I concede it is a trivial issue...and I will make a choice as well...to stand by Simoleans.

No. This is what you call debranding the game. They don't want it to be associated with the sim name because the gameplay is different.

ummmm, I just want to know, in what way is it different?

Who is elected President matters. No one should throw away their vote on that. That really is not that same issue!

I don't think you get it if you win.

You get 5k for being in the top 5.

Edit:
" The people that suggest the top 5 pick will receive 5,000 simoleans in EA-Land. If a person has more than one item in the top 5, then they will receive the simoleans x the number of times they’re in the top 5. " - TSO-E

I am not voting for those stupid names, I am deleting my cards in hope it reduces the unbelievable lag that occured with their issuance. I can't believe how much patience I have tried to have with this game, to have such continued ridiculousness. Really is this a test, I just gotta know...

Well I guess it was obvious nothing that included sim would make the cut, but come on these are dire.

How can they end up with 4 out of 5 of the contenders with the word bucks, Ea can buck off as far as I am concerned.

I seriously considered deleting all my cards but ive decided that my 6 votes will go for EAdollars, because we will all just end up calling them dollars in the end.

And I guess thats what EA really want in any case

I have to say, I haven't laffed so hard and enjoyed myself so much in a very long time.

for a new name for 'Simoleons'.

Haaaaaaaaaa!!! I still have tears rolling down my cheeks!

Mine (EABucks) got on the top 5 and I voted for my self because I am selfish lol.

I do admit, I was not expecting this one to be chosen I wanted "Parilean(s)" or 'Lucian(S) or Luclean(s)" but these suggestions of mine didn't get picked. I also liked a ton of the other suggestions on the boards and I extremely doubted that I would get on the list. Oh well! Im still full of my self so I vote for me lol.

All the marvelous suggestions people came up with and we end up with these

If we had been voting for the booby prize I might have chosen one but in all honesty I can't.
If I can manage to log in and stay in game long enough, I plan to delete them all.
I don't know what they have done to this game but my broadband connection is like dial-up, not to mention the error 101, 102 etc., etc.,

Perhaps if they had given more time to come up with names they would have had some better options. By the time I heard about the idea of submitting names to replace the old one it was already to late. What was the hurry? Aren't there more important issues to deal with right now?

Besides I will still call them what I have always called them....$ so it doesn't really matter if they call them.

Like someone said above I haven't received my voting card yet...AND I'm lagging...and I've gotten 5 error 23s in about 45 mins. So I gave up to come here for a bit.

When I do get a chance to vote..I will vote for the least lamest name on there. I agree those names are not very creative..I'll prob vote for EADollars and call them EADs...

I didn't get a chance to make a suggestion, think the suggestion polls were closed the day before I came on..but ..I'm coming back in a bit to let ya'll know what I WOULD have suggested...just for fun.

I don't like them either, although having created EABucks, when I wrote that I doubted it would even get into the list because it was, compared to the other 769 suggestions, very dull.

Rosebuds would have been really really funny or motherlode(s) lol.

I'm gonna have to agree, these choices are not varied enough. I like simoleons , anyway. I think we should vote first on whether or not to change it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unfortunately, I don't think that is an option. I wish it were. I haven't checked to see if I got my cards yet, but even if I do, I"m not going to vote. They haven't shown an interest in my opinion so far, so why bother? JMO.

Why are we even changing the name??????

I have a feeling, that this is just another "Contest" like those done a few years ago, to keep up happy and content while the team tries to change something in the game.

I also feel that the Lava game card challenge is also one of those "Contests" to keep us busy. Although it is fun...!

Well I haven't been on in about 30 mins or more because I got like 5+ 23 errors 5 minutes after I would enter a lot..so I came here to waste some time until something better happens...

but, before I logged off, I checked my oldest sim and still no voting certificate. I wasn't here for the "move"
..but I am excited about amnesty. Maybe when I go back it will be there...maybe that's why I kept getting kicked?

Thanks for the tip in any case!

Anyway, here's what I came up with


MoolEAh Or if u prefer Mooleah

GuinEAs

EAssets (maybe not a good one because we tend to abbreviate things..)

NickerEAs or Nickerlodeans (my personal fav)

EAlodeans

EAcheques

And I just googled and added some creativity..I'm sure those of you that had more time came up with better ones!

*ttl*

All the creative names people came up with and they pick the most bland, generic suggestions for the top 5. eBucks? metaBucks? Funbucks? Are you kidding me?

They've managed to push their OWN suggestion in (gee, we were never told the devs themselves get to supplant other suggestions with one of their own), in a back alley manner. Whatever, I refuse to vote, this is crap. I bet it ends up being what they want in the end anyway.

Same here! I wanted to delete them all too. but i thought about it. this name for the currency will be seen from everyone not only in game. it will be on the website etc. and if ea-land ever gets that big then other games already are, would you want to have people laugh about a currency named ..... bucks
this currency is going to be like a rl currency with cash in and cash out.
blame me for naming them again, but look at Linden Dollars.
this is serious we need a good currency name and not a fun name.

so i go for EADollars since there are no better choices except "bucks"

i didnt get them


I never thought that my suggestion, EADollars, would actually be in the top 5! hehe
... i really love 'simoleans', but if the game is changing as a whole away from the sims and this new currency would be mentioned everywhere (in the website...) then its better to choose something a bit nice, even if we are gna still keep calling them 'simoleans' in-game.
