[Poll] Blocktopia - Final Name Choices

[Enderfive]

Gr8 b8 m8 I r8 8/8 for World8

Damnit, I was gonna do that.

w8 m8s, World 8 is gr8, I r8 8/8, so don't h8 and accept our f8, it's not too l8 to vote for W8

I suppose ER, P2P and PP (that's the only acronym of those four that doesn't associate with something else in my head) aren't too bad either.

P2P

Presstoplay sounds like Pay2Play which is for EA which will cause a lot of problays.

Yeah, that's the concern I have with it as well.

"Apologies - clerical error meant I had a deciding vote left to add a fourth name to the options. Thread reposted, vote away - won't be deleted again!"

Very unprofessional. Lots of threads being deleted nowadays. How can I trust you with my vote?

 

[Stam1na]

Gotta say that even though I haven't been much around in a long time, this thing which is going on seems damn refreshing.

//: What's this 8-thing?

 

[Duffie]

... I'm actually okay with any of these four names, really. I just like Pixel Portal the best. xD

I can think of stuff to draw for all of the above, though. They're all creative enough to be somewhat unique.

... Although, Press 2 Play is probably the most generic of the four options. No offense if given, it just feels like I'd easily see it elsewhere. xD

 

[Enderfive]

I'm not really a fan of any of these names, they seem to hard to create a name for the members of the community, like Escape Restart, Restartians or Escapians is really all we could name them (Escapians does sound like a race in a fantasy game)

Worldians or Eightians seem a bit unoriginal
Pressians or Playians reminds me of Saiyans

Though Pixelians is a decent name we could be accused of ripping off Hypixel, and Portalians sounds like an alien race.

Restarters
W8mates
No, I got nothing for P2P
Pixies

Idk, why is this that important anyway?

 

[Duffie]

World8 - W8ers? Weighters? Maybe some kind of play on words for a final level type deal?

Pixel Portal - Pixels? Pixies? (I feel like that fits quite well, actually... xD)

Press 2 Play - Players? Pressers? P2Pers? (A play on Pay to Play-ers.)

Escape Restart - ESCists? ERs? Restarters sounds the most ideal. (I'd go Escapists, but that's a thing already.)

People like having a name for members of a community, like Blocktopians, which is easier to say rather than "I am a member of Blocktopia's community"

Yeah, well, if you're dealing with people outside the community, there's a pretty nice chance they've never heard of us, so "Blocktopian" or anything we'd come up with for the new name would only cause confusion, and if you're not, then why do you need to identify yourself as a member of the community? We all know you're one of us anyway.

I mean, yeah, sure, I've nothing against finding the name to signify a member of the community, but I don't feel like it's a thing we should consider as carefully in a new name as you seem to think we should.

 

[Nottykitten]

Tbh Escape Restart would be a bad name for a community in my opinion. It doesn't feel like a community name at all. Just like Press to Play it just doesn't sound good at all as a name for a community.

While I'd rather stay a Blocktopian, if we have to take one of these four, Pixel Portals or World Eight would be my choice.

 

[Damer_Flinn]

It appears nobody has drawn my mental image of pixel portal yet. I'll get back to you on that.

Here's a Minecraft related one I found though.

Here are some mockup ideas posted on behalf of TheQube:

(The "Shit I know" is Qube showing his dislike for his own design, not the name itself)

 

[Haysagar]

Yo Baker93, @Qube fixed it for you.

 

[CloudBryan9]

What ever the name might change to. I will always be proud to be a Blocktopian.

Omg, they all look so nice.

I especially love Pixel Portals and Press2Play. :D

The way I see it, it's like an idea of a retro-style central gaming hub.

Pixel, defining a retro gaming feel, and Portals, defining a central area of community, or doors to other areas, ie; games and servers.

Well modern games have pixels too, they are just usually too tiny to see them

I'm just a sucker for retro, so that's what got me into it.

But, you make an even more valid point. xD

 

[Infected_alien8_]

Quoting Hipman: Pixel Portal and Press to Play just don't give me that 'URGHH'. XD

 

[Willchill]

Going with EscapeRestart, we probably need to show a gaming, or at least technical feel to the logo, as it doesn't really represent it so far, even though it sounds good, so The Esc in Escape could be the Esc key.

lmao
