CoS Discussion: Section C - Naming Rights

So, let's add a section stating that the first city founded is seperate from these standards, and is named either by the President (preferrable) or by a poll.

-- Ravensfire
 
Section 2.

Code: 
  2. When a city name is required, the first name available on the official
     City Name List shall be used unless that city's name-giver determines 
     otherwise.
     a. The President shall have rights to name the first city founded by
        COUNTRY_NAME. If the President exercises this right, the President
        shall be skipped in the City Name List the first time the President
        is due to name a city.
 
Good. Change that to "The president in the First Term of the game". Otherwise we will be writing a problem into the wording. ;)
 
Revised per Cyc's perspicacious comment:

Code: 
  2.  When a city name is required, the first name available on the official
      City Name List shall be used unless that city's name-giver determines 
      otherwise.
     a.  The President of the first term shall have rights to name the first
         city founded in said term. If the President exercises this right, the
         President shall be skipped in the City Name List the first time the 
         President is due to name a city.
 
As I've just come from another thread discussion this, we need a clause on provincial naming.

Code: 
999.  The first Governor for a province shall name that province.

Not a clue what the next number is, not gonna look either!

Naming Rights have always primarily dealt with cities and terrain features. Provincial naming is part of the Legislative legislation. It is a major perk for the Governors and should be included in the CoL, not the CoS. Let's quit mixing the city/terrain naming and the Province naming.
 
What about a city that is lost then recaptured (or flips from us, then back) and hence is already named by a citizen.
4. Cities that were captured, flipped, or otherwise acquired are always renamed. When a city is renamed, it must follow the points above.

This would imply that that city is automatically renamed. Adding something like: "unless they already have a name given by a citizen" would allow the city (and hence the citizen) to keep its name.
 
I think #3 takes care of that Furiey.
 
V1.1
Code: 
C.  Naming Rights 
  1.  A City Name List is compiled from names provided by the citizens of
        COUNTYR_NAME. 
    a.  Each citizen was required to provide a name at the time of 
        registration. 
    b.  Names will be used in the order of citizen registration. If a city 
        name was not provided, that citizen is skipped until that citizen
        provides a name.  That name is placed on top of the remaining list.
    c.  A citizen may change or add their choice of city name any time prior
        to their choice being used. A post must be made in the Census Office 
        thread regarding the change or addition.
  2.  When a city name is required, the first name available on the official
      City Name List shall be used unless that city's name-giver determines 
      otherwise.
     a.  The first President shall have rights to name the first city founded 
         by COUNTRY_NAME. If the President exercises this right, the President
         shall be skipped in the City Name List the first time they are due 
         to name a city.      
  3.  When a city has been named using a name from the City Name List, it 
      shall not be renamed unless the city is wrongly named .
  4.  Cities that were captured, flipped, or otherwise acquired are always 
      renamed.  When a city is renamed, it must follow the points  above.
  5.  Natural terrain features (mountain chains, lakes, deserts, etc) may be 
      named by Provincial Governors. If the Provincial Governor does not wish
      to name a feature it may be passed to the next Governor
  6.  Naming rights must pass through all citizens before a citizen is given 
      a second naming right in the chain (from Article 1).

Changelog
V1.1
* Section 5 passes rights to next Governor now.
* Section 7, allowing Gov. to rename cities subject to poll removed
* Added 2.a, allowing the first Pres. to name the first city

Until we have determined where provincial naming goes, I'm leaving it out.

Indeed Furiey. 5 and 8 are the same, but apparently none-existent because it was left out by Ravensfire ???

What do you mean Raven? Are you gonna leave it out ? Then leave it out ! If you aren't going to leave it out, then why insert it twice ?

This is RF. This is RF working on too many things at once.

Any questions? :D

Said offending clauses are obviously the result of too much liquidized and fermented hops and barley in anticipation of the new year.

Sorry folks - the old 5 and 8 are removed.

I would like to see this clause in this section of law. Lets keep all naming laws together rather than scattered.
 
To be polled tomorrow
