This "Total War's" Name

[KCToker]

Can we be done with this debate over the name, already? This is the Karma War. I don't care if you don't like it, but that's its name for several reasons:

It just works, just like Unjust War and War of the Coalition worked.

It actually happened naturally. It was already pretty firmly set in people's minds that this would be called the Karma War before the vast majority of this naming debate started. It's always best to go with a name that comes about naturally than one that is arbitrarily decided in committee.

No matter how many polls you take, as long as you give them a decent amount of time to run, Karma War will always come out on top with a large lead.

And naming it Great War X already adds the confusion associated with using that name. Of course this war qualifies as a Great War, but it should not be named such. There's plenty of people here who use UJW and GWIV interchangeably. Calling this GWIV will only add to the confusion, so that every time you say GWIV there's going to be at least 20 posts asking if you mean the UJW or the Karma War. The old system of naming large-scale wars "Great War X" is antiquated. We've reached the point where you can't go past the number 3 without causing great confusion about which war you mean. You'll also have to be competing with the Wiki (the very title of the article for UJW is "Great War IV, The Unjust War", you have to at least call this GWV if you want to call it a GW).

I believe this war is called and will remain called the Karma war.

[Akama]

The Resolution of the Worlds Nuclear Stockpile is a horrible name, and I don't see why not call it Karma War or Great War IV or V. But The War to Resist Pacifica wouldn't be too bad.

[Homura]

It's Great War 5 to me.

Also, this would be a great time for me to make a sarcastic quip about how this can't be a War of the Coalition because Wars of the Coalition are only between TOP and NpO. But I wouldn't do that, right? Oh wait I just did...

Names for events are not something voted on, people come up with a name during or after and if enough start using it becomes popular and eventually the name. People did not vote on what to call WW1/2, Great depression, Cold War someone just uttered those names and people not having another thing in mind went with them. Its pointless trying to change that. This could have been called the Vox Retribution war even though it was not about them, and all the voting in the world would not stop people from using it once it become the name of it in there mind.

This is the Fifth Great War.

GW1: The original

GW2: The come back

GW:3 Wrecktheplacefantastique

GW4: Yes, UJP War was a GW. Shut up.

so this is the fifth one.

While I suggested Epic War, I would also support the April Revolution. Thats pretty good

[SilvioArjunza]

While I think a war should be over before it's named, I think April Revolution is pretty good. Karma War isn't terrible, but it doesn't seem to encompass the whole situation, in my opinion. It sounds like it's referring to the Karma coalition, regardless of what you mean for it to.

That is what it refers to...

Do we need to go through why the official name for a war ought to be unbiased again?

[Sunstar]

Trimming the Hegemony.

[Captain Flinders]

Karma war. That or Great war IV because admin said so.

[Lord Brendan]

There's nothing wrong with naming the war after one of the sides. See: Unjust War, War of the Coalition

[Mustakrakish II]

Well, going off that war propaganda of Hegemony and Karma as two different soda brands, we could call it the Great Soda War.

Just an idea

[Heracles the Great]

Epic War I - The Apocalypse

[mykep]

If people are going to be anal and continue to believe that "Great" is only between LUE and NPO, I'll support Epic War I.

[Windsor]

"The Global Revolutionary War" seems like a more accurate description of what's happening here. But... it's long.

[dapetey]

Big Bang

[Shodemofi-NPO]

Epic War I - The Apocalypse

Sure sets a pretty high standard for Epic War II eh?

[Geiseric]

I thought the consensus has been already agreed upon on Karma War? On both sides of the perspective, one looks at it as retribution, and the other looks at it as a struggle against the rabble mob which called itself Karma.

Pretty neutral imo.

It's the karma war, and if you cant accept that you need to stop pouting and move on.

It's a name. It's what something is called. If everyone calls something by one name, that's it's name. From your poll data, a vast majority of people call this the Karma war, for whatever reason. Disputing that fact is pointless. Just drop the debate and look at the data.

[Angrator]

The CoaLUEtion Resurrected? NPO getting pommLUEd?

[Zarfef]

Epic War FTW. We should immortalize this internet meme while we still have chance (before the youn'uns take over the world)

(also... I think Russia still calls WW2 the Great Patriotic War, so... different nations can techincally call wars different things... there doesn't have to be a war over what to call the war). Although... that would be epic.

[Gruthenia]

I know we're on the internet but do we have to sink to the level of bland memes for what should be remembered as a fairly unique event

[Rajistani]

Retribution: Nuclear Fallout.

The Last Stand: End of the Giants (Large Alliances)

idk.

[Mustakrakish II]

i still like the Soda Empire War...

jus' sayin'
