VOTE, FOR FREEDOM!
Btw apparently it's better to get an EVE guy to create the channel so if somebody could arrange that once the poll ends (maybe give it a full day), that'd be great.
If you guys have other options... well, the bureaucracy isn't completely democratic.

Vote! Do it so you know you had a say in the decision of a name that could define future generations of factional warfare combatants!

I'd like the channel name to be unique to EVE though. We aren't the same force as the capsuleers. I'm pretty sure the Minny, Amarr and Caldari channels aren't the default EVE FW channels.
And to those who're saying there are too many options: this is democratic. :D
edit: just checked out the results... are we really that boring as to want "Gallente Faction Warfare" as the name? Damn... what happened to Gallenteans being the 'kings of entertainment'?

Sweet. I reckon give it a day or two for everyone to get their opinions in, then feel free to make it. If it ends up being Gallente Faction Warfare... I'll use the next respec to fully skill into Minmatar equipment.

Well I came up with it when I was reading about the three branches of the Gallente government, called 'arms'. And I did think about the sexual connotations too, but the more the better, for the Gallente.
Vote guys vote!

Personally I thought it'd be better in the long-term to have a more neutral name than Black Eagles just for those who get into the lore and realise they don't want to be associated with the Black Eagles. :P
And @Arkena,
Godin offered but you can discuss further with him if you want to do it. I guess the more active of you two may want to, or the more dedicated to Gallente FW!
Keep voting chaps!

otherwise I'll be finding a different channel.
I mean, seriously.
Hahahah tell me about it. People and their imaginations these days.
@J'Hiera
There certainly is no explicit reference to being of French origin, but their ideologies greatly reflect that of historical and even contemporary France.
Human liberty and the human spirit evolved from the French Revolution and Enlightened thought, and strongly influenced the whole country in terms of upending the autocracy and implementing systems of merit and equal rights.
Fraternity and brotherhood, too, stemmed from the Revolution. Robespierre and Danton, for example, know just how powerful the appeal to group loyalty can get you.
So certainly, the history of the Federation has some strikingly similar parallels with the French, but that's where it ends. But it doesn't stop us from calling Gallenteans frogs, or using French words when creating Gallentean groups. :D

Yeah the Federal Marines is okay... But we have better options. Besides, I don't think the FW channels for the other races used them. Gallenteans should be unique too!
I mean, mercenaries may fight for the Marines but we aren't part of them. Pretty sure the marines will mostly be made up of mortal soldiers who despise us.

I'd prefer that over Gallente Faction Warfare... So bland...
But unfortunately it's far in the lead.... UNLESS OTHERS VOTE!! C'mon, only 40 active players on the forum?

What madness is this? 200+ views and yet only 40 votes. Get your voices heard, people! And for the love of all that is fun and witty, DON'T PICK "Gallente Faction Warfare"! Trust me, if any of you get into the lore of New Eden you'll look back with regret and realise how boring it is. I've barely started reading all this background stuff and I'm starting to get the depth of the universe we're talking about. And people are picking Gallente FW. I shouldn't have made it an option...

NEW RULE: ONLY COUNTING HALF THE "GALLENTE FACTION WARFARE" VOTES!
This means something else still has a chance to win IF YOU VOTE FOR IT! Please do it! You devs hiding lurking in the shadows, will you stand for the injustice of the DUST 514 Gallente FW channel being blandly named "Gallente Faction Warfare"? IF NOT, vote for justice!
Oh, and if you don't like the new rule, then too bad!
Gallentean government paradox wrote:The core belief of the Federation is that of individuality and individual freedom. But in practice this has created a paradox as the individual freedom to do what you want constantly clashes with the individual freedom from being oppressed by other individuals.
I'm taking matters into my own hands, in the name of freedom.

I hereby dismiss you from my attention.
It's still going to win. I was just trying to spice things up a little, get some more votes before the poll closes.

We have too many options already lol... and yet everyone drifts towards Gallente Faction Warfare. I swear, it's probably all Caldari and Amarrian voters.
How about we sabotage their sabotage, and if their channel name wins we'll call it "Gallentean Saboteurs" anyway.

POLL CLOSED. I don't believe 65 votes for 4k+ players is 'representative' at all, so I am rendering the votes null and void. Feel free to start "Gallente Faction Warfare" if you want because it garnered the most votes HOWEVER it is such a boring name it'll probably change down the track. Hell, Gallente Black Eagles is better than that. Turalyon is even better. Stick to Turalyon, I'd say, or make a new poll.
