[Maniac]

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

None at the moment

A few more ideas:

Aurora
Zetaris/Zetaria (again named after Akizeta)
Pride in Numbers (after all our names)
Underwater Collective (for sea base)

[Method]

DBTSverse Portal!

[Maniac]

What does DeathByTheSword-verse mean btw? I never understood.

[Drogue]

DBTS's Universe. Bunny's abound!

[Method]

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]

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]

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]

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

Omega Watch

Others?:

Temple of Tron
Mythical Matrix
NodeRunner

G.

[Maniac]

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]

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]

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

[Drogue]

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

[Maniac]

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]

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
