Title: Name the 13th Anniversary badge!
Post by: Leandro on March 10, 2017, 06:09:13 PM: (https://i.imgur.com/4LiPUEX.png)

This badge needs a name!

During the last four years, I've been posting Anniversary badges on Twitter. Torchbearer (9th) (https://twitter.com/leandrotlz/status/328369607096295424), Unstoppable (10th) (https://twitter.com/leandrotlz/status/460730650740260864), Perseverant (11th) (https://twitter.com/leandrotlz/status/592986384912281600) and Indomitable (12th) (https://twitter.com/leandrotlz/status/725855250662457344) were names aimed at the community as a whole, for sticking around with the game while Titan got something like Paragon Chat ready. This year, we have Paragon Chat, so the community can start picking names for the Anniversary badges.

The "rule" for anniversary badges has been that it has to be a single word, and that it should be an adjective. It was that was for the "official" 9 badges, and I'm not about to break tradition. And, of course, it can't be a badge name that already exists.

Previous anniversary badge names: Celebrant, Reveler, Pursuer/Elusive, Merrymaker, Entertainer, Jubilant, Exultant, Lucky, Rhapsodic.

I'll gather names during the month of March; if there are many good candidates, I'll put together a list for voting in early April. The selected badge name goes to Paragon Chat in late April or early May, depending on when a update is ready.

Post by: Manga on March 10, 2017, 06:17:08 PM: "Fortuitous"

Lucky was already taken for the 7th anniversary.
Title: Re: Name the 13th Anniversary badge!
Post by: Rocket-Cat on March 10, 2017, 06:17:36 PM: I looked up synonyms for Lucky! Because it'll be lucky Number 13.

I found Auspicious as having qualities which inspire hope.

Celebrating the 13th anniversary should be an auspicious occasion.

Title: Re: Name the 13th Anniversary badge!
Post by: Korbian on March 10, 2017, 06:32:35 PM: Everlasting
Veracious

That's all I've got for now.

Post by: Lithy on March 10, 2017, 06:48:04 PM: I'll just get this out of the way: Triskadekaphobic (Fear of the number 13)

and Triskadekaphilic (Liking the number 13)

Not that I expect either to win, but they had to be mentioned :)

Post by: Korbian on March 10, 2017, 09:38:55 PM: Thanks for likes!

Y'all don't forget to check your suggestions against the wiki! Steadfast, Staunch, Devoted, and Eternal are already existing badges, unfortunately.

Post by: Zerias on March 11, 2017, 07:28:14 AM: If I may, if I might, suggest: Luminescence

This, for me, is a reference to a very recently departed player, Luna, who died of cancer.

It is also a reference to the hope that the community of former players bring to the game; to shining a light so many years after our game was cruelly taken from us.

The anniversary of CoH isn't just a reminder of what we had... or of what we've lost. It is an ever re-occurring notification of what the former players have accomplished; and bright shining star of what we hope to achieve.

Thanks to those that are continuing to bring improvements to Paragon Chat which does have the Spirit of the City in it.

Unquenchable by Globetrotter is my favorite of all the ones suggested so far.

My suggestion: Monumental

I have my reasons.
Title: Re: Name the 13th Anniversary badge!
Post by: crashpositron on March 12, 2017, 08:37:21 PM: I vote for 'Communal' since the community is what we have.

If that's too mundane, I vote for Everlasting or Resurgent

(frankly the Resurgent is because of the Resurgent Body Wash commercials on thecaperadio!)
Title: Re: Name the 13th Anniversary badge!
Post by: Starfighter on March 12, 2017, 08:56:27 PM: Repressing the urge to put in the usual stupid-joke suggestions, I would, at current, be most support of Resurgent. The term, as mentioned previously by Saipaman, carries the implications of acknowledging what Paragon Chat has done (and continues to do), and what the various legacy projects may end up accomplishing for the superhero MMPOG community if they play their cards right.

Also like Korbian's Everlasting. Linked to many of the ideas already indicated and could also be seen as an expression of this community's semper fi attitude with regard to CoX's breakthroughs (technically and creatively), and its determination to see things through to a rebirth, whatever form that might take.

I actually think I prefer "Auspicious" or "Fortuitous", in the hopes of great things to come.

Post by: Reiyichi on March 16, 2017, 02:49:03 PM: I have a few suggestions, if we can do multiple badge names for heroes/vig/rog/villies I say Paragon of Justice for heroes, Punisher for Vigies, Destroyer of Worlds for Rogues, and Tyrant for Villies. Why those two for Rogues and Villies and not the other way around? Cause to me, a Rogue only cares about themselves and not really anything else, Villains on the other hand wouldn't mind doing w/e it takes to carve out someplace or something they can rule over, be it a world or just an island or two. If we cannot go that route however, then my vote would be for Unquenchable too.

Post by: Ohioknight on March 23, 2017, 02:22:00 AM: Unforsaken is good -- it would get my vote, since I feel like the Chat team members are the ones throwing us a lifeline here.

Auspcious and Resurgent are also fine choices.

1. well chosen or suited to the circumstances.
2. pleasing and fortunate.

You know, because 13 ;D

But we still get to run around the City and the Isles in fab costumes, at least. So although 'fortunate' or 'well chosen' might not seem apt, I am thankful that we get to see the sights again and remember the good times.

If folks are going to do a vote, may I suggest an ordered vote ... 5 4 3 2 1 with each person able to give 5 votes to their 1st choice, 4 votes to 2nd, etc. -- I'm generally in favor of doing that whenever voting on more than a binary choice.
Title: Re: Name the 13th Anniversary badge!
Post by: Tahquitz on March 26, 2017, 08:21:02 PM: Simplemachines Forum (what this forum uses): It's a simple poll. You can pick one choice per username, but until the poll closes, you can change your vote at any time.
Google Forms/SurveyMonkey/etc.: Depends. This is Leandro's baby, up to him.
Title: Re: Name the 13th Anniversary badge!
Post by: Leandro on March 27, 2017, 09:57:41 AM: I highly doubt Sekoia will let me stick a .php file in the server in order to have custom voting with forum auth, so the regular SMF poll will have to do.

Will probably set it to allow picking 3 choices and let you move them around until the poll ends, that should give enough flexibility.

Post by: Captain Electric on March 31, 2017, 07:52:32 PM: Thanks Surelle! I also like Spirited because it reminds me of the badge's fun, celebratory roots alongside words like Jubilant, Celebrant, Reveler, Merrymaker and so on. Paragon Chat isn't for everybody, but it still represents a hefty community milestone that probably justifies celebration and a short reprieve from defiantly-themed anniversary badges.

I like a LOT of these suggestions, and will be very interested to see what happens when polling takes place.

My own suggestion for the 13th anniversary badge: Never-Ending.

Thank you. :)
