Planetarion Forums - View Single Post - vote for the round name included in signup

There are *alot* of names that are submitted; as such, it would actually be a fairly big burden on anyone signing up to actually go through and select the one (or ones) that they liked the most. Further, the winning percentage would be like less than 4%, thus it could be said that 96% of people did not want that name, which doesnt really improve the decision making.

Having said that, i dont mind having a shortlist made available, but that's already done on the forums.

The problem with signup though, is that the roundname is usually decided upon when the new round is announced; eg "Planetarion Round 22: The Llama Factory has begun! Signups: now" etc. the roundname not being decided upon untill the third day of the round is a bit late, perhaps.
