Hi All!

Jreengus Occurred
(though this is a very inside joke, anyone who hops in a month from now will never understand it...
or looking at from another angle, this by itself will be legend a year from now!   )
Dwarven Tales
The Dining Room Floor

Urist Storyteller's Dwarven Tales
Tales of Dwarves
3d vote against Jreengus - it's funny but too stupid for a real name IMO.

[Jreengus]

are they allowed to vote against something? i mean surely voting against something is the same as voting for everything else so voting against a name is like voting for n-1 names (Where n=number of names)

I vote for Story Stockpile. It describes the site very well, it sounds nice because it has an alliteration and everything and is just DF-esque.

I use the second vote against Jreengus Occurred, it just doesn't sound like a title at all. (Jreengus alone would be a lot better)

3rd vote goes to "Tacticus, a case study", for being right in a very twisted kind of way.

It was a thing Toady said about kobolds talking about history.

From Dev log:

quote:04/23/2008: Continuing on with the same sorts of things. Right now it picks one of the combatants' languages to name their wars and battles. Ideally it would let them both name each event, but while it's choosing one, I guess it should go with whichever group can actually speak sensibly. You can view the wars/battles/important duels in a nested way, but when kobolds are involved, it just says things like "Shroler began." and "Jreengus occurred."

1. Story Stockpile. I just like it. Very much DF-esque.

2. Jreengus occurred. Come on, DF is all about those little unintentional things. Thats part of why Ironblood is so awesome.

3. Chronicles of failure. Loosing is fun!

And although it isn't here, I would have voted for "The Breakfast of Champions."

Aw, I never saw this while voting was going on, and it doesn't look like very many people voted.  Can't you open it for another week?  I think Jreengus Occurred sounds terrible!  Yes, there are a lot of funny little inside jokes on this site, but does the name of a WIKI have to be one of them?  

It seems like most of the people who voted were in on the joke, but I'd be willing to bet that most of the people on the site, and DEFINITELY most of the people who use the wiki, will not be.  (I was unbelievably confused until I saw the explanatory post, and am a bit irked that a small inside joke takes precedence over a name that makes sense and sounds good.)  You'll be answering questions for the rest of forever on that one, and it will confuse a thousand times more people than it will ever entertain.

In case you open it back up, my votes go to:
1. The Dwarven Archives: Tales of Empire and Loss
2. Urist Tomescribed's Tales of Failed Empires
3. Dodok's Compendium of Dwarven Lore and History

These all sound good, make sense, and give a good idea of what you're about to read.  Come on, guys, be sensible about this...
