List of City Names

[GaryNemo]

Term3 VP: Octavian X: Octavia's Point - M1 River Mouth built 650BC
T1 Deputy Foreign Minister: Heliogabalus: F2 - Gabba Gabba built 625BC
Term2 Military Advisor: ainwood : Name for Iron City ???
Term2 Science Advisor: Leowind : Neuma - Wants G2NE
The G2NE Site is Pure Green (free shield) adjacent to 3 Forest,
total of 9 Green including 2 River, 5 Ocean, shares 2 w Mordhiemia.
I withdraw "Nemo's Way" - it's Gabba Gabba now and forever more!

Duke, may we consider naming F3 Nautilus? What about these others?
  Princess Lucy has chosen 'Azkaban' (Oct 14, 2002?)
  StevieP, Newspaper Deputy: Bedfont Lakes (Oct 9, 2002?)

We have Iron City coming up, suggest Jayne names it that for now...
And maybe F3 Filler, use generic name, maybe we'll irrigate...
And G2NE, shall we name it Neuma without a poll?
Then the North Whale City, seems far future
Maybe River City, needs exact site etc

duke o' york, what are candidate names? Nautilus? Azkaban? Bedfont Lakes? And Ren Mordhiem Civ1 and myself may be due another name, eh? What about Philosopher12? He's AWOL.

Comments, anyone?

 

[GaryNemo]

ainwood, we really need your chosen name. I've been thinking ... IronWood ?

 

[duke o' york]

I thought that Princess Lucy was a bit young for Harry Potter books. Maybe the queen is fond of boy wizard adventures.

I'm not sure about Philosopher12 as he seems to visit for short bursts and then disappears again for ages. I haven't had as much CFC time as usual recently but he's hardly ever here.

Just set up the names you want Gary. All our cities will have to be named (did I mention that I want my city called Ulundi? ) anyway but we can discuss whether or not we want to rename captured cities when we get the chance to actually capture some.

 

[Jayne]

Lucy and I have read the first 2 books of Master Potter and the first 2 pages of 'Azkaban'. They are strangely addictive!!

 

[heliogabalus]

And yet you can restrain yourself from reading on? Or is Azkaban the bed lecture and has been started only two days ago?

PS: I hope (for myself, since I've read the first 3 books with some interest, and for you, my sister and all the other Potterites out there) that Lucy won't have come of age before the last Harry is out. Seems like Ms. (Mrs.?) Rowling is more occupied with getting a nice well-rounded number of children at the moment than with the saga.

 

[Jayne]

We just started it yesterday, but Lucy was more interested in trying to eat the book than read it so we stopped. I must admit, Lucy didn't get to hear the end of Chamber of Secrets becuase I was too keen to finish it! Aren't I a cruel mother?!!! (I did tell her what happened at the end though!)

 

[heliogabalus]

It must be awfully hard still continuing to read aloud and slowly if you are really interested in the book yourself...

But we are getting off-topic here. Reproach us, mods, o please do!

"Or shall I taunt you a second time?"

- edit: O how I yearn to see which colour is currently en vogue for mod warnings. Maybe a soft ochre. Combined with DoY's purple that would be a blessing for my eyes endedit -

I wish you'd asked the deputy mods to reproach you too! Shucks, I'll just have to wait until Duke has finished with you.

You are right though - Harry Potter isn't really on-topic for this discussion so suggest some names that we can use for cities or suffer the wrath of the Duke of Marlbrough!

I've mentioned mine already, but I'll keep giving you some more for the hell of it:
Ebor, Eboracum, Jorvik (not allowed with those damned Vikings! Kill them! ), York to start off with.
After that then I'm not sure. But surely four is enough!

 

[Leowind]

How about Hogwarts, Privet....Oh, can't think of any others at the moment. I'll have to get my daughter to suggest a few. She has all four books, the movie, every trailer for both movies, and any shred of info about Daniel Radcliffe from the web completely memorized.

Can you say "obsessed?" (hey, she's twleve; comes with the territory)

note to the Dukes: I did suggest city names in this thread, so *technically* it is still on-topic, but I am currently slapping my own hand for being such a bad boy anyway.

 

[heliogabalus]

I'm sorry, Duke, I meant to imply deputy mods as well! Wonder if your quote stays purple. And how DO you manage to include smilies in quotes?

And now for something more Demo Game related:

Do you mean we should suggest city names, relating to us or just out of the blue, for "emergency cases" like a flood of settlers or a large number of conquered Viking settlements? I would have thought that we have a number of Demo Gamers yet who do not have a city named for themselves yet, including some present(?)/ former ministers.

I'll throw in some suggestions anyway:

(http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/Countries/United_Kingdom/Wales/Cities_and_Towns/ is a valuable source)

*Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant
*Llangammarch Wells
*Llanfairpwllgwyngyll
+Beddgelert
Blaenau Ffestiniog
Morfa Nefyn
Pontypool
Deeside
Colwyn Bay
Connah's Quay
Tal-y-bont
Waunarlwydd

* Apart from the L-ones (a bit too long) they sound really good to me.

+ (if it were German, it would roughly translate to "Bed having been emptied)

 

[GaryNemo]

Well, the Duke has come up with ... York.

And we haven't heard from ainwood, MonkE, Serutan. Our Governors are surely part of the Current Government.

 

[heliogabalus]

> Well, the Duke has come up with ... York.

Wow. How did he think of that? And what has it got to do with his username?

> Our Governors are surely part of the Current Government.

So it's them three who are governing our current provinces? IIRC, the drawing of provincial borders has been done in this term of office, so for next term we will have elections for governors (well, doh)!

 

[MonkE]

I'll suggest the name Monks Towne, for now (preferably not for a filler city!).

 

[heliogabalus]

To clarify: The Welsh names I suggested a few posts up are proposed in earnest. I started out searching for long and convoluted place names for joking purposes (the Ll... ones).

Most of the place names I found I really liked, though, and therefore included them. If we are ever through with naming cities after participants or if there are sites that no one wants to attach his name to, we can take one of the Welsh sites.

 

[Jayne]

I know someone who lives in Waunarlwydd, so I quite like that one!

 

[heliogabalus]

Are these cities all decently sized (10000+ inhabitants), or are they little hamlets of 50 people, all of them related?

 

[duke o' york]

I don't think any of those places qualifies as a city to be honest. I'm sure they're all towns, some larger than others, but nowhere near the Civ 2 size towns.

Anyway, getting back on-topic.......

 

[Jayne]

I think Waunarlwydd is just a small village on the edge of Swansea (city). Colwyn Bay is quite big. Blaenau Ffestiniogg ,iirc, is not much more than a train station up Mount Snowden.

 

[heliogabalus]

But do you like those city names, people? Our queen has expressed she likes at least one of them [HINT] [HINT].

 

[Elsaak]

I know it's not my job of proposing city names, but haven't take into consideration that we should change initial letters of our cities (then, it's easier to find then by using "Goto" fonction...)

If some of you like Alsace, local names usualy used are :
Hipsheim, Ingxwiller, Zaamatten

And what about writing the name of our capital in CAPITAL LETTERS ?
