Title: Name the 14th Anniversary badge!
Post by: Leandro on March 20, 2018, 07:58:59 PM

This badge needs a name!

Voting is now open! Select up to 3 badge names from the list above.
You can change your vote until the poll closes.



It's that time again! From now until April 9th, the community can suggest names for the 14th Anniversary badge. A poll to select the definite winner will go up on April 10th until April 30th. That's 20 days for this thread, and 20 days for the voting thread.

The rules are the same as last year: it has to be one word, and it should be usable to describe a character; "Celebrant" is someone who celebrates, "Rhapsodic" is someone who is exceptionally emotional, "Torchbearer" is someone who carries a torch, "Timeless" is someone who is not affected by the passage of time. We're following the same theme.

Similarly when it comes to theme, this is a celebration of the game's anniversary! It should have positive connotations. "Punisher" or "Tyrant" really won't do. There's a lot of discussion about it that you can refer to in last year's threads, so they are linked at the bottom. No name is being grandfathered in, they all need to be nominated by someone in this thread in order to make the cut.

Right off the bat, I'm going to nominate last year's runners up:  Timeless and Everlasting.  Both were good choices then, and still are.

Lithy, have you been drinking? Timeless won last year. Everlasting, Resurgent and Unquenchable were the runners-up.

Maaaaybe ;)  So I'll nominate Resurgent and Everlasting.

I feel like this is the year to get Pantsless on the ballot, hoping it pulls a Tim Raines in the late 2020's

Intrepid?

Intrepid was a Flashback badge. 

Stubborn was not in use, though. :)

I propose Undying, Eternal, Undiminished, or Unrelenting/Relentless

Undying and Relentless were Debt Repayment badges. Eternal was a Veteran Badge. 

Undiminished and Unrelenting are valid under Leo's rules.

Perpetual

Incessent

Perpetual was a crafting badge.  Incessant is valid.

I would like to offer Unquenchable again. It means unable to satisfy. Our torches will burn forever!

It isn't glamorous, buy how about 'Standard'?

As in, "City of Heroes remains the standard by which other games are judged".

Going to throw "Spirited" back in the ring.  We hold the City in our hearts and Paragon Chat gives us the Spirit of the City.  We are a very "Spirited" community in keeping the torch lit.

/em holdtorch

Unquenchable for sure! Though that may work better as a 15th or maybe even 20th...

Fitting with the previous years trends, how about "Everlasting" or "Unassailable"?

Thank you!

Seeing as how I have a few time-power related characters, "Timeless" garners my vote.
Title: Re: Name the 14th Anniversary badge!
Post by: Captain Electric on April 08, 2018, 03:52:01 AM
You're in luck!

Timeless won last year. ;)

(Then again, maybe this is because you went back in time and rigged the vote....)

Among other prior Anniversary Badges: Celebrant, Reveler, Pursuer/Elusive, Merrymaker, Entertainer, Jubilant, Exultant, Lucky, Rhapsodic.

Any other badge name can searched on Paragon Wiki (https://paragonwiki.com), so folks can see if the name is already used as a badge or not.

Someone voted for Indelible! I didn't even like it enough to vote for it and it was my suggestion!

Also I forgot to suggest Pantsless McBadgeface.

You can change your vote at any time, so you can use your second or third choice vote to prevent a tie.

So if I go make a character called Gobstopper to go with this will someone be able to give me a "Tastes like snozzberries" gold title?

Post by: Captain Electric on May 02, 2018, 03:25:58 AM
I could not get behind you.  I was stunned that nomination was allowed being neither accurate nor in the spirit of the contest.

I'm surprised you're allowed, being neither accurate nor in the spirit of the contest. (I'm only being cheeky, don't go nuts. :D) But seriously, by your own criteria, Everlasting is even less accurate than Resurgent, because the game is even less everlasting than it is resurgent. (Hint: because it... didn't turn out to be everlasting.)

The weird part is, you did get behind me: as my post suggested, the community isn't resurgent... so why vote for an anniversary badge title that claims it is? (You'll notice that it was a runner up--meaning a significant portion of voters somehow disagree with both of us.)

But you're again inaccurate to imply the Titan Network is the community. It isn't. The wider community is spread across spiritual successors and other forums where veterans gather to either reminisce or collectively soldier on (or both). The Titan Network, as you kind of point out, makes up a tiny slice of that pie. I think you're overlooking how big and delicious this pie is.  (https://imageshack.com/a/img713/8065/9x3.gif)

But this is why Resurgent might one day apply: these anniversary badges aren't game badges as much as they're community badges. And in that spirit, I totally agree with you that Everlasting is an appropriate badge; I even agree with you that Resurgent isn't. But I very much disagree that it couldn't ever be -- if the community earned it, with a lot of hard work that's admittedly unprecedented for an MMO community. But if you're "stunned" that Resurgent is even allowed, maybe you have less faith in the folks in this community than you ought to.

(drumroll) patriarch

No.
