Zevari Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 "The Great Mirage" It kind fits since both blocs seem normal at first but in reality roasis had massive lower tier with almost no high tier vs the overwhelming Hollywood high tier. The war gave the illusion of being extremely one sided but ended in a white peace due to the inability of both sides to effect breach the respective tiers. (plus it suits considering the real definitions of Hollywood/oasis) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro, that doesn't account for the fact all those names sucked and the creativity level is negligent. I mean you left an option for Hollywoods first ride? How uninspired are you guys over there? Do better. Actually I'll double down Changup. I dare you guys to ask a simple question there "Do we suck at naming Globals?" with an option for yes/no.

I'm asking why you think RON is a more appropriate forum to host the determination of the war name (instead of, you know, the official P&W forum that players would correctly assume is the official discussion space for the community) and your response is just bragging about RON accomplishments. Did you forget to complete your post and make an actual rebuttal, or did you humble RON folk just want to inject more RON into a thread that isn't about RON? Maybe you could blog about it on your news server, let everyone know how triggered you are that I had an opinion you didn't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not an official game server however and despite your audience numbers, there was no effort to make sure the community at large was aware of and included in the process whereas the forums are an official game platform and this method is an established tradition for picking names. If a solid chunk of the community already has a name, then great, it will probably win out. Stop being insulted over people pointing out RON isn't the official game server and they weren't even aware of this nomination/vote. It may help for future if you use your platform to encourage people towards here instead for the official name.
