City Names

[Darkness' Edge]

When the time comes to begin, how are we going to name our cities?

I propose following the Civ3 system.

The people agree on a name for the capital, then certain ministers get to name a city each, whatever they choose...

[Mr. President]

I'll push for a city named "Hatikva". Not only does it sound cool, it also means "the hope" in Hebrew.

[Lemmy]

what about "Lemmy's Laboratory"?

[DeathByTheSword]

Britney-Spears-city i mean.........never mind!
Like the civ3 idea but would like to see the capital just kept as it is

[Wojit]

I think "UN Equality Village" is a good name


(Or "Hole of Aspiration")

(I love SMAC city names)

[Main_Brain]

Name One Base P4.. then obliberate it

[DeathByTheSword]

Do you really think that would be an atrocity? jk

I would name my city (of course) New Tassagrad. I mean, I do write the UNN.....I suppose I deserve SOME recognition

I think the capital city should be kept the default and then the subsequent cities can be named by first the sitting commisioner and then I have no idea from there...

Crystalis would be a city name of choice for me... named after my wife.

And boy do I know she'd be proud to know she had a city named after her in this game

And then by the ministers, and then citizens. Or we could just do citizens.

However, I really do think we should do the first city something like "Apolyton Headquarters" or "Apolyton" or something like that.

[Gnool]

I think everyone should have a say in naming every city (but I like the idea of the first city being called "Apolyton" or something similar)

[DeathByTheSword]

then just down the memberlist? (i am 10something so i will be choising but not all the members i think)

[Crisler]

I agree that the first city be named as default. However I feel that each city afte that should have names to reflect our efforts.

I call for each Commissioner to be able to name the first city created during his Administration. As I understand this though we will bend that rule for the first to cities. The First Commissioner will name the first added city and the Second Commissioner the second, provided we can add two cities in the second commissioners term.
The key is what to do after those cities are named. Suppose the Second Commissioner is able to build three additional cities. City one will be named by the First Comm. City 2 by the sitting Comm, and what about city 3?

Personally I would like the idea of going down the members list.

E.L. Crisler
First Commissioner

(By the way the City I get to name will be Antioch)

For the city names, we could have a poll for each city. Each one post one or several names for the next city to be found, we make a poll with the, say 10, first names to come, then for the next city we keep some popular names that have been outpassed, plus some new propositions, it can be hard to manage which are popular, but I trust our Alpha Talent.
