Argentum may have a new name: War Metal

[randall]

I seriously hope Romero didn't come up with that one; it reaches new heights in lameness. I don't know why someone would suggest "War Metal" over "Argentum".<br><br>Argentum is sofisticated and sounds so much more complex, much like the Ag engine.<br><br>War Metal sounds like it is dumbed down, just in case someone can't grasp the concept that an RTS just might be a war game.<br><br>I've always liked the name Argentum, before I knew what it meant. I have no idea who these people were that hated it.

[Testicules]

I feel that if we are to take Testicules seriously as the name of the game we should consider variants such as <br><br>Testiculum:  Battle Males on the Loose<br>or<br>Testiculitch:  Scratch in the Sack<br>or <br>Testiculovores:  Rocky Mountain Oyster Wars<br><br>Where is my friend Moose?  his opinion must be carefully weighed in this endeavor.  Why does he remain silent?<br><br>Posted by the committee to change the name of Argentum to Testicules or something similar - All like minded individuals wishing to help are encouraged to please e-mail MooseMaster, the Testicules Fan club president.

Come on guys, let's stop this Romero rumour please.<br>

[Luciano U. Werner]

Wow! John Romero is working for Ionside?<br>Are you guys trying to port Daikatana?<br>Just imagine PD...

[Phantom]

Actually I think War Metal is a good name. Perhaps Argentum sounds cooler, but new customers will not recgonize it as a RTS by it's title. And since Argentum will probably be sold online, there is no box, and all people see is a game name. That name should indicate what the game is about. Just like with my upcoming game 'The Nutcracker'.

You too, Brutus?

[Luciano U. Werner]

I agree with Phantom.

[Paul]

oh no, please dont encourage them...

[Luciano U. Werner]

What's the problem with a name change? As if that would spoil the game or something.

[Paul]

yes, it would. of course it would. plus its a ridiculous thing to do at this time. methinks carpe is just looking for something to do to take our minds off the fact that he needs another month to work on it.

[Luciano U. Werner]

Oh come on Paul...<br><br>But I have to agree with you that this whole debate cuts Carpe some slack on the release date.

[Paul]

come on? no its stupid, war metal is so tacky and ridiculous... oh man, its like we're back in the days of cheapo freeware games made by some 13year old with clik-n-play...

[suchiaruzu]

Shapeshifter agrees

[Paul]

you are redeemed.... just dont start with that logo shit again
