Naming a Nation - Preliminary Discussion

[RoboPig]

I like Fannatania

 

[Ashburnham]

I agree with Donovan, the Ottoman names were much better than what I've seen of the possible British names. oh well. I'll cast my vote for Fanatannia, since it looks like we'll be English afterall.

 

[Provolution]

Seems like Fanatannia and Uncommonwealth are in the lead here.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

"Its Royal Majesty of the Uncommonwealth"

non gender biased, odd, and English.

I like it!

 

[RoboPig]

Right now its alost certain that we will be england, so we should forget the Ottoman names

 

[Xerol]

Fanaticland? Then we'd be the Fanaticlish people. Doesn't end in "ics".

 

[Sarevok]

.......but it always is.

Here's some other names:

Uncommonwealth of Fanatica
Fanatania (may have been said....)
Copeland

True, but it dosent need to be.

 

[Ashburnham]

Well, the name is sorta important. The name of our nation is one of the most important choices we make for the start of the game. There's nothing wrong with giving the name its due consideration.

 

[DaveShack]

This is going to need to be wrapped up as soon as possible, since we cannot run Creation Day without the information.

I suggest going through an official name nomination and seconding process. For a name to be considered it must have a minimum of three people supporting it (submitter and two seconds). After 2 days, a poll is created using the names which got at least 3 mentions in the nomination thread. If WOTP as measured by times a name is mentioned in the thread shows a clear gap between a few (less than 5 names) with a lot more (at least twice as many) mentions as the rest of the field, then the poll will contain only those names which are above the "gap".

If there is no serious opposition to this plan, let's open the official name nomination thread at 4pm forum time or earlier. I may not be home then, anyone can open it. We can go ahead and risk an assumption that England is our chosen civ.

 

[RoboPig]

So a poll eh well i guess Fanatania is already an option since three people supported it,

I think our organization system is more important.

Make that a 4th. It's the best one I've seen so far.

 

[MOTH]

Fanatania is the name I would pick.

I guess if we have a poll it is only Fanatania and Uncommonwealth that have been supported.

 

[Chieftess]

Here's what the names would be (name and title could change) if we're Fanatania

Name:		Citizens
Formal:		Fanatania
Noun:		Fanatanians
Adjective:	Fanatanian
Title:		The Great

Spoiler :

(yes, I made some typos, I know, but let's hope we don't get a start like that. That test started on the cattle to the north).

 

[Provolution]

Hey, some of us really meant Fanatannia (Fanatania could be any Fanatannia is like Britannia )

 

[Civanator]

I say Fanatish instead of Fanatannians. Britannia to British, Fanatannia to Fanatish

Maybe for the noun have Fanatains? and adjective Fanatish?

 

[DaveShack]

Since there is no more movement on this, I'll take a risk on polling support for the option that Chiefess posted, primarily because its the one which puts everything together. Gotta poll something if we're ever going to get started.

Do you accept the country name and titles as listed in the first post?
Yes
No (please list the changes you would like to see)
Abstain

Name:		Citizens
Formal:		Fanatannia
Noun:		Fanatannians
Adjective:	Fanatanian
Title:		The Great

 

[Ashburnham]

Looks good, DS.

 

[ali]

wat about Cengizicans eh eh its based on a ottoman word meaning master/ lordship

 

[Double Stack]

We are the English but I don't really care about the orgin of the word. I just want to play the game. Fanatannia is good.
