A New Name

So, official update time.

The CPP will soon be known as Vox Populi.

The CBP will soon be known as the Community Balance Overhaul.

These changes will be part of the next official version of the project.

These were the most acceptable and well-received solutions to the problem, and I think they will do a fine job. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this discussion.

So if the whole thing is called Vox Populi (:/), and the balance patch is now the CBO (eh, sounds fine), then is the core CP still just the CP? Or is JFD gonna have to redo his new infographics. Again.
 
I think it's odd that Gazebo overlooked the possible name of ModdyMcModface.
 
RIP CPOP.

I know I won't change anything, but I'll throw in my two last pennies:

Vox Populi sounds like it's the larger mod. Fancy Latin names tend to be associated with something grander. In contrast, CBO as an acronym suggests something more basic, austere, not deserving a full name, and doesn't represent that it's derived from or built upon the base Patch.

Although I can live with that just by thinking it's a Vommunity Patch, changing the mental image from CP to VP. It's a much more pleasant acronym after all. :D
 
CBO sounds like a TV network.

Vox Populi, will become Vox Pop, which in turn will become VP, after all, this is the txt spk era ... lolz

Vommunity Patch, changing the mental image
... to someone being sick!
 
No offense was intended, although I tend to be sick when perfectly good names are being discarded. :p I'll continue to use CP/VP regardless, since it's a spanking good mod/patch, and the fact that JFD's civs and mods depend on it totally doesn't have any influence on my decision. :p

On the other hand, I've been injecting early 1970's British humour directly to my bloodstream recently, so anything's possible. (lemon curry)

I didn't necessarily want to discard CPP/CBP, but the number of confused posts I have to deal with specifically because of their similarity is awfully annoying. I've admitted guilt for creating this poor naming scheme, and now I must kill the beast.

Vox Populi.. There is no smiley for this ..ROFL. What a name. Was does it stand for?
 
vox po·pu·li
ˈväks ˈpäpyəˌlī,-ˌlē/
noun
the opinions or beliefs of the majority.

Oh man, that's got a schwa in it? I've been pronouncing it: pop-yoo-lie, not pop-yuh-lie. The schwa just sounds wrong.
 
vox po·pu·li
ˈväks ˈpäpyəˌlī,-ˌlē/
noun
the opinions or beliefs of the majority.

Not entirely true:

Vox = voice
populi = people

Voice of the people, not of the majority.

Ok. I now understand. That's a Gazebo :lol::lol::lol:
 
Neither is correct, it's "paw-poo-lee". I don't know why these sites promote such an english bastardization of the pronunciation if it's an obviously latin term.

That's probably because it was an English dictionary, meaning it is supposed to promote the proper English bastardization.
 
RIP CPOP.

VP is the grand mod, which includes CBO (the former CBP), C4DF, CSD, etc...
CBO of course includes CP itself, and CP remains the same as before.
 
Isn't Gazebo the CBO (Chief Balancing Officer) of Vox Populi Inc.?
