User blog:ZachOWott/Generations Announcement + Winter stuff

Hi!

So, Rater and I have decided after all this generation name changing stuff, that it would be better to go with a generic name (sorry if you were hoping yours would win).

It would be better off if we make the official names the numbers. Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3, Gen 4. I know what you're thinking: "but Zach, this is really boring, I thought you were a super cool creative mastermind" (ok you probably weren't thinking that). But, hear me out.

With regular number names, this is what we get:
 * We already call them these anyway. People rarely use the names that Sway made and mostly use the numbers. We won't have to get used to anything new.
 * No one's gonna get offended by a number. It's just the order that they came in, nothing negative or positive. (If you do get offended by numbers you may want to look into other therapy alternatives)
 * We can all agree on this. We've always called them these either way and I assume we would continue to even with official names. This is just what they are.

So, the official names of the wiki generations are now Generation 1, Generation 2, Generation 3, Generation 4, and Generation 5. If more generations come after, 6, 7, 8, etc.

I'll also add, you can think of these generations as whatever name you want. If Younglings wants to think of gen 1 as boomers, he can. The only thing is this: If you know a name (this goes for everything ever) bothers/offends someone, just don't call them it. If they tell you to stop, stop. If the person didn't know, tell them and hopefully they will stop. Also, if you call a gen what you think of it as, people may be confused cause they just think of it as the numbers so remember that.

Moving on, I wanna mention winter stuff.

We're working on events/competitions for December (Thanksgiving stuff is already out, go check them out) and I will probably start working on them more over break or something idk.

If you've noticed, I haven't been as active recently (but I do check in every day). I've just been kind of burnt out of the wiki recently and trying to focus on school and irl stuff more. I'll probably be back into it and doing a ton of stuff with all the Winter themed things, so look out for that! Thanks!
