    erm .... I don't think we're allowed this. We get post-count for posting in this forum, so isn't an OT thread just spam?

    I don't personally oppose having one, but I'm not sure Markos would be too happy if he came in here and saw a 300 post thread where we're just talking about movies, girls, football etc. etc.

      Sure, Mark may not like it at first, but if we spin it as a place where we get to know each other better, thus helping the cohesiveness of the team, maybe...

        Yeah, its just the scholar's lounge, where we exchange opinions on politics and other nonsense.

        In the matter of city-naming, i suggest something that reflects our 3 schools, something ith Academy or Schola, what do you suggest?

          I was thinking of doing some fun stuff with them sort of message like;

          OOOoops, wrong way,
          aaahh, maybe next time,
          Easier Civ-20 tiles east,

            What will be great is when we can rename cities that we capture.

            Uber's Crypt
            Arnelos on a Pike

            etc

            Too bad we can't name the landmarks (that's the first time i've said that!!!!)
            Raze the capital and name the ruins.

              Or switch every name, every turn, it would confuse the hell out of them and unfortunately, us aswell

                    I think that's a great idea. Our initial capital and 2nd largest city should have a more serious name but the rest of our empire I have no problem giving names like

                    Not a Gathering Storm City
                    No Visitors Allowed
                    12 Spearmen Inside
                    This City Is 20 Tiles Away
                    Turn Your Army Around
                    You Already Missed The Goodie Hut Here
                    Former Supreme Military Commander of the Democratic Apolyton States, Term 8
                    Former Chairman of Apolyton Labor Party

                      Silly names are and

                      Other options:

                      "Here be Dragons"

                      "Trespassers will be shot" and right next to it another city called "Survivors will be shot again".

                      "We're behind you"

                      "These aren't the droids you're looking for"

                      "Caution: This city may contain nuts"

                        I like FP's suggestions.

                        A few others:

                        "Come and get some, ya pansies!"

                        "Uber, I DARE you"

                        "We have gems and you don't!"

                        "Oh, did you want these horses?"



                        -Arrian
                        grog want tank...Grog Want Tank... GROG WANT TANK!

                        The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

                          Is there a limit on the number of characters in a city name?

                          Some of these are too long to be practical, but they'd be as funny as hell.

                          More names, all film references, a cookie for the person to name all the films (easy):

                          "We know Kung Fu"

                          "And like that, *poof*, you're gone"

                          "We're the sound of a thousand terrible things coming your way."

                          "We are Kaizer Soze"

                          "Go away and bring us back a shrubbery"

                          "Today I saw a NYE become more powerful than the Emperor of Legoland"

                          "I see dead people: your people"

                          "We fart in your general direction"

                          and lastly:
                          "Any of you f**king pr**ks move and I'll execute every mother-f**king last one of you" - , maybe not.

                              The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.
