OFFICIAL: Name of third city!

[Pedrunn]

Following the same principle of the other city naming. I will be naming our city after a important member of out community.

And this time i will be honour our current Senior Justice mapfi.
For all the effort he gave to the community and CTP2! Participating intensivily of the constitution creation in all articles, for being the current Senior Justice, last term judge, who have held the longest game chat ever, also helding the turn chat for two important when we started negotiations with the Germans, helped me with the screen shot posting and who post here very frequently! Not to mention his work outside the DG with mods like the Religion mod and the Hidden Nationality coding.

I have chose the name mapfipolis. But others name variants (mapfiland, mapfia, maurian, etc...) can be accept specially those given by the honoured mapfi.

So do you agree with naming the third city after mapfi?

[Pedrunn]

Locutus, the no was supposed to have a and not a ! Coud you fix it

[MrBaggins]

Yes, and a vote for mapfia

[mapfi]

[MrBaggins]

and mapfi voted no...

[Devil of Truth]

Sounds good to me.

[Pedrunn]

Why dont you make resolutions to name the cities???

And it wasnt me who first suggested this name system and it wasnt just me who loved the idea!! You have the power to do everything you can if supported by the majority of the people!!!

[MrBaggins]

yes, but maybe the use of a 'personal name' should require the consent of its 'owner' in the case of these kind of names...

[Pedrunn]

*Crosspost*

It is not easy to find a name most people like but i do believe this system is working. Very few people is voting 'No'. (In the last poll only mapfi did).

But i would like to remember all that 'resolutions polls' are resolutions and since i was the one who brought them to the constitution I really love to see them in practice!

yes, but maybe the use of a 'personal name' should require the consent of its 'owner' in the case of these kind of names...

I never got critics until now about the use of the name. Actually, Locutus felt quite flattered and mapfi's complaint is about the naming system and not the use of his name! After all if mapfi doesnt agree with the use of his name i will just name it after the next guy in the list!
But I will ask the next honoured citizen if he doenst want to see his name in a city!

[Turambar]

Why not instead of naming it after them just let them name it?

[MrBaggins]

Thats a much better idea...

I agree.

(And if given the opportunity, would change my vote- if mapfi says no... then I don't think we should name the city after him)

Solution:
The President suggests a candidate... we vote Yes or No.

if yes, then the candidate suggests a name.

If anyone sufficiently hates the name, then they can start a resolution opposing it.

I vote for baggin's plan.

I did? Gee, on Apolyton you really do learn something new every day...

As I've said before, I agree with mapfi that naming cities after people is rather unoriginal and silly. I'm not sure if I like the MrBaggin's system but IMHO it's better than the current one...

I dont have to. I close when i think enough people has voted or when i say it is enough.

I dont believe names like El Dorado, Mordor and Lemur City (winners of the first city naming) are original

I dont want to see what happened again in the naming of the first city.

Still...
As i said you can already start collect names for the city. And start an unnoficial poll to know the best name. Once chosen the name the Resolution poll to the know the best name. You dont need me for this!!!

And to make a list with all DG community (I current am only posting the most famous) can make my popularity decrease (seriously, I really dont want to make such list not because of votes since i wont run for President again but people may feel uncomfortable with their rank and i dont want to be the cause of that!

Sorry, i dont mean to be tirannic. I just have experienced how difficult is to find a good name.
