Base names thread

Gnool · May 16, 2003, 21:35

Post your suggestions for base names here: I think names that have a historical link to communism, socialism, Maoist China, etc. as well as any new "Hivist" or futuristic left-wing sounding names are appropriate, but if you have another name please post it here.

Note: I suggest that we keep this thread for base names only, with a seperate thread/poll be created later on by the appropriate commissioner/minister/etc. later.

The Salt Mines
The People's Island (for sea bases)
The Commune
Yang's Memorial (for the small useless base that will just be a tourist destination)
The Planet Liberation HQ (For which ever base get the majority of the army or any sort of secret project that implies military command)
The Naval Liberation HQ (ditto above)
The Aero Liberaiton HQ (ditto)
The Sword of Lenin (Actually, we should call our Planet busters this!)

I like, I really really really like.

Jamski · May 17, 2003, 03:28

...and we should call our formers "Quantum Planet Busters" just to scare people.

Hopefully we can appoint prefects for each base, once we get a few, who can choose the name, build queue preferences etc for their own bases.

I have to say I like the default Hive names very much. Hole of Aspiration is a favorite.

Chairman's Keep
The Gulag
Hammer of the Hive

Yang City; and I think Yang´s Memorial should NOT be the name of a SMALL USELESS base!!! We have to hold up the spirit of our great father YANG!

Screw creativity. We're all neat and organized, remember? Name the next city '002', '003,' '004,' etc...

Frankychan · May 17, 2003, 16:44

I think we should save those for conquered bases.

Jamski · May 22, 2003, 17:44

Well, in keeping with the tradition of communist dictors and great leaders through history I suggest that our second base be named after our great Chairman.
Choices :

Voltairograd
Voltaire Base
The Glory of Voltaire
Voltaire's Den
Burrow of Voltaire
Voltarion
Voltairistock
Holy Citiadel of Voltaire

We should then continue through the Hive hirarchy for the third base (likely to be built on the same turn) with a base named by or for our deputy chairman (still to be appointed) and then on through the ministers untill all 14 of us have a base name. When it comes to someone's turn they can instead suggest a different name i.e. Frankychan instead of having "FrankyChanVille" could ask for "Leningrad"

I'd like to see "The PRAVDA offices of Jamski" as a base. Or "Marshal Rossossky's Army HQ" That would be nice. Agree? Disagree? We'll easily get enough bases

Nothing to boost your ego than getting a city named after you. I like it.

Jamski · May 22, 2003, 18:50

And we can ALL have one too

Fantastic idea, Comrade Jamski!

I love it! I agree that we should name our glorious bases after members of the glorious Hive!

All I can offer is "Static University". That should throw those PUT bastards off.

Static University

BIG LOL !

That'll be good - a super science base perhaps ?

Continuing the trend of Cities named after Hive members, who has the honour of getting Fellowship City renamed after?

Frankychan · June 3, 2003, 00:41

It should go by either rank or barring that, a vote. I'll vote for a city named after Comrade Jamski for his work in Pravda and creation of the national Hive anthem.

Gnool · June 3, 2003, 05:12

Glorious ideas! (Naming a base after all of us and naming our next base after Jamski) I concur. I humbly suggest we all post base names based on our own names. (I'll think about one for me)

Jamski · June 3, 2003, 05:39

I'm having trouble thinking of a good name...

Jamskiville?
Jamski Mines?
Jamski's Winter Palace?

Suggestions please

-Jam

Micha · June 3, 2003, 06:22

Jamskianapolis perhaps?

Snowflake · June 3, 2003, 10:51

JAMSKI CLOVEK (Defending the cavemen) ?

Jamski · June 3, 2003, 11:28

I like that actually

-Jam

Frankychan · June 3, 2003, 15:42

I personally like Jamski Mines. easy to remember.

Static Universe · June 3, 2003, 16:28

Jamski Resorts, for the first Hive base with a Rec Commons.

Voltaire · June 3, 2003, 18:01

Fellowship City will be renamed in the honour of the Deputy Chairman Jamski for his contributions to the Party and People of the Human Hive... we'll hold a final poll if a consensus cannot be reached.
