/gd/ summer 2018 roster poll results

The Summer 2018 /gd/ Roster Poll++ got 9 votes, all valid. After the previous game day thread got me banned this thread was disguised, and this choice potentially threw off a bit of the normal interest. Because this thread was not banned the next roster poll will not be disguised as this one was.

The poll was formatted as a 10 question survey as opposed to a more simple yay/nay player vote. The first question was essentially part of the thread disguise and largely means nothing. It's included below for completeness.

So what's your opinion on that topic thread?

1 It can be justified, but most of the time it's not worth the squeeze
2 Could use a little bit of an explanation for the newbies
3 When it comes to something not 'comercially' related i think it's not really that bad. Logo sometimes only delivered on a flat surfaces; paper or screens, thus there's not really much to do when designers design a 3D-ish logo unless it has some value in motion-based persentation (i.e. vidya, videos, everything with motion included). But 2D works also can be delivered in ether way, so i think it's just designer's choice.
4 cool, update logo when?
5 video gaymes are gay
6 I can't think of a time where it was done well, but it probably is possible.
7 it CAN work if done right, but it very much is a gimmick and not really a valid one tbdesu
8 p good
9 Smart

During the offseason /gd/ had a joint team with /sci/. Would you be interested in either of these players joining /gd/? You may also use "other..." to suggest new players. [3 respondents abstained from answering]

1 I dunno
2 As long is it isn't .psd you wack ass niggah

Just for fun I've been designing custom kernings for matches. The idea is to dress our boy in reference to the opposing team. If you've got any ideas for outfits against specific teams feel free to let me know here and if it's practical I'll try to make it happen [6 respondents abstained from answering]

1 IDK you do you they're cute
2 eh how do i contact you? i'll fill this form when i got any idea though, if any
3 A dog for /an/ and either a Meowth or an Espurr for /vp/

Any other thoughts/feelings/hot takes/shitposts? [3 respondents abstained from answering]

1 Benis fug :DDD
2 Bring Back M3OW
3 Irc? a few days ago I went ahead join a discord channel posts on /gd/, and there's 2 stands out. One of them is a self advertise a shitty designer (>kyl*gr) and the other one is genuine /gd/fags. But one with genuine /gd/ post is deleted. 
I'm just wondering if this will be talked somewhere else with real-time response, probable you should post/repost when you and your team is online on irc, and have a real time chat on there.
4 just sayin, you dont have to it 
5 Ravioli Ravioli win me the cupioli
6 Nice epic I like it, keep up the good work.

Takeaways

• No one is asking for a lot of new player anymore nor are they asking for no new players. This probably means we've reached a decent turnover rate.
• Cracked will live.
• Design My Cock is sacked. /gd/'s bias against computer heads continues. Spin well benis.
• Because they still trust Untitled-1.AI and the rules now allow a solo keeper Untitled-1.BMP.7Z.001 is also sacked. Poor guy didn't even set foot on the pitch!
• No one suggested demoting any Gold/Silver medals and widely chose the incumbent bronze medals to remain. This seems to suggest they're either ok with how it is now or just generally unsure of what could replace them. Which is true for people is probably a good question for the next poll.
• Though they found a bit of support the /scigd/ players didn't really do well broadly. Because there are two open slots at least one of them will probably join the team, but adding both seems overkill and probably won't happen.
• Aesthetic flags of the World is the first real player suggestion I have ever received for /gd/! There have been a few threads like this lately, and with the presumed death of /trv/ it feels like clay pretty open to invasion. If I can swing something fun aesthetically this will probably happen!
• People are answering the write ins more often now. It points to better interaction. Happy about that.
• There's one guy who really wants to @ me somewhere, but they haven't actually reached out as of this date.
