Name Voting Changes (Again)

Posted at Wed Jan 09, 2008 6:26 pm by SombraAla

I've tweaked name voting a tad bit more. Some folk had been unhappy that they got to see the current vote totals while they were voting on names (influenced their decision). So I added a preference to hide those totals. You can turn it on to hide all the time or only if you haven't voted yet.

I also added the abstain option for voting. Since so many features now depend on whether you've voted or not yet, this allows you to abstain from voting for that month/day but is treated as a vote for all the other features.

What is Field Crumpets?

Field Crumpets is a game often compared to hockey and soccer. As with many sports, the teams attempt to put a ball in the opposing team's goal. That's where many of the similarities to other sports end.

In Field Crumpets, each player is armed with a red wiffle bat, which is the only tool they can use to dribble, pass and shoot on the opposing goal. The field is relatively small, which can lead to fast paced, heart pounding games. But the company is almost always friendly and (relatively) non-competetive.

Even a cursory glance at the rules, pictures, videos, game results and the rest of the page will reveal that crumpets has a little something extra that lets it enjoy a lighthearted, friendly atmosphere while maintaining some level of seriousness as a sport. Please, explore the site and make sure that you head to the message board if you have any questions at all.
