C3CDG:

Blood and Guts
Blood On the Grass
Muddy Waters
Clash of the Titans
Pangea Eruptus
Civ Powers
Dawn of Destruction (my late addition )
Eve of Destruction (Beta's addition)
Masters of War (Aqua's addition)

Snoopy369:
Beta: Eve of Destruction
Paddy:
Conqueror:
Aqualung: Masters of War
Scaeva:

[Paddy]

I have sent word to the Lord of Mongol

we will gather and discuss, and send you word soon

blood oath we will

[Beta]

I am going to vote for Snoopy's Dawn of Destruction - with a slight mod. This reminded me of a tune from the distant past. Some of you may recall the hippy protest song, Eve Of Destruction. I think Dylan sang it, along with others. P.F. Sloan wrote it.

The chorus is:

But you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on
The Eve of Destruction

So that's my vote for a game name. Eve of Destruction.

And here are the full lyrics. Sort of like promotional advertising for the name. (The one drawback was that this was going to be next sig line. Oh well - back to Shakespeare...)

Eve Of Destruction

(P.F. Sloan)
The eastern world
It is explodin'
Violence flaring, bullets loading
You're old enough to kill
But not for votin'
You don't believe in war
Then what's that gun you're totin'
When even the Jordan River has bodies floating
But you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on
The Eve of Destruction
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
Can't you feel the fear that I feel today
If the button i's pushed there's no running away
There'll be no one to save
With the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy
It's bound to scare you boy
But you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on
The Eve of Destruction
My blood's so mad
Feels like coagulating
And I'm just sitting here
Contemplating
I can't change the truth
It has no regulation
A handful of senators
Won't pass legislation
And marchers alone
Can't bring integration
When human respect
Is disintegrating
This whole damn world
Is too frustrating
But you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on
The Eve of Destruction
Think of all the hate
There is in Red China
Then take a look around
To Selma, Alabama
You might leave here
For four days in space
But when you return
It's the same bloody place
The beating of the drums
And the pride and discgrace
You can bury yout dead
But don't hleave a trace
And hate your next-door-neighbor
But don't forget to say grace
But you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on
The Eve of Destruction
Yeah, you don't believe we're on
The Eve of Destruction

[Beta]

Second place vote to Pangaea Eruptus.

Eve Of Destruction. I think Dylan sang it,

Actually, I'm not sure he did.....it was a hit for a guy called Barry McGuire. But the ones that Dylan actually wrote - Gates of Eden, Chimes of Freedom, and Masters of War - are all better

[Aqualung71]

And so my vote goes to Masters of War

As will yours when you read these lyrics that describe all of us in this game perfectly



Masters of War - Bob Dylan 1963

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

[snoopy369]

Nice one Aqualung ... I am tempted to go with yours at the moment Will have to see what the 'peeps say.

[Beta]

Aqua.. Tough choices.

[Solomwi]

Aqualung... you know I'm going to back a Dylan-influenced name. Masters of War

Btw, got "Eve of Destruction" playing right now. Good song. "Masters of War" is up next.

[Beta]

Snoop - may I suggest from this thread that you extract say - the top 3 or 4 proposals. And then put those to a poll where everyone involved can vote.

[snoopy369]

Done. Everyone can vote in it not just captains, it's a real poll.
