OFFICIAL: Name of third city!

[child of Thor]

I think it is nice that each citizen gets to leave their mark on the game(if its 'your' city under attack you may feel more connected?), i'm only against using our Apolyton names cause it can cause confusion in chat and on the forum discusing the game. Still the chosen person could just name it what they want if they want - maybe like in the case of Mapfi where he doesn't want his name as a city then let him choose. Anything is better than that first city nameing circus we went through.

Some stuff for the people to think about:

(e) The President is responsible for the naming of all new cities of the empire regardless of how the cities were created or assimilated. A name has to be evaluated by the citizens through an Official Poll (Article IV, Subsection 3-II) before a city is named.

(e) Official polls shall only expire at a time chosen by the officer who opened the poll. And if the poll has an expiring day the same officer who started it must include this information in the first post.

Yes, Pedrunn you are right, but you could have included the information that is an open poll

And for the other's:

The President (Pedrunn) has the right to choose any name he likes. If you/we don't like it, raise a resolution/amendment poll to change this.

I actually liked the idea of Pedrunn as it will honour some of our citizens. The only problem is that some people didn't like the idea, out of various reasons. But again, you think that some people in reality would have liked what they did with their names? The only difference is, they were dead and not able to complain anymore.

But again, if you don't like raise a poll.

And Yes, I agree, the problems, we had with naming our first city, were not enjoyable.

mapfi, you can choose a name to run in a yes or no poll!

Good choice Pedrunn.

[mapfi]

I wouldn't care enough to spend time on figuring out a good name - I only said I didn't like the current system - now that you've started it, stick to it - I'll just vote no everytime...

I dont know if either I cry or I laugh!?!

[Tamerlin]

I agree with MrBaggins and I think you have reacted adequately Pedrunn.

[Maquiladora]

Abstained. Let mapfi choose a name.

It's the presidents job to choose the name not mine. I don't want to. I have however a right to voice my opinion being: I don't like the naming after DG-members. I'd prefer something like we did temporarily with the second city, naming it Kartoffelpuffer after the potato there or any other kind of fun naming. That's why I vote no. But really, I don't care that much - and the people seem to think it's nice to name cities like that. That's why I said, I'm not even going to bother voicing my opinion anymore. I'm a minority anyway, so go ahead and leave me alone with this city naming stuff!

[Maquiladora]

Yes you are in the minority, and we say that you should name the city something now

[Gilgamensch]

So Mapfi,

you want to say, that you don't take the honourable task of creating a city-name?

You are refusing a job given to you by our beloved president????????

Feel ashamed......... You could have set a living symbol of your own..... and WHAT do you do !!!!!!!!!! You just turn it down......

get in the corner and feel ashamed!!!!!

So I guess Pedrunn you havve to cancel this poll and create a new one

Or just call it like MDntW (Mapfi didn't wanted)

how about this:

1. Each citizen of Lemuria will have the option of chosing a name for a city(might be nice to draw up a rota so no-one gets left out).

2. If a citizen declines to name a city then the President can offer a poll or if the poll produces no clear winner or takes longer than x days to resolve,then he can choose one.

3. Once a city has been named no-one can ask to rename it.

something like that?

[Maquiladora]

Depends, we might not build enough cities for every citizen, unless we're gonna rename captured cities... ?

I prefer to keep some culture from the previous owners and just change the name a little.

I proposed a similar solution 'years' ago, but other's persuaded me, that the Pres. should have this power...............

My idea was more:

Having a thread, where on a rotary system, any citizen could post his suggestion and the Pres. could have choosen from (top to bottem)............ But it was persuaded

The only problem is, we would need to raise an Amendment to change the connie.........

[Pedrunn]

Since mapfi steped back on choose a new name and since the name mapfipolis (try to say this name loud five times as fast as you can ) will be the name of the third city probably the old Innsbruck which will be conquered but coul also be the one created by the settler. Which one comes first .

But the new system in which a chosen member of the DG community will give the name he wants will start in the naming of the fourth city in this thread

For those who didnt like the name of the third city there is always the resolution poll solution.
