When we first started discussing this, almost everyone was keen on Isis being the name of the new GCR.

Kind of glad we didn't go down that route. There was a female name I remember a lot of folks liking: Izanami. Kind of a Shinto goddess of creation and death. Ishtar was also mentioned, along with Persephone.

Can't the men of NationStates just hold a vote on who is best girl and then name the new GCR after our collective waifu?

What new GCR? I mean, you can fantasize about it all you want, but there has to be serious cause for it to get actually implemented.

Also, I vote [violet] :p

Also, I vote [violet] :p

Why am I the one who is being taken seriously? :lol:

Clearly what we should do is take a page from the Americans. We should replace the name of one of the already existing Sinkers and replace it with the name of a prominent female. And naturally, we should rename the most important of the sinkers and allow the Andrew Jackson of GCRs to maintain its name.

Of course my vote is for best-girl Kurisu.

Wait...If Glen and Kringalia were banjected, and there was no message on either of their National Happenings that said they were unbanned, then how are they both in TSP right now?
