I want to start by saying congratulations to NFP for winning the Prime League EU tournament. Your skill and capabilities are a notch above the rest, I do not look forward to seeing you on the battlefield.
Now on to the real matter at hand.
NFP have posted a poll asking what they should name a planet; the naming of a planet being one of their prizes. I am here today to encourage you all to vote for Pluto as the name of the planet. Why? Why should you vote for Pluto as the name of the planet?
We know from old historical files that there used to be a planet in humanities home system called Pluto. It was stripped of it's status as a planet because humanity thought it was too small to be called a planet, that it didn't deserve to be a planet. This injustice has gone on for far too long. It is time that Pluto not just got it's status back, but found it's way here, to New Eden. I come before you today to ask that you help make this a reality. Give Pluto the respect it deserves. Let it stand as a reminder of the past for all of humanity throughout New Eden. Let it show that the past is not forgotten and that anything lost can be brought back.
Most importantly by naming the planet Pluto we show that size does not matter. We, mercenaries of the ground, occupy a spot in the stars along with capsuleers. Let us show them that size does not matter when it comes to our fighting spirit, our capabilities, and to our desire to work together.
These are the reasons I come before you today to ask that you follow me in voting that the planet be named Pluto.
To vote simply follow this link and vote for Pluto: http://strawpoll.me/462237
Thank you all for your support and for making the right choice. I look forward to seeing Pluto amongst the stars as a planet, the title it deserves.

Pluto is the better name anyway!

The reason why Pluto was debunked as a planet was for much the same reason that the planet Juno lost it's planetary status (yes, there used to be a planet Juno), we continued to find similarly sized objects in the same region, and were able to safely determine these were not planets, but dwarf-planetoids that exist near and around large asteroid fields.
If we were to reinstate Pluto there would be just as much cause to enstate a few dozen other planetoids that are all either as large, or larger than Pluto, many even claiming more satellites than Pluto.
((That said, this idea is awesome. I support it.)) |

I disagree. Socks IV is clearly the superior choice.

I hate to be a negative nancy butnit was not only plutos size that had it demoted from planet status . As we all know pluto is one of many large bodies orbiting our sun. This however dose not make it a planet. One of the rules governing a planet is it must clear its own orbit I.e. not cross the orbit of another larger body . Pluto is also follows an orbit on a different plain from the other karger bodys in our solersystem. |

Pluto could be mined into nothingness in an hour by a single Hulk. It doesn't deserve planet status. |

You are missing the idea. We cannot restore Pluto itself to being a planet, we don't have access to the original solar system in which Humanity was born. NFP has won the right to name a planet here in the New Eden star cluster. A real planet. Giving Pluto the respect it deserves.

But if we name it Socks IV you'll be immortalized in the heavens as a true god for eternity.... well unless like Pluto, astronomers decide Socks IV doesn't meet the requirements to be a planet. |

The planet in question is an Ice world, correct? Because naming a lava planet "Pluto" would just be silly. |

This is some pretty obvious (and no doubt effective) reverse psychology to entice you to vote for Socks IV and hence immortalise a in a unique fashion into Eve history.

I'd suggest, that for historical reasons it would not have hurt to rewrite the definition of a planet.
Planets are bodies that ... blah blah blah... and pluto. |

Not if alcohol and/or drugs are involved and with this community that's a certainty.
And it's easy to fit this into lore. A crew of a ship got drunk & stoned and crash landed on a planet. In their inebriated state they were so distraught that they named the planet Socks IV in memory of all the socks lost in the fiery crash. |

"Pluto" is the only real option from those available there.
The other one one would be "EoN. Prime" but written differently and that would be "Eon Prime". |
