Name Our Capitol
Since no one else has done so and I have nothing better to do untili we actually meet another civ and learn Writing, I'm polling this issue.
With our modest population, I felt it best to cut the nomination list down a bit (eliminating all my suggestions in the process).

If you learn to spell, call it Capital.
If not, HQ.

Maybe Cápital? Or Capitál? Or even Cápitál? Just adding accents to it makes it that much cooler of a name...

Well in that case, how about some German umlauts? =Cäpitäl
Pronounced something like Cape-it-ale

Capitol was the suggested name. I'm just acting as secretary here.
For the record,
CAPITOL
1. The ancient temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill in Rome.
2. The building in which a legislature assembles.
CAPITAL
1. A town or city that is the official seat of goverment.
2. Wealth in the form of money or property.
In school, I was taught: Capitol building in capital city.
We can discuss spelling later if this choice wins. Please note that AFAIK Civ2 does not use alternate character sets, so umlauts and accents are not worth discussing.
BTW, this is a 3-day poll -- ends midday Sunday Chicago time.

*  -Jrabbit, wondering how he might free up some of those dusty synapses to better use. *

please not Bananarama...we don't want the enemy to laugh himself to death.
(btw I like the name Melfort...I think we should keep it,this could then be the place where our current prez retires after his reign)

On my copy of Civ2 MP Gold for Mac accents and other weird characters work just fine. And please do spell it right.

OK , poll closed, results clear.
See new poll re how we should spell the name -- Capitol or Capital.
Now let's all breathe a sigh of relief that we won't be living in Bananarama.

Sure, it gives it that 80s trash metal band feel. Our president will also be required to use excessive hairspray and wear shredded clothes.  We rock!

Mr. Cooper isn't looking all that good these days... Of course, that could have been said 20 years ago, too.
I say Spinal Tap is the way to go!
