Yes, because the "something else" crowd is very fragmented.
People may have a favorite alternative option, but without that, the may just vote for KZ.
We need a championship vote, just so we know for certain that we have the name the majority wants.

You forgot 'Using tax dollars to pay for bribes and smoke-screen media in order to bolster your public opinion' :P
I figured there would be a run off no matter what.

Exactly after these couple of votes that have gone down. Its been narrowed down and down each displaying what makes a little bit more people happier.
After a championship vote we will know what makes people the most happiest. ALTHOUGH some may not be super happy. Due to there original vote didnt get picked.

Forget that, our government is totally broken. What we should have done was a system that works. Like the NFL. Put up all suggestions, everyone votes, and the names are seeded 1-whatever. Playoffs, and BAM name decided.
Come to think of it, our government would work better that way too, get the entire election process over in 1 month. It would work until Allakhazam was inevitably voted president.
Edit:
LOL Allakhazam was C huck N orris in my original post.

Once a names been picked. We could do a vote to see if people are happy with it. If not we could start from ground zero again. Do 50 more votes. lol, jk.

Or until Allahkazam was found to be using performance-enhancing drugs. Then the sex scandals and media circus. It'd be a mess.
Our electoral system is far from perfect... actually far from good... but it's what we've got, and it kinda sorta works in little niche cases like this one where we're just trying to make a simple decision as fairly as possible.

What we should do is let whoever wins American Idol throw a dart at a map of the US. Then we look where the dart lands, and fly a monkey out to that location and kick it's little *** out of the back. It has a parachute, don't worry. The monkey lands in that area, and the first person that monkey holds hands with gets to be the President.

Say Karma Zameleons Vs ZAM. Whats to say that all those people who voted in the original vote that didnt vote for Karma. Wouldn't pick Karma Zameleons in a vote between Karma vs ZAM.
This says it... ZAM Free Company Name

Yea but, whos to say that the people wanting a new name wouldnt pick Karma , if there choice out of the many alternatives wasnt up for vote in the championship vote?
Maybe the many people that wanted an alternative would pick Karma over the Final alternative.

I love the name Kracken Club, but it suffers from the same problem as something like the guild name Blood Bath and Beyond in WoW. Somebody thought of it originally, and props to them, then it was ripped off repeatedly for years. As a result, it isn't very original and quite a bit overused. I love the name, but that is why I didn't vote for it.

If I had time I would photoshop an image from The Breakfast club with all of them wearing AF, and all of them holding a Kraken Club.
If ZAM Wins this vote. I predict It may have a chance against Karma Zameleons.
However.
If Kraken Club wins this vote. I predict it will be a landslide victory for Karma Zameleons.

I figured out the ultimate solution.
Kraken ZAMeleons. Done. Debate over.

Well, if it's anything like our (America's) electoral process, as hinted by previous posts, it's probably rigged, so it doesn't matter anyhow.
ZAM doesn't have any soul. Allakhazam does.

I hate abbreviations and acronyms. It reminds me of the texting culture.

At least Kraken Club is winning now, and not "ZAM".
I say make one of each and duke it out in the Colosseum.
Nuit Midril - White Mage/Scholar on Ultros
Nuit the Insane! - Retired Druid on Sentinels.
Ombre - Retired Dragoon/bard on Phoenix.
I toss a late entry into the ring: Kraken KhlaZAM!
