Hello everyone! A colleague and I are having trouble deciding what we should name our MMOBBG that we are working on, which has strategic elements and similarities to Tribal Wars and Travian. So we've decided to come up with 6 possible names and cast several polls on several sites to get a better pool of results. With that said, which name do you prefer, or rather which name rolls off the tongue better?

Voted Pandemonium also.
Imperium, nah you can cross that one out, makes me think too much of WH40k's Imperium of Man.

Pandamonium sounds more fun.
But Vortex rolls of the tongue easier. :D

Oh, duh! I play one of those. Kingdom of Loathing. My cousin got me an awesome KoL shirt from ComicCon.

Anyway, I've played neither of those games, so without prior knowledge, I'm stuck between Pandemonium and Imperium.

Pandemonium:
1. wild uproar or unrestrained disorder; tumult or chaos.
2. a place or scene of riotous uproar or utter chaos.

Imperium:
1. command; supreme power.
2. area of dominion; sphere of control or monopoly; empire.
3. a nation having or exerting supreme power; superpower.


So Spartan, which of these two describes your overall intent/plot/theme of your game? What your answer is shall be my vote.

I voted Cortex; but in retrospect I'm not entirely sure what the game is all about. Shoulda asked Zero's question.

Don't know if it's trademarked or whatever but:

Imperium, vortex is a bit old and overused.

voted pandemonium
thought the other ones would be either

a)likely in use
b)too bland (tactium? really?)
c)or cliche
