I peeked in the ballot box and saw this:

I've already suggested CWFTINCWF (Creeper World 4 That Is Not Creeper World 4) - it has a certain ring to it... ;D
Ok, I checked around the office and here's what each department came up with for the game name.
Marketing people:
"Marketyrion Lannister". They said something about it being high on the scale of possible viral names. That and it was something they had already been calling the game internally since Monday morning when somebody came in and thought it sounded cool.
Art Department:
They ignored me and I had to check back with them several times, but eventually one of them made a suggestion.
They suggested, "Aloof Surrealdom: The Unschedulable Chronicles"
Product Management:
"Really Good Awesome Strategy Game, but also fun for non strategy gamers, Game 4 of N. Vol 1. Episode 1, Version 1.0.0.0.0"
They also gave me 14 i18nized versions of the name and said they should all be shown on the game's title screen.
QA:
One of them said that subtitles had previously caused a blue screen during testing of CW3. Another said it was probably the "colon" and suggested not using a colon in the title. Another suggested that maybe the title would be a good place for some game instructions... since it was otherwise just wasted space on the title screen. So they suggested calling the game, "Click a Menu Button below to Start the Game".
Development:
They suggested "Game 4", then somebody said "Game 3", then somebody else said... "Well no, Game 5". Then they went to the whiteboard and after a while said... "It actually should be called Game 11". Then they shortened it to "G11", then just "11". Then one of them said something about "hex not dec" and said just call it "B". After that they all immediately started changing the source to reflect the new name "B". Later they said we could easily change it before shipping, so long as the new name was one byte in size.

I think you just failed a 'spot joke' check or something.
My first guess would be a simple "whatever the dot things end up getting called Wars"
Or maybe something to reflect how you're apparently on some kind of quest throughout the galaxy to escape or destroy them. Maybe "Galaxy Quest."
And I know stars haven't been mentioned, but you seem to be in mostly stellar space, so maybe "Stellar Wars"
Then again, with the way ships are working, you might end up crafting alot of stuff, so maybe "Stellar Craft" would work better. Or maybe combine the Galaxy and Stellar part and go with "Galaxy of Stellar Craft" or "Stellar Wars Galaxy"
Then again, the ships are a rather big deal... so maybe "Warship".
I rather like "Warship".
In CW we were playing against the creeper on a world. In CW3 a 'world' could also consist of multiple rocks in space. Since we're playing against particles on a world (using the CW3 defenition) the game should be called 'Particle World'. However "Really Good Awesome Strategy Game, but also fun for non strategy gamers, Game 4 of N. Vol 1. Episode 1, Version 1.0.0.0.0" would just be fine.
names!!!
ok now that we have the official names.we can now vote.
voting rules:you can go of of the most picked name,you can vote as much as you want.
voting will end at the signal of virgilaw(if that ok with you) when the game is about to launch.
the names are: marketyrion lannister, Aloof Surrealdom: The Unschedulable Chronicles ,Really Good Awesome Strategy Game, but also fun for non strategy gamers, Game 4 of N. Vol 1. Episode 1, Version 1.0.0.0.0 , Click a Menu Button below to Start the Game ,B ,and from michionlion: warship!!!! so git your vote on
I say warship and Aloof Surrealdom: The Unschedulable Chronicles
Space Balls
I... don't think that this will end with anything, since V has final say and probably has a name in mind already. The reason I liked "Warship" (I didn't come up with it, that was Taikei no Yuurei) was that it was simple, and yet also descriptive, and also not super cheap sounding (sorry... but it's true) like 'Creeper World'.
Other Bad Stuff World
I LOVE
WARSHIP!!!!!!!!!!

We Are The Dots. You Will Be Annihilated. Existence Is Futile.
Or, alternately, I Am The Bad Dot. I Create Myself.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
You just have to recolor the particles and bog red and it's a perfect match.
The creeper possessed all the tomatoes!!!! And now they're out to get us!!!!!

Which leaves one question: What are we?
Space... blueberries?
I was thinking "Revenge of the Mountain Goats: Episode 1 The First Attack". I mean we all know that the true enemy in this game will be mountain goats and the particles are just one of there crazy inventions for universal domination.
hay creepercard.I'm new to!!
welcome to the fourms!!! :D
and right what are we?
pluss I still think warship will win

I always knew those mountain goats were waiting for the right time to strike. Good thing I have my anti-mountain goat bunker ready for action!
Game 4 is a good name in my opinion. :3

Oh, I take it back. ::)
On Topic: Hey, V, how´s "B" coming along? As a fellow self-declared codemonkey, I heartily empathize with your Coding Department. As long as it´s not the nondescript "warship" title, because let´s face it: Who needs more than one byte to name a game? "Z" proved it can be done. Be member of a proud traiditon. :D
I think that the name should have at least some link to Creep World because the creeper world series has gained so many fan that if there is a gap is name then many of them might not even know about it. Something along the lines of Creeper Space or something that keeps some link to the old games, even if it just in name alone that might be enough to get people to try it.
the fun is that now we Worship the Warship ;)

No, the English language has rules, complicated though they are. You aren't following them anymore. Besides, if you're going to go down that slippery slope, why not go all the way to "ABDEEHHLOSSTUY" -- which, by the way, is now my next suggestion for the game's name. :)

You guys are just being silly.
It's definately gonna be 'Revenge of the Mountain Goats: Episode 1 The First Attack'.
Jeff Minter already set the precedent with Attack of the Mutant Camels, Revenge of the Mutant Camels, Return of the Mutant Camels, Mama Llama, Metagalactic Llamas Battle at the Edge of Time and Sheep in Space.
Google it if you don't believe me!
It's weird that I know these things.

I am sooo gonna make a map and name it that..!
So, apparently the working title is "Particle Fleet". Succinct, descriptive... but it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Allow me to suggest the following near synonyms:
- Mote Fleet
- Glob Armada
- Shard Swarm
- Armada Shred
