In an ideal world this would be an options page in game but due to the nature of Modding I guess it would have to be before load via JSGME...

To start, I mean no offence to anyone or their suggestions for names. Now, here are my thoughts on the matter.

1. The name should not be silly. I am sorry folks, but too many hours of hard work has been put in by too many good people. And, sadly I have seen several silly names proposed(however, I do not consider names with skunk in it to be silly, they are legitimate).

2. The name should have nothing to do with an individual modder. I understand TDW has put an immense amount of work into compiling this(just look at the readme files for my mods, I know how hard it is to combine mods and make them work), and I know that a good proportion of the mega mod is his work. But, many people have put their sweat, blood, and maybe tears into this, and they should all be honored equally.

3. It should have absolutely nothing to do with GWX. It should not look like it, sound like it, taste like it, or smell like it. This seems odd to some folks, but it is out of respect for those who toiled before me I say this. To those who understand my position I salute you.:salute:

4. It should have nothing to do with fixing problems that should have been addressed in the first place. AKA calling it any sort of patch. This is not a patch folks, this is a legitimate mega/supermod. Perhaps not made by conventional means, but a mega mod nonetheless.

Well, those are my thoughts on it. But, in hind sight, I might have only made things more difficult.:haha:

TDW, the final decision rests with you. Gott sei mit ihnen.

You could even use 'MMX' as the shortend version which keeps it in the theme of 'GWX' whilst maintaining a difference. :smug:

That is a horrible idea and a slap in the face to the GWX team.

As well as to every non-GWX person or team who has ever made a supermod, including TheDarkWraith himself.

Alexander! It is similar to "Illness"-... mod_v.3.8... mod_v.3.9.... patch_1, patch_2.....!!! It is necessary to do with it something! :DL:DL:DL

It's my thought, that Modders in general, do not want to be like somebody else, they want to be themselves. To ask a modder to "be like (insert whatever name here)" is in many respects, an insult to their ability and creativity.
