Operation Audacious Phoenix

@Kim I have to say, 'Operation RP Storm' has me in traumatic flashbacks to Zombie Characters

Perhaps you could make an epic week contest for pin/patch/whatever designs. Pick a few favorites and then have the community vote and see how much interest this draws?

Having done a little research... This does, in fact, look quite possible.

OPERATION WALRUS THUNDER

I think it's a bit late for me to change the Epic Week contests at this point, but maybe in future!

Operation Echo Orp???

I very literally lolled.

I've been daydreaming a lot about "Operation Circuit Gryphon" or "Operation Flaming Walrus" or "Operation Echo Orp" and the accompanying mission patches we could have made for backers

Of those three, I think Circuit Gryphon would make the best patch, but like saying Echo Orp most.

I like Circuit Gryphon myself.

After floating these ideas to some navy friends, I was roundly convinced that Circuit Gryphon is the name of an organization; the elite coding teams of the RPR (haaa I wish) or an order of mages who spin more of the world of the RPR into existence, and that Echo Orp and Walrus Thunder were names of Ops such an org would do. I kiiind of like this idea. It might have to be "canon"

Okay. I think I've got the one I want.

Operation Audacious Phoenix.

Audacious means...

• showing a willingness to take surprisingly bold risks.
• intrepidly daring
• adventurous
• recklessly bold
• rash
• marked by originality and verve

This is very much how I feel about this rebuild. It scares the heck out of me. It excites me to distraction. It is easily the craziest idea I've ever undertaken with the RPR and yet the payoff can be so very big for the whole community.

And phoenix, because this is a mythical creature of which there is generally only one, and every century (in our case, decade) or so it remakes itself, becomes something completely refreshed, new, strong and vibrant, and yet is still recognizeably the same bird. The RPR is renewing and modernizing itself, making everything about it stronger, and yet recognizeably still the same site and community.

Also, I think it will be a kick-ass mission patch.

The order of the Circuit Gryphon undertakes Operation Audacious Phoenix. Let's do this thing.

I think this has to be the best thing I've read today.

What an exciting project!
'Tis a fitting name.

I think I still have my trusty bug hunting net should it ever be of use again in the future!

RPR 2: Electric Boogaloo.

No seriously

RPR: Epic Edition

Hellz to the yeah.

Love it o/

Hahah, I think honestly the Electric Boogaloo suggestion is the one that made me chuckle the most in this thread, though there have been some pretty fantastically witty suggestions.
