City Naming Office

[Inter4]

But BH, half the people on that list haven't even posted since they registered! To name most of them: Regent Man, Ulyaoth, Bigmeat, Lecky, Michelangelo, Globo, Verowin, mhcarver, Stef Powa, Spartan010, juballs2001, inkstier, April Showers, weasel op, jst666, Esperito, Blackbird SR-71, Puglover, Plechazunga, Inter32, and Anarchywrksbest. Why should they get to name cities before people who are actually in the game?

I haven't posted much, but I lurk often and get in the chat room some times.

No making up rules as you go, especially ones which break with tradition. It is the people who need to decide if the way we name cities needs to change.

There is only one circumstance (beyond the President naming the capitol) where it would be appropriate to bump someone's name higher on the list to match geography etc. All people ahead of the one to be bumped must formally agree. If you want to ask the people on the list between the proposed insertion point and that citizen's actual place in line, feel free to do so. I have a feeling I know what the answer will be. Actually, if anyone disagrees, then you shouldn't change the order.

Fine. As I've said before, I don't really care.

I don't appreciate all the **** I'm getting from Cyc for trying to do my job, however. It is reaching an increasingly idiotic note with this.

your job? its no ones job to decide which cities in the list go before others, it goes in order, thats the way it has been last dg(and most likely all of them)... it pays to check the forum often so you know when signups started

i agree with cyc, it matters alot to some people including me

From TC instructions:

If any cities are captured, they should keep their name rather than be renamed.

A majority of us thought we would rename cities, perhaps you could poll something before declaring that thats gonna be the way it works

 

[Cyc]

I agree with Black Hole.

Just make sure you discuss it first. And don't forget to include a "middle ground" option(some renamed, some stay).

Oh, and I don't know if this is the place for this, but I moved to Furuyama.

this gives me an idea DZ

Cities founded by us should be given names as they usually are, from the top of the list. A player may change the city name he wants, or give it up in favor of a more geographically appropriate one. In these cases he should post in the naming office thread. Otherwise, the cities will be named in this order:
Epolenep
Daitokuji
Odawara
Okinawa
As stated, at the request of the person who submitted the name it may be changed. I expect we'll only found that many cities during my absence.

As we can see from Epimethius' OFFICIAL post in the Turn Chat Instruction thread he has childishly switched the names of the cities I listed as my choice. Of course he'll claim it was a mistake, and I'll get warned for pointing out what he has done.

Mr. President the name is Zojoji. Please make the appropriate correction. This game has turned into such a joke.

 

[Babbler]

The current naming system is okay, but a random number generator to select who may be fairer, if done right. And BTW, I have been able to post, but have yet to attend a turnchat, for I have commitment in "real" life.

 

[Donovan Zoi]

I saw that too, Cyc, and thought Zojoji would be the name...........

Honestly, this office does have too much unchecked power, especially when little oversights like this happen. I am giving the benefit of doubt here, but will remain watchful.

 

[Rik Meleet]

Cyc: It's editted. Zojoji it will be.

i personally dont think epimethius needs to post in the TCIT(Turn Chat Instrutction Thread) just let the DP look at this list and put them in, otherwise Epimethius gets to add unchecked orders and instructions....

edit: heres what I mean from epi's second post:

Note that the name you requested may be "Japanese-ified" before being built, or any of a large number of other possible mistakes.

I personally dont want my city name changed to sound japanese

 

[Cyc]

Thanks, RM. I appreciate it!

I again agree with you, Black Hole. I wouldn't want my names changed for any reason either.

 

[blackheart]

Why should our city names by Japanified? It IS our name isn't it? How many mistakes can be made when naming anyways, how hard is it to run down a list and type in the name?

that is how it worked last game, and it worked perfectly... i cant remember a single complaint about the way it was done

 

[Black_Hole]

I would like this office to know about the pending judical review i have filed:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=2108020#post2108020

edit: the JR has been accepted

 

[Epimethius]

I did that because I didn't like the two j's, to be honest. I figured it wouldn't make it a difference. It was not, I assure you, because I hold any sort of grudge. Not that it matters anyway at this point.

My reaction to the judicial review that took place without a defending statement can be seen in the judicial thread.

 

[invy]

This is my first demogame and i'm enjoying playing it. I would like to propose that one of our cities calls: Edo. It is my name IRL and i would like to have something special and personal in this demogame. Japanese already have that city so please just leave it that way if it already wasn't renamed. If it is, i would like you to add this name to a list for one of our future cities. Thanks.

 

[Epimethius]

Thanks to the recent discussion and judicial review on City Name Japanization, for the next week or so the City Naming Office will be pming citizens asking permission to change names if we feel it is necessary. This is entirely up to the citizens. We are also perfectly welcome to the citizen's changing them themselves to something they thought up. The goal is to have all the Japanization figured out before the next term gets under way.
