NO site!

Well, I for one could contribute pics of my terrain, structures and armies. I've got pics of an entire 4'x8' Camp Currie board I've built for demo purposes (get it? Boot camp for new players lol) as well as a company of LAMI painted up. :)
 
Recommendations on a url for such a site?

Paralleling the good relationship that the Evocommand site has with Mongoose, just run whatever name by MGP of course and make sure they have no issues.

Suggested name could be

SSTCommand.com
STCommand.com
onthebounce.net :wink:
SSTgame.net
SSTminis.com
SSTminiatures.com

etc. etc. etc.
 
ComeOnYouApes.net
YouWannaLiveForever.com
IAlwaysGetTheShakesBeforeADrop.com
WarOfTheSpecies.com
TenLashes.com

:lol:

Actually, I vote for SSTCommand.com.
 
SSTcommnand gets my vote. If you say starship troopers to most people they will know it. Say war of the species and you get WTF?

I like this one, but yeah, SSTCommand would probably work better.
I like the WarOfTheSpecies.com suggestion as well. I don't want to do something to faction specific and that's generic enough. Still open to other suggestions though.

But it leads to conversation. SST isn't the most known acronym either.
 
StarshipTroopersCommand.com

It obeys the golden rule of a logotype: it tells you what it is. Plus what if Mongoose changes the tag line later? If you had registered SSTEvolution you'd be SOL. Starship Troopers is a name that's not changing and the command tells people it's an organization.

I've no problem with that version. It's also better than tagging it with a political name such as "SICON", which really has no canon roots that trace back to Heinlein.
 
Not very recognisable either.

So why StarshipTroopersCommand.com or .whatever. works:

it is recognised as a franchise
is easy to recognise as oppossed to SST or SStroopers
is cannon
is the name of game/rpg/series/movies/book
not picking out one faction
establishes it is a 'group'

Is warofthespecies.com valid?

90% sure, the URL would be fine.

Paladin, while that is not perfect (it's not mentioned in the book per se), those doing internet searches for Starship Troopers info might be linked to it after it is up and running with content. We of course would need to wait for the other 10% to be approved, heh :wink:. I'd say there's nothing wrong at all with "warofthespecies.com".
 
Well who vetoed it? I think it is not very good to be honest, it could be so much more than just a minis or a game site. In fact I think it is really not good, and I am about ten steps higher than that, and god help me if i could get away with it I would curse and blind till dawn about it. Nothing personal against anyone.

msprange confirmed my suspicions of possibly treading on Sony's licensing/ownership of the name. I'd rather avoid any issues pre-emptively.

That makes complete sense, Paladin. The name ties it specifically to Mongoose and isn't competitive. :D
 
That's frustrating, it is a fan site after all, but what do I know about copyright?

WarOfTheSpecies.com seems pretty good but I still vote for SSTCommand.com to keep it the sister site of EvoCommand.com

That would be wonderful, as long as it passes IP muster. Really it should though, due to the word "starship" in the copyright being a single word and not the broken up Star Ship referenced in "SST". SSTCommand is really more like it could be referencing an old Boeing supersonic jetliner concept just as likely, so that could work to its benefit. :wink:

What I'm saying is that "SST" is what we've called it here on the forums. I can't remember anywhere in the canon material or movies or the CGI series where "SST" was used officially.
