As some of you, well, most of you know, MC is being used as the basis of a video game. Can I get a \/\/007 from all of the sites geeks? Anyway, the game is being created to be the first of a series that is going to fall under the name IUNE (which stands for Infinite Universes Never Ending, and is credited to Copy'N'Paste.) Toryn, the game's acting director, has asked me to come up with a title. In that spirit, I started writing, but at about the time that I had written enough cliche and stupid titles to drive a person mad, it was presented to me by Darth Elmo that I might lift from shoulders the burden of trying to figure out the perfect title and just ask the lot of you. So, the idea is that I enter all the ideas that I've come up with and you guys vote for the ones that you like. During round one of the voting process, everyone will get ten votes. If, however, you cannot find five or even one vote that you like, you may suggest your own title instead and it will be added to the next round of voting. I will include, with certain titles, their reasons and/or explanations.

Two things:
1. Where on earth did you find the time to come up with a list that long?!
2. Once, technically, although she had died several times before coming to this site when I was trying to stop playing her, but the people on the RP didn't quite know what medical science was...

1.I just kept my notepad on my person for a couple days/weeks and wrote stuff down as it came to me... You know, a song would play, someone would say something, I would read something, and BAM! the ideas start hitting me left and write. As you can see, the muse got me good once or twice, but at other times...

2.CPR, baby, resuscitation from the dead...

Bad pun Whilaroo, BAD PUN.
Left and write....
I shouldn't be Tolkien, though.

CnP, leave your Panto lines in the past. They areonly for the enjoyment of the sound techs who had nothing better to do with their time except memorise the script to watch you squirm the next year... Muhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahah... *ahem*

And Whilaroo, she was DEAD, and I mean DEAD, but then they used something called 'magic' (this was on an HP site...). Eh, oh well.

How do explain the sun rising in the morning?

Magic!

The color of the sky?

Magic!

The wonderful taste of pie?

Magic!

Is that your answer to everything?

...Yep!

Sorry abought changing my vote but it's your fault whilaroo.

I love almost all of them Whil, you're making it very hard to narrow it down to just 10.

But, here goes....

17.Death by any other Name (Would a Rose by any other Name Smell as Sweet?)

This is the one that makes me feel the most... emotional. I can't think of any simple phrase or name that has made me think the way I did when I first read this. I don't know how much of the actual name we could use, but I absolutely love that tagline.

23.Prophecy Unwritten
24.The Third Door
25.A Nightmare Not Unwanted
32.Death of Innocence
33.End of Innocence

"Never get too ahead in life, that you forget the simple things, the simple pleasures," he spoke softly, "Don't forget, you'll always have people there to be strong with you, you'll never be alone. And above all, never forget, when the world is crashing down around you, never forget... to smell the roses"
Time passes
"He was wrong," the now grown boy thought to himself, "They weren't there for me... There was no one there to hold me up, to keep me going... No one but myself."

I would like to see this somewhere... Maybe a tagline for one of the characters...

Aw... That didn't work did it? Since I'm the "director"(although, I'm not quite sure how it happened), do I get extra votes?

Also, some of the things we need to take into account... The name should reflect the game, at least a little bit... So, anything that has to do with the player influencing the story shouldn't be in it, as the story will be entirely preset.

As Grand Director of our fair game, you do have final say and, should you choose to exercise your prerogative, can have as many votes as you wish. I was going to vote myself, but now I'm not sure if that will be necessary... I hadn't realized that you really liked this stuff that much... Should you desire me to vote, or if there is anyone else on the site interested in voting upon 'the name of the game', please either tell me or do so, respectively, now. Otherwise, the next round of voting shall begin. The rules of said round to be specified ere it begins...

Concerning your fears on the subject of the preset story, I totally agree that the story shall be preset, but as far as I know, the only people playing the game will either be those involved in its creation or the people who wrote the original characters... This taken into consideration, the title being of a self-created nature would have a more poetic meaning. In other words, it would be indicative of the actual designers of the game. Also, as far as I know, anyone who wishes to put the effort into writing their own characters in the game will not only be allowed but welcomed to do so. I may be misunderstanding, but these were the reasons behind the titles conceptions. Well, that and some of them just sounded cool at the time... However, I do agree that the ending title must have something, remotely, to do with the game itself... But being the writers... heh, heh, we could 'write in' whatever connection to the title that we wish. Of course, that will only be necessary if the title chosen is incredibly deviant from the story itself, which I doubt...

i have to admit I'm a bit perturbed that you get to pull the directer card to get more votes it took me a long time to settle on ten lol no really I'm fine with it.
