Rename My Arc = Win 250 Million, plus more prizes! Ends 10/17

OK, after 20+ hours reworking my arc "Have a Blap, Blap, Blappy Day Kids!", Arc ID: 2019 for Dr. Aeon's Third Challenge, I have decided it needs a rename. So, I'm offering the following top prize to the person who comes up with the new name I select (or like best if I end up not using any suggested):

[Armageddon : Dam (Superior).50] (retail value current 250 million)

I will also award three:

[Synthetic Nucleolus Exposure.50]

to three other names that I like. They may be runners up or just names that I think are creative.

Additionally, anyone that plays the arc, rates it, and leaves me feedback during this time will be entered in a raffle for 100 million inf. I know a lot of you here would have play it anyways, so this just a little bonus thank you.

- Contest will run now through 10/17 with the winners announced on 10/18

Good idea.

Noooooooooooo

The title of your ARC is perfect as it is right now. It's fun as hell to say and memorable. Just reading the title makes you want to play it and it goes with the story.

Only thing I might tamper with is just so it rolls off the tongue better. Maybe like- "Have a Blap! Blap! Blappity Day!"

Drop the kids change to Blappity, lol.

Anyway I love the original name. Just saying Blap is fun. Blap Blap Blap!

Oh, I wanted to add that the two people that already played it before I announced the contest, but after the reworking of the arc, are automatically entered into the raffle.

Solo'd partway through so far, and left you some feedback.

Here's my title suggestion, if you go the "non-comedy" route: Tears of a Clown.

Pop culture reference + angsty, all in one.

Did the arc on my level 45 tanker, and I honestly really like it. Left you a comment, and rated as such. But I think you should keep the comedy flag on it, because I found it funny.
My new title suggestions are:
Geek Alert! (Because you are rescuing a TV actor, as Percy mentioned in the first mission heh)
and,
Have a Blap! Blap! Blappy! Day! I say to remove the "Kids" because .. its another quote from the enemy dialogues.. (:

[SPOILER]
I like how Bright Angel/Blight Angel was depicted, why she was doing what she did made perfect sense considering how underappreciated she was.

I didn't quite get why Blappy did what she did; she was already very successful, why hook up with the Injustice Legion? (I assume the "mind control" thing was just her feeble excuse.) I think she needs a little more motivation. (I know her description says "She hates everyone" but I think she could use a little more than that.)

I was also quite surprised Blappy wasn't a clown, I guess she was supposed to be a purple dinosaur. I had assumed it was a Krusty the Clown/Sideshow Bob thing. So that kinda messes up my earlier title suggestion.

I think the "Have a Blappy Day" catch phrase was a little underused, only appearing once that I saw (plus the title, of course) ... maybe have a re-run come on the TV at some point where (taped) Blappy gets to say this line?

I am not quite sure how the Nemesis plot in mission 1 fit in, it seems like it was going in a different direction than the whole Injustice Legion plotline in missions 2 through 4. Can they be tied together better somehow?

The Injustice Legion seemed a little too obviously SG inserts; could use a little more development and/or tighter theme, right now they seem more like cameo appearances.

I would've liked to see more of Blappy's shady talent agent, too. That guy really seemed like he should be more involved with these dirty dealings. Maybe he could be either encouraging Bright Angel to get greedy, or he could be one of the people Bright Angel thinks is holding her back.

More title suggestions:
Television Rots the Brain

The Case of the Missing Purple Dinosaur

It's Blappy Time!


Anyway, hope that all helps, and best of luck!

This is probably still too comedy-oriented, but the only thing I can think of is "The Pursuit of Blappiness"

Lol I was just rephrasing your original title If by some odd ball reason I won it's so close to the original title that I couldn't accept a prize with a clear conscience.

Finally played all the way through your yet to be named ARC today. Had started it before but wanted to wait and see your revamp. Very awesome job! Felt bad having to kill ya though, heheh. Probably one of the rare ARCS I would play again.

Really finding it hard to come up with a name apart from the original. Like I mentioned before the original title or the variation of it rock. Nobody is going to forget that title.

That's my humble opinion

Tales from the "Blappy and Kids!" show
The Blappy and Kids show: Behind the Costume
(or Inside the Costume)
Revenge of a kid's show sidekick

Angelic Injustice

How about:

Contract Killers
A Blappy and Friends Special Episode!
A Blappy and Friends Special Event!
Contract Negotiations

Some really great names and ideas. A reminder that today is the last day. I will announce the winners tomorrow.

WN

It's time to announce the winners and the new arcs name. I want to thank all of you that played it, gave feedback and/or suggested new names for the arc. It was a great amount of fun to see the variety of creative names you all came up with.

First the random drawing selected from all the people that played the arc during the time the contest ran. The winner of the 100 million inf:

@Lethal Guardian

Next are the runners up for the naming which each get a [Synthetic Nucleolus Exposure.50] in no special order are:

The Pursuit of Blappiness - DarklordDKL

It's All About Blappy - Konshu

Angelic Injustice - Capa Devans

The title I have picked for the was not suggested, however, the winner was inspirational and the closest. The winner of the [Armageddon : Dam (Superior).50] is:

A Blappy and Friends Special Episode! - CrippI3


The title for the arc is: A Very Special Episode

I wanted to remove Blappy from the title to tone done the silliness factor since the arc is not silly. I did retain the "Comedy" tag though humorous would be a better key word if it was available. Also, the title is a tvtrope which fits perfectly. I also use tvtropes as the name for each mission. I'm really happy with the title.

Thanks again to everyone for all the help and suggestions.

WN

In light of your goals with the ARC it makes sense.

Good title!

But you know the first thing that came to mind when I heard the original title wasn't silly/comedy. The first image that came into my head was you were going to have one really weird day, lol. Only later to find out Blappy was a TV personality.

Good title WN! I was cramming my brain with the likes of "That's Entertainment" and "The Show Must Go On" but couldn't come up with anything that really stuck out. Special Ep works great.

Want to thank Wrong_Number for a few things:

• The effort put into the arc. It is obviously a lot of work
• Being brave enough to throw the arc to wolves for feedback
• Being courteous in the face of criticism and taking at it was meant; constructively
• For the Hami-O that landed in my inbox last night.
