Topic on Trope Workshop talk:Power Buff

This trope should be ready to be launched as it should have a good description of the trope and enough examples from different media. Do you all vote that this is ready? @Agiletek @GentlemensDame883 @HeneryVII @HornyLikeIAmA14YearOldGirl @Robkelk‎ @Jlaw‎ @Lequinni‎ @RivetVermin @Umbire the Phantom @Utini501 @Labster @Looney Toons @GethN7 @Robkelk @QuestionableSanity @Derivative @SelfCloak@Looney Toons

Seems okay to me, vote to launch

Revise and launch

We might need a new name for the trope: Wikipedia says "A power booster is a combination of motor-mechanical power amplifier- generator", and it's usual on All The Tropes to give Real Life terms their Real Life meanings.

Agreed. I'd rather an Esoteric Trope Name than mis-use real world terminology. (Unless we can make an obvious joke out of it, of course, but there's no joke here. It's painfully unfunny and straightforward.)

<chuckle> Maybe I should propose a new rule for the Workshop: Kuma's not allowed to name his/her candidates. They are to submit every new candidate under the name "To Be Determined" and the other users name it after we're sure what Kuma wrote is what Kuma meant (or vice versa). <grin>

If we don't rename the trope, at least I've found an appropriate page illustration.

I chose the trope name because it had a straightforward meaning. I suggest renaming Power Amp, Power Buff, Power Boosting, and Power Boost. What do you think? Edit: adding another suggestion for a rename.

Seems launchable, no idea what to rename it to, though.

Do you favor any suggestions I posted?

Notifying people on if they think it's launchable along with asking about who people feel about the renaming with the current suggestions or adding their own. @Agiletek @GentlemensDame883 @HeneryVII @HornyLikeIAmA14YearOldGirl @Robkelk‎ @Jlaw‎ @Lequinni‎ @RivetVermin @Umbire the Phantom @Utini501 @Labster @Looney Toons @GethN7 @Robkelk @QuestionableSanity @Derivative @SelfCloak

Notifying people again about it being launched along with the suggestions for renaming the trope. @Agiletek @GentlemensDame883 @HeneryVII @HornyLikeIAmA14YearOldGirl @Robkelk‎ @Jlaw‎ @Lequinni‎ @RivetVermin @Umbire the Phantom @Utini501 @Labster @Looney Toons @GethN7 @Robkelk @QuestionableSanity @Derivative @SelfCloak

It's been 9 days and I don't know what to do with making sure the page gets renamed and launched!

It can't be launched without a name. What name have people agreed to use?

None, except "not Power Booster". How about lifting a term from gaming and just go with "Buff" or some variation?

I don't play video games and even I know what "buff" means. Vote for Buff as the new name.

"Power Buff" seems good to me.

"Power Buff" sounds workable to me.

"Power Buff" strikes me as a good alternative. I'm okay with that.

Sure, why not? Switching my vote to "Power Buff".

Alright, just feels like my suggestions are being ignored from when I posted a month ago which did include Power Buff so, I vote for it as well.

A month ago, you proposed four different names, without saying which one you liked the best. While we can have a ranked-ballot vote, it's unusual, so somebody has to say that that's what we're doing.

Okay, I thought saying 'What do you think?' would have been enough and how others been saying I write too much in my posts. I'll make sure to write on the lines like 'What names do you want to vote for?' along with saying what name I like the most in the future. Also, the name I like the best was Power Amp.

I wasn't ignoring. I genuinely didn't have any strong feelings about any of them.

That's fine. A response is all I need or even other suggestions are good, too. Also, if you didn't have any strong feelings for any of them then why did you state that Power Buff was workable to you when I suggested it a month ago?

I don't see a contradiction. Just because I don't have strong feelings for any doesn't mean I can't think something is workable.

Alright, I just thought it would better to say something sooner rather than later. Communicating with others can help bring a better understanding and I thank you for your responses. It just feels weird how unresponsive others can be from time to time while I try to engage when possible.
