Hello folks,

It's time to pick the title for our card, so we can stop referring to it as "Not Gagh." You all came up with twelve (12) different title ideas, and now you get to vote on the ones we like. But first, let's recap the card where it stands today:
Not Gagh wrote: [Evt] Seeds or plays on table. If playing only [Kli], you may play any [Evt], [Int], or [Obj] with "Klingon" or [Kli] in gametext from your Q's Tent as if from your hand.
Not Gagh - Story Concept wrote:Klingons decloak, revealing they have access to more ships/resources than opponent realizes.
Not Gagh - Story Beat wrote:ST:DS9 - Call to Arms - Martok to the rescue / who says there’s never a Klingon around when you need one.
For this version of Will of the Collective, we are using approval voting. In this voting style, you can vote for each choice in the poll that you like/approve of moving forward. If you just like one option, you can just vote for that; if you like all twelve, you can vote for all of them! The choice that has the most votes of approval will be the winner. In the event of a tie, we'll move to a traditional, majority-take-all run-off vote to break the tie.

Voting is open from now and for two days, ending around 2:45 PM Pacific on Friday, December 18th. You can vote for any or all of the options, and you can change your vote at any time until the poll closes on Friday. And once you've voted, please use this thread to post about why you voted the way you did. I want you to be able to debate the pros and cons of the choices, and be persuaded by each other. It's your card, and this is your decision to make!

Have fun, everyone!

I voted for:
  • Dial K for Klingon – Because it's a nice throwback to Dial Martok For Murder and has an inherently cool factor.

    I Will Handle the Jem'Hadar – Because it's from the story we're using, though it may be a little too specific.

    Surprising Advantage – A little more generic sounding, which could be a plus as the card has the potential to fit in any Klingon deck. Also gives the impression of a surprising reveal.*

    Timely Arrival – Okay, this was my suggestion I admit. But I also think it fits the gametext, story context and story beat we're using.
If I had to choose one, Dial K for Klingon takes it for me. It's just a cool card name. 8)

*Also a question. Is the possibility of making this card a Hidden Agenda on the cards or has that already past? I think it has great potential to surprise a few players if it could be seeded or played facedown first, before revealing it. And it would also fit the story concept we're using.

All the Best,

Mattgomery Scott.

The vote is TIED with about eight (8) hours left to go. Get your votes in! Make your arguments. Let's see what we'll call "Not Gagh" at the end of the day.

"Never a Klingon Around..." is a fine card title, for something that helps non-Klingons. But since this card only helps Klingons do Klingon stuff, I voted for "Sowee TAH!".

Also, this allows for a "Duuuude" companion card. (Apparently "DuD" is a klingon word meaning "mix").

Patrick's argument appears to have swayed the crowd! Big swing toward Sowee TAH! in the past few hours!

I also went for Sowee TAH! because good titles are a rare resource for the game, and this was the one on the list that best (imo):


- Fit the flavor (surprise Klingons!)
- Didn't limit the flavor to a particular Klingon subset
- Wasn't a generic enough title that it would fit other Affiliations just as well
- Didn't reference things not on the card that exist mechanically. (I will Handle the Jem Hadar, anything referring to cloaking)
