What are we supposed to be voting for? How good is an opening? How much do we like it? How cool the name is?
And are we looking at them from the white side or the black side?

Question: "What are we supposed to be voting for? How good is an opening? How much do we like it? How cool the name is?"
My Answer: Whatever, but not the 'how good is it' part. Is it funny? Do you like it? Is the name cool? is it satisfying?

Question: "And are we looking at them from the white side or the black side?"
My Answer: Depends. If it's a black opening (Ex. caro-kann or Sicilian), think from Black's point of view. White opening (Ex. QGA, English), think from white's point of view
