If they do this again, I WILL win...and the Combat Rifle will be called:

The "CloneWar CombatRifle

If I ever win Nova Knives, I would name them one of the following

1.) Bossa Nova Knives

2.) BK-201 Charged Nova Knives

Heck with it, lets do as many as I can think of

Flaylock: Kaisar's GH0-5T Optimized Flaylock Pistol

SMG: Touhou's "Lunatic" Submachine Gun (I'll give you 1mil ISK if you tell me why it's funny. Bonus ISK for linking a video)

Sniper Rifle: Misaka's "Tokiwadai" Accelerated Railgun

Bolt Pistol: Rick's "2019" Hand Cannon (Bonus points for this one as well)

All I can think of right now.

I like the bk201 reference
I don't know what the touhou one is but if 2019 is a year then it's a blade runner reference.

Still miles better than a generic name like Alex or viktor which sound like they came out of a buzzfeed list for baby names.
more than a million words to choose from or more if you make up your own. People just need to apply some creativity.

You're the only who replied, so I'll send you some ISK for trying.

BK-201 is great right? Pirate

Touhou's "Lunatic" is a reference to a popular scrolling shooter game like Galaga. Except it's literally BULLET HELL. Lunatic is the name of the hardest difficulty level. THIS is what Touhou is like.

Miska's "Tokiwadai" Accelerated Railgun is another anime reference. Misaka is a human "railgun" who uses electricity and some fancy science to throw a coin hard enough to decimate a car. See video

Yes, the Hand Cannon is a Blade Runner reference. Rick is the protagonist.

No it's people who won did not spend all that time to name a weapon after some "cool" word. I could have thought of many "Creative" names but i was not going to name my weapon any of them simple because i wanted my name on it and could not give two fcks whether people are going to be sad that there is not a "Warewolf Laser Rifle" i did not spend 50 hours to put "Warewolf" in front of a weapon name. I know i sound very bitter about this, but i was not all that happy about playing 50 hours of video games in one weekend so thats the reasoning behind it. if youre going to be given the oppurtunity to affect the universe of a work you owe it to the source to give an appropriate name. If youre one of the winners congratulations. However it doesn't change the fact the lot of you have shown you don't have an ounce of creativity. Also the werewolf bit was more for a combat rifle. Also could have been lycanthrope or daywalker. i simply believe if your gonna do something do it right. Never in a million years would I pick autos or lionesse for the name of a weapon because it doesn't sound cool and I'd want to make the most of the occasion. I mean hey if your gonna name it after yourself by all means go ahead you earned it but at least have a cool name. Kalantes sounds fine and it goes along with balacs. Alex doesn't even sound like a name from new Eden. It should have been rejected on the spot for that alone. Out of 3 names if that's the best you can come up with well it kinda speaks for itself. If I was a ccp Member I'd spend all day happily deleteing names like Alex and giving them something more creative. It's nothing personal against him, I don't know the guy. It's just an awful name in this context and doesn't belong. Ccp tells us to think things threw with the names on characters cause you can't go back and change it and no one wants to be stick with mc duck fart as a name for 5 years. Alex is not much better in the grandscheme of things. Like I said it's just a shame you/they didn't give it 15 seconds of thought. Well apart from kalante I guess. Good job to him. I just can't take people seriously who can't even put the smallest ammount of effort into something, especially considering the grinding y'all must have done to win. Why flush it down the drain, the concept goes right over my head. The name is always the most important part. Do it right once and you never have to worry about it again.

Because i don't see the point of picking one out of many just generic words that will make a video game weapon sound cool. Hater's gonna hate. I say congrats to you and all of the winners. I know I had absolutely NO chance at this thing, but I understand the baseline because what was put in place for naming. I am with you Viktor. If I had the skills and time to put 50+ hours (or 24 in the case of the sidearms) to win one of these bad boys, you are damn right I'm going to brag and put my name on it. However, I wonder what they would have done if I had won this thing with my alt. The name? Gitgud Tryhard. Would they have allowed the "Gitgud CR" or the "Tryhard HMG"? and names like gitgud tryhard are exactly the kind everyone hates. its just under bland generic modern day names like alex. i saw in another thread a guy named "characternamewastaken" theres not even any spaces. he should be ashamed. its not hard to make a half way decent name.
