New Ministers and all justices (present and former)

GodKing · September 20, 2002, 22:37

If you have not yet named a city, please post below your desire. If you are requesting to rename a specific city, please indicate such.

We currently have (or soon will) the following cities which need names:

Cherbourg
Tyre
New Munich
Uber Island City #2

As we advance into Persia, we will gain more cities.
Plans are in progress to build more settlers, thus even more cities.
French colonies are expected to fall to our culture at any time, thus even more cities.
America shall feel our wrath, MORE CITIES
Greece is week and inferior, MORE CITIES
THE WORLD SHALL BE OURS. WE SHALL NAME ALL THE POPULATION CENTERS. I NEED NAMES PEOPLE. LOTS AND LOTS OF NAMES.

notthereeither

theViking · September 21, 2002, 01:45

Kaupang (an old viking city) is fitting for one of the cities on Uber Island.

Ninot · September 21, 2002, 01:57

three suggestions

Springfield
Shelbyville
Bob

btw, i dont know how many people know this, but many North West Terriroty citizens of Canada did try to name their teritory simply "Bob" after Nunavut became a teritory all in itself.

my father has a tshirt with the ballot with "bob" as an option

of course.... it wasn't called Bob in the end.
but what if it were named Bob? I would proudly be a resident of Bob Canada.

GhengisFarb™ · September 21, 2002, 05:01

I would like to chosse my name based on the city location (River City wouldn't make any sense if the city didn't have a river). Is there any chance I could name New Tyre (that's no the name - just the specific city site)?

Thud · September 21, 2002, 08:57

Some preliminary suggestions:

WhereIsIt?
Arrakeen
Splat
Bleh Monday

Aggie · September 21, 2002, 10:38

I would like the right to rename persopolis. I have no idea what I'll name it, maybe McDonalds since it will have over a billion served with the pyramids, but that name might be pushing it.
Aggie

Epistax · September 21, 2002, 11:14

I do not believe that justices can name cities (or at least they couldn't before). But if there is a surplus of cities and a shortage of names, why not

.

Since I can't predict future cities, I'll list some names by geographic region. Listing a few for each because some people are pissy.

Portland/Freeport/Portsmith for any coastal city.
Balboa/Crown/AltaVista for any city in the mountains.

uh ok thats actually all I can think of. too.. much,.... college!

Reddawg · September 21, 2002, 11:43

I wanna name a city after my hometown, which is a nice namy anyway:
Oak Ridge

GodKing · September 21, 2002, 12:13

Reddawg.....
are you pushing to get the manhattin project built in any specific location by any chance........

Aggie - I think McDonalds is kinda cool for the pyramids.

GF - if you want to rename new tyre, just ask. Lets see what we can do.

Epi - the justices were not a part of the government when the rule to let the government name the cities was created.

Last term when I realized city naming was part of the CP job, I placed city name (existing) and proposed in seperate hats and drew to match. That used up all names that we had, and so far nobody has wanted to take cherbourg. Now with our conquests and expansion, and the fact that many people in term 4 have already named cities... soon I will ask the public. But I wanted any and every minister and other governmental person who can to get their name in first. I hate letting any of our cities keep the name some foreign dog stuck on the place. It is ours, and we should name it.

Reddawg · September 21, 2002, 12:20

GK, ahhhh I see you know what Oak Ridge is all about! Haha, well, I really am from there. It's a nice name for a city though, right??

GodKing · September 21, 2002, 12:30

Reddawg - yep, it works. Any specific city you wish to name, or should I just place it in the hat?

Shiber · September 21, 2002, 14:06

The names Springfield, Oak Ridge, McDonalds in Pyramid-city and notthereeither are great! They're all nice, some are witty and they'd all look awesome on our maps!

OPD · September 21, 2002, 14:40

Yay I forgot about this.

Can I name New Munich as I've always liked the location?

I was thinking of something like Opiadum but perhaps that sounds a bit too much like opium.

Trevman · September 21, 2002, 14:52

How 'bout The City Formally Known As (former city here)?

Ok. I would like to rename New Tyre.

jdjdjd · September 21, 2002, 20:43

I'll take Cherbourg.....

Its a cr@ppy little burg, but hey....

how about Hole in the Wall, like sometimes you call a dive bar.

Let the beer flow in Hole in the Wall, cause nothing else will.

Shiber · September 21, 2002, 20:53

How about Hollywood? That's a cool name. Paradise City is also cool (named after a Guns N' Roses song). And how about Arkham (the Gotham City Asylum)? Kind of grim, but cool too.

Zero · September 22, 2002, 00:00

Some names for future:::

Klondike, (north?)
E-Z Pass (possibly for strategic city)
Calculus (if possible for sci wonder city)
Vallhala (mili wonder city?)
Evil City (ya gotta have evil city)
Penguin City (same reason as above possibly for south)
I.R.S (city with adam smith if possible)
Let-This-be-A-Lesson! (Persepolis I strongly rcommend this one!)

Zero · September 22, 2002, 00:26

more possibilities...

Grow Dammit Grow! (city capped under size 6)
Midget City (city capped under size 6)
Dullsville (city capped under size 6)
The villagers (city capped under size 6)

Metropolis
Gotham City (lage cities)

Ying City
Yang City
Liberty Island (for uber island?)
Vice City~
Nude Beach
I see Dead People
Cape of Uber
Death's Head
Anti-Matter!
Eat at Moe's
Got Milk?

//okay I'm running out of ideas....

D-Day (city renamed when we'll be landing near new continent for amphibious assault)

and each department should be given a city with name
SMC, DIA etc..

Shiber · September 22, 2002, 06:51

Calc II, you've got some great ideas!!

GhengisFarb™ · September 22, 2002, 07:34

For a city with all grassland in it's city radius and not one it has to share it with:

The Big Banana

.......our version of the The Big Apple.

A city we are getting ready to dismantle (I suggest Gordium).....

There It Was

Zero · September 22, 2002, 12:05

thanx shiber, and I know I probably don't have too much say in wat Persepolis will be renamed to but my heart really yearns for "Let-That-Be-a-Lesson!" I just want the statement to be made VERY clear to all the AIs... hee hee

Shiber · September 22, 2002, 12:14

I think it's an excellent choice for a name, but McDonalds (proposed by one of the ministers because Persepolis has the Pyramids which give free granaries) is just slightly better. Sorry.

We'll do that with the next capital we conquer!

Zero · September 22, 2002, 15:14

I agree, i formerly withdraw my proposal for persepolis to be named "Let-that-be-a-lesson". Let's just hope the storing of food in persepolis pyramid isn't half as bad as rat meat in McDonalds....

Tanner321 · September 22, 2002, 15:42

well if we plan on making a city with a name that is threatening, i propose, B.O.H.I.C.A., which stands for Bend Over, Here It Comes Again

Tanner321 · September 22, 2002, 15:43

and in a related note, if we name a city for an amphibious landing, wouldnt Normandy be a better choice

Epistax · September 22, 2002, 15:51

I like the idea of a Yin and Yang city. But I think for the full effect, they would have to be the 2nd and 3rd city of the empire.

Duddha · September 25, 2002, 00:39

El Duderino,...ahh, one day
