City naming conventions.

[polarnomad]

I like including "stable" in the name, but Foxtrot Stable might lead to some confusion seeing how we have been abbreviating city names when discussing turns. Not that it's really a big deal of course...

How's about Echo Stable?

[Octavian X]

We could go for alliteration - Sierra Stable?

[polarnomad]

Well, we do already have a Sierra.

[Octavian X]

I'm not the most attentive person in the world...

I like foxtrot. Sounds all horsey.

When we rebuild Foxtrot Stables do we use the same name, call it New Foxtrot Stables, or come up with something else?

Re: abbreviations, in order to not confuse Fort Sierra and Foxtrot Stables, I propose when abbreviating we use lowercase for the keyspellling.

ie:

Alpha Base = aB
Fort Sierra = Fs
Foxtrot Stables = fS

If the Rebuilt Foxtrot Stables is named New Foxtrot Stables this may not be needed but under this standard would be abbreviated NfS.

How about "Horde-stomper Stables"

I have visions of Clydesdales dancing in my head. Dancing on archers.

I figured we could just continue to refer to Fort Sierra = FS, and shorten Foxtrot Stables=Foxtrot.

I'm for keeping the name when we re-found.

We could take a page from software development: seeing as it's the second 'version' of the city, how about 'Foxtrot Stables Beta,' the first city being the 'alpha' version.

Got another city to name coming up real soon. If we're placing it on the coast near the western pigs then I would suggest:

Delta Docks

[inamirrordarkly]

I like Port.

Maybe Port Zulu, Port Kilo, Port Echo, or Port Lima.

[polarnomad]

Out of your suggestions I would be most partial to Port Lima.

[polarnomad]

We need a name for our newest city. For the moment I have called it Echo Cove.

[UnOrthOdOx]

I like it.
