Ryan Greenberg Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 As much as I don't like the name, War of the Coalition, the names Red VS BLEU War, No CB War, and the Great Polar War aren't that great either. In my opinion it's the Continuum-BLEU War because I fought for the Continuum at that time and also because the Continuum-BLEU Front was one of if not the most important fronts in the war.

Nintenderek Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 No GW4 option? I didn't put a GW option so there wouldn't be debate over if UJW was a great war or not, and if this is a great war or not, and what makes a great war. This isn't a topic about that, and if I put a GW option, it would have become one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStig Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Can someone please explain why this doesn't qualify as Great War 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I voted No and currentOrders war would be best though Thing is the orders never actually went to war, just the ridculously complex webs of treaties that connected to the two did.

Bob Janova Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I always call it the Polar war (historians be damned) or the Polar/Hyperion war depending on whether I'm referring to the Citadel-NpO part or the whole group of simultaneous wars.

Uncle Stalin Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I thought it was called Great War V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I thought it was called Great War V. My thoughts exactly, considering it was big as, if not just as big as Great Wars we've seen in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Greenberg Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 My thoughts exactly, considering it was big as, if not just as big as Great Wars we've seen in the past. The war was never in dought though. BLEU + Allies never had a chance to defeat the Continuum + Allies. They were out numbered and the war was one-sided. That's why it is not Great War V. I call it the Continuum-BLEU War because I was in the Continuum at that time like I said in my previous post. Of course not everyone was in the Continuum and BLEU at that time, so I believe we should name the whole war something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potato Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) I see how it is. Earlier that week I edited that particular page by adding "(aka no CB war)" in the title and the box. It's been edited out again ... no CB war is the best name of the lot. Edited April 10, 2009 by potato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Greenberg Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 And there was a doubt in GWI? I wasn't around than. I have know idea about that war. From what I've heard it was fairly even until the Legion stepped in, but I honestly have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModusOperandi Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Myself and my companions commonly refer to it as the War of Principle since the Lodge entered with full-knowledge that we were taking up arms against astronomical odds for the sake of honoring our word that we gave to our Polaris brothers through an MDP. Wow; Mary Jane really does inspire run-on sentences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Salovsky Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 It's not stupid, but definitely could be improved. Red vs. BLEU is a cool play-on-words, my fav out of those. The original isn't terrible. But the lead one? no CB war? That's just dumb my friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Greenberg Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) I know this isn't great or anything, but me and a few others have thought of possible names. They're not great, but we thought of the names, War of Disorder and War of the Polar Storm. Like I said, they're not great, but they're at least ideas.

Homura Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 And there was a doubt in GWI? If Legion had taken the other side like they were expected to, that war would have gone a lot differently. There was also doubt in the Unjust War aka GW4. With both sides starting fairly even in terms of NS and GOONS with their unparalleled military supremacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I think "Great Polar War" encompasses a little too much history... I'll go for Red vs BLEU war because it reminds me of Spy vs Spy. Take Care, Celtic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Greenberg Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Honestly, you can never know what people want as a name unless we have more and better choices. None of the choices there in my opinion aren't great either. Great Polar War is ok, but not spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potato Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 As much as I love Polaris, you can't honestly name that war "Something Polar War" since it started with Hyperion being attacked for no good reason. The "no CB war" is still the better name seeing as GGA and Valhalla made up !@#$ to lure NpO's side into a war and the Coalition didn't have a better reason than "we're fed up with your antics and since your friends are occupied, we're going to attack you" no CB war it is.

Of course not everyone was in the Continuum and BLEU at that time, so I believe we should name the whole war something else. GW1 has completely different strengths of the two sides. We can't determine is a war is a Great War on the odds, both sides had a very large and substantial force to reckon with as with the other Great Wars. Personally, I feel we need a poll to, as a community, decide if this is a great war or not. And as for the alternative name given Nintenderek, I didn't like any of them, so I had to null me vote. Should have given a "none of the above" option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draztikus Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 War of the Coalition is an excellent name. It is a great historical reference, although perhaps a bit flawed in this case since in the actual War of the First Coalition France fought Britain, Prussia, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Sardinia, Naples, the Ottoman Empire, and the Dutch Republic, and came out ahead by enough to fight them for six more Wars of the Coalition. I can't say the same about the NpO. that's what we want you to think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iotupa Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 You pretty much have to assume the wiki is biased. I was threatened by the wiki mods for attempting to remove non-CN related stuff because it was added by the NPO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
