Hi friends.
My native language is not English. Help solve the problem with the name of the game.
Please explain the difference between these words and tell me which one is best to use the name of online PvP game. Players will fight with swords.

Generally, this voxel game with the ability to dig. Well, you understand, the game is the successor of Mc.

Which is better:
“Dig Steal Slay”; [DiSS/DSS]
“Dig Steal Kill”; [DiSK/DSK]
“Dig Slay Steal”; [DiSS/DSS]
“Dig Kill Steal”; [DiKS/DKS]
“Steal-n-Kill”;
“Dig-n-Kill”?

you should make it SSDD (which also stands for the more obvious, same shit, different day)

steal slay dig destroy

or something.

3

None as good names…slay kill mean the same thing.

Try Tunnels n’ Travails

4

I quite like that.

5

Some more suggestions as none of the above appealed to me personally.

Spades and Slaughter
Pillage
DigSplat
Burial

6

Till Kill Thrill

7

Yeah, I like that one.

8

I have the name for your game:
ill skill’s kills’n’dig big’s thrill then chill, Phil
Say that 10 times fast!

9

I can’t even say that once…

I think that since you have to even have this poll to try to resolve the ambiguity/tongue-twisterishness of the names, you should drop all of them and go with something completely different.

DIgCraftKill

edit: just realized it makes DICK lol

Thank you all for your answers.
And yet, what is better?
Dig Steal Slay or Dig Steal Kill?
DSS or DSK?

13

I like Dig Steal Kill mainly because Steal and Kill rhyme, making it easier to remember.

14

0.o Since when did that rhyme?

On note, I think you should pick something easier; nobody likes typing : “Hey man you should go try DiSS/DSS”

If those are the two options then go with DSK; DSS is uglier looking and harder to say. Just my opinion of course.

Good Luck

Haha ok I stand corrected. I literally asked a teacher if these words rhymed as I didn’t believe so, and she replied “no”. I still don’t see how a non-strict(imperfect) rhyme helps in a name, since it doesn’t really help the flow of words nor seem catchy to remember. The Bent Ant doesn’t sound near as good as a perfect rhyme; The Bent Dent.

Orange rhymes with Doorhinge.

I could be wrong, maybe it’s actually http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliteration
