Naming convention (What do we call new and old poe?)

By Marinealver, in X-Wing

Reminds me about 1Haley 2Haley 3Haley, Denegra eDenegra etc

Poe and Superpoe

Four pages and no one has thought to call PS 8 "Slow Poe"?

THAT POSTS DESERVES A MONSTER LIKE BUTTON!

Sloe Poe vs SuperPoe. Sounds about right. Make it so.

Rebellion Poe / Resistance Poe

Ah, so Poe started piloting stuff when he was, like, 5? Makes sense. (Not that a certain someone else didn't do exactly that).

1 Poe

2 Poe

Red Poe

Blue Poe

I really like Poe and Pro.

Well, What will we call the new falcon title, the new han, and the new chewie?

Those could be another thread, (after the cards have been spoiled). ;)

  • Han Classic & TFA
  • Old & New Chewie
  • Evade & Hero Falcon
  • Rebel & Resistance YT

Well it is going to be some time before Heroes comes out so we have time to start hammering down the naming convention by the time it all reaches Vassal (assuming the dials are the same).

I'll mix that in as a counterpart to pro (PS 9) ^_^

I guess it's Dead Han and PO'd Chewie for the new ones.

Too soon?

I say we just assume Poe 2.0 is the real Poe, and PS8 Poe was just the rough draft. (Yeah, I know, not happening, as it would force people to buy the new set instead of using a Poe they already paid for, so don't take this as a serious suggestion.)

Verbally I would just call them 8 Poe and 9 Poe. Why be wordy? It just slows things down. Less words are always good.

Every time I hear/read his name I hear the lyrical savants of NWA screaming "$%&@ tha Poe-lice!"

Then imagine these hard core rapper fellas with their big clothes and clocks all bouncing around a gaming table, rolling dice and busting fools with their 12 gauges and their nines.

Poe 8 & Poe 9 (possibly too generic)

Poe 8 & Poe 9 (possibly too generic)

This.

That's what I am getting a lot. Unless someone wants to make a straw poll counting up the threads seems to be the popular consensus. Although I do like 8oe "Boe" & 9oe "Poe" Then again Slow Poe and Pro also a really good name for the two with the PS8 most likely becoming the unpopular one.

New Poe is R5-Poe9. Not sure where that leaves old Poe though.

Po-Poe?

Preparing the next version of the vassal module (5.7.3), I went with:

Poe Dameron

Poe Dameron 2

I thought about naming the 2nd one; Poe Dameron TFA, but that might get unintuitive once multiples come from other sources. Order of appearance, that's simple enough.

PS8 Poe is obviously LoPoe

old Solo is Obviously Han Yolo

new Chewbaca is Newbaca

new Maarek is Maarked for Destruction

OlPoe and NuPoe or 8 Poe and 9 Poe. Virtually everything else is trying way too hard to be cute or requires an explanation as to what you mean, e.g. "Pro".

"I was flying Pro..."

"Who?"

"9 Poe."

"Oh."

Why not skip the confusing part?

7-Poe (PS 8 Poe w/ -Adaptability)

8-Poe

9-Poe

10-Poe (PS 8 Poe w/ VI)

11-Poe (PS 9 Poe w/ VI)

Very easy, no need to overcomplicate these things

I think the 8oe and 9oe is growing on me, not for Vassal or Squad Builders, but fine for the forum. IRL, I'll use way too many words and never shorten it this much...

7-Poe (PS 8 Poe w/ -Adaptability)

8-Poe

9-Poe

10-Poe (PS 8 Poe w/ VI)

11-Poe (PS 9 Poe w/ VI)

Very easy, no need to overcomplicate these things

We only need to name the card not the card combinations. Poe 7 is just Poe 8 w/ adaptability. Poe 8 w/adaptability is not the same as Poe 9.

I think the 8oe and 9oe is growing on me, not for Vassal or Squad Builders, but fine for the forum. IRL, I'll use way too many words and never shorten it this much...

Sure, I mean squadron builders don't use TAP for the TIE Adv. Prototype. Still as an option I guess Poe Dameron and Poe Dameron 2 could be put in as the Vassal designations.

I like Po8 and Po9.

PP-8 and PP-9

Oops-Poe

Sloe-Poe

And moments after decrying cutesy names, I figured out old Poe's vanity license plate: POE8RY.

Well again the highest is count goes to Poe-8 and Poe-9. I'll highlight that unless someone wants to straw pool and something else gets selected.
