Yeah I'm really digging what you're saying. It has so many connotations and meanings.
Inspiring speech from TheEyes, Goodbye Purify from my vote.
I really don't see how you get this from "Purify", since it has nothing to do with leadership.
I advise just switching whole hog to "Unity", because the way the tally system works they are counted as entirely different things, so Unison will probably disappear into the void from lack of other votes, and Unity will be one point less than what you would prefer. Now is a terrible choice to use two words for one thing, especially if others tag along!
The entire point of the ranked system is to mitigate tactical voting. It is perfectly acceptable for @Coda to list both.
Unlike Liberty and Unison, which are Words designed as declarations that the Shiplords simply don't fit, or Resolution which I presume is an empowerment designed to make the Medicament easier to handle, Purify is a command. "Purify" commands Amanda's Practice to scourge what she considered unclean or unworthy. And good thing it does, too, because if everyone had gone with "Purity" instead then the immediate effect could backfire as well, enhancing the Medicament's already fairly pure Evil and making it even harder to damage.
Which is why I'm okay with using that dreaded terminology, since it was unlikely to descend into a horrible mess. I'm more worried about him accidently kicking off a sort of anti-tactical vote, by splitting one-concept word into two words that would be counted seperately.
This is why I voted for it. It directly addresses the discord Amanda feels, without the stronger possible repercussions from Purify. The latter is good because it gives direction to her outburst. My ideal would be something that combines the two, but I don't know how to express that.
It's ranked, not weighted. Options get dropped from votes as they fail to achieve popularity and the remaining rankings stay in the preference order they started with.
If you want a verb, Resolve is an option.
'Resolve' doesn't have the musical connotations that Resolution has. Not being a verb is it's primary weakness, but it is closer to Amanda's nature than Purify. *sigh*
I actually don't want a verb. I admit this part is pure speculation on my part, but it makes sense to me that nouns/adjectives would be more "Guidance/Insight"-themed, whereas verbs would be more "Command"-themed, at least when you think about Power Words, and I'm more of the opinion that we should be aiming for something Guidance-themed.
Yes it does. In fact, it's probably closer to music than "resolution" is -- you say that a suspended chord resolves into the tonic, for example.
I'll take your word for it. It is time for hobbits to be in bed, and the old thinkerbox is fogging up. Good night all.
OK, but what do you see for it implying for Amanda, the 223, or our Civilization at large? Remember, Snowfire is describing this as the most important vote in the game, so it's going to have FAR REACHING CONSEQUENCES.
Yeah, it'll probably turn out all right in the end. Looking forward to how it all turns out.
