So, how many characters will we have? If so, i recommend Howard Donaldson for the protagonist, just because I like the name.
Is there an official antagonist, or does that depend on which side you take at the junction?
believe it depends mostly on the junction but we are all waiting for the final part of the story.
It does indeed depends on which side you take at the junction.
Please be aware that BOTH of the main characters in the CP are also the main characters in Perfidious. You will be affecting my own mod with your suggestions too.
I remember recommending Adam Chandler as the main protagonist. I know it follows the Adam/Eve pattern, but I still think it sounds pretty good.
I would also like to commend iron maiden on taking such control over the situation. Karma++.
please, I'm just trying to get the CP moving along.[blushes]
By the way, hate to sound tacky here, but could another possible poll be done for the protagonist names?
Yes, of course, just wait until we've got enough.
in that case, any who wish to submit a name can. No Name will be turned away unless that name is synonymous with the opposite gender of the protagonist.
But remember that there are both male and female characters to be named. The name you suggest may not be used for one of the two main characters but you may find it used elsewhere.

I figured this might be of help. It uses 1990s census data for names, so it is REAL NAMES, not that fantasy mumbo jumbo you get from RPG name makers. It can use the probability from the census data as well to output more common names more often.
Thank OM for improving it so much too.
Some of you know it quite well.

I apologize for the link format. You do not need to be logged into BZComplex to download the forum attachment so I linked directly to that. Any issue say so and I will get it in a normal FTP.
I think it should be a Scion like name (or Scionic). Note the patterns in FE and BZ2. The Scion names are often french sounding. How about Jean Florence?
Scions are named the same as humans. Burns, John Cooke, etc.
Oh well... I like french names anyway. How about Jean Florence?
its not that its a bad name, but it does not sound like something you would want a manly, heroic man having. Donaldson, now that's a manly name. Can't go wrong with the Scandinavian ones.
Jaque Martin
i'll keep that as your official name prooposal, sounds much better.

Donaldson Duck.
How about Brett Hummons?
[veryunmoderatorthingtosay] How about we name it... "your mum"? :lol:
My apologies... but things like this have to be said. Its the un-written law.

what do you all say to a poll, now or wait another day?
Now's good.
I would wait until a few more viable suggestions come up.
TJ, that's... no. just no. alright?
lol, just noticed my post count... when you hit *stupid* it changes it to 'leet' :lol:
understood, I'll give it one more day for those that have not decided to send a suggestion
We could always do a Caesar/Brutus thing...
Just to let everyone know, i have created the poll and voting will go on until either we have a unanimous winner or reach a stalemate. I remember Ahadely stating that there should be names for the female in the story to, a separate poll will be created with new suggestions once this poll is complete.
Don't forget I posted my name generating program in case people need a list of possible names.
that to
LMAO at poll.
:wink:
he, hem sorry. :-D
oh, and by the way, i forgot to add AHadely's suggestian and so i have added it as of this post, sorry again. :-D :mrgreen:
The name generator?
THAT IS NOT A NAME!!
Why the frick is that on the list?
I completely agree.
you will have to speak to VSMIT, i believe he used his extensive powers to add that on. Perhaps i should set the poll to zero and have a re-vote?

It's on the list because I think it's a better choice than those already up there. And because it's currently winning.

I completely agree.
You can "completely agree" to your heart's content, but right now I'm on the verge of ignoring anything you say with regards to any story development.

And I have not voted yet either.
VSMIT, the name generator makes all those possible names up there pointless and completely destroys the relevancy this topic was made for! I am right on the verge of setting all votes to zero and starting over! :x :evil:
QuoteCharzibama.
okay, what?
And you know what's cool about that? Even if you restart it, the name generator will still end up winning!
Well then lets see! Sorry to all of those that have voted but i am restarting the poll so that everything starts off correctly.
For reference, all the name generator really means is "not one of these".
you could have said that a lot earlier!
Iron Maiden: When you edit a poll, you need to make sure that if you're just changing names around, you need to keep them in the same position.
I definitely did not vote for Adam Chadler.
I'm resetting the voting again. Don't know why you even edited it. It was just fine the way it was.
Why has my vote come out as AC?
Ok, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you should have kept accepting suggestions for longer.
Agree
If the name generator wins (probably), then what is going to happen?
Just another list of unimaginative names will be stuck up in the poll.
Oh BTW... VOTE FOR BRETT HUMMONS! HE'D VOTE FOR YOU!!!
um...we haven't created him yet.
QuoteOk, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you should have kept accepting suggestions for longer.
QuoteAgree
Ironic when you think about it being you wanted me to do the poll the first time i asked.
BTW, i have taken BBB's back on Brett Hummons.
I'm sorry but the poll has changed my opinion.
How so?
Everybody is voting for the random name generator. I really don't like that option and I think that if we wait for more suggestions some good stuff will come.
Clavin, VSMIT and I have already had a squabble over this and have re-set the poll i think 4 TIMES! I will think about it but don't count on me re-setting it again!!
Hey Mr. X, a Writer wanted to as well. Besides what does it matter? Just a few clicks and some typing and that's that.
Ah, very well[grinds teeth], i will re- set it and wait for more actual names. But with all due respect to Neilk and VSMIT, i would like to take out the name generator, it just made things to difficult and drew this out longer than it needed to be.
Why not remove the poll until there are 10 or so name suggestions?

Because that would be the intelligent thing to do.
The poll had been locked and the name generator taken away, I will allow those who have put in a suggestion to add a second, mine shall be Jack Hughes.
QuoteBecause that would be the intelligent thing to do.
Seriously, ...........................uncool
I just removed the poll entirely. When we get more suggestions, we can add it back in.

You do know that is actually a compliment...
Coolness is so uncool these days.
um....................what? :|
Nother suggestion of mine. Don't count it as plagiarism but: John Hughes
I guess I will just keep track of the names, so far i think that is six.
Might be a good idea to edit the first post with a list of all the currently submitted names. It's kind of a pain to wade through all the posts to pull out a few submissions here and there.
I'd like to suggest John Mason,
I suggest this because Lieutenant Mason sounds cool to me. I also feel that unlike some other suggestions it sounds like a real name.

This is a very good name. In fact, though you may not realise it, it is a stroke of genius, for two reasons. Firstly, the name of the main character in both stock BZ2 and FE is John. Second, there is already a Manson in the storyline. Have any of you met his son yet?
I actually said Mason, not Manson...
But then, it actually would be quite cool if it were Manson and he were related to the Major in stock BZ2, maybe his nephew or something who joined up because he was inspired by his relative.
Yeah, I'd like to suggest John Manson.
got it, the current names are:'
Howard Donaldson
Brett Hummons
Adam Chandler
Jaque Martin
John Hughes
Jack Hughes
John Mason/Manson
should we keep going to ten or wait for one more?
Keep going for as many suggestions people can come up with.
Roger that, oh, and people, try and lay off on the "J" names, we have four already and i don't want the next major expansion, just like FE to continue with a person with a name beginning with "J"
People, please spite Iron Maiden by adding as many "J" names as possible.
Please realize that you are only one man, Iron Maiden. You alone do not guide where the CP goes. That's my job.
QuotePeople, please spite Iron Maiden by adding as many "J" names as possible.

All I am trying to say is find it a tad redundant that the names of the protagonists in BZ2, FE and this upcoming expansion pack to all have their first names beginning with "J". Oh, and I know that I am one person, I am simply trying to show as much possible initiative in this project as possible.
It's like the number of alien races in Star Trek that start with T. People don't notice and even if they do they don't care, but there is always someone who wants to be sure the next alien race doesn't have a name that starts with a T even though it effects no one in any way.
Ah, very well, consider the statement withdrawn from discussion...pile on the names
By the way, I have created the poll for the third factions names but cannot figure out how to unlock the thread. i believe it is due to my somewhat low rank. The three suggestions are Thenoxii, Atlanteans, and Rythmians
Perhaps i should simply create a new thread and start the poll there.
I don't see ANYONE wanting those names. The most popular is Aenean or some corruption there of with a blistering 3 definitive supporters. All other suggestions have 1 or less supporters.
GGGGgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I......DO NOT...............LIKE..............THE TERM..........................AENEADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But, being as it i know VSMIT will simply add it to a poll anyways, i will create a new thread with a poll including it. the topic for discussion will be terrain and misc. map info.

Fortunately for the forum and unfortunately for you, this isn't Iron Maiden Mod. If Aeneads win (and they certainly seem to be) then that's what it is.
I am fully aware of that, i simply do not like the name.
I love how in all these pages no one informed me the name maker was corrupted.
Did anybody download it? :P
Corrupted?
I have a working version.
Odd, when I download I get non working archives.
Like I get with FS2... 7Z!
