video + poll - Horseshoe 18, evening
Hey, everyone! For those of you who don't know, my name's Lea. Back at the beginning of the month, I posted a message here wondering about how the names of the train's months get decided, and how they seem to be going in alphabetical order. After talking a bit with Kitty, we came up with an idea of having a little fun with the idea by starting up a sort of betting pool around it.
The rules are simple. Post a message here with what you think the name of the next month is going to be. It can be video, voice, or text, whichever works best for you. The only criteria are that the name you pick has to be a noun starting with the letter 'i'. Don't worry if your word is a duplicate of someone else's though; that's actually important.
After about a week, I'll take the top three most common answers and put them up on a sheet of paper on the dining car wall. Then you just sign your name under the one you think is most likely to be the name of the next month. If the new month is named one of those three words, anyone with their name under the correct word will get a voucher that they can hand over to someone whose name is under one of the words that didn't win in exchange for either a small favor- think something like doing one of their chores for them or fixing them a meal- or a cheap item from the shop - something 10 points or less.
If none of the words in the betting pool win, no one wins or loses anything. Though we can always try it again for the month after if people like the idea. Anyway, I hope everyone has fun with it! I'll put up written versions of this message too, for those who might've missed it or are just late getting their ideas in, so there's no big rush.
Good luck everybody!

Evening Lea, I'm Silvia. What a cute idea!
[Or was he the type of guy that disliked the term? Eh- it was too late to amend it]
So it's horseshoe this month... maybe it'll be Icicle? [Ok, so she didn't have a method here. The horseshoe had reminded her of a certain sugary cereal but it didn't have any marshmallow shapes that started with "i"]
Re: Video
Nice to meet you, Silvia. And yeah, I thought so too.
Anyway, icicle goes on the list.
