Since i'm the new Cartographer I believe my atlas have to be more precise so I inquire citizens to vote for the future names of the 3 oceans around us since they are the most important for now to be named

Naming Initiative said:Other geographical features, including, but not limited to: continents, mountain ranges, oceans, forests, and plains may also be named. Nomination threads for such features may be posted by any interested individual, and would follow the same procedure as in II.
See this thread. But I do think it would be better to have two separate polls to deal with the two names.
There were no secondings, and the Naming Initiative does include geographical names
Naming Initiative
Our second city Falcon's Haven was named in violation of the naming initiative, by a designated player acting on his own will. Yet it's an interesting name, and people seem to like it, so we really don't care. I figure similar things would happen with your names for geographical locations.
PS. No offense to falcon, I also quite like the name and frankly I would hate to see a city stuck with the name "City #1" as might happen were the naming initiative followed.![]()
Can he people who voted no please explain their decision to help me do my job as cartographer?
Sure. It's the signal-to-noise ratio. When we get some good names with minimal discussion I will vote yes. When we get mediocre names after much discussion, I will vote no. I will say:
- I kinda like the Equus aurum or whatever grammatical variant survives
- I accept the DP installing a placeholder name of his/her choosing
wrong thread would say...we're not talking cities here...
Well, just to let you know, I still expect a naming poll for Falcon's Haven. Was getting tired of referring to NotA as just "The Capital" and felt the same thing would happen with our second city. While I would kinda like it to remain Falcon's Haven, I take no offense if the citizens decide that they would rather have the Golden Horse name that was also proposed. I'm surprised though that there still has not been a naming poll for the city yet, and may end up posting the poll myself.
or maybe I should publish unofficial maps lol.
I think that is an excellent idea. Your maps are nice and if you want to put names on them, go right ahead. Maybe that will sway some votes towards making them official.
