Well we have had several ideas and I have tried to pick most of them except for the Zulu ones since they have no real relevence, except that we killed them.

I am not going to include an other option as if someone does come up with a great idea they can post it and then if others like it then a new poll can be created.

I tried suggesting "Crater" or "Crater Lake" or something like that in the other thread, but I was too late and really only joking anyway.

However, I did try to sneak in the name "Centauri" since that was the target the ship was aimed for anyway. Ah well, I throw a vote at the choices listed.

Well if someone else says they like them then the poll can easily be recreated.

You mean the center of all modern civilization, Austin, is not a choice? ;)

Regia Civitas - "The People's Capital" I keep telling you, this is the only option.

Centauri, or even Alpha (the first) sound really good to me.

Fanatica!
We should pay some respect to the forum we're posting at and name the capital after it. :)

I think including Fanatica in our empire's name is tribute enough - Regius Civitas

Well, in the initial thread I think I suggusted Latin, since it has traditionally been used for this sort of thing in the Western world. Besides, Regius Civitas sounds neat, and actually means something, which is a plus.

If it stays as close as this, I will start a new poll tomorrow with the two most popular options, as the voting could easily change.

Regia Civitas is leading 9-7 at this time :).

Looks like its 7-5 to me but I still think it would be a valuable exercise to re run the poll with just the two options.

Ah come on Dell, my idea has clearly won by a HUGE margin...

BTW whose respsonsibility is it to collect the city names into a list, is the Domestic Advisor cause I would be willing to become the "Keeper of list of City Names" (now theres a catchy title)

Well even if its the domestic advisors job, you can make the list and then send it to him.

I think there is a number of people who haven't voted on this poll yet (22 votes in the other polls vs. 19 here). So second place is not really decided yet. I also think the additional ideas (like "Crater Lake") should be included in a "revamped and enlarged" version of this poll, as dell said in his first and third post. I hope I'm not too late for this to be technically possible...

The problem is that I've made the poll now. If a third person says they would have voted for Crater Lake then I'll start a new poll but there is little point starting a new one now when the two leading options have at least 5 votes each.

IF the 3 missing votes were to completely go to either Metropolis or Valhalla, we'd have a tie for second place. But as I posted in the new city thread, there'll be more cities to name, so I accept it as it is.
