Title: Melee: Battlegrounds is dead!
Post by: chadz on February 05, 2016, 03:06:38 pm
Just the name though. (What a clickbait title...)

We have found a new name that we are happy with, but need to sort some things out before we can reveal it to the world.

Once it is revealed, we will also launch the new forum with the new domain.

This is just a heads up  :)



And for whom it may concern: http://forum.melee.org/melee-announcements/new-name-69513/

I appreciate the decision. I always felt it sounded too tiny for an epic game like this.

New name is hidden in op, you just need to solve the puzzle. I have finished stage 2, next stage is kinda tricky.

Is it really obvious aside dumb jokes? I checked it a few times myself but maybe missed something.

Nah it was actually really well done apart from the jokes which gave it away (as intended, no doubt).

That sounds even worse. Melee Battlegrounds atleast has the "Wanna play melee?" for shorts, and MBG is quick to type. MaA is disgusting, or having to say the full name when mentioning the game.

Nah man, you can definitely go around asking your friends "Hey guys, you wanna play some Men?" Totally works.

You never know with Donkey Crew though. It might just be one elaborate ruse on Autobus' part to brainwash us into obedience by Wednesday.

6+ years of having devs (read: chadz and cmp) lead me on with masterful sarcasm and "jokes" has made me paranoid.

It better be good if we are waiting so long...  :D. Maybe it'd be an idea to have a set date, eg. Monthly, or fortnightly or whatever, just so we know we to expect. Of course if u are just waiting till u have enough to present in a Devblog, I suppose u couldn't do that
