btw how many votes are there planned before the Horatio Hero Bio vote on 25 April? Horatio logo vote? Ship design vote?
That's the beauty of the dgeree of customisation the game offers. We can undo all the hard work the Devs have done with the click of a mouse when the game is released!
I wonder if there are any mixed feelings about this?
I'm a Latin lover myself. Just militaristic enough 'Sermper Fi!' and harking back to one of the great earth empires that conquered the known world before crumbling in upon itself
That is my kind of game 'The Rise and Fall of Horatio' has a nice epic feel about it

+1 This plus the aesthetics of the font + wording made me choose the third option.

Yeah, that's mostly why I choose them. The "beauty" of the names is perceived both when spoken and when read.

Am I the only one to think that this vote is a no brainer ? One from the three options is so close to what Horatios are... for a race that puts beauty, sorry, Horatio's Beauty above all else, only one choice can reflect that.
This was my first G2G vote, and I really like the presentation of it with short videos. Makes you feel like you could make the difference with your own opinion. I won't comment on my own vote, but I could really live with two of the proposed choices.

The latin names are what suit the most the idea of "grandeur". Numbers and Polytope aren't connected to some sort of beauty. The numbers are in no way close to something beautiful. Even if for ancient greek mathematicians shapes were something that would accomplish perfection (golden number anyone ?), it's not enough megalomaniacal.
Latin names have that "I'm bigger, better than you" feeling tied to the roman empire.
Concerning me, i found no obvious choice, because i was not really convinced by the three propositions. I didn't find any that fits perfectly to my Horatio image.

That's what is really interesting. You choices are very well done because there was one obvious choice for me (the same as VieuxChat I assume) but I have no doubt that for someone else, the obvious choice will be different.
I just wanted to add that we're implementing a quick feature on the website so we can have some pictures displayed as well for the votes.
There won't be an enlarge picture feature, this will come later so small simple picture (like logos) can only be displayed as a starter.
As soon as this is up, we'll add a vote so you can all choose the Horatio's faction logo. I hope this will be done soon. Might not be before the week-end but certainly beg of next week.

Well I took the first actually. They seem to like their serial-numbers and thus why not the same for shiptypes even though the actual names for ships can be made beautiful.
To me the ship names in the third video sound more clean and beautiful, those in the second video are titles and have kind of a militaristic feel about them. The names in the first video, although reminding those of the heroes, do not sound esthetic and harmonic.
