Chrono Community Names

1

We were having a lively conversation on a different and unrelated thread on this topic, @KSib, thanks for splitting and merging: See all details below:

TL;DR version from over there:

@Nateninja21 suggested Chronoions, which sparked a lot of discussion.
@Gnuffi had suggested Chronizens, which had positive and negative reviews.
@Gnuffi points out that he had tried Chronians before, also with mixed reviews.
I tried some newer names, such as ChronoKnights, ChronoCrusaders, or ChronoCoineers, which @Gnuffi interpreted perfectly, see below for details.

Due to the heavy Emoji use, I suggested possibly: ChronoMojiers… quite jokingly, of course.

As the discussion has been so lively, I thought it might be good to continue this healthy discussion away from the giveaway thread and so here we are.

Chronies has been what we have been going with, until @Gnuffi used “Chronizens” yesterday:

I disagree, Chronies is so great because it’s also a pun where as Chronizens is just a bastardisation.

I’ll freely admit it’s a personal preference…Crony is just a word that I’ve never been overly fond of.

To each his/her own, I don’t mind anything anyone calls us, as long as we all know what/who we are talking about. :slight_smile:

I like Chronies because of the pun in it too. But I actually thought it was a silly name at first, due to it sounding like we are a shady bunch. Chronizens sounds like it could fly, as long as people get used to it. Chronions/Chronians looks funny, again, not against anyone, it just looks funny to me.

In any case, there are things I was thinking, like:

ChronoKnights (ChronoCnights?, that looks awful, problem is it might exclude the ladies).
ChronoCrusaders (sounds too religious, might offend some people).
ChronoCoineers (I really like this one, but that might just be me, might be considered a serious bastardization/bastardisation).
There are others that have floated through my head before… My mind just won’t shut up!

When the community made up its mind to be call the “Chronies” They seemed to latch on and let no hands of us to pry it off (not that I wanted to)

Well, we are the community… LOL, it’s not like it’s some obscure entity that is completely intangible. feel free to speak your mind and perhaps if you change the minds of enough people, you will then sway the general opinion. :smile:

As language, as culture, as flowing stream, is ever-changing,
Finalization is a human concept, ironically, is ever-fleeting.
We are this community, and this community is us,
Ready to adapt, eager to learn, without any fuss.
Respecting one another, your ideas and opinions,
Will be heard by all of us, we Chrono minions.

A great poem and I 100% agree :+1:
And I think we forgot this is a giveaway topic :frowning_with_open_mouth:
But I guess it’s final we are know as the Chronies. Meeting adjourned.

:thinking:
hmmm…

  • "ChronoCrusaders"; zealous people with repeat attackscomplaints against the holy Coin Shop and few regards

  • "ChronoKnights"; those sworn to valour(their gold&red heart knows only virtue) by the Round Coin, and “whiteishly” protects the promised page and its holy relics

?

Or the ChronoMojiers… Based on how many of these little guys we use. :rofl:

I love your interpretations! This is fantastic.

Any thoughts about ChronoCoineers? :smile:

@Aut0P1ay, sorry for the complete derailment of this thread, though it does occur often. I started a different thread to continue the discussion, perhaps a mod could split/merge/move this section?
