Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens Final Resolution. 1766	Posted - 2014.05.09 00:51:00 - [1] - Quote The DUST Bunny thing is cute but if it is going to be EVE: Legion, how about a name that is actually cool and CCP recognizes as a name? Capsuleers is iconic and reading a CONCORD message about "A war between 5,000 Capsuleers" doesn't some ridiculous. Imagine hearing "Caldari Prime tension increases as Bunnies attack Mordu's Legion." No, that bird won't hunt. Wait... So how about a real, cool name? Legionnaires is too long and really is not iconic. The Valkyrie, the Capsuleers, those are guys you gotta worry about; Legionnaires doesn't scream "we are better than the average soldier." By the lore, a Squad of 6 of 'us' are capable of burning through an entire platoon of basic soldiers. We "are dangerous beyond compare." So what does CCP call us? Anyone can be a mercenary but few can be 'us.' "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

137H4RGIC SVER True Blood General Tso's Alliance 193	Posted - 2014.05.09 01:16:00 - [5] - Quote The Dust Bunnies thing was given to us as a derogatory name by EVE Capsuleers as slang. Dust Bunnies referring to the bundles of dust you find on your ceiling fan or places of that nature. It's simple. We just find a derogatory name for them.... What do we know about capsuleers? 1) They are stuck in a sterile field because of fear for contamination, ergo they are stuck in their ship or in their Captains Quarters. 2) They travel in little eggs that fit inside larger ships. 3) They show no signs of physical expertise or prowess. 4) We don't even know if they know how to shoot a gun, or which end shoots the gun... But they do know how to operate turrets. I wanna call'em Eggheads. Or Eggs. What's a word for someone who is frail and cannot connect with the outside world for fear of germs from a skid on a knee? EVE players? Good at Dust?! Let the indiscriminate slaughter of PC huggers begin >:)

137H4RGIC SVER True Blood General Tso's Alliance 194	Posted - 2014.05.09 01:20:00 - [7] - Quote Whereas we, we fight on the ground. We experience more death than they do usually in a month. We bleed, our bones are shattered, our cries heard throughout the battlefield, We decorate or tanks with the entrails of the fallen. Shrapnel is the rain in which we bathe with the ringing of gunfire all around us and the haze of battle clouds our vision, yet we press on. Unafraid of death. We experience it every day, moreso than those ... Carebears do... That's what they are... Carebears. They call people who hang out in Empire space since they are afraid to PvP... Well. I think, all EVE capsuleers are carebears since they are afraid to get their hands dirty on the battlefield. They'd rather stay safe in their large ships tucked away in their small eggs that will transmit their consciousness at the first sign of a hullbreach in their egg. First sign of trouble? They reclone. Our first sign of trouble? We open fire. Thus I dub Eve Capsuleers, Carebears. EVE players? Good at Dust?! Let the indiscriminate slaughter of PC huggers begin >:)

Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens Final Resolution. 1771	Posted - 2014.05.09 14:11:00 - [42] - Quote CCP Logibro wrote: Just want to add, Empyrean basically refers to all of the various groups that use cloning technology, so that includes us, Capsuleers and Valkyries. As for the rest, keep it coming /popcorn My posts sometimes bring all the devs to the yahd... Anyway, I am not a fan of Legionnaires. It is not unique to 'us.' The Real World has Legionnaires; be they in the French Foreign Legion, part of a non-profit organization in the USA, or even a type of pneumonia. It is not tied to the world of New Eden. Capsuleer is entirely a New Eden thing: the little red line that Firefox puts under it clearly proves it. It is a term that is used to describe them perfectly. If I say "Capsuleer" to someone that I am explaining EVE to, they can immediately understand just how different the universe is that such a term would/could exist. The Valkyrie (pilots) in Valkyrie are obviously based on real world mythology. However, it is a term used to describe who they are. People choose the best pilots out there, steal them, and turn them into Clone Pilots like what happened with R+ín. It does have some real world connection but quite little in the end. Legionnaires is really quite ubiquitous. I think we should go with something that doesn't connect 'us' to the real world. I like "Immortals" because of the final line of the trailer but New Eden kind of has a surplus of people that 'live' forever so the name doesn't make them unique. Immortal does. However, because of CCP's love for their viking heritage, I propose: Einherjar These were great heroes that fell on the battlefield in honor and were brought to Valhalla by the Valkyrie to prepare for Ragnarok. The More Sand in the Box keynote already let slip that "Valhalla (tm)" was going to be something. This is something that does have some connection to the Real World but if I am talking to my friend and trying to get them to try out Legion, if I say "We are the Einherjar" not only will I get massive nerd credit for knowing how to pronounce it thanks to listening to it repeated for hours but they will know "ah, this is something in the game's universe." "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens Final Resolution. 1771	Posted - 2014.05.09 17:07:00 - [46] - Quote Sarducar Kahn wrote: I have often used the term Mercs, this is still applicable, accurate and short. That is a profession, not what you are though. Mordu's Legion are all (well, since Templar 1 they are expanding) all normal humans mercs. Would be like calling a Capsuleer miner just a miner. Being 'us' is not so much a job. I mean, I don't think there would be much use for humans that are 10 times stronger and tougher than normal people at a data entry job and the "I come back when I die thing" is only helpful in a profession akin to throwing your body into a meat grinder until it stops turning but we are still far far different than the average human. Calling us, the players right now, mercs would work as we are soldiers of fortune but there are plenty of "whatever the hell we are called" that are permanent soldiers in the respective armies of the four races. Remember that CCP Eterne will be doing news letters about New Eden. A letter like "Kaalkiota sends 10,000 mercs to attack a planetary outpost believed to be the hiding place of Tibus Heth" doesn't tell you what kind of mercs or change KK with Gallente Federation where they have volunteer career soldiers. I think calling a Gallente Federation immortal soldier a mercenary would be of the highest insult. But, then again, **** the Gallente. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money!

Nephilim is so overdone though. Suits could work but doesn't mean much as anyone can wear a dropsuit but not everyone is in a Replicant body. SOMS? Suited Operation Mercenaries? If that M is mercenary, would there be a different name for full time Gallente soldiers? Legion is ambiguous. "Amarr Empire sends a legion of 20,000 men to re-secure a slave revolt planet." Is that a legion of Legion soldiers or is the legion just made up of soldiers? "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

Parasoms or just SOMS for parasomnia, an intermediate state between sleep and waking. It makes sense in the context of who created the technology. It also works well for acronym creation. State Owned Military Specialist Strategic Operations Memory Simulacrum 2. SIMS for Simulacrum would work well for similar reasons. It is a weak synonym for clone meaning likeness frequently used in the context of immortal beings. It is often used to mean a copy of a copy (implied inferiority). It also works well for acronyms.

Topher Mellen Scott-Mellen Corporation 76	Posted - 2014.05.09 19:44:00 - [54] - Quote I'm going to throw ky original idea from a few months ago into this thread: Why not Effigy? From Wikipedia: "An effigy is a representation of a specific person in the form of sculpture or some other three-dimensional medium. The use of the term is normally restricted to certain contexts in a somewhat arbitrary way: recumbent effigies on tombs are so called, but standing statues of individuals, or busts, are usually not. Likenesses of religious figures in sculpture are not normally called effigies. Effigies are common elements of funerary art, especially as a recumbent effigy (in a lying position) in stone or metal placed on a tomb, or a less permanent "funeral effigy", placed on the coffin in a grand funeral, wearing real clothing. Figures, often caricature in style, that are damaged, destroyed or paraded in order to harm the person represented by magical means, or merely to mock or insult them or their memory are also called effigies. It is common to burn an effigy of a person ("burn in effigy") as an act of protest. The word comes, perhaps via French, from the Latin, meaning "representation", and originally was used in English in the plural onlyGÇöeven a single image was "the effigies of ...". The word occurs in Shakespeare's As You Like It of 1600 (II, vii, 193), though it first appears in 1539. "In effigie" was probably understood as a Latin phrase until the 18th century.[1]" Capsuleers are represented by their ships that they become one with. Dust mercenaries, or dare I say Effigies, are a literal physical representation of the human being they represent. May I also note, unless they are being burned or discarded, Effigies are meant to last the test of time, AKA immortal. Something to think about.

Even if some EVE players have used it as a derogative, I've far more often heard it in affectionate or neutral-casual uses. Plus it's cute. <3 One thing I'd like to place a negative vote on is "Legionaries", "Legionary", or any of variants. Not specific to the game/universe/narrative enough, and in my own, dumb opinion it just doesn't sound cool enough. Supporting Kevall Longstride, CEO of DUST University, for CPM1

If it's other PVP we're pirates, mercenaries, etc. Ground troops don't get special names. There's nothing special about the nature of what we're doing in general. You want a name for what you do? Specialize into piracy and then your a pirate, etc.

Most soldiers, boots on the ground guys, are not 'us.' Just like most pirates, soldiers, miners in EVE are not Capsuleers. Regardless of what "that guy's" profession is, he still needs a name as we can't just call him "that guy." At the moment, we are just "that guy." "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money!

Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens Final Resolution. 1832	Posted - 2014.05.14 16:06:00 - [75] - Quote Alpha 443-6732 wrote: why not legionnaires Doesn't explain what we are that well. Anyone in a Legion, such as the Amarrian Legion, could be considered a Legionnaire. It also is not super iconic and doesn't stand out. "In DUST 514 you play as a Legionnaire" doesn't pop out as "there is clearly something different." "In EVE you play as a Capsuleer" immediately makes it clear that there is something different. That's just my opinion is all. Shadowswipe wrote: Suits. It is classy and will never go out of style. It is what we use on the battlefield. We are professional killers.

You can wear a dropsuit without being one of 'us' though. Surt gods end wrote: Every time I think of the name legion, I think of the "french foreign legion" And it comes off just as intimidating as that name. lol Which is why I think Legionnaire is not a great term. It doesn't set itself outside the realms of our reality very well. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

That being true-ish, Capsuleers are categorized by what they live in. We live in our suits. Maybe go the route of what form we take, like Bio or Biomasses. We are more organic than in-organic, unlike the capsuleers, they are minor biomass in compared with the ships they use. "1500 Biomasses assaulted the production facility today." "1500 Bio Units assaulted the production facility today." Maybe an acronym is warranted. BUs or BMUs. As the without them, they sorta fail the roll off the tongue test above. Still think Suits is the best so far. "We just have to hold out until the Suits show up." "Drop the Suits before we burn in orbit!"

Buster Friently Rosen Association 2366	Posted - 2014.05.14 20:57:00 - [78] - Quote 137H4RGIC wrote: The Dust Bunnies thing was given to us as a derogatory name by EVE Capsuleers as slang. Dust Bunnies referring to the bundles of dust you find on your ceiling fan or places of that nature. It's simple. We just find a derogatory name for them.... What do we know about capsuleers? 1) They are stuck in a sterile field because of fear for contamination, ergo they are stuck in their ship or in their Captains Quarters. 2) They travel in little eggs that fit inside larger ships. 3) They show no signs of physical expertise or prowess. 4) We don't even know if they know how to shoot a gun, or which end shoots the gun... But they do know how to operate turrets. I wanna call'em Eggheads. Or Eggs. What's a word for someone who is frail and cannot connect with the outside world for fear of germs from a skid on a knee? Eggers is the word that you are looking for, and it's commonly used in Eve already.

For example, a Capsuleer is a Capsuleer regardless if they are a miner, a pirate, or a soldier in the Federation. What ever we are, simply calling us Mercenaries doesn't work as groups like Mordu's Legion are by a large normal humans despite being mercenaries themselves. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money!

Have you seen my baseball??

Scrote Schroder The Southern Legion Final Resolution. 112	Posted - 2014.05.16 05:08:00 - [88] - Quote We went through the same naming debacle 15 months back when we created our Corp. It was so hard to find something that was in between too cheesy and too try-hard. Legionnaire is the most logical term and I think that will stick as a reference to a player of EVE: Legion. It kind of makes me think of Captain Planet's 'Planeteers' which is lame. I suppose Capsuleer and Legionnaire are on the same level, and have a nice ring together don't they? I find I refer to my Dust players as Troops, and my EVE players as Pilots to be honest. And then there is Private Shaleen in his entirely separate category :), the man is a beast.
