It's that time again... (name thread)

Shameless ripping performed as suggested

Method · March 3, 2003, 18:06

dammit, i suggested you use the names from that in your POLL, not for this thread!

oh wait, this is a good thing. i no longer have to edit the name thread. thus the tradition of stealing name threads lives on

My plan was to use it in the poll, but I saw that you had stolen the thread from the last guy so...

I guess I'm gonna have to do some base location polls soon too... bah, and I just wanted to approve a bunch of rushes

Maniac · March 3, 2003, 20:12

Landmark proposal: (13.73) Ben Nevis - 2810 metres - highest mountain in Peacekeeper territory.

that was because she disappeared

Hercules · March 3, 2003, 21:34

I think we need a place called Spam City.

Hercules · March 3, 2003, 21:35

Maybe even a Region, Spamshire

Hercules · March 3, 2003, 21:41

That contained bases like Spamton-on-Fungus, where there was endlesss discussion on where to place and what to do with 'green' 'clean' 'four wheel drive' upgraded armoured rovers.

Oh my God we're talking Akiria here

Maniac · March 3, 2003, 21:49

While we're in the spirit: Chatterville.

flash9286 · March 3, 2003, 22:27

Flashpolis

Drogue · March 4, 2003, 07:06

How about we delete any suggestions that have been polled and failed to get more than one vote? Might shorten that list a bit, and get some nice shiny new ones

GeneralTacticus · March 4, 2003, 07:10

btw, we've now fought our first conventional battle near Capricorn, so I move that we rename it to either mine or DBTS' suggestions of 'The Earth Plague' or 'End of Innocence'.

EDIT: That is, the tile that the battle took place on.

Jamski · March 4, 2003, 07:53

How about "Death by the Spoon" that's a nice name, I think we all agree.

-Jam

And what are you suggesting that name for? The site of our first battle?

And for the basename poll I'll try to pick ones that have done well in previous polls... if there are more than 22 though (24 - xenobanana and write in), I'll just start snipping

Maniac · March 4, 2003, 10:22

Could you please also include "Fungal Lake City" and "We Sit Together"? I had these names in mind specifically for a base between the Ruins, and a base bordering that two-tile fungal lake beneath the Ruins. I presume that if we still expand on land, those two locations will be among the first to be colonized.

Cedayon · March 4, 2003, 12:26

K, I've got these got these options for the poll, sound right to you all? Feel free to suggest new things, of course, and to tell me to put next to a name that it should be only used in xyz circumstances.

New suggestions:
1) Spam City
2) Spamton-on-Fungus
3) Chatterville
4) DBTSverse Portal

By Maniac's request:
5) Fungal Lake City (next to an inland lake covered with fungus)
6) We Sit Together (for a city in the middle of the ruins)

Popular from last base name poll: here
7) Hatikva
8) Elskerdom
9) Per-Ah
10) Kensai's Grave
11) Aurinko
12) Scion
13) Greenoble
14) Garlandgrad
15) Troy
16) Macross City
17) Silent Lucidity
18) Mt. Guiness

Popular from base name poll before that: here
19) Lemmy's Laboratory
20) Temple of Freedom
21) Camelot
22) Ultima Thule
23) UN Large Reserves of Xenobrew

The one, the only, the obligatory...
24) Xenobanana!

Maniac · March 4, 2003, 15:40

5) Fungal Lake City (next to an inland lake covered with fungus)

Method · March 4, 2003, 17:24

do NOT include flashpolis. not only is flash just an åsshole who has been following me around posting in all the threads i did (he did it in the CtPDG too), but nobody in their right mind would vote for it.

besides, he isn't even a citizen

DeathByTheSword · March 4, 2003, 17:50

yeah to flashpolis......

......anyways....what about DBTSverse-portal.....nah not really dont have any idea anyways

Method · March 4, 2003, 17:57

that could be dangerous

EDIT: didn't your secret police install one in sheathed sword already?

Cedayon · March 4, 2003, 18:02

edited out the flash thing, put DBTS-verse portal in its place

DeathByTheSword · March 4, 2003, 18:04

ha as we speak my troops stand on the other side of the portel poised to strike and take over the world....but some idiot misplaced the portal and now it ends up near gaian territory and you know what gaian women like to do most with strong and handsome soldiers (I just cloned my self like 1 billion times). sp taking over the world wont happen sometime soon...but I always have my bunnies!

Maniac · March 10, 2003, 17:09

In case we would start renaming liberated Hive bases, I'd like to offer two suggestions:
Victoria (Latin of course

)
Vijayanagar (I believe it's Dravidian for "City of Victory")

Cedayon · March 10, 2003, 18:41

Hmm, what does everyone think, should we rename captured Hive bases? Sounds good, it's just more work for me

GeneralTacticus · March 11, 2003, 02:17

Yes, rename them. No way in hell should we be running a faction containing bases with names like 'Seat of Proper Thought' or 'Yang Mine'.

Cedayon · March 11, 2003, 09:23

So rename the objectionable ones? or all of them?

or are they all objectionable?

Jamski · March 11, 2003, 10:01

I don't see how anyone could object to living in "U.N. Hole of Aspiration"

-Jam

GeneralTacticus · March 12, 2003, 02:44

Just rename the more objectionable ones, although off the top of my head I can't think of any name that would be acceptable...
