"odd"
Continue as before after notifying team, when I reach maximum safe operation peramaters return with new info after scanning / videoing weird blue glow source.

[Prosperus]

Go to party and perform robot dance.

((From tomorrow I will be away from home for a week. I should have internet access where I am going, but maybe not a lot of time to actually check the thread. Just so you guys know. ))

((@Thearpox: Easy, fool's hope is about the base, not the planet. The name refers to the hope people have.that they will be safe here and that Mesk will practice normal medicine and put them back together.))

[Sean Mirrsen]

((I still propose DeathtrAP-1774. ))

[Thearpox]

The name refers to the hope people have.that they will be safe here

((Then it's just an outcry of pessimism. Still don't like it.))

that Mask will practice normal medicine and put them back together.))

((It's Mesk, not Mask.  ))

((I still propose DeathtrAP-1774. ))

((This name, on the other hand, I find really funny, and I would support it.

But seriously, stupid stylistic arguments are a given when talking about what names we should have. So I am easy about it.))

[Unholy_Pariah]

I would suggest canary base as the metaphor applies... but it just doesnt sound right for an expedition led by homicidal robotic overlords

[Parisbre56]

((We can always spraypaint Gilgamesh yellow! 

And sorry about the spelling errors. Writing from my phone.

And again, it's a name for the base, not the planet.))

[Yoink]

((If I had a vote, it'd go to Fool's Hope.
We're all fools to get into the HMRC in the first place, after all.
Buut, I don't have a vote. If you find yourself thinking, "what would Yoink do?", refer to the above.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

(((Am I allowed a vote?)))

((C'mon, I proposed a good name! And "Party Heaven" sounds like something a frat house would be referred to as...

Here's another: Aquitaine Base))

((Trash is never a good name. On any language.))

((?

I never suggested anything like trash...

... Okay, it was another mistranslation, it should mean 'The Wastes', not 'The Waste'. Changes the meaning entirely.

Also, modify Aquitaine to Zeitlos Aquitaine.))

((He likely also referred to "Die Abfälle" which (that or the singular "Abfall") - depending on context - is usually used as a synonym for "Müll". Both basically mean "trash"))

[Toaster]

((Canary Base is actually pretty clever.))

[Thearpox]

((I say we do a preference voting. Everyone on a mission posts their choices from high to low, then all number 1 choices are added up. If they are below 50%, the lowest one gets illuminated, and of those who chose it, their number 2 is applied. Continue until one reaches 50% or more. So if everyone has anymore ideas (or I missed any, because I think I have) please tell me. Otherwise, here are our choices. The one good thing about preference voting, is that I can post all the horrible ideas without any judging, without messing up the system. I know that a couple have been withdrawn already, but if that is so, simply don't vote for them.

Make one vote for the planetoid's name, and one vote for the base name. We'll just use the same group of names to not overcomplicate it. If the same names are chosen, we'll just roll with it.

So, should we do the voting, or something else? Because we don't have to do this.))

[Parisbre56]

- voting stuff -

((Shouldn't that be two votes though? One for planetoid name and one for base name? I'm saying since Vastitatibus Temporis was proposed by Simus as a name for the planetoid and I kinda went with it since nobody suggested something else.

EDIT: I thought interest in naming the base had died down but I'm seeing it hasn't so I'll hold off the naming for later. Editing action post.))

((If you want to have it different, sure. I'll edit that.

EDIT IN RESPONCE TO EDIT: I have no idea whether it's died down or not. These things can spring up spontaneously. Do whatever IC action you want.))

[Unholy_Pariah]

Id say you should get 3 votes for each, just to keep it simple.

So...

1) Steves Glory
2) DeathtrAP-1774
3) Land of the gravimetric nutcrushers

Base:
1)canary base
