Even though the original intent was to ask people if they'd rather go to Behemoth, you didn't actually care that much about the result, and you knew it was moot to even have a vote and expect some kind of action from it.
So the point was for you to see if at least a good percentage of Gilgamesh players might be interested in staying on Gilgamesh, so you knew whether to move your guild or not.

27:26 does not a unanimous vote make. A lot of them probably aren't even going to Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh didn't come to be through a unanimous vote either--I fail to see what some people are trying to prove either way. It seems like folks from Gilgamesh may be trying to convince others not to leave Gilgamesh by... telling them not to. Unless a lot of people want to. Then totally do leave.
I guess MY point in all this has always been pointing out what an odd thread this is in the first place, as all I can see it doing is inspiring more division, among Gilgamesh people and among the community at large. It's been filled with nothing but negative sentiment, all over a poll that ultimately doesn't mean or prove anything.
It's like this thread was just made to spark a fracas. Only one thing's missing...

Everyone will get to talk unbothered soon, promise.
Let's let this one die already. Keep an eye on your pm boxes.
I just think it's a weird way to behave, is all.

Plants grown in hostile conditions have a much lower rate of survival, however if there are plants that do have the strength to survive in those conditions, they may manage to breed and pass their heartier genes to their offspring.
Over a number of generations, the less robust plants die off genetically, and the genes of the heartier plants become more prevalent in the population still growing in those hostile conditions. These are not necessarily the "best crops," but they are the most well-adapted to that particular environment.

I don't know how this relates to roleplayers, but it's funny to think about.
