    For now, joining order is winning. I think it would be the easiest to keep track of, whether you include active only or not.

    As to giving priority, I don't see why. In a democracy, all are supposed to be equal. Esp. since the game has started, this could have changed how many ran for office since some would consider the perk of being one of the first to name important, but not me.

      If it's a tie, is it up to Trip?

        Also if ministers have priority - whatever the principal method - it is obvious I think that they should be excluded if their number comes up later in the normal course of running through the list.
        I agree with Proserpine's formulation, and if members don't provide names in time, they should go to the end of the list.

        Joining order avoids any appearance of chicanery or favoritism (I know Trip is honorable, but someone else?). It's a pre-determined order.

        After the cabinet members have had their turns, special rewards should not alter this order. Only a new cabinet member would move to the top of the list.

        However, honors could and should include the right to name geographical features.

          I agree wiht Purple, though I should add that honoured members should only be allowed to name one landmark.

              bump

              vote other, or joining order.

              would u like someone who has posted three times to have a city named after them? while our beloved ministers and president are ignored?

                My vote goes for other. Ministers and President first, then joining order. I know I have not been so active these last few days, but that is because I'm posting from work, because my home computer is... how could I say it... on vacation.
                Or, if you want a more historical flavor, I have been working in the jungle for a loong time, and my contact with our civilization is not so frequent, which bothers me the most, because I miss my beloved wife, who is living in Apolyton and... (Ok, I think you got the point).
                I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                  I think people who never posted (or post sparingly) would probably be dropped from consideration...

                    It's staying fairly close, still.

                      Since so many people want it, I'll come up with another proposal regarding excluding inactive members, and giving the Ministers some priority. Note, that will go along with the results of this poll, and not overrule it (so, ministers get first pick, then it's random, or ministers get first pick, and then we go in order).

                        Not another poll, please anything but that. This thing has been polled to death.

                          One more bump. It looks as though random is pulling ahead, but joining-order may make a come-back.

                              Well then, nevermind.

                              Alright, loading up the program... 154 members total now... Okay, let's do it:

                              After the Ministers (since it appears as though Ministers will get first pick), the order will beeeeeeee:

                              94) johncmcleod
                              129) Papa Chubby
                              27) hetairoi22
                              72) Spiffor
                              92) TrueLight
                              34) Juliennew
                              58) Flip McWho
                              138) joost1110
                              91) wervdon
                              138) joost1110

                              Since 138 was picked twice the first time (what are the odds), I'll run it one more time with 1 number. Better fix that in the meantime... Also, Spiffor is a Minister, so I'll go ahead and do another one for that also.

                              132) godinex
                              120) furbster

                              So there you have them. The first 10 people to choose names (after the Ministers). The PMs are already on their way. First ones to respond will be the first names used.

                              Sorry about the sloppy screenshot, next time I'll make it prettier.
