Our Nations Name Poll

Based on Shattereds nomination thread, where all proposals had to get a second support nomination, we hereby present the eight following nation names:

This will be a 3 day poll, public vote, one option per voter, and we repoll the top three options with most votes until we get a name with 50 % support or more of the votes. There will be a second runoff between the two most popular options in the run-off, if needed.

1. Ivalician Empire
2. Dyphotian
3. Skiachorian
4. Cenaeads
5. Yamatokos
6. Treislofosoi
7. Aretans
8. Arethans

My vote is for Aretans since there doesn't appear to be an actual poll thing on here

 

[Provolution]

There is a poll, you probably saw the post only, then wrote this. You posted between my posting and polling part of my writing, in that narrow window.

LONG LIVE THE CENAEADIC PEOPLE!!! This name was based on Greek mythology from the invincible (invulnerable to weapons) hero, Caeneus (pronounced Kie-nee-us)!

 

[Joe Harker]

Aretans, the second one sounds like a bowel problem, the third option sounds like a mental problem, the fifth options sounds like a excotic diease that travellers get and sixth one sounds like a really really fancy brand of tooth floss!

 

[Diamondeye]

Skiachorian

 

[w00ter]

Arethans, the 'h' makes it better.

 

[DaveShack]

The short and easy to spell one.

 

[Lord Neil]

I voted for Aretans.

 

[blastoidstalker]

I voted for the one I could spell with my eyes closed. To bad Peep did not make it on the list

 

[Diamondeye]

I suggest there be a runoff poll unless one option has 50+% of the votes when the vote ends, between the two favourites (Aretans seems certain as first), as I, for one, does not like to name our tribe after our city.

 

[DaveShack]

Perhaps rename the city then?

 

[Rashiminos]

I foresee significant name changing in this game...

 

[Provolution]

That is only natural, just look at the Marcomanni/Goths/Teutons/Bavarians/Prussians/Germans/Volksdeutsche.

Arete sounds so ancient...like a City now burried in the sands of time...It's a perfect name for a city founded in 4000BC. I love the name, really I do, it's a fantastic choice for RP-history.

If Aretans wins, I propose a slight twist to Harani (pronounced Ha-rah-nee) as it sounds more like what a future Archeologist might call the stone age culture that founded such an ancient city. JMHO.

 

[Seymoo]

Excellent suggestion Kwarriorpoet. Not to devalue the effort that everyone put into thinking of names, but I think Aretans is winning mainly because all the other names are not nearly as short and catchy. Personally if Harani were up there it would have my vote. Perhaps the Harani of the land of Haran.

 

[AluminumKnight]

After the Difficulty Setting poll fiasco, do we really want to delve into repolling with new options again?

 

[Seidrik_The_Gray]

I will let the community decide what to do.

 

[Ballazic]

Perhaps rename the city then?

Preposterous

 

[AluminumKnight]

I don't understand why our name can't be derived from our capital .

Rome -> Romans
Carthage -> Carthaginians
Babylon -> Babylonians
Arete -> Aretans
