Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
I like Fight for Recognition

With all the new allies etc :)

furball 17 Jan 2007 12:24

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
I liked Fight for Recognition, the Legacies of War and A New Decade (which I voted for). Really not keen on Orbital Shift, what exactly is the appeal of this one?

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
i voted for one which wasn't mine else i'd probably be told off for cheating, but i don't really like the legacies one for some reason. I really like Hopes Spring tho, again, I'm not sure why (!)

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
I like The Orbital Shift. Represents the character of the round with no eXi and no 1up. Also with the new race coming in it highlights a change in the game. Superb name and congrats to whoever thought it up.

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
I wonder if someone from the alliance "orbit" might have had a hand or two in that suggestion :p

Voted for dawn of chaos.. Im expecting huge pa crashes and server outage next round.. Wait, thats normal.. ah well.

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
I kinda like 'Beyond the stars'

Only because it fits so nicely to:
Planetarion - beyond the stars. :p

I voted for The New Guard, with a new race been introduced it seemed very apt.

Hold on. You're attempting to sway the vote by getting all of your members to vote for a round name that happens to have the word 'orbit' in? How sad is that :rolleyes:

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
there should be an orbital shift in the PA crew if they pull that off....bullshit voting is just that, bullshit... let's just call the round "Conspiracy Theory" or "A New Destiny" or "A New Omen" etc

come on ffs

Phil^ 17 Jan 2007 18:31

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
it wouldnt be pateams fault if they do pull it off, rather the fault of those who voted for it

aNgRyDuCk 17 Jan 2007 18:32

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
the PA team can monitor it, and correct it if stupd shit like that is allowed to happen

amusingly enough ive just looked through the list and seen submitted names such as "omen's where" , "the destiny" , and "The New Dawn". no conspiracy theory ones though

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
I see even when I'm on pateam my suggestion for Round XX: The Return of Roman Numerology didn't get through. Nor Round 20: Dear God Let It Stop :(

furball 17 Jan 2007 19:06

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
Phil, you'll also see my recommendation that all of the suggestions involving alliances' names, such as "A New Dawn", "Omen's where", "The Destiny" and "The Round of Angels" should be dumped in order to prevent alliances hijacking the vote. (yes, all of those were real suggestions)

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
Yup, you posted that on the thread furball :) - missed the angels one but thats another to add to the amusement

i didnt send "Kobayashi maru" to the email address either and it didnt get through :(

I also voted for it due to Ascendancy being the alliance that has won a round in the past still playing, and I doubt they'll bother trying to win again.

A Bad Omen!

-Blue Moon- 17 Jan 2007 20:29

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
to be fair the suggestion has nothing to do with orbit ;-/

a NEW Decade
DAWN of Chaos

That's like saying I don't like those two because they're references to ND :(

And you guys thought last round's name was horrible...I can't imagine playing around called 'Orbital Shift'.

and "Hopes Spring" sounds like the name of a b rated porn flick

if Orbit All Shi(f)t wins, I predict a tough round for them.

Fight for Recognition suits the game well, so I picked it :o

sometimes its unavoidable due to the alliances name ...

Dawn appears many times as an option and suggestion and as a space game .. Orbit is kinda part of the scenery.

Woah yeah, as opposed to our usual breeze to rank 1? It'll be good to have some competition for a change.

Havent had a tough round yet, even when multiple top 10 alliances were declaring war on us simultaneously. Why should this one be any different?

Veedeejem! 18 Jan 2007 14:37

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
Legacies of War (i was forced to do this don't blame me i'm really innocent i swear)

btw: i like the name too :D

Koks 18 Jan 2007 14:42

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
I think dawn of chaos is a good name for the round since there are so many new alliances around.

Mighteh 18 Jan 2007 15:36

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
o/ Fight for Recognition. Eventho the community is small enough for almost any new player to get the recognition instanteniously :o

"Dawn of Chaos" <-- boring and i am sure done by everyone and their grandmother called one or another thing dawn of Chaos :( ... (how many times word "Dawn" was used in round's names ?)

"Hopes Spring" < i like the irony (sarcasm ?) in it... not enough to get my vote tho.

"Orbital Shitf" < poor name tbfh. Even if its an aknowledged fact that it has nothing to do with Orbit in itself, not can we expect a boost of performance from them, i reckon... its just a shit name :(

did you notice that we managed to gain 4 ranks on the round before, increase activity massivly, take on an alliance our own size and one below us at the same time and manage to take out time to attack HR. We have at least a 100% increase in returning members from the previous round.
Maybe you should try and find out about allys that you decide to insult before saying such words.

edit - off topic so i wont continue anymore here, if you wish to insult us more come by on irc or pm me, no point in letting everyone hear your pointless insults

i appologize if i offended your alliance. I did not mean to, i was just reflecting my view on the situation with name, not your alliance. THe remark about performance was not negative nor positive... I could say thta i dont expect a boost of performance from ND or, say, ToF, or HR or whatnot, and it would just mean that. i expect them to do as good, no matter of the round's name.

however, the fact that you pointed out that u have 100% increase in returning members from previous rounds speaks for itself really... Alliance that has loyalty issues is obviously underperforming...

Its ironic that u got defensive about something that was not meant to be an offence, and brought up a fact that should indeed offend your alliance :D cheeri-o

MAsta_MArk 18 Jan 2007 21:00

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
well the increase of people comeing back, and considering before last round we were a "training allaince", would mean that there has been an increase in performance, weather it was poor before or not has nothing to do with the sentence when it is worded like that.
and as for not meaning it as an insult, ok, i didnt relise that you meant it in that way and sorry for jumping the gun.

this round is going to be called "orbital shift" ? seriously?

furball 19 Jan 2007 01:15

Re: Round 20 Name Competition
 
Having followed the voting trends, with another day of voting you would have seen a win for Dawn of Chaos over Orbital Shift.

I'd like to thank Orbit for fagging up the round name selection process for several rounds to come - this isn't how it's supposed to be.

extremely retarded... way to go PA community \o/

:/ I think this round will just be refered to in memory as R20...

Well, we didnt suggest it.
And come on, this is supposed to be a game. We saw an oppurtunity to have a good laugh and took it. Just because we tried to make the rest of the PA community the butt of this joke doesn't mean everyone has to get all pissy. Those who do take this WAY too seriously. Besides, it's not like you have to play, if you hate the name so much ;)

hmm and would alot of the Dawn of Chaos votes come from New Dawn like everyother time dawn apears in a choice??

the fact that it was there to be voted in the first place means it was okayd before voting anyway cos if they though it was bad it wouldn't be in the list
