Hey all!

Ok, these naming discussions and polling exercises have been super fun! We will call wave 1 DONE, and yes there will now be a small wave 2 next... so let's go over where things are at.

Wave 1 results (based on the polling on BGG): For most of the polled categories there were very clear winners, as follows:

Water-Strength-Organic: This changed from FATHOM to TYPHOON.
Fire-Speed-Organic: This changed from nitros to meteor.
Earth-Strength-Mechanical: This changed from CONDUIT to BASTION.
Water-Strength-Mechanical: This changed from HYDRIC to VORTEX.
Earth-Speed-Mechanical: This changed from gadget to conduit (essentially taking the name from its Strength-based counterpart!)
Other than the wave 2 items below, all others that were polled essentially remained unchanged.

NEW! Wave 2: Two categories were too close to make a clear determination, as follows:

Air-Speed-Mechanical: Technically dynamo won the wave 1 poll, but not by much. So I want to open up the table for new options. Guster performed poorly, so we'll take that one off the table, leaving these options for a wave 2 poll: zeppelin (it's current name), dynamo, zephyr (new), and gondola (new). What other names can you come up with for this one that should be added to the poll??
Fire-Speed Mechanical: Technically nitros won the wave 1 poll, but again not by much. So let's open this one up for new options as well. Boiler and broiler performed poorly, so we'll take those off the table, leaving these options for a wave 2 poll: booster (its current name), torpedo, nitros, eruptor. What other names can you come up with for this one that should be added to the poll??

Let's gather as many viable names for these remaining ones in Wave 2 as we can, and then we'll kick off a new poll in a couple days.

Here's the naming table so far - I am LOVING the improvements already!!:

Thanks!!
