Who do you want to see commentating matches? (poll open)

Remember back in the day when I used to make a poll for every season about who people wanted to see commentate the champion match? Well that stopped happening every season for some good reasons, but I'd like to make another poll now to re-check the community's current opinion on this.

I'm going to make a poll with every person who has ever commentated anything, or expressed any interest in commentating anything at any point in time. There will be lots of names on it and I'll probably have people pick their two favorites or something. If you would like to be added to the list, let me know (this means either PM me or reply to this thread). If you are on the list and would like to be removed, let me know. Yes, there are some people on here who aren't active on the forums anymore; I guess you are allowed to consider that when making your choices.

I'm going to keep the results of the poll private, at least while the poll is going on and maybe afterwards (the mods should be able to see them anyways). I don't want someone who ends up getting a bunch of votes to feel a sense of public obligation or anything. I dunno. I haven't given it all that much thought, but I remember the first time I made a poll like this I had made things "too public" and had to re-do them so we're starting this time from the other end of the spectrum.

It's not certain who will be playing in this season's champion match yet, since the season isn't over. I think for the purposes of this poll we should just assume that everybody is available to commentate and not worry about people being unavailable because they're busy with something, like playing Dominion in a high-profile match worth casting. The point of this is to have a complete list of who people want to see casting stuff that is current, and wouldn't just apply to the upcoming champion match.

EDIT: If you want to be added to the list, I think I can still do that while the poll is going.

There are a lot of people in here, I made it so you can pick up to 5 people. This was somewhat arbitrary.

I made it so the poll will be open for a week. That means it should close on Friday, Feb. 2 at about 1700 UTC, I think? -- EDIT 2: oh hey look at that, the poll tells you. Technology is great!

I doubt a lot of people would vote for me, but I'm definitely interested and most likely available for providing commentary, so you could add me to the list.

Sometimes interested and available puts you above most other options with no additional help :P

I've added you to the list

Adam, I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to accomplish here. Some honesty in why you're actually making this poll would be appreciated if you really feel the need to drag other people into it. Anyway, please do remove me from your list.

I don't know exactly what you're implying here, and I don't understand why this was moved here. Can someone please move this back?

Anyways, you're off the list.

Possibly because people might have feedback about the commentary? Perhaps people don't appreciate Adam's voice, or perhaps they particularly enjoy Awaclus' brand of hyperbole and want his commentary, or whatever else.

Looking at the list, I don't even recognize half of those names. I guess I can throw my name into the poll for commentary; sounds like it would be fun to do.

I'm interested in commentating if I'm available, although I'll probably get no votes whatsoever.

I'll be a commentator. I don't know what I'm talking about and I will very likely be unavailable.

I'm surprised I'm on this list. I guess I did Dominion streams...over 2 years ago? Wow, it's been a long time.

Anyways, you can leave me on the list, but I've shifted back to the college student schedule, meaning I usually sleep through the championship match. I feel this is one of the big reasons people don't set up streaming or volunteer for commentary. It either doesn't work with the schedule, or it seems like too much effort to keep it up, or they're uncomfortable with getting their voice recorded, or a whole host of other reasons.

Personally, I play Dominion in 20-30 minute bursts over the whole day, which really doesn't work for streaming.

So, I've made over a hundred YouTube Dominion videos, and I stream every League match I play, and I don't get on this list?

Wero: I've added you to the list.

In the course of doing so, I think results are now visible to people after they've voted, and it's not letting me put them back. I hope this doesn't cause any problems.

People should be able to change their votes, I think?

The forum misspelling "discreet" as "discrete" just adds insult to injury here.

Non-Roadrunner people voted for Roadrunner? Apparently I have a small fan base now. That's fantastic! I mean, Adam or Ela or WanderingWinder totally deserve the win more than me, but it's nice to know there are people who aren't driven crazy by the sound of ny voice.

You were not on
this list, that's why.

There were two or three other polls that I checked, I just copied the names from them and kept this open for a day to try and make sure that everyone who had any interest was on the poll. Sorry this didn't catch you until the poll got started, hopefully it doesn't mess with the results all that much.
