Re: Round 30 Name Competition
Distant Thunder.
[edit]Darkest Nightmare, Unholy Alliances, Universal Chaos and Universe at War are shit. "Let's find two random cool words and put them together". I would've voted for Defiance, Addiction and Sacrifice, but "Distant Thunder" has a nice ring to it (and actually makes some sense, as does Hidden Dangers).

So he gave them the coy little wave and realized it probably would have been more effective if he hadn't been lying on their turkey.

Re: Round 30 Name Competition
I voted Fall of Night; not because I thought it particularly outshone the others in what is imo a rather boring bunch, but simply because it would gives the erroneous impression that my last round Ruler of my last round planet - also The Fall OF Night conquered the whole universe

I support Londo's conquest of the universe as I do every round!
ps I think that addiction strikes a little too close to home

Re: Round 30 Name Competition
Universe at war amuses me because it's a variation of CoD 5's name (world at war) - I hope it was intentional. I also voted Distant thunder and Defiance

Again, Universe at war is already the name of another game and so lacks originality.

Re: Round 30 Name Competition
I hope "Universe At War" would resemble next round the most, but I'm afraid it will be more like "Unholy Alliances" or "Hidden Dangers"

Re: Round 30 Name Competition
There was a really good one from last round (I think) that almost made it, that they should have used...but I can't find the thread.
mz and I both agreed it was the best, but a search of the forum doesn't show anything

I went with Hidden Dangers and Unholy Alliances, i liked the hidden dangers one but only picked unholy alliances at random just to see if you could pick more than one nvm could have been worse, i could have picked distant thunder which as Makhil has already said "sounds like someone is farting next door..."

Re: Round 30 Name Competition
the bottom line is that "Roidstaurant at the end of the universe" isn't in the runnings, so nothing is going to be nearly as good.
