[civman2000]

if he doesnt want them named after him they shouldn't be named after him!!!

call it "&Not Shade". underline the N for effect.

I know but who says he will stay citizen forever? Maybe he will be president again(or do some other job and make a crucial decision)that make's us consider naming an other city after him.
What will we call it?Naldur's town? Nalduria secundus?
Or shaka city?
all three give 'problems' for the units-home...
I think we should rather take some time(or the president should) to take a look at our cities and which city has wich unit and where hey are stationed.(always nice to rehome some units to stay out of problems)

==> So dear historian don't worry about my mind it's still working great. I just don't see the fuss all are making.

Well, then, Shade, how about...

schaduw

First 3 letters are unique, the name is yours, nobody else can pronounce it!

That's a good name...no problem with those first 3 letters,not 1 English word even uses that combination to start(as far as I know)...and there will be at least 2 ppl who can pronounce it: me and MdS.
I love it.(would be nice in this row: Umbra, Shadow, Schaduw... )

Shade, your gonna miss out on the fun. If you keep insisting on not naming something more directly after yourself, then so will everyone else!!!

I have no problem with naming a city directly after me,I don't use the 3letter shortcut for units(If I want to know where it comes from just click )

call it "&Not Shade". underline the N for effect.

Sounds good to...but I like "Schaduw" beter...but don't let this hold any-one back to name eg 2 cities after me:
"Schaduw" and "Not-Shade"

Well, actually, scheme, schism, school, and schedule come to mind, but that's OK.

now you mention it

but there the sch sounds like 'sk'
in Dutch it's something like 'sh' and add some "g" sound

[James Adams]

Let the people who polled decide!

[shade]

I hope those votes change quickly ... Darkness and Light really sounds...bad?strange?=> not good.

Shade

[Shaka Naldur]

change the names of shadow and light
one Mbloomia (he was president for a while after all)
and the other one ShadeCity

for example

I don´t like the options on the poll...

leave rivertown alone

about the city-renaming shouldn't we limit that to foreign conquered cities?(I'm afraid this, what we are doing now, might lead to a renaming race each time we get a new prez...)
This is really like for impatient kids,we want to honor someone and we want to do it now,immediatly,now... why can't we just wait untill we build new cities or conquer other ones.(there are many to be build and to conquer,I guess it should not be a problem to have ~5 to 10 new cities(conquered and build) at the end of this term.)

=> like our wise historian said in an other thread:
"Patience, Grasshopper. Patience."

these are my last words on this topic.

Damn right!!!

[CannonFodder]

I have an even better idea-why don't we let the minister of Imperial Expansion decide new names for cities? Heh heh heh.

[civman2000]

mbloom? when was he prez???

[cavebear]

If Shade doesn't want a city named after him (at least for now), that is OK with me. I just wanted to show our respect for a fine President.
