You must not work for the US government. To properly construct an alphabet soup acronyme, the word should spell something [edit: in English, that is]. Examples:

PROTECT IP Act (Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act)

PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools)

JOBS Act (Jumpstart Our Business Startups)

Fannie Mae (The Federal National Mortgage Association)

Yes, but I'm not introducing a bill or making a government agency. I'm using the word "cog" in a creative way that also explains what the goal of the site is. :P

I actually really like CoGDev, but the problem with that is it's not so much game developers, as it is modders IMO. Anyone else agree/disagree?

Isn't modding pretty much just ex post facto development?

A lot of people are using game and mod interchangeably these days so it would be a minor fault if anything (IMO). And game would really encompass 'mod' in it even if people weren't turning the engine inside out (as with Duke Nukem 3D, Doom, Quake, etc.). Eh.

Well if you think it'd be appropriate, I'm really liking that name. It keeps some of the Massassi history without being so specific that people will be confused. What's the rest of you think?
2012-05-13, 6:56 PM #172
I, for one, am just happy that people think my suggestion is worthy of consideration. :)

Sounds like cock death.

I approve.

I like it--there's symmetry & I think that it'll be a walk in the park for someone to make a logo around the idea.

How about "The Admiral's Command Chamber"? (or: "TACC" for short) It's got a nice ring to it......

Only remember one?? Who else has passed away?

As far as I know, there was Lar van der Gant (as mentioned here), MaDaVentor and Vegiemaster. And there probably will never be word on Snake-Eyes.

Oh, and there was the whole Cavey "dying" thing in 2002 but that was actually kinda hilarious in a way (pages 2, 3 and 4)..

Master Sassi is the best... :colbert: Its original enough not to be copyrighted already, yet still h as a uncanny resemblance to the site s old name that has stood for so long.

Okay, maybe its not the best name, but i like the idea of keeping something of the old name in the new. We need a creative pun that instills the memory of the old (yet faithful) name in this new copyright-able name.

Allow me to make some suggestions:

MassiveAss
MasterAss
MassAssers
 MisterAss(Ass?{additional ass optional})
 MickJager

Ok, really though try as I might im unable to come up with anything good. Master Sassi is probably the best thing your going to get if you play that angle. Here are some of my hirrid (but honest) suggestions.

MasterAsinine
MassAssertion
Assassim (that's just putting the M at the end, but creating an interesting word nonetheless.)
MassAssimilation


ALSO: I started a band in high school named "The Forth Moon". It was also a star wars reference. We played Black/(any verb or noun with dark connotations)/Death Metal lololol Fitting I know. I had to chuckle in spite of myself when i read that suggestion on the first page.

So, Mr. Cool Matty, any headway in the name? Or would you like more suggestions? Haven't seen any activity here for a month, so I figured that something might've happened at some point.

...

I hope I haven't intruded or anything - I'm just curious.

I can vouch for this (I wrote a small portion of that code ;)).

To go back about 3 months, you lot spat out all those cog names and not one of you came up with "cogger"?

Or to make it extra dumb, Coggr.
nope.

it would be good if we kept the same rhythm and rhyme as "massassi"... how about "ass blaster"? It's Star Wars themed and also well captures the ethos here.

Wow, so many of you are still here (I used to be called Forsakahn btw). On the subject at hand, if any name got my vote it would be "Vertex Nation". Or one of the cog options. I guess either has my vote (assuming I haven't been gone long enough to do so).

I'd expect a Tremors fan site.
nope.

I think the most important factor is whether or not people can identify with it in a similar form to Massassian and alter it, after the fashion of RITsassians, Utahsassians, Britisassians or what have you. That forms a community identity and even smaller real world identity groups within. These are the only reasons Massassi is really still around.

Vertexia? RITexian, Britexian...

Too close to Texan?

I liked the Drazen Isle or a play on a popular level idea. Modder's High School. Modder's Dwelling. Tales of a Modder. A name that both references Massassi in some way but still speaks towards the new site would be great. My ideas are not very good but I figured I'd leave the creative names up to everyone else. :)
