The City Names Thread
Okay, after getting my first response in regards to the naming of cities, my first response came from wervdon. In this thread I will list all up-and coming names for cities that have been decided upon. This list may change soon if people vote in favor of allowing ministers to pick names first. The list as of now is:

- Apolyton, because we simply must.
- Civman2000 has already chosen the name 'Banana HQ' for one of our cities.
- Termina, by Trip

2) Tassagrad by Tassadar5000
3) Del Monte, by Ninot
4) Uberville, by UberKrux
5) Gaïa/Port Rouge/Redia by Spiffor
6) Maelstrom?, by Timeline
7) ? by Eli
8) punkbase by punkbass2000
9) ? by HazieDaVampire
10) Arigosa, by wervdon.
11) Flipville, by Flip McWho
12) Caligula Augustus, by joost1110
13) God-inYa, by Godinex
14) Tercomia, by johncmcleod

Well, its the citizens choice what to name the city.
Changing it'd be kinda like changing the names of Stalingrad and Leningrad, because they were Communist. Except it'd also be totally different. Just ignore my random blitherings.

The correct spelling of the latter is Port Malstroem.

Nope. Actually, Port Maelstrom is the correct spelling.

Quote:
maelstrom - Encarta World English Dictionary
mael·strom [máylstrm ] (plural mael·stroms) noun

1. whirlpool: an exceptionally large or violent whirlpool

2. turbulent or violent situation: a situation marked by confusion, turbulence, strong feelings, violence, or destruction


[Late 17th century. From early modern Dutch, formed from maalen "to grind, whirl round" + stroom "stream."]

If you would like to hear how it is pronounced, click here for WAV or here for AIFF.

You may have to reload the page a few times to get it working...

Yes, SwitchMoO is correct. Which is another reason I liked the name,

You mean that it's virtually impossible to get out of? Well, it's virtually impossible, so therefore it is minutely possible to get out. Infinite improbabilities follow the same pattern. Thus it is minutely possible that this Democracy won't fall into a "flame pit."

How are we going to run the voting for this? another thread with 20 or so city names to be voted on, the top 2 of which will be the next two cities; then we do another poll

We've already decided, actually.

If you do a little search, you'll find some polls determining the process. The next city we found will be named by the next person selected by the Random Number Generator Trip has.

The name of maelstrom has nothing to do with infinitely large, or virtually impossible.

It just means real big, and not nice. Which is what this Jungle is.

i'd like my city to be named "Uberville". that'll work.

and i think we should re-name Paris "mes couiles sur ton nez", describing joan's "position" after we topple her regime.

PS: i know it's really "mes couilles sur ton nez" (2 Ls) but it doesnt fit oh well.

edit: i'd like to NOT name the two new cities (Red and Blue as i call them).

ATM they would probably be best suited to helping to clean out this jungle. Although we'd need a few to get them like one reg. worker...

Linney, I was saying "virtually impossible to get out of" because I'm doubting it's easy to get out of a whirlpool.
