Welcome to the GTP Alternative Cool Wall, where everything from bass guitars to chainsaws to shotguns to goggles to intergalactic police officers get polled to find out whether or not they are cool.
Polling works in pretty much the same manner as the GTP Cool Wall, but whereas that only applied to cars, here we poll things which aren’t cars, in case that wasn’t already clear. There are five poll options voters may choose from, and they may only choose one. These are:
· Sub Zero
· Cool
· Meh
· Uncool
· Seriously Uncool
These are then added up, with a score of 2 applied to sub zero votes, 1 to cool, 0 to meh, -1 to uncool, and -2 to seriously uncool, and divided by the number of votes to extract the mean. From this the coolness of the item nominated is derived.
The GTP Alternative Cool Wall Results.

Rules:
* Only one nomination per person until your nomination has been polled. Once the nomination is given a polling thread, then you are free to make another suggestion.
*Please include all information which you want to be displayed in the poll in your nomination as well as the picture you'd liked used in the poll. Those who fail to do this will have their nominations skipped.
* Do not nominate any of the exact same items that have already been polled.
* Nominations similar to ones already polled must have a significant difference that makes them a separate entity.
* Cars and vans are not allowed. They belong in the GTP Cool Wall in the Cars In General Section
*Motorcycles and scooters may be nominated.
*Musical artists or works may not be nominated. They receive representation from the GTP Music Cool Wall. (Although admittedly this has been on extended hiatus)
*Musical instruments ARE valid nominations, however.
* Living people may not be nominated.
* Whether or not a deceased individual can be nominated will be left to the discretion of the curator and / or the GTP staff. Those which are likely to cause offence by being polled (ie. Jesus) will not be allowed.
* Nominations which are not considered to be notable enough to be polled will not be polled. Notability is up to curator and/or staff discretion.
* Some nominations may be excluded or postponed for other reasons at nominator and/or staff discretion.
* Only nominations made in this thread will be added to the list, please do not write on the curator’s GTP profile, PM her or e-mail suggestions.
* Get your nomination right the first time.
* Nominations will be polled in chronological order of nomination, so it's first come first served.
* Nominations, rules suggestions, and other directly connected discussion only here. Save debates for the polls. Do not discuss the nominations in this thread.
* If your nomination is skipped, I will PM you telling you why I skipped it and offer you a chance to redo it. However, please make a new post with the correct information as I am not going back to the previous incorrect post. Your nomination will also go to the bottom of the queue.
===
How it Works:
* You nominate an item and it goes into the queue, assuming you followed the rules.
* A poll will be created every day or every other day (depending on traffic) unless the curator is unavailable to do so; in which case advanced warning should be given.
* The poll will be left open for seven days allowing member to vote on the five levels of coolness.
* Polled items will be placed in one of nine sections.
* Placement on the wall will be determined by a voting formula.

Thanks toTheBook,Tornado,Joey D,SweetShopUnion(boiltheocean),BKGlover, White & Nerdy, and Jahgee1124for curating the original GTP Cool Wall which inspired this one. Also, a big thanks toJoey D again for establishing the clear rules and standards currently in place over there, as they again inspired those used here.
I'd be delighted if this thread got pinned, but I guess it'll have to prove its worth first.
