Polling will continue until nomenclature improves!
Since the previous polls had so many options and were very inconclusive, I want to take a step back and ask first what kind of name we should use to see if there is a signal in the noise. Of all those mentioned, I see them falling into the 5 broad categories below. Pick your preferences, and we'll go from there.
Of course, non-binding poll as we're still under Despotism!
Explanation of the choices:
Mononym: In the style of Civilization, a one-word title describing the concept.
Examples: Polity, Civitas, Holocene, Statecraft,Millennia, HUMANKIND
Thematic: A few words or brief phrase that evokes the historical 4X theme.
Examples: "C&C" format, Epic History, Vox Populi,Rise of Nations
Creative: A longer and/or more unique title that isn't as literal.
Examples: One Turn Deserves Another, From Stone Age to Space Age, Past is Prologue, Weight of the Crown,Call to Power
FOSS-style: Following the common pattern of open-source clones, just add a stylistic prefix/suffix.
Examples: ReCiv, OpenCiv, CiviLibre, CivPi,UnCiv
Obscure: A codename that makes no attempt to be marketable.
Examples: C7, Threepeat, Project 312
