So...

Are we finally going to give a name to IRC Assistant?

Hannibal? Emperor Palpatine? Zuke? :twisted:

Okay, here's some of the names:

Majel
Multivac
Zen
Llandru
Mike
HAL
Q
Zuke
Pieathon
The Pup

I think we should have a poll, then I'll make the final decision.

Here's how you vote in this poll, after all, I wouldn't just have an ordinary poll...

Here's how you vote - you submit to me a rank of what names you like best, from the best to worst.

Any names you don't bother to list will be considered equally worse than the ones you do list.

For example:

Majel
Zuke
Q
HAL
Multivac

The votes are then tallied in pairwise matchups between the names.

In the example ballot, Majel would win against all. Zuke wins against all but Majel, etc. Each win is one vote for the winner in that matchup.

The one who wins the most matchups is the winner.

Understand?

If you don't, go here: Wikipedia: Condorcet Method Voting

Still don't?

Well, you don't have to know exactly how it works to vote, just submit a list of your favorite to least favorite names, and feel free to omit some.

And, if you do understand, congratulations! Yay!


These votes can be sent to me by PM, email, IM, or saying it in the IRC works also.

Don't worry, no one will ever know who voted for what, it is a secret ballot.

Have you installed any IRC programs? For example: mIRC, Trillian, etc.

If you haven't, to install mIRC, go here:

mIRC Downloads

Once you've downloaded and installed it, type this in the bottom text bar:

/server irc.xeroc.hopto.org

Then type:

/join #5mv

You should see a message saying "Welcome to Five-Minute Voyager Chat..."

If that doesn't work, post here, PM, or email me.

i would simply like to vote for: Q
It seems appropriate, I think. especially if it makes random comments appear.

also, I had mIRC, but i haven't tried your suggestion yet. will try when i get home.
