Our Capital (Naming) 2

[Dell19]

Here are the two choices that led after the first poll:

Regia Civitas

and

Elysium

Feel free to vote for either one, even if you voted for the other name before.

 

[heliogabalus]

There were some choices in the first poll that I definitely would have preferred to "Regia Civitas" or "Elysium". The former sounds artificial to me, and for the latter - we are not yet in Paradise! Therefore, I liked the "Crater/ Crater Lake" idea, as it is quite descriptive of the new situation at the crashed spaceship site.

Didn't you say, Dell, that you would listen to suggestions made in the first poll thread and include the names that were seconded in a new thread? It seems better and "more procedurally correct" to me if we did that and took the first 2 or 3 of this extended poll into a final, decisive poll. Or do you think most of the people have voted already and had the chance to vote for their favourite possibility?

 

[Dell19]

Most people had voted, I believe. Any new suggestions did not seem very popular and no one objected when I suggested created a second final poll with just two options so I thought their were no new contenders.

 

[heliogabalus]

alright. we'll have some more cities to name soon...

 

[starlifter]

Tight race.... dead heat .

Come on Regia Civitas!!

I don't know how anyone can vote for Elysium, some people have a funny idea about how an empire should look. We are (hopefully) going to create a Global Empire that will conquer all before it but people will fear us less if our capital sounds like some sort of dodgy health drink. Its like the time some people tried to call my province Ariel in the last game!!

"The Peoples Capital" - REGIUS CIVITAS.

Think latin, think Rome, think Empire........

 

[Kev]

For some reason, I am unable to vote. I'm getting the message that "this action cannot be done" or something.

Just add one more to Elysium and I'll refrain from actually voting in the poll (so as not to have 2 votes).

 

[Dell19]

Okay so its 7-5 to Elysium so far, which means that the result from the last poll has been turned around so far although there are more people to vote.

 

[Ren]

I still wish it were Alpha, but now I'll go with Regius Civitas

 

[kmad]

i know!! call it eminem69

 

[anarchywrksbest]

I think there is such support for both these names that our second city should be named after whichever is the runner-up....

 

[Dell19]

That would be a good idea, but it does loook like Elysium will win because we need to add Kev's vote to it.

 

[anarchywrksbest]

As Keeper of the List of City Names I am concerned that right now there appears to be a draw

Regia Civitas - 13
Elysium- 12 (plus Kev's vote)=13

One more vote will swing it but in which direction.......

 

[MonkE]

With all the names in the registry, I can't believe there are only 26 votes!

Being new in town I don't want to make any enemies.
So I flipped a coin...

It picked Elysium.

So now the Regia Civitas fans can mobilize the Silent Majority.
Isn't democracy great?

 

[starlifter]

What about a compromise:


Regi+sium = Regisium

 

[anarchywrksbest]

NO!! Do not butcher my brilliant latin

 

[Dell19]

Elysium still leads because of Kev's vote that doesn't appear on the actuall poll.

I like it

This is Alpha Centauri, after all, there is no latin

 

[ambuel]

Well, it said that it couldn't do the action or something to that affect. So, I vote for Regia Civitas. The other sounds sort of like assylum. Hmmm...nevermind....

LOL, that's part of what I though, too, but just didn't want to say that Assylum and Elysium sound pre-t-t-y similar .
