codename suggestions for the "e" stable release

Post by Bob the Hamster »

The "d" stable release, dwimmercrafty is so close that I can taste it.

(read about that here: https://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=130579)

Now is a good time for people to suggest codenames for the next release after that.

Naming Rules:

* It should start with the letter "E"
* It should be fun and interesting, whatever that means to you.
* It should not obviously conflict with the name of some other game or software or computery thing
* It should be relatively obscure (googling it shouldn't return a ton of results)

We might do some informal voting in this thread to see what people like, and I might even stick some favorites in a forum poll, but really it will just come down to tmc and I putting our heads together and picking the suggestion that we like best.

if only there was a way to use an image as a codename instead of a short string of text!

KAWAII~~



Eschaton - Immanentize it.

Or how about "Eldercraft" as a counterpoint to "Dwimmercrafty"?
Ostensibly it means something about Elves or High/Ancient magic, but it could simply mean the craft associated with the age and experience of the projects growth, or something.

How about "Ecky Ecky Ecky Ecky Ptang Zooboing *mumble* *mumble*"?

Ekistical - relating to the science of human settlements, including city/town planning and design. This one might be good if there's a map editor overhaul.

Echolocution: The art of communicating via echoes.

Though googling suggests it actually means subconciously adopting the mannerisms of the person you're talking to.

Ealdorman - the chief officer in a district (such as a shire) in Anglo-Saxon England

Or Echinopluteus - the pluteus larva of an echinoid, which is a fancy term for a sea urchin.

These sound like OHR release names.

A lot of different spelling variants on ealdorman in various languages; mostly seen as alderman in English.

Eldercraft seems to be a minecraft mod.

"Ethel dreme" is an extremely obscure phrase and Etheldreme doesn't seem to occur on any word lists.
