DM opinion Poll: How should we name our cities?

[UnOrthOdOx]

Well?

[Kuciwalker]

Voted option 1.

I think people who didn't get to name a city last game should go first (though I don't know if anyone in the current administration falls into that category).

[GeneralTacticus]

I would, but I don't know if it matters, given that my participatino in the last game was virtually nill.

Voted 1.
I didn't get to name a city last game...
... But I'm not in the current administration...

[GhengisFarb™]

Voted 1, but think that ALL suggested names should be voted on for approval in a poll and if less than 50% approve of the name the minister who suggested it should resubmit another suggestion. This would allow ministers to suggest names but safeguard against stupid names like "Big Twinkie City".

[Inverse Icarus]

voted 1. now to find a cool way of mixing norse ledgend and the word uber.

[Gramphos]

Voted option 1.

[Donegeal]

Voted option 1, but I will name via option 2.
(I was never an elected official, but I served as a RG for 7 of 10 terms...Donegeal mumbles something about not getting to name a city)

[BigFree]

I voted other. Let me decide them all.......let's see then....ok....

Aro mumbles to donegeal something about BOTH of them not getting to name a city...

I never "named" a city in the last game, but a French city was not renamed on my behalf, sorta. I was also never an elected official, just a long-standing RG.

The problem with #1 is that it breaks down - officials forget to submit a name, the public isn't polled for names when it is their turn, new officials forget to use their right after the public gets into naming. Many things went awry with this approach last time.

So I voted for #3 - but I have a suggestion for how the list would be built. The City Name List would start with one submission from each elected official. Senators (citizens) may submit new names for the list, which must be approved by a senate poll before being placed on the list. Subsequent elected officials get to add an entry (if they wish) without having to pass a Senate poll.

Thoughts?

Whichever one keeps the game moving faster.

It's my opinion that the names don't really matter as we all know the eventual outcome of our game.

I'm not so sure. Diety, Raging Barbarians, Vikings, starting location with no bonus resources or luxuries. We've set ourselves a challenge.

[UnOrthOdOx]

Personally, I don't want a city named after me, and I suck at naming things, so will be polling if we decide to go that route.
