Rogal Dorn Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) I know there's the "name that war" thread done every war and even though it's picked for some reason the past few wars were left at X - Y war. last war I kept a tally during the "name that war" thread and renamed the wiki page the "Dave War" because it won by a vast majority. This is just going back to name the wiki pages for the past couple global wars. I didn't frequent the OWF during the TOP\IRON-NpO War or the PB-NpO War so this was my idea to poll the community for an answer. (unless someone wants to go back through and count 11-14 pages of people saying "no this war, no that war" on the war naming threads If both win "ByePolar War" then TOP\IRON-NpO War would be the "second" obviously. links to the "Name that war" threads [url=http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=106891]TOP\IRON-NpO War[/url] [url=http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=97260]PB-NpO War[/url] links to the war's wiki pages.

Enamel32 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 The choices for PB-NpO are funnier than TOP-NpO. So many wars with NpO <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marneus Calgar Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I like the ByePolar and the D'oh!jobo ones. Quite clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mompson Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) ByePolar was thrown around during both. Hi guys! Edit: PB-NpO and Grudge War is what I've called them. Edited November 5, 2012 by Mompson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael von Prussia Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 X-Y War in both cases. People need to stop applying dumb names to wars that make it impossible to tell from a reference what the $%&@ they're talking about.

Gopherbashi Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I go by Revenge War and Dajobo's War, personally - though I admit that I'm thinking of labelling the various Polar beatdowns either by date or by sequential number (think GW# style) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriekfreak Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 PB-NpO was definitely NOT the Byepolar war. If any of those get to be called Byepolar it should be the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Humphrey Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 [quote name='Emperor Marx' timestamp='1352148765' post='3049015'] We really don't need clever names for every war. [/quote] I agree. The test for me is not whether a name is clever, but which name is most likely to be understood by others in conversation without additional explanation. None of the names in the poll are sufficiently standardised for me to use in the same way as the Dave War or the original Bipolar War. For this reason, I use PB-NpO War (and, similarly, DH-NPO War) and TOP/IRON-NpO War (and Fark/FAN-NPO War). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
