I am going to laugh so hard if WEBIR wins and we have to deal the rest of the quest with people assuming her last name is actually Webir, because the attempt to make it not-a-direct-reference backfires in the face of our known punniness.

I really don't want "Esoteric" to win.

I honestly don't have strong feelings for the Branch name up till now. and I don't actually like any of the names. including the one above.

but 'Intersectional' is horrible enough of a word that I'll vote against it on princable.

I am very tired of reading forced acronyms of Mathilde's name, and suspect I will be significantly more tired of it after reading it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, so I'm changing my Branch Name vote to something that people would genuinely be happy to say aloud:

[X] (BRANCH NAME) The Sunrise Society

Alliteration is pretty.
We're setting up in Karag Nar, Khazalid for Sunrise Mountain.
Sunrises are nice.
Sunrises are magical.
It's easy to make pithy mottos on the spot featuring "New days, new ___"
New days, new ideas. New days, new bonds forged. New days, new Ways(...stones).
That's about it.

It feels like people are focusing too much on the acronym. Warhammer doesn't feel like the sort of world which has an abundance of alphabet soup names; where are the CERNs, the NASAs, the UNESCOs?

The only one I can really think of is the quest only EIC, and in universe there is no pun to that, it's just a reference to something from IRL history.

I don't think anybody in-universe will call it "WEBIR" or "WEBER"; it'll be the World's Edge Branch, like how the Hochland School of Sorcery is, well, that, and not HSS.

Do the joke and own it.
WEBIR is being three steps ahead but no one else is playing yet.

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

That's pretty. I'm willing to go for that above all else. If only it had come in sooner.

I still want KNIGHT, but Sunrise Society has a nice ring to it.

I don't actually think it will be very amusing to read about a misspelled acronym for more than a few times.
