  • Poll: Name of our capital

    Because there's a fairly large number of candidates for names to choose between and because some are rather similar, we're gonna do a Eurovision poll again Most of you should already know how this works. Short summary if you do:

    - you have 120 points
    - max 30 per name
    - voting lasts 5 days (give or take)
    - if you want your vote to be anonymous, PM it to me
    - you cannot suggest new names

    More elaborate explanations for those who are not familiar with this type of poll:

    The idea is that every voter gets (up to) 120 points to hand out, you may distribute them between the names listed below however you want, except that you can give at most 30 points to any one flag. So if you really like Lemuria, give it 30 points. If you think Timbuctu, Camelot and Xi'an are also kind of nice, you could give them 20 points each. That leaves you with 10 points which you could give to for example Angkor Wat, if you like that name. Any other distribution is fine as well of course, whatever you want. The winner will be the flag which has the most points after about 5 days or so. If two or more names are rather close, we'll have an extra, final poll between those two/three names with the most points. Whichever name wins this poll will be the official name of the capital of Lemuria. Note that if you want your vote to remain anonymous, you can PM it to me and I will add it anonymously. If you have new names to add to this list, that's not possible: the discussions have been going on for quite some time now, you had your chance...

    If you have comments on the rules of this poll, please post ASAP so I can change them if needed. Don't wait until everyone already voted

    Here is the list of all the names you can choose from:

    NanJing is in the north part of the south. ÄÏ, spelled nan in alphabet, says its in the south, NanJing is a great city w/ a great history, one of the longest-running capitals
    DongJing is east, most people call it Tokyo because thats the lauguage of the people living there; DongJing is a translation
    Xanadu-> City from a poem about Kublai Khan
    Honshu -> largest and most important island of Japan (location of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, etc)
    GongYuan is a cool name. if ¹«Ô°£¬ it means a public park
    but im aiming for a (sounds different but alphabets exactly the same) imperial court or imperial garden

              I just copy-pasted what Pedrunn already posted earlier. I'll correct your name, but what's Saba? Is a name missing?

                      PooLemur (30) - a place of cool pools where the lemur bask and play.

                      Valhalla(30)

                      Lemurcak(30) - a smelly place with serious need of investment in public sanitation.

                        Lemur City
                        Paititi (or what ever)
                        The one I had to copy and past because I don't have the charachters, but it looks cool: Þrúðuvangur

                        Tallasar reminds me of Tassadar, so my 4th vote goes to This (merely because it looks odd since its a common english word).

                        Slap me up with 30pts to each.
