    No objection to the Ha'goona name, but I wonder, how is that easier to remember than a Chinese name?

      Do we want a city name that would inevitable be abreviated to "Hag" or "goon"

      Also why so much concern over the implications of other teams some how infering messages from the names. Team Banana is bairly active and we have lines of comunication with them which are far far more significant in their influence. Further more their RP has in no way indicated that eating bananas is un-cooth they repeatedly refer to smoking peels and waring them on their feet. I dont see any way that a name like Iron Monkey could be offensive to them, if anything we could spin it as being in honor of them.

              In the spirit of giving an ironic nod to our warlike intentions, I'd like to suggest the name: Xi'an. Voor de Nederlandssprekenden, dat wordt Shie-an uitgesproken.

              1) It can be translated as "Peace of the West" or "Western Peace" or something.
              2) It's an actual city, so unlikely to raise any suspicions.
              3) It's better than "Shanghai", which means "At sea", a rather inappropriate name for an inland city.

                    For the dutch speaking people, the word is spelled pronounced like Shie-an [shi: an]

                        Yang's underground tomb is also located at Xi'an.

                            But Xi'an is good, at least noone would suspect anything of it..

                                Tass, I'm disappointed. You're posting here but you're not saying how inactive things are?
