I say we go for red. We need to start right away and Sweetacshon's arguement to me makes the case.

 

[robboo]

The save..is now officially overdue. So you can hope to see our save any time.

So Settle red....My decision with only one negative opinion on settling red.

 

[BCLG100]

ok i'll settle red, warrior heading north west into the forest, then continuing north west for awhile

 

[robboo]

did you get the save? or is it still over due

 

[BCLG100]

Crucially people, were going to need to decide what to name the cities, do i get to choose as first term prez etc, do we vote? or do we just have a list which i randomize from?

 

[robboo]

I think someone said to name it Thunder Falls. makes sense its on a river

 

[BCLG100]

ok but that doesnt help so much for the future.

 

[robboo]

well that covers the NEED now we will cover the future

 

[Emp.Napoleon]

You can ask us. In past ISDGs we had a list of names we used. Whenever a person posts a city name, it goes on the list, and eventuallly gets on the map. But the first city is always Thunderfall related

 

[croxis]

I think when we plan to make a city people can throw out some suggestions and the turn player can pick the best one.

 

[RegentMan]

My choice would have been settle in place, by the by.

Regarding city naming, we can create a thread dedicated to proposing names, or we can just suggest names a few turns before we settle the city. The latter would be easiest, and it would let us use the landscape should we desire.

For the capital name, I propose Lake Fortaleza. It stems from the end of the ISDG, with an arousing post by Donovan Zoi:

In case anyone was wondering, the selection of CGN targets before our demise was intentional. We at CFC have no gripe with CDZ, knowing that conquest is their instinctual domain and was therefore expected.

However, when the cultural example of greatness in our world (CGN) decides to go along for the ride and elects to instill psychological warfare on its enemy through the renaming of units, we just had to take the parting shot. We at CFC are neither *****s nor morons, and do not appreciate the inference. It is important to remember, even in the heat of battle, that you are playing this game with actual people.

All in all, a great and memorable game. And from the ashes settling in Lake Fortaleza, CFC shall one day rise again.

I think it would be fitting.

 

[Emp.Napoleon]

Wow, I agree, let's go for Lake Fortaleza. That is great.

 

[BCLG100]

Why Lake Fortaleza?-what does it mean? i disagree that we should be looking at past cfc games for influence, this is a new game new people- i like the idea of everyone throwing around a few names before settling. i think if were going along Thunderfall lines it should be 'Thunder Falls' as our first city.

 

[classical_hero]

Thunder falls should be our first city's name. The other name can be for our next city.

 

[lost_civantares]

I agree with Classical_Hero, we are lead by Thunderfall, and so we should the most important city after him too.

For our second city though, I'm open to Lake Fortaleza (though the ones who don't know the backstory will think us crazy for naming it that when there's no lake! )

 

[robboo]

OK maybe you gusy can start a back story thread on teh name...we need somethig to read while those other teams drag this out waaaaaayyyyy longer than what they should have.

Missing the first turn like this only makes me think that this team may be one of the few that cant finish this game due to lack of interest.

 

[Karl Townsend]

for the name of city we should put our teamlist in alpha betical order
then go and in order

eg

karl
robboo

i would go first and id get to name the city whatever we want could we suggest we do it this way after we name our first city
casue i do aggree with classical

 

[BCLG100]

The problem with naming it lake forteza or whatever is that some of us are on different civ3 ISDG teams-same reason why so much can't be given away. For instance for some obscure reason- (who knows why) im on team poly-think oct recruited me.

I dont mind naming it that if others want to go for it but i do think that this ISDG should be seperate as much as possible from the previous one.

 

[robboo]

I think BC has a point...its new game new ISDG. Lets try to not use retreads.
