View Full Version : The Name A City Contest
Stuck_as_a_Mac Aug 05, 2005, 01:25 PM Thats right! I'm giving you, John Q. Citizen, the chance to come up with the name for the fourth jewel of the Fanatikos Crown. (I still get final say over what the name is, but you come up with the choices)
Rules:
A) The City name must be either Greek-Based, Literature-Based, Musical Theater-Based or Random Nonsense (as this is me we're talking about)
B) Submit it here
C) Swing a sack of sausage three times counterclockwise over your head while whistling Dixie on the eve of the full moon while hoping on one foot.
D) Profit!
So, get cracking.
I'll start by announcing my two submissions:
The Frogs (if a costal city)
Transexual Transylvania (I'm not sure if I'm serious or not yet... and that scares me, but so does the fact I donned Frank-N-Furter garb at midnight in Chelsea to go swear at a screen)
Provolution Aug 05, 2005, 01:37 PM Priapos, the son of Aphrodite and Dionysus, let Priapos be the name of the new city.

or Antinoum in honour of penelopes most aggressive suitor
Nobody Aug 05, 2005, 10:48 PM Paradise City, because that what i wanted to name a city but i never got the chance.
truckingpete Aug 05, 2005, 10:52 PM The City of Ni!

Stuck_as_a_Mac Aug 06, 2005, 11:25 AM So far we've:
Priapos
Styx
Ni
Ogygia
Anorexium
SaaMCity
The Frogs
and of course..
Transexual Transylvania (sweet Transexual! Land of night! To sing and dance to your dark refrain... and take that step... to the right!)
@Governor Admiral Bell: try having a contest too. You never know what people might come up with.
admiral-bell Aug 06, 2005, 11:35 AM okay, I'll do that
classical_hero Aug 06, 2005, 11:47 AM We could have it caled Chicago, 'New York, New York', Oklahoma, Cats, Saturday Night Fever, Grease, West Side Story, Les Miserable, The Phantom of the Opera. I'll try and come up with some more.
As you can see, I am trying to come up with as many musicals as possible.
Stuck_as_a_Mac Aug 06, 2005, 12:31 PM Stay away from R&H. All I'll take from them is South Pacific. Anything Sondheim, as you see, is good. And don't make it too obvious. Like, instead of Grease, use Ridell.
(But its the pelivc thrust... that really drives you in-sa-a-a-a-ane)
Chieftess Aug 06, 2005, 12:38 PM Transexual Transylvania (I'm not sure if I'm serious or not yet... and that scares me, but so does the fact I donned Frank-N-Furter garb at midnight in Chelsea to go swear at a screen)
Not if you want to get warned, Stuck. ;)
Strider Aug 06, 2005, 12:58 PM I came up with a long list of names that we can call the city, however I decided to go through them and make sure there mod-friendly.
Needless to say, none of them passed the test.
Stuck_as_a_Mac Aug 06, 2005, 01:22 PM removed in accord with warning
Strider Aug 06, 2005, 01:38 PM Har har har. Once again, uncalled for. Completly. If you don't have something meaningful to post, don't bother posting anything, okay? Also, quit hanging around here if you don't intend to do anything other than troll any post relating to the 5 city aspect.
You understand any aspect of the word 'joke', or do you just like flaming people for no apparant reason?
Strider- you were once a valueable member of this community whose posts had meaning and were helpful. You were my boss for serveral terms and my deputy once or twice. Now you're just a troll whose pissed we're not playing a regular game. What happened?
SaaM
People pissed me off, it's as simple as that. You want my help? Then you have to actually earn it. I still don't understand your logic, you expect me to somehow help you, after the above post? :rolleyes:
Bootstoots Aug 06, 2005, 01:41 PM Not if you want to get warned, Stuck. ;)
I'd say such a name would be worth the mod warning. :p
Very, very strange movie, btw.
Civlord Aug 06, 2005, 02:16 PM What about Larissa, or Arghostolos?
Chieftess Aug 06, 2005, 04:37 PM I'd say such a name would be worth the mod warning. :p
Very, very strange movie, btw.
Guess I didn't know it was a movie.
Anyway, as a general warning, let's get this thread back on topic and stop arguing. For now...
Stuck and Strider warned for flaming eachother.
Giio Aug 06, 2005, 04:38 PM I will give you an html cookie if you choose my city name
:mischief:
Stuck_as_a_Mac Aug 06, 2005, 05:55 PM hmm... cookies...
you drive a tempting bargin, Giio.
Giio Aug 06, 2005, 06:11 PM I have a variety of delicious cookies,
I have hookups in both Mr Christie and Nabob
Or i could give you some sweet canadian donuts/coffee/danishs
:mischief:
classical_hero Aug 06, 2005, 11:59 PM Guess I didn't know it was a movie.
Obviously you have been stuck in a time warp. ;)
Stuck_as_a_Mac Aug 07, 2005, 09:02 AM I think I might go with Styx (that depends on a river, of course)
Styx allows us to have some fun with being dark, allowing for a seedier city. Kinda like Gotham. (We still get our transexual transvestites, as well as any other creepy stuff we want)
Of course, the RPing of the city lays squarely on the first term of doing it. So lets see what happens..
SaaM
classical_hero Aug 07, 2005, 09:12 AM What is your fasination with Transexuals?
DaveShack Aug 07, 2005, 09:40 AM It's a movie reference to Rocky Horror Picture Show. There must have been a showing recently in SaaM's area. :crazyeye:
Stuck_as_a_Mac Aug 07, 2005, 09:42 AM my area? dave, i live in NYC. theres a theater in chelsea that has been showing the movie for the last 30 years, complete with floor show.
and yeah, my dad finally took me. im not sure who was more immature... me or him (he saw it when he was my age, 30 years ago, as he's 30 years older than i am)
ravensfire Aug 07, 2005, 11:30 AM I think I might go with Styx (that depends on a river, of course)
Mr. Roboto!
<smack>
Sorry - I've apparently lost control of my music taste by mentioning that evil song.
If Styx does win, I'm opening up the Paradise Theatre though!
-- Ravensfire
Stuck_as_a_Mac Aug 07, 2005, 11:48 AM Alright. We're Styx if we're by water.
What if we aren't?
Maybe Hades or Tartarus. Perhaps Sheol (the Jewish equivalent of Hell, or the grave, depending on the translation)
Any other hell-based mythology anyone cares to share?
truckingpete Aug 07, 2005, 02:28 PM Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
Domo, Domo
Sorry,,but I love that song...Styx is my favorite band by the way too...:D
Well we can try to make it by water you know. You would think we would find lots of water (hopefully).
But if it isnt, huh....
let see.....
Mount Olympus (spelling?) if by a moutain or hill...:D
or
Hyperboreans
Look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperborea
greekguy Aug 07, 2005, 03:04 PM for a non-water city: the place in the Underworld that was really nice. Elysian Fields, or something like that. there's a street in Paris named after it. come on, you know what i'm talking about...

You know, I never heard that song either.... When I first saw it here awhile back, I thought you were referring to a user. ;)
truckingpete Aug 07, 2005, 03:28 PM You know, I never heard that song either.... When I first saw it here awhile back, I thought you were referring to a user. ;)
lol :lol: It's a pretty good song...Styx has very good songs like Mr. Roboto :scan:,Long Nights (Blue Collar Man), Come Sail Away, and Too Much Time on my Hands...and others too...:D
RegentMan Aug 07, 2005, 06:03 PM for a non-water city: the place in the Underworld that was really nice. Elysian Fields, or something like that. there's a street in Paris named after it. come on, you know what i'm talking about...
Champs Elysées!
greekguy Aug 07, 2005, 06:24 PM Champs Elysées!
