Eye Exam

 

- this submission is brought to you by Sarkin from DT and Stewie from BF1/NG

 

It's topical to the war itself, it's brief, and I don't think we've used EE before so it's even got a unique shorthand.

 

We didn't name Bipolar after the season finale of Lost or whatever; let's refrain from naming this after an underwhelming episode of an otherwise good TV show that just happened to be airing around the time of the war starting.

Next time you boring lot start a war without us dragging you to it, then you get naming rights. Until then, be good boys and just die. Thanks ❤️.

That would have been hilarious though.

 

If anyone can come up with a genuinely perfect name for this war then I think more people would be willing to go along with it - I know I at least would - but honestly, none of the alternate proposals have been remotely as good as Herogasm. They're either too wordy, not catchy, unfunny, biased, or some combination. As much as the whole "Argent relevancy" thing means nothing to me (and thus I personally hate it as a legit proposal), I feel like the wiki listing it as the alternative name was a decent compromise. Idk, no name is going to be universally popular, but Herogasm has stuck the most, so this whole thing seems kind of settled to me unless a month and a half has somehow produced some kind of genius idea that no one thought of yet.

Dungeons & Doom (D&D for short)

BiPolar II

Terrible Peace War (or The Terrible Peace War War - you get what I mean)

Roll War (we have both RFI and RFD involved on opposite sides - name can include both)

 

I do not get the Herogasm reference.  It's a comic book or am I totally off the mark?

The Amazon's adaptation of the graphic novel. To condense it in a few words (probably doing it some injustice), it's super heroes porn.

AFAIK it aired when the war started.

 

I think it's a terrible name for this war as there's no link or parallelism with CN stuff, many of those supporting it probably do so mostly because they feel it's provocative and/or inappropriate.

 

(And yes, I know that some material related to it has been discord'd, but that was after the fact, so to speak.)

 

(I'll here go out on a limb to say that, to me, it very much feels like something that's as old as - at least - the Mushroom Kingdom's subculture: attempts to be "controversial" that, unknowingly, materialize in the form of conformism and bigotry. Wannabe anti conformism, in short.)

That's my only criticism with it, really. And yet, I continue to hear that it's categorically genius, with great comedic relevance.

 

Still, I've yet to see one that I really like, that isn't relatively biased one way or the other. (Plenty of funny one-sided ones, though 😅)

War of High Altitude.

 

We do after all have most of the top alliances by rank in the war already.

It gives me the dizzys looking at all these giant alliances fighting each other, just like high altitude would.

Also a lot of the conversation in the discords and forums feel like people are light on air.

Looking at the wiki I offer the following:

 

The Tallest Bloc Flag War 
Make More Micros War

Pendings for me but not for thee War
