Name That War: NpO-TSO

[Bob Ilyani]

Anybody voting GWIV should be shot.

There's always a couple, every war. Never mind that there have been like 8 major wars since GWIII.

None of which were named GWIV

[Rogal Dorn]

Sooo.... the favorites seem to be Disorder War, Order upon Order and Order on Order... what's it going to be? just throw up a poll with a fourth option of "other"?

[Commander shepard]

The Optional Non Existence

Maybe give three poll category options since there are so many variations (these were the three I thought were leading):

 

1. Something involving the word "Disorder"

2, Something involving }Order on/upon/vs. Order"

3. Something involving "Following Orders"

 

Once the category is selected, people can then vote on specifics.  For example, if 1 polled highest, the next poll would be:

1. Order Upon Order

2. Order On Order

3. Order on Order on Order

[Sephiroth]

War of Disorder has some potential. Seeing the New Order alliances turning against each other to such a degree does it give that kind of feel.

The ones i mentioned are the ones most agreed upon in this thread. "following orders" and "order on order on order" weren't any of them :P The three i listed were the most popular. instead of giving extra options lets keep it relatively narrow so as to not spread out the votes.

[Farnsworth]

I think Walsh's idea makes more since. I wouldn't "spread out" the votes -- there's still only 3 options.

2, Something involving }Order on/upon/vs. Order"

2. Order On Order

I'd like GW# for continuity's sake, but it seems hard to justify since we didn't stick with the GW# formula for previous large scale wars.

 

I like Disorder, Following Orders, and OoO/OuO. I will say, though, that OoO sounds better to say while OuO looks better. Both the OoO and OuO options sound less than ideal when spoken in a sentence.

 

Note how LAME all of these sound: 

 

"Remember during the Order on Order War how we...?"

"You know who really sucked it up during Order upon Order?" 

"We kicked some major tail during Order on Order."

"My favorite thing about the Order upon Order War was that..."

I just worry that if Order upon Order and Order on Order are on the ballot, they are so similar that they will split the vote giving it to Disorder War.

I like the latter better myself, but If we get the category first, then we can drill down to the exact title.

Wow, you're right.  I think OvO (Order vs. Order) woks better than all of those. Try it in the sentences.

[WarriorSoul]

Disorder has the best feel to me, ad it can be reduced from "The Disorder War" to just "Disorder," which is how wars have been referred to for a long time (Karma, Bipolar, Grudge, Dave, Equilibrium, etc.).

[Dcrews]

(OoO)

Now it looks like a face

I like Disorder war the most too.

[Dexomega]

Either "War of Disorder" (WoD, which is DoW backwards by some weird twist of fate) or [The] Disorder War.

[LeonidasRexII]

How about Order vs. Order, as in Spy vs. Spy.

 

[Phil Coulson]

The Old Grudges War

or

The Festivus War

because people are settling year old grievances.

[RandomInterrupt]

I like War of the Orders. To me, this is a conflict between Polar, Pacifica, and the Sith. Everyone else is incidental. That is the core of this war, so it makes a good name.

 

What many of you don't get about war names is, comedy usually doesn't work. Puns, too long of names, weird capitalization, it doesn't work. Short, fairly neutral, but representative of the conflict (or the core of why it started). The whole "disorder" thing doesn't work as well, as there is no real disorder about it. It was quite orderly actually, both in the dictionary term sense, and in terms of how our alliances operate. So, if the war isn't disorderly, then the name is simply a bad pun (or whatever) and therefore is meaningless.

Hey Random how about the Entropy War?  It fits your criteria of being short, neutral, representative and doesn't have a shred of comedy or a whiff of pun.

 

The definition seems to fit rather well as well:

 

en·tro·py ˈentrəpē noun

 

1. a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's

thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as
the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.

 

2. lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder.

Another idea just hit me!  Sorry Random this one is pure pun.

You'd have to provide a definition of "entropy" in the war's description to help our various elementary school-aged people.

No. Not really. But I am guessing that is how we are going to call it.

The Or-durrr War

 

Kind of like it. But really like your signature. Excellent work.

[Beauty]

I think we should name it the VE-IRON war.

I was also going to suggest Pirates of the Caribbean.

All the credit for the sig goes to D34th of STA.

[Husker]

Its too early to name this war, there could easily still be more defining moments.

 

I agree with SCY.

 

Unless something happens my vote is for War of the Orders.
