-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 D E C L A R A T I O N O F R E S U L T S 2nd vote November 3rd, 2015 Hi everyone, this is the formal declaration of results on the 2nd vote of the TSC team. It contains the official number of voting ballots counted, their chosen options, and it states the outcome of the vote. History °°°°°°° - - 2015-10-11: Vote announcement http://lists.secretchronicles.de/tsc-devel/2015/10/0000023.html <87si5hsxnu.fsf(a)atlantis.cable.internal.west-ik.de&gt; - - 2015-10-25: Call for Votes http://lists.secretchronicles.de/tsc-devel/2015/10/0000075.html <8737wyzqhh.fsf(a)hades.cable.internal.west-ik.de&gt; - - 2015-11-03: Declaration of results (this message) Proponent °°°°°°°°° The vote was proposed by me, Quintus <quintus(a)quintilianus.eu&gt;. Vote Subject °°°°°°°°°°°° There was a discussion spawned in the issue tracker (ticket #441[1]) about whether or not to rename the special mode that makes Alex invincible from “Funky God Mode” to something different. The main argument was that the term might be perceived as an unnecessary and maybe even blasphemic use of the name of God for highly religious Christians. There has been a good number of pros and cons being exchanged on the tracker, which I advise everyone to carefully read before making a decision. As it appears to be impossible to find a compromise (one can’t really change the name only partly) and there are people arguing for both options, I determined a vote was necessary to clear the matter up. To ease things, this vote not only decides about whether to rename current God Mode, but also about what to rename it to exactly to prevent nececcisity of another voting procedure. By voting for option 1 below, you indicate you want to keep the current naming, voting for any other option is a vote against the current naming and in favour of another name (the one you vote for). Votes °°°°° - From 9 people allowed to vote (8 mentioned in the announcement message plus Bugsbane who I assure you is in the team but still has not publicised his membership, but has pointed that out on the tracker[2]) 7 did exercise their right to vote, which gives a participation of approx. 77.78%. These are the definitive results: | # | Option name | Votes | Percent | |---+-----------------------------------------------+-------+----------| | 1 | Funky God Mode (i.e. keep the current naming) | 2 | ~28.57 % | | 2 | Funky god mode (“God” not capitalised) | 0 | 0.00 % | | 3 | God Mode | 0 | 0.00 % | | 4 | Dog Mode | 0 | 0.00 % | | 5 | Invincible Mode | 1 | ~14.29 % | | 6 | Omega Mode | 4 | ~57.14 % | | 7 | Underdog Mode | 0 | 0.00 % | |---+-----------------------------------------------+-------+----------| | - | Total | 7 | 100.00 % | Effect of the Vote °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Option #6 has been ACCEPTED by the majority of the team. It is a binding decision the team follows from now on, all circumstances being equal. With regard to the vote subject this means that the current “Funky God Mode” is going to be renamed to “Omega Mode”. Right to Complain °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Every team member has the right to file a complaint against this formal declaration. The complaint must be filed within 14 days from now on (timestamp of this email) with either the project lead or with the project assistant lead. The project lead and assistant lead must file the complaint with one another; if both are involved, a volunteer must be seeked for. The complaint has to contain an explanation as to why the voting rules have been violated. The person the complaint was filed with will then check the procedure against the requirements of the voting rules document, and if he finds a violation, he can declare the vote failed, which allows repetition of the vote in question. Other °°°°° I am going to open an issue on the tracker for keeping track of setting this vote’s results into effect. Quintus TSC project lead.
