Vote for the name you like the best! The winner will get a copy of the unit and the unit will be given the winning name. The runners up get some gold!

Please do not crate any threads or posts asking for votes, as it will lead to you being disqualified.

Looking through the name that ship thread, nobody actually went for the Flancraft Carrier in the end. So who gets the ship when it is chosen. Miner or Albeezy?

Yeah, as an LE. The Limited Edition "Sky Devil" was another one. Same with "Tug of Love".

If the name is going to be "Flancraft Carrier", then I hope it will be an LE, as I don't buy those. Please don't make it an event unit with that name.

War Priest
08-12-2012, 01:35 PM
I guess I picked a good time to stop buying limited editions. I wouldn't buy that either. Funny thing is whoever buys it, it's going to have powerful stats and will show up in the battle screen...

Just wait until Flan comes back and laughs at whoever bought it. :D

I was done buying. But if they make that an LE . I might consider buying it. Like a piece of history. Who knows. Maybe someday wp, you'll make over 25k posts and another one of these events come up ,maybe they'll name an infantry unit after you

I agree. GDC is a great name and a realistic one. USS type names in real life are given to individual ships, not ship types. It would not be realistic to have multiple ships with the same USS name. Plus, USS is a US naming convention, it would not be realistic for a UK person to have a USS named ship. HMS would be realistic in that case.

there were some really great names listed in the original... The top ten chosen just feel so generic sounding.


1.Three out of ten end in Carrier??? I would guess over 200 names were given and three are picked that include carrier??

2. Havoc Wreaker? hard to say, harder to listen to.

3. Executor. Mothership. Generic and Genericererer

4. Iron Duke? I love me some John Wayne but again, there were some really cool sounding options I remember reading.

5. I couldn't care less that mine wasn't included in the top ten. I entered the Singularity which is very average and uncreative. This top 10 however makes my answer look like it's something to write home about (which again, it's not)

@bushobama

"4. Iron Duke? I love me some John Wayne but again, there were some really cool sounding options I remember reading."

I hear what you're saying but just to explain...the "Duke" was a more a reference to British monarchy as well as the original definition of it as a military leader in the Roman Empire.

I do like the idea though of the tie to good ol' John Wayne or even Duke Snyder. :)

Here is the "nomination": "In honor of Flan, I say the Flancraft Carrier. Just kidding CCM. Please don't make that my vote."

Doesn't exactly sound valid to me.


WoW - Really? Flan? If they actually name a unit that I will lose all respect for the game :/


I'll add this to the growing list of disappointments.....
These are just the most direct, there are many others. Do you not see how this reflects on credibility? To take someone who was (and probably will be again) disruptive to the forum and elevate them like that, especially when it wasn't intended in the first place, is very disappointing. This implies management endorsement of that kind of behavior. Of course nothing was ever done about it before so I guess that was always the case anyway. Yes the ignore function works but that only goes so far. I hope when the new forums are setup this approach will change.

To all hating on the FLANcraft carrier just stop! If it was a robes cardinal with an ak-47 and we voted war priest in no complaints or a James bond type with Bronson as the name there would be no complaints. Why not immortalize the forum members as ingame units. It would be cool to have bosses on the maps named after forum members too. Then you could take down your faves on missions too! A ninja named Kod? A drill tipped personnel carrier named the miner would be sweet. This could be a first in a long line of sweet les based on us the forum members! Jump on the bandwagon

Miner
08-13-2012, 08:26 AM
A drill tipped personnel carrier named the miner would be sweet

I like it!

In all seriousness, and like I posted earlier, I do think it would be awesome to occasionally name LE units after major forum contributors. You throw a pop-up message out in the game when the LE is listed and promote the forums telling people that top contributors may have the opportunity to have an LE named after them, and maybe even a hand in the design of the unit, you would get a lot more people participating in the forums.

C'mon CCM -- here's your chance to look like a (even bigger) genius in those weekly staff meetings!!!

I am opposite of everyone here I guess. I don't see how it's funny when Flan isn't here. If he was here, then yeah because he wouldn't be able to buy it and would always brag about it.

But if he doesn't know it exists, then it's not.

I just got an idea though. I have his email on file on the other forum so I am going to send him an email and let him know about the Flancraft and turret operator.

I make no judgments as to worthiness, notice I did not say I should have a unit named after me. Besides, I would rather be immortalized as a map BOSS, like I suggested in the KA forum.

Speaking of the KA forum, how did my swamp rancor name not make the top 10? A goblin themed name made it, but that thing looks nothing like a goblin? A bull themed name made it but it doesnt have horns? BromanTAURUS made it, but last I checked Taurus was a constelation of a bull (see previous comment). An ogre themed unit made it, but Ogres do not have tails? Clearly CCM is not an engineer (he said so himself), because any respectable engineer would have included my Swamp Rancor name just because of the reference to Star Wars! No hard feelings though CCM!

@Miner, we know how those meetings go! CCM "We should start promoting the forums by naming LEs after forum contributors" Meeting Attendees "What ever happened to that video idea?"

Ok guys, I sent Flan an email. Let's see if he comes back to check it out.

I really think Flan should get the unit and gold if the Flancraft wins because if I remember correctly, Flan was the one who originally said they should name a unit after him. Then he mentioned a Flancraft something. Am I delusional or am I correct?

Actually, Flan would never listen to me about FLANatizing unit and event item names. I kept trying to get him to FLANitize his signature where he listed his event finishes (8 FLANades instead of grenades, 7 FLAN plans instead of spy plans, etc..). Then one day I think Ryans posted a pic of a boat with a single jet fighter on it and said it was a flan boat carrying a FLAN plane or something and I pointed out that it was a FLANcraft Carrier carrying a single Flan-16 Fighter Jet (F-16 for short). As far as I know that was the birth of the FLANcraft Carrier, but I welcome anyone else to prove me wrong. Worst part is that it was in a FLAN thread and he deleted it! The picture was hilarious though!

EDIT:
For reference:

Why don't you replace the extra "o" with an extra "g". Personally, I think you should FLANitize all the event things. Just say you got 9 FLoggles, 7 tiFLANium bars, 8Flockets, 9 FLANades, 3 FLANkie talkies, 7 FLANcines, 8 FLANe parts, 8 spy FLANs, etc

It would be very FLANish of you. And that is why we love your posts

This idea has my one hundred perflant support.



next LE set rare going to be a FLAN-16 Fighter Jet or a FLANcraft carrier? I think someone already posted a pic of a FLANcraft carrier carrying a FLAN-16 fighter jet before but it was in a thread FLAN deleted.

I am opposite of everyone here I guess. I don't see how it's funny when Flan isn't here. If he was here, then yeah because he wouldn't be able to buy it and would always brag about it.

But if he doesn't know it exists, then it's not.

I just got an idea though. I have his email on file on the other forum so I am going to send him an email and let him know about the Flancraft and turret operator.

Good Idea
besides he probably went camping and will be back on time for school, then he will make his "comeback" to the forum...hahaha

Don't email him until after the LE is done. So he isn't able to get it . If he sees it, it just might get him to spend to get it

I did. It is nice! A few quick taps and I collect about 5 million. Once I finish upgrading my Ore Mines it will be close to 9-10 all at once! It was funny, I kept trying to get one of yall to raid my stuff before someone else did and then someone snagged the first oil refinery for 480k, but the oil rig lasted almost 12 hours. Right before I was going to collect it someone hit it and got 540k. LOL. I totally would have been cool with someone de-allying with me and claiming it, but oh well.

On a side note, I just got raided by a Jason and he hit my level 10 supply depot, both my armories (level 9/5), my oil derricks, my cement factory, and my shipyard, but left my level 4 and 5 EPPs alone! Pure genious!

He doesn't have gold and he sold his buildings. It's not like he is going to buy it and play. I just want him to see that all his dreams came true after he left.

they already made one, check the bonus units for the current LE set (or maybe last weeks LE set). Next up would be a FLAN plane (aka the FLAN-16 Fighter Jet aka the F-16) LOL WP Would be SOOOOOOOO JELLY!

I should have proposed to name the KA unit FLAN the Beast! That would have been awesome, but I am not sure he would evoke such a strong response in the KA forum.

I don't think the flancraft carrier is very funny. It will be even worse if it actually wins. And to think that only .3% of the games players will even know what it means.

Now, if the image looked like the original flancraft carrier, it would be hilarious. :D

Now that pic is funny. I disagree Ryan. Flan would be honored, and all the forum members would get a laugh everytime they see someone with the Flancraft Carrier.

I know people keep saying, but all the people not familiar with flan will get it..actually...alllll the people not familiar with the forums won't get it..all people not familiar with the forums EVEN KNOW the contest is going on.why, because they don't come to the forums. Even lurkers know who flan is and the person he was. Only the people who aren't even forum members will not know ,which they also don't even know of the contest, so why do people care if they don't get it.

. . so why do people care if they don't get it.It would be like the U.S. Navy building a Ship and calling it the USS Mondale. Sure - a lot of people born after 1980 wouldn't know what the heck it is - but it would STILL be a slap in the face of Honor. There is no Honor in promoting Foolishness.

Ok - so HERE is a more Modern Example - what if the Navy released a Nuclear Carrier called the U.S.S. Snookie? Wouldn't ThAT be foolish? Same sentiment.

I understand what you mean but it's a game. I myself expected a more serious take on the names but it's good to see they have a sense of humor. I didn't even like the guy... At all... But the name is funny, and knowing flan cant even have the unit with his name in it, is even better. My point was people not getting the joke. If they don't get the joke,then there not forum members. So all these people that won't get it , don't even know their was a contest for naming it and wouldn't think anything of the name because they had never heard of flan anyways
