NAME VOTING HERE

Since Peta wanted us to vote, here's where you can do it.
Cast one vote for your favourite name and keep the chatter to a minimum! 
I guess Peta or somebody will count up the voting (and then pick whatever she/they wanted to call it in the first place...) and then the official announcement will be made.

I'll vote for 'Prefects' too - clear, crisp, clean... just right

"Towel Bearer" will be my choice too!
"ACE" won't make it, even though it's shorter and easier to use (and has a relevant meaning as an acronym).

That's the problem with this style of voting. Everyone is voting for the more popular choices, not picking their own. What would you have voted for had it not been so clearly between "Prefect" and "Towel's"?

Hi Irving!
Three things:
1. This thread was not meant for debate, I suppose.
2. If everyone voted for his own choice, and every choice came out only once, voting wouldn't serve any purpose. In the end, there would be no winner after all. Thus people are choosing a name that has two virtues:
>a. It's one of the most popular choices.
>b. It suits them better than any of the other poular choices.
3. Don't lure anyone into entering two distinct choices, because that makes counting the votes rather tedious in the end.
