What kind of a name is Contaginon for a Palace?
Seriously, would you want to stay in a palace named Contaginon? We need to discuss and decide on a more suitable name for our Forbidden Palace site.

Especially since Contaginon is OPD's misspelling (remember the Gazette article about that ) for "Contagion", which means disease or epidemic... (he named it at the same time as he named "Bacteria" )

Alternatively, "Contagion Theory" was a sociological theory developed by Sigmund Freud and others which asserted that rioting crowds (in their opinion) acted entirely irrationally and that the irrationality of crowd behavior spread "like a disease"... The theory is wrong, of course, but that's beside the point.

So, take your pick, our palace either stands for:

1. Poor spelling
2. Disease
3. Rioting

While this may be appropriate for the former Persian centre of commerce and trade, it's now been an Apolytonian occupied city for some time and deserves a better name.

Name proposals:
Aggopolis (After Aggie)
Luxor Palace(Egyptian AND connotes the fact that we took this area for its two luxuries)


For the following poll of choices for new names, I propose that any name suggestion must have TWO citizens other than the one who first proposed it express their support for the name in order for it to be placed on the poll.

I recall that Aggie refused that his name be given to a city; he said that he was enough honored by the glory of our armies, which is extreme modesty on top of extreme pride.

I suggest for the very specific case of Aggie that we make a thread titled ARC DE TRIOMPHE (Ghengis will not like it, I know), with only the name of Aggie, the terms he served as SMC, and the list of all towns conquered by armies under his command. The following sentence would be engraved : From Apolytonia, in recognition of services rendered. The thread would be closed and mentionned on the first page of the directory.

That sounds good, (Who told the Frenchie he could have a good idea? This should be looked into..............) you should do it.

Wow, you called him a Frenchie rather than a Frog. DAVOUT, he obviously really respects you

(though he DOES call our French worker corps "Frenchies" as well...)

I never call Frenchies Frogs, that's degrading to them.

Actually, since our civ subjicated the French one and has domesticated them we should refer to them as "Toadies".

Wart are you talking about here, naming them something like that would be in-ribbiting.....

Although they might JUMP at the name......

I would be happy if it would help improving your spelling.

As for your opinion of Frenchies, I did not notice you had. All what I heard till now are overused prejudices.

Contagion is a great name for a civ that has been as imperialistic as ours, but considering how many civs we've destroyed, maybe a better name would be Ebola.

I'm holding on my promise to try to name a city for Duddha:

Rename it to "El Duderino."

Please? Or how about "Where the Pizza is at through the Port"?
I know! We can name it Triscuit!
Or Anime, after all the people who have Anime pics as their custom avatars(?).

Agudo (in spanish - "sharp" ... the projection of banana power...think sword))

or

Excalibur (oooh. Simply reeks of majesty.)

Whatever - as long as it's a nice, assertive, Apolytonian name.

Can we name our Forbidden City something exotic and powerful. Something that truely fits our nation's theme.

I dunno. Maybe "Banana City" or "Bananopolis" might be better fits.
