Exceptionnal circumstance >> exceptionnal decision

It's not even worth arguing with you, you're missing the whole point of an anniversary. If you tell us that the MAD suggestion is yours I'll understand you're fight otherwise it doesn't make sense.
See, therein lies the problem. The suggestion for having a 10 year anniversary name was great. However, I personally don't think that the suggested name itself was good. There's where we are having our disconnect I think. I would rather get a bunch of people involved and get a cool name that RELATES to planetarion AND the 10 year mark, rather than settle for some vanilla "happy anniversary" name. To me it's worth spending the extra time to do it right.

Personally, I would do a 10th anniversary skin to go with their 10th anniversary name. I'm sure other people have other ideas that can be put into play. But when you rush something like this and celebrate these exceptional circumstances with a "happy anniversary, see in 10 more years," you miss out on the chance for people to really contribute.

This is like forgetting about you and your wife's anniversary and picking up flowers on the way home, instead of taking the time before hand to plan a trip that happens after your anniversary date. But yeah, I could see how you think I don't understand the complex point of an anniversary...
