Pre-Faction 3 Reveal Faction Name Suggestions Thread

Hey guys,

At some point this week, we'd love to debut the third faction. However, we're still debating the three or four names we'd like to present to you as the naming options. Would you like to help us? We're open to any and all ideas.

Here's the backstory we'll reveal to help you, help us.

And here's a description for this faction:

Obviously, this faction's name has to somehow represent their idea of a robotic utopia. In fact, "Utopia" was one of our faction name choices. It comes across a little bland, though, yeah? It'd be neat to find a few that really marry the idea of machine and perfection together. Something like, say, Synchronicity, maybe?

FIRE AWAY.

FROM HIS WHAT!?

EDIT: No this is not a Faction name suggestion.

EDIT2: Might we be able to glean some inspiration from this page?

The forum profanity filter kicked in.

You don't want to know what it bleeped out.

I dont get it we need to sugget a faction name,leader name and stuff?

What's the opposite of an alloy? Pure metal? Refined metal? Maybe the Refinery as faction name? Or Crucible? Crucible would be awesome as part of the leader name.

Or perhaps isotope? Like isolation? Maybe just iso?

Perfecta a Machina (Perfection from the Machine)

How about, instead of metal / alloy, try element / compound?

Use element to signify nature and compound to signify the machines? Then use Compound as part of the faction name?

Just extrapolating on the above.

I like the idea of a name which — from their own perspective — reflects their ideals (no faction intentionally sees itself as the bad guys, right?), one which is ultimately about togetherness. One word that comes to mind from this is The Conjunction.

Shangri-la

Wait, hold on, hold on.

"What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machine..."

Surely we need to come up with a name that pays homage to TA's Core?

Another way of thinking about them is in terms of their central tenets of faith, wherein they express their genuine and adamant beliefs concerning machine supremacy. For this angle I'd say something like The Doctrine might fit.

Am I the only one that read that backstory in John Patrick Lowrie's voice?

Possible synonyms for Core that might fit:

Nucleus, Kernel, Crux, Substance, Fundamental

Faction Name: Paradigm Eden, cause that's basically their goal.
Name of the Commander: Axiom 0 <---that's a zero, he's basically in the center of it.

Or switch any term with "Core" to pay homage to TA.

I like Nucleus, maybe Kernel, the rest sound pretentious.

Another word that comes to mind is the latin for ‘over’ (as in, having control over), which is Supra.

Could actually just be "Eromites". I find it an amusing play on "Luddite". Luddites (thought to be named after Ned Ludd) smashed technology because they feared change.

Eromites, named after Erom, smash biology because they fear change.

Too obscure?

"Foundation".

From their perspective, they are building a foundation for the perfect robot society. Everyone knows you can't build a perfect robot society on a foundation of mooshy, cog-clogging biology. It's a public service, really. No need to thank them.

"Oblivion", thats a word that means total annihilation
