I am disappointed that you all want boring designs. At the least let's push the boat out.

Well fuckit, then. Voting the Silverscale because it uses proper, imperial, units.

Vote for the Italian name, with proper measurements. (We're not beating a 5 vote consensus, so we switched.) Your vote can once more tie it. And then second place can decide~
Cordite-derived powder charge is at least more interesting than black powder, technologically. Not by much, but Silverscale is a cool name.

We could have Polish stuff. And play against Kot. Think about how funny that is.

Also, can we have less "we can tie it" as our plan, looking at the 15 pages of salt that happened so far? I don't want to deliberately set the tone of the entire game as half of us competing against the other, especially not with the chance of a cointoss just causing half the team to dip on the first turn.

Both of my submissions are Polish

Also any more calls for intentional ties will be met with very mean words.

Doubt we're going to have tied votes at this rate. M12 gang, want to vote Silverscale? Or solidify the GSR votes?

The Silverscale comes with smokeless powder~

... I would like an explanation of the difference between repeater rifles and self-loading rifles too?

Bro smokeless powder isn't a draw when the M12 and GSR uses it too.

Your guns are lovingly detailed in their craftsmanship. Their ammo.. Not so much. Where does it say it's cordite-derived in the design again? Cause on a first read, and second, and third. Well, there is no direct mention of it.


... Also repeater and self-loader might be the same thing? Kinda un that it mentions Air Guns, again.

Why are we trying to tie? Just vote what you want and if it is more popular people can accept it.

I accept disagreement, whatever, I like the boring option. Stop intentionally tying please.

Mostly cause if it's tied, it encourages people to swap votes. Normally anyway. The mindset of "I don't want to tie the votes" also pushes people to keep the status quo, meaning that there isn't a chance of beating the frontrunner. Someone has to tie the vote in order to challenge the winning option.

Jesus fucking Christ Tric we just got out of a 12 page argument over a tie and you call for another one? Can you honestly not realize how insane that is?

The other option is one of the leading votes to switch to second place. Or for a one of the other votes to switch to and affirm first place. I'm pretty much voting for the best of the remaining Cool options given everything else fell apart.

Also, you never adressed my retort of those two designs not mentioning cordite derived powder, so Silverscale still has that going for it.
