Strategy Game Collaboration

Experimental RTS/Space sim Collaborative Coding Project.
The goal is to design a game with structure/settings/balance of Starcraft and scale of Eve Online(i.e. huge space battles, space empires,etc).
Though this wouldn't stop anyone from contributing code/feedback/criticism, i'll be coordinating the project.
All code/ideas should be posted in this and subsequent threads which i'll start as needed.
step #1: We will collaboratively create a name for our project.
Each suggestion must explain why this name fits the project and why its better then any other generic name.

Syntax:5 no change. Pretty average and straightforward batch execution.
Ease:3, assembler is hardest language long-term and short-term despite the relatively easy syntax.
anything takes longer and more complex paths when using asm. Reinventing the wheel in C is straightforward, in Asm
you have to mine the metals, forge them into a wheel shape and employ lots of manual labor. Ease remains at 0.
Speed:20, because anything can be optimized without limits of a language(sometimes up to 30-50 times faster then C): even assembler itself can be peppered with hexcodes for opcodes which don't get translated by the program. Speed is above any language because :they can be replicated in asm and they execute code which is equivalent to assembler. Speed remains the same.
 Libs: Assembler libraries are practically non-existent and require specific assemblers.
I however will change the value to reflect you can use any library from C or any language/interface.12.
Bugs:Should be 0. Its the hardest language to debug and can contain as many bugs as all languages combined.

Why do you insist that the human genetic code is "sacred" or "taboo"? It is a chemical process and nothing more. For that matter -we- are chemical processes and nothing more. If you deny yourself a useful tool simply because it reminds you uncomfortably of your mortality, you have uselessly and pointlessly crippled yourself.
