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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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")

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'.

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