What shall be our name (final?)

Gilgamensch · November 6, 2002, 05:35

Dear '*******',

as we were all to drunken (I guess

) to make up our mind on to choose wisely for our name, we have to give it another go.

I hope this time we will be able to decide, otherwise we would need a court-decission :-) (Florida is calling

.....)

I have given only three choices, reason: time for another name is over

!!!!!!!

Didnt change my mind, so I voted APOLYMURIA.

Maquiladora · November 6, 2002, 23:26

I wanted Apolytonia Lemuria still but if pushed Apolymuria just has more class than Lemuria. Im surprised that Lemuria is winning...

Locutus · November 6, 2002, 23:41

Well, I like Lemuria for it's multiple layers of meaning. I'm actually surprised Apolymuria (a butt-ugly name IMNSHO) is doing so well...

H Tower · November 7, 2002, 00:48

Apolymuria! would you deny your origins and be a lemurian instead of a twist on the name of your creator, Apolyton?

NO!!!

Choose Apolymuria

H Tower:

Take a look at tut2.slc. There you'll see the MANY layers of Lemuria coming out.

I would like to be known as a Lemurian, and I 100% agree that the other title is "butt-ugly" Fugly even

Daftpanzer · November 7, 2002, 11:18

since there is no vastergotland option i voted apolymuria.

What about some other names? Amuria or Apolia or polymuria or Molipuryia or Uripolmur or Molypolia or Polyapolymuriapolyiamurlemurlandia....

Immortal Wombat · November 7, 2002, 11:59

It wasn't butt-ugly 'til Martin stuck an "i" in it

Actual the "i" is the best of this great name

, well if we can't decide on this again we need a double name: Apolymuria-Lemuria or Lemuria-Apolymuria, but I guess we wouldn't be able to dicide again so we need to flip a coin.

Maquiladora · November 7, 2002, 15:05

We should have a poll on who flips the coin i think.

How was it spelt before? Apolymura?

Yes and I have no idea how I should translate it without the "i" into German properly. Without the i it sounds like a city name like Roma.

I voted Lemuria, although both are good names, Aploymuria is to close to Aploytonia for my tastes. Outsiders may think that we just took another spin off of the already over used name of Apolytonia.

Locutus · November 7, 2002, 17:41

You sure you voted Lemuria? IIRC the score was 9/8/1 before you voted, it's 9/9/1 now, suggesting that you voted Apolymuria

since I've never played CtP2, i have no idea what that is

Locutus · November 7, 2002, 18:34

You should check out some of the after-post quotes we get here (post-post quotes?

). Not quite the same, but it gives some idea of what we're talking about...

I voted shortly after the poll opened. Just didn't get around to posting about it until now

Immortal Wombat · November 7, 2002, 18:45

Apolymura sounds much more elegant that Apolymuria.

It doesn't need to translate, it's written in Apolymuran, not German

Locutus · November 7, 2002, 18:55

Germans translate *everything*

They're almost French in that respect

But quite frankly, I don't like Apolymura any better than Apolymuria

Pedrunn · November 7, 2002, 20:19

At the first poll there were 19 voters and we have already reached this number in this thread. Does this means we had a tie again!?!

If we do, it might be worthwhile to post another poll without the abstain option...just a suggestion.

Locutus · November 7, 2002, 20:43

We shouldn't force anyone to vote for a specific option. Besides, the abstainee (is that a word?) would probably simply not vote. There's currently 28 Citizens, if we wait a while longer, hopefully a few more will vote...
