From the 70 suggested names we picked 15 of the best and most suitable candidates which don't conflict with anything else out there on the interwebs.

Is there any way to see what is winning at this moment?
I decided as long as I was going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly.

Sorry ThorSummoner, it didn't make it through the shortlisting process. The names listed here are the ones that had more plus votes than minus votes, in other words, they are the names that admins find the least objectionable.

No, because in order to be completely fair and impartial it is important that nobody knows which is in the lead. If you voted and could see which was winning you could say it to someone else and their vote might be influenced by that. Secret ballot is the way to go.

Those that don't know pain can never know true peace!

Short horror story:

The last man on Earth was sitting down at his home. There was a knock on the door.

The End. :)

Yes Sir, at first we will call it "WhatEverTheNameIs" (Formally PK3)" to make sure old players don't get lost. Then we will slowley transition it to the new name.
Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.

The new group name is:

Insomniac Servers


The voting was a 3-way tie between:
- Insomniac Servers
- Paradox Krew
- PyroKinetic Servers

To settle the tie-breaker we took a look at all 3 names, and taking into consideration feedback given by some long-standing admins who prefer not to carry the moniker "PK" or "PKS" as PowerHouse requested, the new group and forum name is Insomniac Servers.

Its a cool name, and is actually quite suitable for a games clan where some of our servers are populated pretty much 24 hours a day - our servers never sleep!

Thanks to all for helping to come up with the ideas and for voting.
Now, for some catchy logos and phrases....  8)
