for contributions, as he did in the original Jungle Gazette, but he's the owner, the administrator, publisher and editor. One of the best I've worked in my 30 years in this job. I'm not kidding...
Thanks, UnorthO!

bigfree, you can (as suggested) open your own business... Our government is Despotism, but this is a free country.

Maybe using the word 'jerk' was harsh.

But when I asked a simple yes or no question and I didn't get a yes or no answer I don't feel that the question was answered adequately. So I repeated the question.

Nobody had to answer either question, but since an attempt was made and it was then followed by his apparent snide remarks saying "Yes I did....."(saying that he had answered my question) when in fact the question was not directly answered. This is an insult to me. He's saying that he did answer my question but for whatever reason I'm not capable of understanding it. It may have been a sufficient answer in his or others opinions, but it gives no cause for him to be rude towards me for it. And the remark about 'garbage polls' got me ticked off as well; how did that apply to my question!?

I felt that he was the one to get 'smart' first; then I returned the shot. I'm not one to back down from something when I feel that I've been slighted. I hope most of the people in here feel the same way if someone were to insult them.

It might be him writing the paper but it is going to include items that were posted in this private forum about our team. So to say he can do whatever he feels like seems a little boorish to me.

Unorthodox; I do, however, apologize for calling you a jerk.

I will not comment further on this.
