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

[Maniac]

Cedayon asked for names for the new region, so here are some basic suggestions. Hopefully someone will suggest some more fantastic names.

Sea region:
First scrap my previous New Zealand/state suggestion. Instead:
New Zeasea
Sea State

Hive region if it contains The Hive itself:
Hiveria

I was kidding, GT

And that would be inconsistent with the UN image in what way?

I know, I know, we're running an FM now...

Here's an idea. Find a random square without any bases or anything near it, and write "This Planet is Belong To Us". I don't know what heading that would go under, though.

U.N. Yang's Mine sounds great Imagine he's the only one working in it...

Including things like 'Yang Mine', 'Socialism Tunnels', 'Watcher's Eye', and 'Sheng-ji Yang Base'?

[Jamski]

I seem to remember having quite a good time in 1984... Oh, you mean the book I think we should keep all the names and just add U.N. in front of them, as a reminder of thier liberation.

-Jam

[GeneralTacticus]

Yes there is, actually. It absolutely reeks of 1984...

[Jamski]

Well, there's nothing wrong with "U.N. Seat of Proper Thought" is there? We all like to think properly.

[GeneralTacticus]

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

[Jamski]

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

-Jam

[Cedayon]

So rename the objectionable ones? or all of them?

or are they all objectionable?

[GeneralTacticus]

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]

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