Welcome to step 12 of the Will of the Collective! In this poll, you'll vote on the keywords or lore references that will appear on the finished card, based on your nominations.
You nominated a total of fourteen (14) different options (with a few variations more) for our card's lore to use. I've gone through the list and narrowed it down to ten (10) choices for you to choose from. Your job now is to vote on the keywords or references you want to see on the card. This poll will be up for just 24 hours - a single day - ending around 10 AM Pacific on Sunday, February 4th. Each of you will be able to vote for up to three (3) choices, and you can change your vote at any time until the poll closes.
In order for a keyword to be considered, it need to reach at least ten (10) votes; any keyword or lore reference receiving less than ten votes will not be considered. My instructions to the creative team will ask them to guarantee the top two (2) most voted keywords will be in all of the lore options. If there is room and at their discretion, they may include any other keywords in lore in order, from highest number of votes received down.
This poll does not include required species (Human) and gender (male) keywords. Creative goes out of their way to include these traits on all personnel, where possible. Note that the gender may be implied (his, he) instead of directly stated.
Here are some brief notes on the keyword options for your consideration:
1. assassin
This is an existing game term that appears on fifteen (15) personnel. The word would appear as-is, without variation.
2. Benjamin Sisko
This lore reference, if selected, will be in bold. This means the finished card will be a persona of Benjamin Sisko.
3. composer
This word, referring to someone who writes music, would be a new keyword to the game. It does not appear on any personnel card. Creative would be able to consider variations (composed, wrote music) as well.
4. Jadzia Dax
This would be a lore reference only, not a persona.
5. murder
This word appears in the lore of six (6) cards, and not in a context that lends itself to keywording (at least so far). Creative will be able to consider variations (murderer, murdered) of this word as well.
6. pianist
Pianist appears on two (2) personnel and is worded such that it could be used as a hook in the future. The word would be used as-is.
7. Trill
This would be a lore reference only, written in such as a way as to not be a species.
8. Trill with symbiont
This term is used on the mission Symbiont Diagnosis and if selected, would be written in such a way as to make our personnel eligible to use it for that mission.
9. Will of the Collective Easter Egg
If chosen, this option will ask the Creative team to fit in a reference to this process, Will of the Collective. The nominated option was "will and collected memories of Joran," which will be passed along to the Creative team as a suggestion. However, the exact wording of this option will be dependent on the lore suggestions prepared.
10. zhian'tara
This is the ritual from "Facets." It currently only appears in the lore of one card, Jadzia Dax. Memory Alpha indicates it is styled in lowercase (except at the start of a sentence) and appears in italics.
Have fun, and please feel free to post your thoughts and arguments for or against keywords. Tomorrow, we'll decide on attributes and on Sunday you'll get to pick the image!
