Title: Renaming my mod/campaign.
Post by: sigtau on May 24, 2009, 11:49:00 am
I need to rename my mod and its campaign (which will probably take on the same name).

The campaign takes place 21 years post Capella.  The GTVA rebuilt the portal to Sol in Delta Serpentis, but upon returning we find Sol in complete anarchy.  We are now waging a war against the TSA (Terran Solar Alliance) based in Sol, who have launched a fairly credible offensive into Delta Serpentis.

The old name was "Solar War".  I'm afraid it might get confused with the Inferno campaign "Solar Wars", so I have a list of names here that might suit it better

Silent Thunder
Dark Infinity
Journey to the Line
Stright On 'Til Morning
The Third Rock
Forgotten
Omega Rising

If you have any better ideas, let me know.  Otherwise, cast your vote here--I'm a bit shaky on what to name it.

Sounds like just about every other "return to Sol" campaign.

How about "Original Sin"

Of those, Third Rock is the most memorable and least trite, though it's not ideal given the associations with the comedy show.

The first three sound like make-overs on other Mod names:

Silent Threat
Twisted Infinities
Beyond the Red Line

Gaia Rising and Cold Reunion have my vote, as campaign and mod creator.

It fits perfectly without being blatantly stupid.  You know what I mean? It just gives me that :warp: feeling.

I like Dark Infinity or Olympus Burning.

Olympus Burning is the best so far. Intriguing, mythological, and it doesn't sound too close to Cold Element.

Olympus Burning wins as title.

Expect updates on the campaign soon.   ;)

As this seems to be an Terran-vs-GTVA-campaign:
"Terra Nostra, Culpa Nostra"
(My Latin is not flawless, so you might check it up first) meaning "Our Planet, Our Fault"

the latin name should give it some deepth, emphasising that there is some sencere theme involved

"Terra Nostra, Culpa Nostra"

More like "Our Land, Our Fault". :nod:

And geez, the only difference between that phrase and its Italian translation is the "u" of Culpa (which becomes "o"). For a moment, I thought you proposed an Italian name... :lol:

Third Rock from the Sol

If Icarus counts as rock, well, that proposal needs to be changed.
