Rogal Dorn Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I'll let this thing go for a bit more before I rename any pages and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omniscient1 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I think the PB-Polar or PB-NpO war is pretty much commonly recognized as those two things. It is really annoying having to reach for the - though when typing that out. Not to mention the fact that the name really doesn't cover the events of the war. The first one though I've heard called all sorts of things. I personally usually say "The TOP pre-empt" and people understand what I mean.

Dragonshy Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Voted. Fancy names are fancy and all, but it just seems better to keep the wars officially named after the alliances/blocs involved IMO. Having informative names on the wiki is for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walshington Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Well, I like the unique (if not always clever) names. They help to differentiate, and give the larger wars more context that just the first two blocs that got into it. Seems like it should be organic, though -- the name should appear, not simply be assigned for cleverness. I voted PB-NpO and Grudge War. That said, I think a bunch of redirects may be in order for the more popular choices. After all, one mans "Civil War" is another man's "War of Northern Aggression". This way, everyone wins - except Winner12345, of course. Edited November 18, 2012 by Walshington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnsworth Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 BiPolar should be the war in which NpO switched sides -- that only makes sense. The homonym of ByePolar would be ok for the other, but the one in which they switched sides should most definitely and logically be BiPolar. Too obvious, really.
