XKI Motto Contest: Round 1 Vote

[Paffnia]

With a wide range of suggestions from a bunch of Islanders, the time is now here to start picking the next motto of our fair region for the World Factbook entry. Above are the eligible entries I received, ordered randomly by RANDOM.org. Please give due courtesy and read over all entries before voting.

I am trying out a new voting strategy, especially given how many entries we got. So for this Round 1 poll, vote for all mottoes you'd be okay with or approve of. You can vote for all the entries if you like them all, or just one, or any number in between. I leave it to each of your judgments to decide what your threshold is.

I am not guaranteeing at this time how many entries will move on to Round 2. Hopefully, a few clear contenders emerge separated from the pack, and there's a natural cut-off, but we'll see.

This poll will close at 11:59 P.M. PST on November 26^th. The winning motto's creator will win 100,000 from The Regional Reserve and Taco Island Charities. While this vote will offer a strong show of support, Woonsocket has the final say on what goes on the WFE.

Please post discussion or your thoughts in this thread, not here.

I was just thinking that. Paffnia, as you set up the original, will you please set it up?

There are four mottoes that got 10 or more votes, as follows:

Ever Vigilant, Ever Stronger

A Shelter from the Storm

Ten Thousand Islands, One Heart and Soul

Ever Vigilant, Ever Stronger - the Bastion, Hearth, and Sanctuary of 10000 Islands

Please make a final vote on the four above. And please encourage nations to say why they made the choice they did, this will figure into the contest.
