In the turnchat our civilization was revealed... Rome! Now we need to decide what to name our nation. In the turnchat the name "Fanaticum" was proposed, which I fully support. If you have any other suggestions, simply post them here, or express you support for "Fanaticum."

I support Fanatica

But we had "Fanatika" last game, and "Fanatica" is only one letter different! BOO!

Fanaticum
Fanaticus
Fanaticvus

I like Fanaticum, and I support having Romans be our name and Ceaser our Dux. Rome, a civ to be proud of!

I'll support Fanaticus.

Fair enough.
Fanaticum is good

Fanaticum! then Id have the honor of concieving the nations name!

I'd say our country is Fanaticum, ou people are ??? and our chief is Rex Shaitan.

for now, fier. I say we stay with Ceaser as our leader. Dux Ceasorum

I like Fanaticum

Cpt Kaos rules!

Maybe we should get Cracker and his Latin dictionary in here. On second though...

Fanaticum reminds me of a New Element that we should put down on #110 in the Periodic table. Uun -> Fa.

The name sounds good :)

Romanics??? Fanalatins (i like that one)

No, Fanaticum should be element 666. No, wait, that's evilium!

And we're not an 100% unstable element. Grrrr.

:hmm: Shaitan... :ack::eek:http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/CT_scared2.gif

Ummmm......Well i tried looking for a latin name for us, but it seems close to impossible to find one. But I think I found a motto in latin.

Got an idea. Basileus [name of the president]. This way, the president can call himself the "lord of everything" and still look authentically roman, bisantine or early russian.

As for the people's name, what about the AIcides. Or the Shaitaneans. Or maybe the proposition of "fanalatins" (by amirsan) is better? I would have realy liked better to be the greeks, as i'm better in hellenistic nomenclature.

I'll go for Fantalatins.

Fanatica (the base word for alterations) works well on its own, imho.

:ack: "huh huh.... He said....."

My apologies for the implied vulgarity, but let's add an "I" to Fanaticum so we don't become an unwitting punchline for CivButtheads everywhere.

Fanaticium [fan a TEE see um]

Thats what I thought but apparently it is too much like Fanatika

I don't see anything wrong with Fanaticus.

I like Fanaticium or Fanaticum. I don't like Fanatica because that name has been used by the Civ 2 DG.

The Glorious Empire of Fanaticum sounds good.

But, we could aso use Byzantine. Fyzantine, Fanatine, Fanatzyne.

Just my 5 cent (not fully serious):

Romantica and the Romantics

Fanaticae?

1. person nominativ plural of "fanatica".

fanatica= one inhabitant of Fanaticae.

I see CT has already named her prehistoric news network Fanaticum. Is this a sign? Are we Fanaticum?

Oh, goody. Now we can all be Fanatic Cummers...

Fanaticum just doesn't sit right with me. I support Fanaticus I think it sounds just as roman and less embarassing.

Yeah, that name is just wrong...

I still think, though, that the simple Fanatica is good enough.

Ya, why is there such opposition to a name like one we used before? obviously we liked it the first time. I still think it is the best choice (Fanatica, it sounds like a real name to me) but since it seems there are many objections to a 'used' name it looks like it won't succeed.

Now that I think about it, Fanaticum does sound pretty wrong. Fanaticium or Fanaticae still sounds good.

Yea.. lets remove the "cum".. thats why i hate saying "cum amicis"
Fanaticus?
Fanaticorum?
Ya know what, lets just decline Fanatica. (its neuter!)
Fanticum, Fanatici
Fanatici, Fanaticorum
Fanatcio, Fanaticis
Fanaticus, Fanatici
Fanatico, Fanaticis
Im not doing 3rd declention. let someone else take that

Am I the only one confused by the 'Fanaticum' name? :confused:

Yup. ;)

Can I embarrass myself infront of dictionary.com? :p (of which it's not even a word...)

How about Latinatica?

Fanaticum sounds good...let's make it Fanaticvm!

CT - PM sent.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:rolleyes: Then what about those OTHER Roman cities? :p

um.. think dirty, very dirty :D On the othre hand, I don't think I wanna be the one that gives you the definition :P

EA

Because of all of your sick minds... I propose we go with Fanaticus!

I go for Fanalatins and Fanalatinicus or Fanalatinus.

I was hoping someone would come to their senses, Plexus.

Fanaticus is a perfect name. We are calling on the Gods to make Fanatics of us. Hail, Fanaticus!

Ya know when I first supported Fanaticum I didn"t even think of that:eek: But Fanaticus is growing on me!

I can deal with Fanaticus, although it sounds too much like someone's name: Augustus, Brutus, Spartacus, Plexus...... :D

I was playing around with the Latin-Enlish dictionary and came up with this this one:

Infragilis: meaning unbreakable, strong

Let us choose a name whose meaning we must forever strive to uphold. Vivo Infragilis!

Again: 'Romantica' (Because 'romance' is derived from 'roman' - and because SPQR looks so much better thann SPQF -
- and because E. A. Poe is a romantic and the author of the tales of mystery and imagination - and mystery and imagination are the things we're dealing with here.)

But of course: Fanatica (with a 'c') would work pretty good (much better than 'Fanaticus' or 'Fanaticum' or something similar.)

Thats pretty sad, we now aren't going to use a name people liked because some brats started giggling? Great...just great.

Let's go for Fanaticvs!

Appearantly. And the 15-year-old male (ME!) was more mature than they were. Hmmm...

It is perfectly within our rights not to like a name. I think that is a better reason for not liking a name than "I just don't", or "We used that before".

Feel free to put it in the poll, if it is elected thats fine with me. I just don't like it. Don't get so upset just because some people don't like the name you chose, you'll have a tough time in life if you do.

Seems like we have to make a huge poll.

Well, if we have no more suggestions, I'll make a poll...

This from the one who claims to be "unsuitable for minors." Are you sure there wasn't some subliminal motivation at play here, Morty? :lol:

I'd do it as mulit-choice and have people select all names that they can live with. The top selections would then go into a single elimination poll.

I was planning on doing that. I'll make the thread in a bit.

Since the poll is now up I would like to take this opportunity to argue why we should call our nation Fanatica in Demogame III.

1).
In DG I we were know as Phoenatica and in DG II we were known as Fanatika so there is some logic in calling ourselves Fanatica this time. Some people say 'not again' but since we are fanatics our homeland really should be Fanatica.

2).
The civ we play has had a bearing on the spelling of our name but we have always been Fanatica in pronunciation. We are now Romans and this too should influence our choice of name. In Latin countries were feminine and ended in an 'a' Africa, Brittania, Caledonia, Germania for instance. Fanatica fits that perfectly. Fanatica also sounds so much better than other choices too.

In conclusion when you vote for your nation, VOTE FANATICA and vote for a glorious future

Quoting Peri:

You got that right Peri. Feminine all the way... :D

Quoting Immortal:

Sad is right, Immortal. I felt the same way when someone denounced a flag for the nation because it had a Roman numeral 3 on it. How's that for perverse?

And Panzer, don't worry about Nolodan. I can tell by the way he interjects brilliantly that he is indeed rightous, he is more mature than most who post here. But he will never be credited for his brilliance. That's life.

WARNING: Do not troll in these forums. - Shaitan

the beautiful yellow and red one? thats a shame :(

It might not matter now, but I think that was a wonderful flag, a great show of talent. :goodjob:

panzer: if that was directed at me (and I have a distinct feeling it was) I must say I have never said any nation name wasn't good because of any of the reasons you mentioned. My reasoning for saying what i did earlier was that in the chat room during the creation, when i proposed the name, most, if not all (im sure a few people had different ideas) liked the name. When I opened this thread and saw that the same name was being denounced simply because the word "cum" has pornographic and sexually explicit meaning tied to it, for some strange reason.

So thats all, i dont think you should make it a point to knock my maturity though, some have expressed a lot less then I have in this thread.

Cyc, this is the second time in about a week I have had to warn you for flame/troll posts like this. Don't force my hand...if you do it again, you will be banned.

Don't worry eyrei, he was talking about some "Nolodan," not me. And I also have a response for cyc. It's nice to know you care.
