    Well now it's confusing.. I thought everyone wanted Ant.. but now it seems like 98% of people want the Potato.. hmmmm

    I'll talk to folks see if we can get something set up to play for the name :)

    I foresee a 3 way fight, Bolo vs. Ant vs Potato

    Maybe we could do it puppetmaster style like the Able Gamers Tournament (speaking of, it would be cool to do another one of these this year) so that the community can support their champion. Probably not with real money, just give everyone 20 "tokens" or something, and what units can be spawned would need balancing, but would be fun as heck.

    Where does the 98% come from? And I shall fight for the Ant, if potato comes into it, I shall turn my back on this undertaking.

    Well to be honest.. i only counted the one post. so only the one person voted. and he was about 2% in doubt himself.

    You should give Canadian opinion polling firms a lecture on statistical significance lol

    It may not improve the quality but they would annoy us a lot less with their incessant phone calls.

    The name will finally be changed to ant and then 80% of the community will want BOLO back. :p
