A voting live...! How exciting!

[heroicsacrifeyes]

Thank you! I look forward to seeing what everyone decides.

[malignstar]

Think it's serious enough?

[we_meet_again]

Considering how behind we are, it's probably lucky we can get points by gathering information.

[justfuckingtryit]

You're just going to let whoever wants to vote pick your names?

[heroicsacrifeyes]

We're going to take popular vote into consideration to help inform our decision, but ultimately it's our choice.

[This is just an excuse for points tbh]

[we_meet_again]

I think they're going to make the final call on whether or not they accept a name [have we learned nothing from Boaty McBoatface], but it's helpful to get some extra suggestions.



Also, I guess we get points for this.

[liarliarliar]

Matchy matchy.

[heroicsacrifeyes]

Thanks for your input! One of our members was already suggested Sunset, matchy matchy with everyone would be cute.

[nohalation]

Oh yay, Sunrise can match Sunset, that'd be very cute I think! And I still think Daemon of the Sunshine would be very nice as a whole, a proper title and everything!

[heroicsacrifeyes]

Ooh! That is nice, good thinking Angel-san.

[carnivorouscarnival]

—Ah. Consider "Red" officially vetoed. Overruled, kiddos!

[heroicsacrifeyes]

Oh no! An option struck off already.

[awakenerd]

This is one way to pick names I guess.

[heroicsacrifeyes]

If we all get points for it, why not?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Okay. Dude. Your powers and your lives are really cool.

I'm kinda jealous.

[heroicsacrifeyes]

You've heard about our powerset? It does sound cool, but I bet you've got cool stuff too.

[shutthefoxup]

Matching names are good for popularity, but harder for remembering who is who.

[heroicsacrifeyes]

Ooh, good point, we wouldn't want to confuse people. Angel-san suggested combining them into titles, like Daemon of the Sunshine. I could be Scarlet Sunrise, then there's something more distinguishable about us.

Additional name suggestions

[worldlyafflictions]

Oh yeah,

If ya met a pep ya don't see on the poll here and got a name suggestion, go ahead 'n leave it with me! No guarantees we'll use it though! And pretty sure Cobalt-san is sticking ta his, so we're not accepting entries for him. Please nickname him at your own leisure~

submit here

[worldlyafflictions]

((use this if you just wanna drop off a name. comment to top-level for threading a response.))

[bluerosestyle]

[votes!]

Matching names for a unit are a nice idea, but what others have said is true... It could be confusing with something like this. Maybe if you pick matching surnames?

[malignstar]

Who uses surnames?

[ Aside from the boyfriend he does not yet remember. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Imagine getting stuck with the name squeaker. A fate worse than death. ]

How did you arrive at these options?

[malignstar]

Profiles. Traits. Matching ideas. And the Colonel's lovely input.

[inspiteful]

Matching or themed names would be pretty cute.

[malignstar]

We're getting mixed messages here.

[artificialinelegance]

Scarlet Flare.

[malignstar]

Oooh, a wild card. Combining choices from two separate polls. How daring.

[lovestained]

It seems like Red's a very popular name.

[malignstar]

Easy choice for redheads I guess.

[unbr8kable]

So how bad're the write-in suggestions you've been getting?

[malignstar]

Not a single one! Want to be the first and live up to your namesake?

[forgottenmercy]

You should, ah, probably pick something short, for ease of use.

[malignstar]

Good point! Got to have something for people to yell when under duress.

[mycaringheart]

I suppose you weren't interested in what your profiles say?

[he can definitely understand that much, at least

(he may have missed pep!pep!'s initial introduction, but sure, he can take a new unit in stride)]

[malignstar]

We've got those options up there. No reason to rule them out just because our kidnappers came up with them. This is a way to reclaim them.

[calmthefoxdown]

A live about voting? That's interesting.

If you go for the matching names, be potentially prepared for people mixing up your names.

[heroicsacrifeyes]

Voting lives! Look forward to your daily polls, it should give easy points for everyone.

People have mentioned matching causing confusion, that’s why we’re thinking about combo names to differentiate. Scarlet Sunrise! Daemon of the Sunshine!

[sancrimony]

If you pick Sunrise-san and Sunshine-san, then you can be "Rise and Shine"!

[malignstar]

Cute! Another great observation.

[sleeplessknight]

Oh, oh! Can I vote too? I like the matchy ones!

[malignstar]

How could I ever deny such a pretty face? Go for it!

By the way, do we need to poll for you too?
