Hey guys, I just noticed that "Amphora" won the vote. I have several issues with this.
1) Amphora wasn't in the first list of items to vote on. I'm confused as to how it ended up in the "final" round. The fact that it did makes me feel like the first round of votes were totally disregarded. 2) The first vote was on Wednesday. The "final" vote was due less that 24 hours after that vote. This did not give me enough time to vote as I was rather busy and I'm sure other were as well. This is more of a minor point, however, as I realize we can't wait for the world to vote otherwise we would get nowhere. The bigger issue is that I was able to vote in the first round and was fine with the top 5 first round items going to the final round. As far as I know amphora wasn't in the first round. 3) The word amphora is a very specific type of physical container used in Greco-Roman times to store a variety of things such as water, wine, and grain (yay 8th grade classical heritage!). This makes no sense for what we are trying to name other than the fact that it relates to a container. In my mind, the words vase and jug should have also been added to the final round if that's the precedent we want to set. If amphora were in the first round I would be okay if majority won. I just feel the democratic process was not followed the way it should have been. All this said, I don't want to stifle progress so I don't necessarily want a re-vote. I just want to make sure we are not setting a bad precedent for voting on future items.
