Trimming down the Proposed Names.

[Cyc]

We as a Nation are mulling around the idea of giving our new Nation a new name. There have been quite a few suggestions and I expect quite a few more, so this informational poll is to trim the number of initial suggestions to ease the selection process. More names nay be added to the next poll of names.

Simply chose a name that appears interesting to you as a possible name for the Nation we will begin next.

I will also be starting a poll asking if you want to chose a new name for the new Nation. Some of you may want a repeat. that's what the next poll is for. If this is how you feel, post in the next poll dealing with this. Posting to this poll should be for alternative names.

The discussion leading to this poll is here.

This poll will only be open for 1 day.

I like both Phoentasia and Fanatic translated to tribe language. One problem with the translation thing though - what if we end up with a tribe that we can't translate? Anybody know Macedonian?

Shouldn't this be "multiple choice" if we're just trying to "trim it down"?

 

[donsig]

We should name our new nation Abstainia.

 

[Shaitan]

Or maybe "Absentia"?

 

[disorganizer]

Argh. No Abstain.
Well, i would have liked to abstain because:

1) no abstain
2) dicoworld should be discordia
3) fantic in tribe language should be fanatica in tribe language
4) this poll should be multiple choice! with the first 3-4 options to be taken into a normal poll

@cyc: could you please redo it?

 

[Cyc]

This is just the first trim list. I'll take the names that do the best and move them onto the next list with the new suggestions. If we made it multiple choice, it would just be harder to trim. You'll get another chance to vote on the names of this list that do well.

Dis, I realized afterwards that it should be Discordia. Sorry, Discordia will be on the second list.

There probably isn't a translation for Fanatica in other languages. It would probaly just revert back to Fanatic.

So, tomorrow's poll will be non-multiple choice also (with Discordia, I promise), and I will NOT put an ABSTAIN on it.

I wonder if Ehecalt Atzin wants to propose an Aztec name...

 

[Cyc]

I dunnooo. He sounded kinda iffy as far as actually proposing one.

Actually, my idea was not to translate it, but to make it spelt in a different way to make it sound like Fanatics, Fanatica, etc. when spoken.
