Okay, I see it going back and forth.
I, personally, find Psimax the correct version, as it is the abbreviation for psionic Minmax.
Plotwise, Psymax as abbreviation for psychopathic [Edit](or psychic)[/Edit] Minmax can be well explained too.
Plus, I don't really like the looks of an "y" in a name. But that's a very personal reason.
So, what should it be?
And for what reason?
The poll runs for 120 days, and you may change your vote.
(I will not add proposals like Psipsymax, or Psypsimax (psychopathic, psionic Minmax;...)

Re: Poll: Psimax or Psymax?
Psychopath is a bit over-used. And he claims to have remorse from his very first strip (with no reason to lie), so it doesn't fit, despite his ultimate nihilism.
That said, I thought Psymax was for Psychic Minmax, not Psychopath Minmax. And I actually like the y better. But Psimax for Psion-Minmax fits better into what he is in D&D terms.
Will you not add any proposal, or just ones along those lines? I'd like Ψmax. The con is it's hard to write and honestly hard to read. The pro is that it's kind of cool.

Re: Poll: Psimax or Psymax?
I tend to write pay because I work at a mental facility, so it's a habit as I type the word psychiatric. Psychiatry. Etc... But I see psimax as more accurate. As for a preference in the forums...Meh. whatever. I know who they mean.

Re: Poll: Psimax or Psymax?
Psi is a term from parapsychology derived from the Greek, ¤ê psi, 23rd letter of the Greek alphabet; from the Greek ¤ê¤à ¤ç╬« psyche, "mind, soul".[1][2]
So.... with the exception that i find PsiMax to be soulless, I'd say PSI!

I still like the old "MindMax" name that got dropped early on.

Mindmax would be another proposal I'd have to add (I like it too...).
Psi/yMax is the generally accepted name, it's about the spelling now.
And if I add new alternatives to the poll, the poll gets resetted, and those who already voted would not know that their vote got lost if they don't revisit this thread for whatever reason....
