Hey I figured I would set this up based on:
UN: Custom Name (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=160605)

So I am assuming we won't be broing and go with the default, and coem up with something creative, so after a discussion a poll can be created

Basically we need to decide on 4 things

Leader:
Civ Description:
Short Description:
Civ Adjective:

The exampel given by Regent Man in the above link is:
Leader: Bigfoot
Civ Description: Holliatarian Empire
Short Description: Holliataria
Civ Adjective: Holliatarian

So I'd be Bigfoot, leader of the Holliatarian Empire. My fellow Holliatarian citizens and I are proud members of Holliataria.

Hey I just though about it bit, the leader can be changed in game on a turn to turn basis... :hmm:

We could simply have whoever our current president is as our 'leader'

I dunno? :confused:

Leader's name could be "Fearless Leader".

@Memphus - When I first started reading this, I thought you were having a conversation with yourself! :lol:

Other than that, I like the idea of the president being listed as the current leader. :goodjob: Good idea.

I love all these!

For Leader Names, How About...
* Big Brother
* Inner Circle

I also like Fearless Leader & Cabal..

As a default... I think changing the leader name to match whoever is serving as our president is a fun idea.

How about for Civ Adjective something like:

-"The Civilization of Fate"

-"The Fated Ones"

-"Those of doom"

fitting our mysterious and plotting theme?

Why not have our leader name as "The Leader"? Thanks to setting this up since I was not around for a few days.

What about "Nameless One"?

With names like these we are just going to have to use spies!

So I'd be He Who Sees All, leader of the Epsilonian Illuminati. My fellow Illuminati are proud members of Epsilonia.

Yet another suggestion for Leader name, and I think that Illuminati are the people, rather than Epsilonians. But I'd be fine with just about anything suggested so far :)

Remember The Leader knows all and sees all. He created lightning and just about everything.

We are certainly getting a good feel for our team already :evil: even before we have been assigned a civ.

Lets set a time limit to creativity (don't believe I wrote that :twitch: ) and then poll it.

Homicidal Maniac could be interesting...

basically it seems we are just deciding the name. Mine is best because all we should do is just state that he is a leader and let the other teams guess what he does actually mean. Considering that we have a mysterious team name, we should have a mysterious leader name and nothing says that better than The Leader

I'm fine with The Leader

Just so everybody knows, I've been quiet on this issue because I don't have an opinion. I'm fine with whatever is chosen.

well the 48 hours is up for creativity :p

I'll put up one poll for the leader name

Civ Description: Epsilonian Illuminati
Short Description: Epsilonia
Civ Adjective: Epsilonian

Seem to have gone over very well with one exception
the civ adjective got the follwing suggestions as well

-"The Civilization of Fate"

-"The Fated Ones"

-"Those of doom"

But didn't want to create a second poll and clutter our board so...:crazyeye: I guess you could jsut mention which civ adjective you wanted in the leader name poll :goodjob:

I really see no need to change what we already have. I see it as just an opinion as who is going be the name for the leader.

But it should be voted upon because we are a team ... and there is no I in team :lol:

Anyway ... I have already voted for The Leader because I agree with what you said, to me it fits the best for what we are developing :evil:

I keep telling you, I am The Leader. ;) :mischief:

If we were to change to the civ adjective, then the ret would have to flow with it. That is why I think it is best to go with what we already have, since it does flow with what we want as a team and that we really have not recieved a viable alternative to the rest of the custom name.

Please be more specific. What is are the current adjectives and other descriptors?

It's my understanding that The Leader has the weight of the majority behind it, and I also thought that these were generally approved:
Civ Description: Epsilonian Illuminati
Short Description: Epsilonia
Civ Adjective: Epsilonian

Am I mistaken?
