Tactic Naming Inspiration

Some of you (Notely Buxton ) go to great extremes to create names for a tactic once you have created them, so how do you name your tactics?

And here is a list of sites to use which generate some weird names for those of you who lack inspiration

I'm currently playing as Scarborough a.k.a the Seadogs.

My inspired names are

Doggy Style Home and Doggy Style Away

Not that I've got a one track mind or anything

It was your post in the other thread that let me to thinking

I know, but I didn't think you'd go to those lengths to give me some ideas

Ha ha ha....I didn't think he'd take it seriously too

Nah these come in handy for all games I play when stook for names

I've looked at some of them..some good..some are really cute..imagining naming a tactic Aphrodite...now Shakti is not bad, norse names are a bit overdone..i'll keep forgetting how to spell the mayan ones LOL.

Looks like this may be fun..need to think of a theme...Gods aint too cool...maybe the zebra tactic ...or how bout this I'll call my developing tactics the Amoeba series....jeez I really need to get a life!

Didn;t mean it in a bad way ...i just seriously need some sleep time.

when i get the tactic im working to work.... it will be named the Hooniebagoonie

I generally name my tactic after the way it plays, at the moment my tactic is called Enigma, as sometimes i will spank the likes of Chelsea 4-0 and others i will lose 3-0 to Wigan,

Well I'm currently going for:

Dominatus : rule, mastery, tyranny, domination

Need something to reflect the power of the 352 in the middle of the park.

Oh no, I've just realised....I am the geek I said I wasn't the other day

My tactic name is The badmannah which means the giant

And my name is the god called Aisha Qandisha which means sexual activity and i am from morroco

Haha

How is your 3-5-2 going Bux?

What sort of style play etc you developing?

Played 2 friendlies, I'm using Inter. Won 4-0 away to Hannover and just drew 1-1 away to Bolton and really should of won that.

I've already had a re-think on what I want though (and the name has changed already too ). My aim is for a counter-attacking tactic based around a back 3 and wide men with Barrows.

From what I saw in the 2 friendlies I'm reasonably happy with how the defenders and barrowed wingers play, it's getting the rest of it set up to best suit the CA style.

What's your new name i can pick one for you i will root through for something which relates to counter attack

It's called Venom. Think people should be able to figure that one out

I'll just up this so it doesn't get lost.

My tactics, since CM4, have all been creative euphamisms for the female genitalia.

I fondly remember how 'Ham Flower' took my Wolves team marching into the premier league elite, and how 'Sirloin Swing Doors' rescued my Liverpool team from the AI-cracked 'Flangeburger' mid-season.

I'm currently using a variation of a tactic discussed by Cleon in another thread that I have tentatively called 'Doner, all meat no salad'.

LOL ..

me Flair System + Formation + (H)ome; (A)way, cowar(D), cra(Z)y .

Never changed since .. erm.. CM3 ^^

I always name my tactics after snake names, I've had the taipan, the red-bellied black, tiger snake, fierce snake, coral snake, swamp python (a slow long-ball tactic), cobra obviously. Although the best and longest lived was probably the worst name, the carpet snake. It was a fancy 343 with fm05, took Darlington to the glittering heights.

If you rename a tactic, do the players think it is another tactic and need time to get comfortable with it again? Or does name-changing have no effect at all?

At the moment my tactic is called "GO", just as a working title. Before it was always "Formation Team Home/Away", this is the first one that got a new name. When I have completed making this tactic work, it will receive a new name.

my managers name is

amras nenharma (marcel scheffer)

i manage

finwe telemmaite (nottm forest)

and i have got

mablung numenesse (bad tactics)

currently top of championship and playing like an elf

Need to up so it doesnt get deleted.

i just call my best tactic "the one" and my best game save also "the one" problem is i always find a better tactic or a better save game to play

Epic bump .
