"Polymer T-spins" is quite an arbitrary designation. I say we rename it to something more self-descriptive... like "Dunks".

Honestly... looks a bit more like a lay-up. I mean, it hits the backboard.

How about we compromise and go with touchdown?

QuoteLike many setups here, it is useful if your opponent doesn't move and you get 4 Ts in a row.

I believe the term polymer was coined for the setup's resemblance to certain molecular structures. I want to say I read that on tetrisbabel before the wiki was closed. Can anyone recall more details?

something about trehalose and iso-trehalose resembling the chemical structures, so polymer was named as that class of t spins correspondingly?

Agreed name should be changed, but 'dunks' is naff.

I don't think it is ours to change anymore. ive seen the term on multiple japanese websites as well. I mean sure, we can start calling it "the funky" or whatever the hell we please, but that doesnt really change its name!

myndzi

There's no official consensus that names T-spin setups. We call it dunks, Japanese dudes go wtf is that, we explain, they say oh okay


You guys do realize this poll is satirical, right?

I think we need a poll for that.

I think you're saying that to save face because you've lost the poll

When I'm playing Tetris in front of my friends I need to sound as impressive and uppity as possible. Polymer adequately serves that purpose.
