Name change NMBR ; Input please of all interested!


Lets put it this way I will run down the network and see what everybody thinks and wether official communication has progressed beyond a point of no return. If not that we still can change the name BUT only this week and only when the new name is launched together with the new website that one volunteer is building now. After that we have to stay with NMBR.

One more thing. IF we chance name then EVERYBODY needs to discard to old name and only use the new name. And even correct persons that still use the old name. The transition must be sharp and clean. Otherwise we'll end up with a mess

So INPUT please ! Every goes as long as you examplain why you think the new name fits the system better.

First suggestions

WMBR = Wind dependent Measurement Based Ratings

Spartacus = because Spartacus was a gladiator and Romen gladiators never fought another gladiator with the same armaments. Romans thought it to be very interesting to see which one of two different fighter won. And in addition to that Romans threw monolithic religious messianic (OD sailors ?) persons for the lions to see how long they last outside of their protective environment On the other hand Spartacus lost the uprising against the establishment and maybe that is not a good starting point for NMBR

Hero = after the 2004 martial arts movie, because it tries to pacify the eternal wars between rating system and unite all open class catsailing under one banner and have all speak the same language as the real life emporer Chin, that was depicted in the movie, did after uniting the all the tribes. "all under one heaven". The name China comes from his name.

....

Your turn now !
