I just want to mention an insane idea I just had: how about inventing a new name for cRPG? I find the name actually a little bit clumsy to pronounce, and it doesn't sound very well. Something more "atmospheric" perhaps, which can be abbreviated better? Like "The Rise of Warriors" (really bad example, 5 sec. thinking time) which would be abbreviated "Trow". Easier to pronounce, and the full name sounds more epic. (Or in this case, it tries harder to sound epic).

Just an idea, please don't kill me folks!

I actually agree here too. CRPG as a name makes absolutely no sense, even to someoen like myself whose been playing for a year, i still cannot fancy a guess as to what the C means, much less a player whose just looking around at mods. Take for example the Europe 1200 AD mod, or Mount and Gladius, seeing those names you know what the mod is and what its probabbly about. The name CRPG is not very intuitive at all.  Also mount and blade warband, or any combination of thsoe words is not in teh title, so its not always immediatly obvoius what game the mod is for, unless your specifically looking at warband mods. RPG is a pretty generic term not that its a bad one, but it could refer to alot of games. If you see a name like Mount and Gladius around you get the idea that its a mount and blade warband mod. Not to mention "CRPG" isnt too catchy or attractive in general.

By the way is the CRPG abbreviation actually written out anywhere, id like to know what it means.

I heard it was just "Character RPG" basically....the C standing for Character?

Not sure....

It should be called something epic and harsh like - Trails of Ascension
Because you start and you're shit and you stay shit for a long time until you ascend to decent, then someday maybe good :)

But it really would be weird if the name changed at this point....

In the original post on the TW forums IIRC it was stated that the "c" was for character, as in persistent characters in the mod (the main selling point of cRPG back then). But who knows, that was back in the age of myth, and the mod has changed since then.

Back to the main topic: I agree with Teeth. Playing this mod since release has always been about absurdity and fanciful role playing for me. Sure strat might add a new layer of features and game play but cRPG isn't a platform for strat, strat is just another game mode in cRPG. Keeping this in mind the felt hat design (maybe simplified), in my opinion, embodies the nature of cRPG: Al_Adin/Ja_Far, peasant wars, a dev team that enjoys playing the mod as much as the community, and fun.

We have a dev team that enjoys shenanigans as much as anyone else, and it seems wrong to me that cRPG should be represented by something high-intensity/super-serious/gritty(/sexy/beautiful).

People play games because they're fun, cRPG's logo should represent the enjoyable aspects of playing.

EDIT: And please don't change the name of the mod to some over-hyped, melodramatic, cliche shit. cRPG is quirky and strangely unique.

Yeah, I can't help but agree.  I'll mess around with it a little later and see if I can't make it a little more distinct.

For the record Teeh...I have supported Thovex's logo from the beginning...

It's not about "fun" or not - it's about it being well designed. 
Mine is (hopefully) well designed and serious toned.  Thovex's is well designed and more jovial in tone. 

I fully support Thovex's logo and would be happy if it won.
For the record. I'm sorry if it might have sounded like I didn't appreciate your logo, which I really do. It's just that your ass is probably still sore from Bjord's willing tongue.

Here mine!
