Base Name Suggestion Thread

Maniac · May 13, 2003, 19:56

The name says it all I guess.

Please keep in mind that a base can at maximum have 23 characters.

Land base names:

Names that have been accepted and can be used when an appropriate occassion turns up:

/usr/bin/EvilPlan (Planet Buster building base)
Silicon Valley
Mainframe Mines
And/Or Gate
Network Junction
Akiria
Cyborg Citadel

Names that got enough votes to be included in the next base name poll:

None at the moment

Names that were impopular in the previous poll and shouldn't be included in base name polls in the near future:

Pride in Numbers
Temple of Tron
NodeRunner
Byte City
Recursive Nirvana
The Tower of Googlie (at top of mountain)
TheUoPSucks (captured UoP base)
Archaic Aftermath (captured UoP base)
Kaapstad (base on south tip)
Binary Bastion
Tassagrad (on slope below The Tower of Googlie)
Lemmington

Yang's Yang
Borg Bastion
Mornington Crescent
Impaler Input

Names that were already polled once a long time ago (and lost). Those polled longest ago are first on the list:

Data Base
Binary Borough
Logic Pathways
The Hive Mind
Collective Consciousness
Serenity Hall
Collective Mind
The Consciousness
Hal's Haven
AI Farms

By-pass
Firewall
The Heap
The Stack
Gamma Ceti Ceti
Gamma Delta Beta
Deirdre's Network Node
Deirdre's Nodes

Lal's Lobotomy
Efficiency Edifice

Names that (IIRC) have never been included in a poll up until now:

Server Farm
Token Ring
Wired Village
Circuit City
Backbone Base
Annual Update
Conciousness Collective
CyberCore

Names that exceed the maximum number of 23 characters and thus can't be used:

Interface Connection Alpha
The Collective Conurbation

Full-technology integration experiment (base where we begin our first experiments in complete cybernetic integration into the government)

Sea base names:

Underwater Collective
Omega Watch
Gamma Breakwater

Drifting Data
Function Faire

Landmarks:

Dell River
Microsoft Peak
Gateway Bay
Sony Plateau
Philips Forest
Loch Linux
Digital Desert
Forest of Logic
The Height of Logic
Ben Byte
Eta Ridge
Pinnacle of Logic

A few more ideas:

Apolyton Prime (for capital)
Akiria/Akiris (it was actually named after Akizeta in the first place)
Aurora
Zetaris/Zetaria (again named after Akizeta)
Pride in Numbers (after all our names)
Underwater Collective (for sea base)

DBTSverse Portal!

Maniac · May 13, 2003, 20:31

What does DeathByTheSword-verse mean btw?

I never understood.

Drogue · May 13, 2003, 20:33

DBTS's Universe. Bunny's abound!

Method · May 13, 2003, 20:38

yes, you see, in the DBTSverse, the laws of everything don't apply, and rabid bunnies hop about to ward off intruders. have you ever heard the term DBTS logic? well, that's the only kind that applies in the DBTSverse

Edit by Drogue: No it hasn't

Drogue · May 13, 2003, 20:39

Are you sure DBTS is male? That sounds suspiciouslylike female logic

EDIT (using evil bug

): yes, DBTS posted a picture of him with his gf in CGN's IRC.

Drogue · May 13, 2003, 21:04

I think we need a poll tomorrow for the name of the capital, and one other base. I'll post it, or Maniac can, but wait to get some more options from the others first.

Googlie · May 13, 2003, 22:44

One I always liked (from my Cyborg aquatic clone faction) is

Omega Watch

Others?:

Temple of Tron
Mythical Matrix
NodeRunner

Maniac · May 14, 2003, 14:40

A few more Googlean creations:

The Consciousness
Byte City
Turing Base
Borg Bastion
Hal's Haven
AI Farms
The Algorithm
Cyborg Citadel
Pi Square
Silicon Valley
Logic Loop
Mainframe Mines
Data Base
Terminal City

Googlie · May 15, 2003, 00:52

For a few of the landmarks around your bases why not:

Dell River
Microsoft Peak
Gateway Bay
Sony Plateau
etc

(Sorry they are all American - I can't think offhand of any European equivalents right now)

Corellion · May 15, 2003, 01:12

Boolean Bay
Binary Borough
Logic Pathways
Interface Connection Alpha (etc.)
The Collective Conurbation
The Hive Mind

Drogue · May 15, 2003, 06:42

Let's have a look what landmarks we have around us before we name them I think. Nice ideas though.

Maniac · May 15, 2003, 08:16

Bah. As you might guess, I don't really like having names of American corporations as landmarks.
What about:
Philips Forest
Linux Lawn? (or something else beginning with "L")

Drogue · May 15, 2003, 08:58

Well, would cyborgs need OSs in the same way. I would have things like:
Digital Desert
Forest of Logic

However, it would only be logical to name landmarks so that they are easily remembered, rather than on pure whim or fancy. If it does not serve a purpose, it is illogical

But since it does, carry on

Loch Linux (for that inland body of water - or Linux Lake)

Drogue · May 15, 2003, 16:10

We also have a river and a mountain (or ridge, can't see the other side yet) to name. Any ideas?

For the mountain, I thought "The Height of Logic"

Oh, it's a lake!

Thanks for the suggestions btw - I like Loch Linux.
Another suggestion for a mountain: Ben Byte

Googlie · May 15, 2003, 16:26

Not that one, that one

G.

Drogue · May 15, 2003, 16:26

Way to go Googlie

Method · May 15, 2003, 20:12

i like some of the default sea base names:
Gamma Breakwater
Alpha Basin
Delta Trench (though possibly for some ocean trench

)

Eta Ridge (ripped off from default base names - works for pholus ridge though)

(no, the following aren't ripped off from a newtork node custom faction

)
Serenity Hall
Collective Mind
Collective Conciousness

Maniac · May 20, 2003, 14:34

Drogue, is it Zetaria or Zetaris, and Akiria or Akiris you want in a next poll? Or should all four be included?

Drogue · May 20, 2003, 15:25

Not all 4, because that will split votes too much IMHO, which of the 2 in each set do you think is better? I would go for Akiria and Zetaris, but then I am a little biased

Pick one of each (preferably with different suffixes).

Cedayon · May 22, 2003, 11:55

Ahh, base/landmark suggestions, time for the corny CS jokes

For a mineral intensive base, or maybe the crater:
Core Dump

If there were fault lines or that unused valley landmark:
Segmentation Fault (if too long: Seg Fault)

Two bases on opposite ends of our colony:
The Heap
and
The Stack

Any ol' base:
Gamma Ceti Ceti
Gamma Delta Beta
Recursive Nirvana
/usr/bin/EvilPlan
TheUOPSucks (

, j/k )

Non-CS-joke base names:
DBTSverse Portal (It was suggested, but I must suggest it again!)
Deidre's Network Node (probably too long, shorten to Deidre's Node?)

They're all good, but these 2 especially

EvilPlan will have to be used, as a big production base in case we want a couple of PBs, just in case

The UoPSucks should be the first captured UoP base (and there will be many of those

)

Deirdre's Nodes

Googlie · May 22, 2003, 16:55

and adjacent to Deirdre's Nodes could be:

Morgan's Metempsychosis and Lal's Lobotomy

Corellion · May 22, 2003, 19:47

Yang's Yang

Maniac · May 23, 2003, 11:59

Just checking to be sure

: Are these names just jokes, or should I include "TheUoPSucks", "Deirdre's Nodes", "Yang's Yang" to the list.

In any case. I suggest "Archaic Aftermath" as another captured UoP base name.

Drogue · May 23, 2003, 14:14

Maniac: The UoP ones are for captured bases, so not yet. I would say no ATM. Archaic's Aftermath gets my vote for a captures UoP base. Hive ones, Yang's Yang and Yang's Ying seem great
