Would you like to name a PW?
 
I'm creating a new playerworld, and, as an idea, you can choose what I'll call it. Suggestions for names are also welcome.

Zallus 07-29-2003 07:09 AM

Zaibatsu... plutocracy? Why?
And... it's googolplex. (http://db.uwaterloo.ca/~alopez-o/math-faq/node54.html)

Also, I can't edit my poll now that it's posted, but here's another one: "Solemn Destiny"

Yeah, I know, but we Americans have a tendency to slaughter everything. I mean, here is a govenment site which says googleplex. I should know better, being a math major, but what can I say, I've succumbed to peer pressure.

I voted for Infinity's Tale. And the "YAPP" selection base idea is copied from YaBB, right? ;)

Eien

Zallus 07-30-2003 04:10 AM

Hey. Here's some info on the names:

Eien - A japanese word, meaning immortality.
Infinity's Tale - This is what I'm calling the other project I'm working on, an actual computer game. Guiness World Record for World's Longest Game Contestant... heh. I really don't want people picking this one, because of GraalOnline's TOS (all material submitted becomes property of CyberJoueurs Inc...), but I am in indescision because this is my favourite choice.
YAPP (Yet Another Playerworld Project) - There's quite a few things this is a pun of. There's software, websites, etc. with the YA label, but this wouldn't be what I'd call this if it got chosen. It'd just be the "Unix Name" of it.
Satatsu - Random correlation of japanese characters. I didn't think anyone would pick this one, but, hey, anything's possible.
Tomorrow - I just wrote this down on a whim. If this was chosen, I wouldn't argue... but I wouldn't necessarily like it, either.
Truth - Another whim, this one a bit better.
Solemn Destiny - This is what the project was originally called, after about 30 name changes, and two reforms. I stuck this one in for good measure.

Euphoria is a good name, but it wouldn't fit with the style of my campaign (originally a G.M.). I should drop a few details (copied from a post (on another forum) by my co-owner, who has since left the project):

This is an mixed game, containing several worlds. Each is in a different theme; some are futuristic, some medeval, some made completely out of cheese (j/k) etc. Each one of these worlds is actually the work of a structured splinter of the delelopment team. At the start, it'll all be from the main team, but different worlds may end up going in different directions.
All trade is player-to-player automated, meaning that the seller sets up a shop that the buyer can purchsae from at their own pace. Weapons exist in many different forms, swords, bows, knives, poles, guns, proton cannons... yeah, proton cannons. You actually HAVE to get a job to make money, and you can either build the houses that you live in, or rent an apartment (which you pay by the sleep, so there'll be no charges while you're offline.)
There are races, each of which has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Humans are NOT one of them., just so you can't be biased. Also, there are "fields of study", equivalent to classes of other games. You have a Knowledge level in each field, and when it's maxed out, going to bed will result in a level-up (to explain the level-up recovery effect). You can equip all kinds of things, and, as an added bonus, an early side-quest allows for a complete loss of encumbrance penalties.
Speaking of quests, there'll be 20 when we first go public, and those are just the plot-developing ones. The story will advance in the form of "Acts", one Act being equivalent to a new section of the main world, Equus, that you've explored.

Many more things will be posted on the subject, I just thought I'd start you off. You can flame me... now.

Zallus 07-30-2003 06:01 AM

Close it now, please.
 
The votes have been calculated, and the winner is: YAPP! However, I really don't think that anyone would visit a world labeled "Yapp", so the public name will be the runner up, Eien (Aie-ehn)! However, the server will still be yapp.graal.net, just to thank the people who voted for the joke-option. Anyway, CLOSE THE THREAD AND POLL NOW, PLEASE.

Nick1988 07-30-2003 11:07 AM

Eien? 3 vowels then a constanant. Weird name...

konidias 07-30-2003 11:33 AM

Why even make this poll if the winning name isn't going to be the actual name of the playerworld? You shouldn't have even put YAPP there if you're not going to name the server YAPP. :|

Also, about your playerworld. It doesn't seem like it would work out at all. A guy with a knife against a guy with a proton cannon? Sounds fair. :p It's obvious the only weapons anyone will use are the futuristic ones. Seeing as how there is no weapon from the past that would be stronger than one from the future.
