Nintenderek Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Okay, here's the deal, I'm sure we all have seen this article, right? http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/War_of_the_Coalition Now, I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks War of the Coalition is a terrible name for that war, right? I mean, if I remember right, it wasn't even a poll option when there were all the naming polls. Someone just decided to name it that and nobody changed it. So, here's my question. Who actually likes that name? For the second question, I came up with two names which I think were better. Out of the three options, which do you think is best? I'm hoping who ever writes most of the wiki articles sees this poll and changes it. That's why I called it a petition Also, I am open to suggestions for other names to edit into the poll.

Drai Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Just to make for a confusing poll, I voted No, and No CB war. Funnily enough those are both honest answers on my part. Edited April 10, 2009 by Drai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homura Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 no CB war is a stupid name. so is red vs BLEU. I didn't write it, but I swear, you people have no imagination whatsoever. Just leave it as it is and get over it already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moridin Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) I am of the opinion that the 'official' war names should be as plain, serious, and unbiased as possible. The "No CB War" is very much a name coined by one side to propagate a certain view on the war, and Red vs BLEU just a ridiculous term because there was much more to the war than just NPO or BLEU. Great War I isn't referred to as "The Great Patriotic War"; The War of the Coalition works just as well as GWI did and I don't see any need to change it to any silly names like "No CB War", "Red vs BLEU", or whatever cutesy names particular people or alliances have assigned to it.

Delta1212 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 No! We can call it... the Great War! Actually, the Great Polar War has a nice ring to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mythicknight Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) I hated the name WotC when it was conjured up and forced into the wiki, and I still hate it now. Not much better options, though. Meh. Fake edit: Great Polar War does sound nice. In before nitpicking about separate conflicts.

LJ Scott Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I took part in the noCB war. The other wars involved fine gentleman slapping wrists, which I was not apart of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Srqt Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 to be fair if you search NoCB war it redirects to the right page. I also prefer NoCB war Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintenderek Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 to be fair if you search NoCB war it redirects to the right page.

TheEraser Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 2nd great patriotic war. Though i think only polars/polars during the war refer to it as such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruthenia Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I call it the noCB War here, but I think the wiki article should remain as "The War of the Coalition" so that we may all be reminded of the time the forces of blandness were at their height, which the name reflects perfectly. Also War of the Coalition is the most neutral name probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiphosis Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I always call it the BLEU War, people generally know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventus ex Gutter Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Voted Great Polar War, but I would actually prefer soething epic, such as "The August of Red Snow" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anenu Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Red vs BLEU and No CB war are both stupid names as they are either a result of propaganda (which i agree with but is still propaganda) or is just wrong. While WotC may not be accurate but it think that war names need to sound epic so that 2 years from now people won't realize how lame it actually was and they will think we did something.

The main problem I have with WoTC, is not the bias in the same (if I had a problem with that, I'd have a problem with the name of UJW), or anything like that. The name is not epic. It's stupid sounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
