Which name/design should we use for the [Wands] suit?
I've used Wands here just so we know what the original was.

Yet again, Other. Go to the core of the theme: the relatively long thin straight piece of wood with no significant branching or foliage.
Most trees (whole living trees) don't fit that theme. Neither do most non-bare branches.
But the total size of the piece of wood doesn't matter. It can be a short polished painted bejeweled wand. It can be a quarterstaff. It can be a pole suitable for use in building a barn.
Use whichever fits the card concept.

Just one small point of contention...
- Staffs is the plural for staff as in employee
- Staves is the plural for staff as in walking stick/pole/etc.

I thought that might be the case, but I was too lazy to check. I'll just add the score from 'Staffs' onto 'Staves' at the end.

On my vote of 'Other' I am made to agree with warrl, in that people should use the more traditional sense of 'the relatively long and straight piece of wood' but still impartial towards whether this is a wand or a staff.

Use whichever fits the card concept. I think it would be better if all the labels used the same word, instead of having a 4 of wands and a 3 of staves. |

More people to vote on this one please! As the score for 'Staffs' is being added onto 'Staves' there is a draw with 'Wands'. To be honest I find this horrendous and expected better of all of you  |

I voted staves because wands are for Harry Potter.

pepoluan, no one wants to hear about your staff rising to the occasion. Boy are you inappropriate!  |

Looks like this needs a runoff between staves and wands.

Well people seem to have stopped voting again, so I'm just going to call it. Staves win!

Staves do have a majority, there are 6 votes for staves while the next most popular (wands) only has 3 votes.

6 out of 13 is not a majority. And before I believe it was 5 out of 12.
You don't want the multitude of options to effect the result.

King Mir, how about you start another thread with those two poll options, and leave it open for however long you think is appropriate, and if something other than Staves wins, you can petition Ulysses to change it.

What is this tarot project? That would be this. There was a predecessor for the major arcana, but for some reason the search function doesn't turn it up. |

A-ha. Thanks.
