V12 Name Change? How about . . .

I almost didn't want to post this, because quite honestly I'm personally waffling between thinking it sounds sappy or cool. And while I doubt public sentiment will alter anytime soon, I also don't like to feel like I'm riding the coattails of a tragic event, especially one of the magnitude of the recent attacks on my country.

However, one possibility that you may want to consider is Liberty Engine. Not only does it liberate you from having to deal with the V12 name change, and liberate us budding developers from most of the hard work of creating an engine from scratch, but it is also built on the liberty we have enjoyed as Americans that allowed my countrymen to put so much talent and effort into one of our favorite pasttimes, and to share their hard work with us aspiring developers.

Any that's my $0.02, and there may have already been a hundred better suggestions, just so long as you stay away from the cheap ones.

How about IL6? (InLine 6) keeps the engine theme and they were powerful engines.

Liberty? Sounds good to me. Because V12 also liberates us from indoor-only FPS games like Quake, Unreal etc.

Hmm... InLine6? Are you a Jeep fan? :)
