Civilization Naming, Part 1

That's frickin' hilarious!


I would have put the "t" in there, tho. Apathetica. Too funny.

What missing "t"

Thanks for the correction, Cyc. Always were way too good at catching my typos!

Apathetica, definetly! Really evocative of the current Demogame spirit. Japanatica is good too though.

Apathetica

Thats kind of how I feel too. I could care less what were called so long as well can execute out enemies (with me as MD of course )

-san is a name suffix for people, not countries. Plus, in Japan, it is considered rude to refer to yourself with -san (or -kun, -chan, -sama, etc) after your name.

Another note on Japanese words.

1 - There's no l, just r.
2 - There's no Ti, just chi (although you could represent 'ti' in katakana script).
3 - If you want to use romaji (English equivalent), use correct notation. (i.e. Toukyou. Not Tokyo, or Tookyoo).

 

[Cyc]

I still like Japanatica.

 

[Epimethius]

In light of Chieftess's grammatical lesson, I've put what should be vague Japanizations of the various names up there.

I have to admit, I like Japanatica and Apathetica too.

Anyone else, or shall we advance with the 13 (plus abstain) names?

Can you please make it a public voting poll. I seriously doubt anyone will lose any friends by voting on the name of the nation.

 

[Donovan Zoi]

Should it be multi-choice at first? With a runoff for the top vote-getters?

This way everyone can initially vote for any name they would be happy with in the beginning, rather than having to choose between two favorites.

 

[Cyc]

Can you run a public voting poll that's also multiple choice? I haven't tried that yet.

 

[Donovan Zoi]

Yeah, we have done that in the ISDG a few times. It works.
