Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #16: Name Finalization

Shade · Jul 14, 2006

OK, Glupskulle (or one of its variants) is the big winner. Now vote on how to spell it.

Skelvbergjotun.

What?

I'll have to think about it a bit.

+1 Glupskul, coz swedish (Glupskulle) sounds like singing. (I'm talking about fairy/elf style singing, not orc/dwarf metal vocals.)

Awww, crap! 3-way tie.

I shouldn't have made this one multiple selection.

T'was my fault, that.

I shouldn't have made this one multiple selection.

I didn't realise that it was multiple selection poll - not that it would have changed things.

probably my fault, really, for chosing all three.

i knew i should have withheld my vote as a tie-breaker...

Well...awesome. My double vote gives us a tie between the 2 that I voted for. Of the two, I prefer Glupskulle over the single "l".

Hey, right now we've got 18 votes from 11 voters. Would you rather have had 7 votes less?

The chance of getting a tie decreases as the total number of votes increases, so allowing multiple votes will always tend to reduce the likelihood of a tie.

PS: voted against -skule, because it sounds too much like "school". I would also have voted for Glups-kul or Glups-kull if that were an option.
