Indeed, while Tevron's were for the most part stinkers (sorry Tev!), this was his best attempt so far. 1 hour ago, Codainia said: The Casualty Crusade. You see, not to pre-empt anything, but this only really works if CCC decides to come to play. Where's the fun in a Crusade, if no "Deus Vult"?

socrates Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Keep the focus of the conversation on naming the war. Stop posting image spam, stop trolling each other over diction, stop discussing coalition politics. Consider this a verbal warning to everyone in the thread.

Smitty256 Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 The war has a name "Herogasm". Since FTW and NATO started this war, we should be able to decide what the name of the war that WE started should be. And we want it to be "Herogasm".

Further, since the prevailing consensus on that front is the Delusions of Grandeur War (JA, making himself relevant again?), the matter is quite settled. ...that us, unless the opposing forces have dropped any pretence of them really being the victim? --- In principle, though, I do agree with Tevron that we should attempt to find an title that is amenable to all parties.

I do agree with this, although tbh I don't know if I get how Herogasm doesn't fit this criteria since it doesn't really have anything to do with either side, it's just a funny and meme-able name. The only thing I can think of is that the Doom/Oculus side didn't come up with the name, but that doesn't make it a bad name lol.

It has developed some similar features such as the war sort of splintering into two sub conflicts within the larger war, and the bigger escalation taking a week to really kick off. Also both wars have seen FAIL be revived to support their allies lol. I'm sure it's not perfect since I wasn't really active at the time of Bipolar, but I feel like it might kind of work.

That, or I'm missing a reference somewhere. 49 minutes ago, lilweirdward said: [...] since it doesn't really have anything to do with either side [...] Call me odd, but I love wars which are named in a way that parodies/works off of both sides. Snake Eyes, for example incorporating both RFI's dice theme, and the COBRAsphere's ophidian nature 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this specific point: it's a reference to an episode of a TV show called The Boys. The Boys is a popular show based on a popular comic series of the same name, and this episode released on the same weekend that the war started, hence the relevance.

Johnny Apocalypse Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Every war is named differently by the respective combatants, there doesn't have to be one single name for a conflict. Snake Eyes was known as the Korlathican War by COBRA as Levon pointed out. IRL Russia refers to WWII as The Great Patriotic War. Ultimately the name that sticks the most tends to be determined by who actually wins the war. Also based on how rapidly this war has just become a pretty tepid slow grind with no genuinely exciting developments beyond the addition of inactive fodder to pad numbers? "Anti-Climax" seems fairly apt for a name, if only to serve as a contrast to "Herogasm" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty256 Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 I support there being 2 names for the war. I like most on my side of the war support the name "Herogasm War". I also like "18th War of Argent Relevancy". BiPolar II or Anti-Climax are both good suggestions as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
