Naming Province #1

[mhcarver]

How about something Like Caladan,Arrakis or new Kyoto

 

[Comnenus]

Since this looks to be a very bountiful land (we can only hope it turns out that way), we could use that as a starting point.

Perhaps:

Garden of the Sun

Province of Heaven

or to keep it simple:

Bountiful

 

[Civman2004]

Oooooh I like those suggestions Comnenus

 

[Real Pave]

Indeed

 

[Provolution]

Amakudari

Descent from Heaven

 

[Cheetah]

Amakudari!

 

[Espírito]

I like Comnenus' Garden of the Sun, or even Garden of the Rising Sun (though if that's the West coast shouldn't it be Garden of the Setting Sun....

....maybe we should keep restarting until we're on the Eastern Coast ;-)

 

[Ankka]

C'mon people.

Don't you realise how cool Zarnia sounds?

I do. It sounds very cool.

 

[Cyc]

....maybe we should keep restarting until we're on the Eastern Coast ;-)

Another hilarious line that's great, Espirito!

 

[Comnenus]

(feigning humility) Thank you. I never would have dreamed of such praise, and all the praise should be reserved for my untiring staff. (looking around for non-existant staff)

 

[Comnenus]

I like Comnenus' Garden of the Sun, or even Garden of the Rising Sun (though if that's the West coast shouldn't it be Garden of the Setting Sun....

....maybe we should keep restarting until we're on the Eastern Coast ;-)

But if first tc is any indication, we'll be still getting turn one started long after the second coming! Adjectives and nouns indeed!

 

[Epimethius]

So long as its entirely Japanese (no "Neo") I don't really care.

 

[Comnenus]

So long as its entirely Japanese (no "Neo") I don't really care.

I don't think it needs to be in the Japanese language, as long as it evokes the spirit of the culture.

 

[Epimethius]

I do. Besides, "Land of the Rising Sun" is a literal translation. Most languages actually have something shorter than that (France and Franken and Land of the Franks, England is Land of the Angles, etc.). If we do that why not translate everything else? Rather than build "Tokyo" we could build "East Capital." And besides, it just makes more sense to put it in Japanese, and sounds better than something that long and unwealdy.

And on the first start we were sort of on the east coast, because we were in the middle of a thin continent.

 

[Cyc]

Hmmm, Japanese Culture/Economics....Hmmm....Hey I got it!

Sony!

 

[Comnenus]

After 24 hours, I will poll the names given in this thread (maybe for 48 hours).

Aren't we getting late on this poll?

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

oo! Fandango!
/me hums the Fandango song

 

[Zarn]

Aren't we getting late on this poll?

I'm letting things get dicussed a little bit more.

I have to figure out how I am going to poll all of this. There are alot of options here.

 

[Bobby Lee]

I would pick your top 3 or 4 favorites and poll 'em...

 

[Cyc]

Please don't put Sony on the list of options.
