Offical : Base names 6-8 (this time with multiple choice!)

[Hercules]

I went back to the constitution and this is what I found

Base Names:

The alpha talent or the commissioner will pick 5 names from the name thread and will put them in a poll where a
name for a new city can be chosen. This poll has to be open for at least 2 days. The name with the most votes
will be chosen for the base and will be scraped from the list. The same counts for landmarks. If someone wants to
name a place without a landmark a poll has started about giving it a name or not. This poll will also have minimum
of 2 days.

So Is this naming procedure and poll, unconstitutional. or did I miss something?
I looked at Andemagne's initial suggestion in the City Names thread regarding naming bases after citzens (not too different from my own view above, and many others I noted) and while there was discussion, the issue seemed unresolved.

Makahlua:

Oh and as footnote I did put forward 'Bloomsville' as base name suggestion in the name thread but it didn't appeared above. I'm not too upset it didn't appear as I 've changed my proposed name to Cyclops anyhow.

go UNRC!

[Method]

so the poll is closed, i guess it goes

Base 6: Tacticus Academy
Base 7: Concordia
Base 8: Mysidia/Zanarkand Gate

since we have a tie, how about we just cancel those and name base 8 UN Research Complex

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Meh, just hold a quickpoll in the appropriate turnchat. (How many CPs do we have active or under construction?)

[Mr. President]

how about we just cancel those and name base 8 UN Research Complex

That sounds nowhere as cool as either Mysidia or Zanarkand Gate.

[Makahlua]

Well since they tied for 3rd I figured we'd just use em both, so no polling for #9

Hercules: Under the most recent set of changes, the DoBP was given the duty of running naming polls (look up the director's duties section)

Gen.T: I'll make sure DBTS spells it proper when that base is formed

Vlad: a -lot- of them actually! I think I may need to hold a second one to cover em all

And if we did any substituting, it'd be Deus Ex Machina

[Mr. President]

Fair enough.

[Hercules]

Makahlua: I did look it up; this is what it says:

DoBP duties

Posting polls on how our bases should be named

What you have done and it's ok for now obviously, is 'Posting polls on what our bases should be named not how our bases should be named. There is a difference.

Anyhow whatever the interpretation, the constitution needs updating to delete
that part of the constitution in part 11, that I referred to earlier about ' Alpha talent ...5 base names'. The two parts could be viewed as in conflict.

Secondly you might finalise the discussion on how to name bases by a poll: You will recall the thread started by Andemagne. There were a number ways proposed:
1. (As you organised above) all names listed and all citizens have the opportunity to vote
2. Every regular and active citizen to have a base name of their choice.
3. Variations of 2
