It's finally time to vote on our Table Names!!
To reduce clutter, I've removed the names of currently active members for each Table as well as the names of submitters (That info can be found in the Submissions List back on page 40). But I have included the 2 main components of the "secret" item I will be assigning to each Table soon, in case they're needed for reference in your decision-making process.
Since less than half of our membership is currently active in TSS, please vote for 2 options in the categories that have more than 5 submissions. Hopefully this will help to increase vote totals for those categories & avoid a lot of 1-vote-each results. (A second, runoff ballot may still be required for any category(ies) with the final count resulting in a tie.)
HAPPY VOTING!!! Our new ROSTER will be posted soon! 
VOTING DEADLINE IS WED JULY 11
(Allowance of 2 weeks)
]TIE-BREAKER RUN-OFF VOTING DEADLINE IS SUN JULY 15
(See my game wall for Kiddie Table Banner & Order plus 3rd RT Banner tie-breaker ballots.)

1st ROUND TABLE ORDER
Only RT1 Thuakians, pick one:
[Through a strange stroke of luck, or perhaps by some deeper secret occurrence, the members of The Order discovered a mystical substance that granted its users enhanced strength, keener senses, and most polarizing for the Knights themselves, near-immortality]: - The Order of Falu Water
(Falun is a small city in central Sweden renowned for its copper mining industry. Since the mid-16th century (at least), all of the wooden homes, barns, outhouses and other buildings in and around Falun have been traditionally painted a deep rust-red color known as falu that is manufactured from the iron-rich waste materials left over from the mines.)
-OR-
- The Order of Verditer Water
(Verditer is both an old fashioned name for verdigris, the green rust-like discoloration of copper and brass, and the name of blue-green pigment dating from the 1500s. Its name, which is derived from the French verte-de-terre, or "green of the earth," is today used in the name of a bright turquoise songbird, the verditer flycatcher, which is native to the Himalayas.)

Order of Tri-corn Hats & 3-pc Suits (to go with Time Travelers)
Order of Roshambo (Name of the rock-paper-scissors game)

Order of the Goat and Compass
