Can't we just call it....... round 22? :/

Re: Round 22 Name
 
I voted for "The Unseen Enemy" seems like it follows on nicely from last rounds name. Given that I didn't play last round I don't quite know if it actually fits with the current climate, it just sounded good :D

Re: Round 22 Name
 
Ahh, The New Dawn, now that was a special time to be alive. The rest of these names don't seem all that inspiring, though I'm voting Shards of Infinity because it seems the most ridiculous. What is a shard of infinity?

I can't wait to find out.

Re: Round 22 Name
 
I found endless endeavour to be least shit.

I really think we should just start calling them r22\r23 etc. though :(

Re: Round 22 Name
 
You should make it a multiple choice poll appoco so people aren't just limited to one choice!


PS The AV account is now actually dead, I think you can re-reg it.

Re: Round 22 Name
 
agreed, wasn't that many exciting ones this round, but i guess you gotta vote for something..

Put in my own suggestions, but they weren't shortlisted..

What'd you guys think?

1. Battlestations!
2. Strategic Conquest
3. Brace for Impact!
4. Full Speed Ahead

oh, almost forgot, voted for shift of power... the best sounding name on that list imho

Re: Round 22 Name
 
The name I submitted sadly wasn't posted so I'm not gonna vote :mad:

Re: Round 22 Name
 
Shards of Infinity as well. It kind of sparks my imagination, I don't know.

arc 11 Jun 2007 22:55

Re: Round 22 Name
 
omg, where is my suggestion !?

Clogg 11 Jun 2007 23:13

Re: Round 22 Name
 
A shift of Power, got a feeling this might well be the last round we will see alliances as we know them shifting toward a more galaxy / cluster orientated game. Dunno if this is a good or a bad direction though, but just my humble opinion.

[DW]Entropy 11 Jun 2007 23:25

Re: Round 22 Name
 
Endless *blank*? we just going for a repeat of previous rounds?
Struggle for power, shift of power, a few unoriginal entries

GrandAdm Thrawn 11 Jun 2007 23:26

Re: Round 22 Name
 
Well Im not playing, least not as a planet, I still be there to improve things, so its obviously for you guys "The unseen enemy" thats my choice :p

Makhil 12 Jun 2007 01:15

Re: Round 22 Name
 
The Unseen Enemy got my vote, it would be nice if we can move away from the usual 'power, dawn, struggle, eternity...' vocabulary.

Cocteau 12 Jun 2007 01:23

Re: Round 22 Name
 
I like "A Pledge for Dominion" best..

Fits the round's timing, since some new alliances are born and PA Team's attempt to attract new players in this free round.

Re: Round 22 Name
 
Every round the name gets cheesier and cheesier :(

Batusai 12 Jun 2007 03:09

Re: Round 22 Name
 
I'll go for The Unseen Enemy :D

it keeps u guessing until the last minute.

Round 22 - A Pledge for Dominion

[DW]Entropy 12 Jun 2007 08:12

Re: Round 22 Name
 
Shards of Infinity for me..sweet sounding name that isnt cheesy, not boring and doesnt just sound like a clone of previous rounds

Allfather 12 Jun 2007 14:55

Re: Round 22 Name
 
Round 22 - The podening....
Round 22 - Roid or pull
Round 22 - The doldrums...

Rinoa 12 Jun 2007 14:56

Re: Round 22 Name

cheers big man

HeimdallR 13 Jun 2007 13:40

Re: Round 22 Name
 
don't see my submission in there, thought my idea for "fog of war" as round name wasn't to bad though

have voted for "A pledge for dominion" its the only one i really like

AV. 13 Jun 2007 16:49

Re: Round 22 Name
 
Would "Fog of War" arouse conflict issues with the classic holocaust documentary of the same name? (available in criterion edition I might add) Or do the sub-titles of online games enjoy exemption from this kind of thing?

I don't know.. either way, it's not a shard on shards of infinity.

The documentary Fog of War wasn't about the holocaust. Or is there another one in addition to the Errol Morris interview with Robert McNamara?

Re: Round 22 Name
 
All I have to say is that Shards of Infinity sounds like an inspiring name and is similar to all of the old endless etc. titles. PA will never end

Ahh, apologies, I was mistakenly thinking of Night and Fog, which seeing as it's on the shelf behind me was quite an elementary error.

Bah, the one i vote for always loses :(

Re: Round 22 Name
 
Unless round-names are tied to some storyline feature (which would require some notion of an evolving universe instead of round-after-round of the same), you're probably better to stick with 'Planetarion: Round 22' and save people from getting the wrong idea.

Nazqil 14 Jun 2007 22:52

Re: Round 22 Name
 
No retreat, No surrender ? Lovely name... Thats fits perfect with those new players who will waste their fleets in first 300 ticks ? ^^

Zipp-ster 15 Jun 2007 20:47

Re: Round 22 Name
 
Totally agree with Nazqil!! :D

AV. 16 Jun 2007 12:21

Re: Round 22 Name
 
I'm glad that my avid campaigning led to my choice being used.

The first person to discover what a shard of infinity actually is wins the round!
