If Bling is the official name, I'm not using the official name. "Bling" doesn't describe this magic.dlcs18 wrote:What? Nooo!

Enlighten me, how does this count as bringing down names? Assuming you mean the same as "shooting down", then there's a big difference.
This phrase is only used with theories, where it means that you find inconsistencies or contradictions that make it impossible. The only thing that the above quotes do is strengthen what I've stated in my previous post:
No one is trying to find reasons to eliminate either name to make one the victor - Which is what "bringing down" would mean.Qloof234 wrote:If what this vote is about is the magic's 'accepted' name, we're never going to get anywhere. People won't like it, people won't want it, and more debates might show up like this. In short, an 'accepted' name won't work too well because it won't be accepted by everybody.
And then two more paradoxes - First off, there isn't a debate involving these quotes over the name. The closest thing to it is what Dlcs wrote, but no one responded to it thus it wasn't a debate at all. What Nobody said also isn't a debate. He's saying he doesn't want to use Bling as the name, how does that count as a debate?
The second one; Go read over John's post again:
From that post, we can see that the *sigh*ing at the bottom is reluctance on changing his vote, because what the quote is, which you wrote, seems like a rather forceful way to get people to change to Bling, from my perspective (as being neutral).JohnEmmanuel143 wrote:Emerald has a point about This part:
The question is, does it MATTER what the meaning is?
I voted Bling for the sound, not the translation!
So I might as well transfer my vote to bling,
*sighs*
Doesn't anyone else think that just using our own names for it would work, and in the case that it's used as a huge project with multiple designers, couldn't we say that it's known by many names considering that there's already a red magic spell (Floing)?
Like before, I don't mean any offense to anyone and I'm not trying to be rude.
