Help name the Multiplayer Forum

[Monk]

The Singleplayer forum got a fancy new name so now it's on you all to help decide the new name of the Multiplayer forum. The format in Parliament worked really well so I hope Martok doesn't mind if we run the same here. .Orgahs will be able suggest certain names they'd like to see used and after a while we'll hold a vote.

The name picked will be the name for the general area. We'll be accepting names for around ten days and then hold a poll open for the same amount of time. Maybe a little shorter if it's a total land-slide.

Please put all suggestions for future names in this thread. :yes:

Wasnt it going to be the Redoubt?

[Jochi Khan]

Redoubt...I propose or second this name...:yes:

[Fisherking]

I have been thinking about this for quite some time.

Giving the forum a period name I think is an excellent idea. But something with a touch of flavor and to reflect its multiplayer feel.

Parliament and Redoubt have to be some of the most boring and flavorless names for this to date!

It was the Era of The Coffee House, Gentleman’s Lodges, held in coffee houses or pubs and of scientific enlightenment.

Everything was conducted in the coffee house. Lloyd’s of London is named for the coffee house it operated from. The exchange operated from a coffee house. The Army and the Navy both had their special coffee houses where the officers gathered. All business and ideas originated there and was only ceremonially acted on elsewhere.

Lodges were gentlemen’s gathering which too place in various establishments but had their own special names. Lodges were popular throughout Europe but had their start in 17th century Scotland. There were traveling Lodges with the Navies and Armies as well.

Academies also made their appearance in the era, be they scientific or military.

Names of this nature avoid government types in the name and don’t have a Royal or Republican image to uphold.

I would rather start people to think along period lines rather than offer names at this time.

Gentlemans club? or duelling club?

[Emperor of Graal]

Barracks??

[tibilicus]

The casemate?

[Tomisama]

The War Room

:book:

[Martok]

In addition to seconding the Redoubt, I would also suggest Artillery Park. (I believe original credit goes to Nelson for first mentioning it as a possible name for the Parliament.)

[Fisherking]

Well, not all sound so 18th century but a few are at least close.

If we are looking for something with just a touch of that in it may I suggest something like

The Bureau of Armaments.

Maybe the Admiralty or the War Office would sound a bit better but include only land or sea in those titles.

The War Room

:book:



:rtwyes::crown: I like this one!

[KozaK13]

Like the grailknights war room :beam:

[Tomisama]

I like War Room, but it sounds too World War II.

Department of War , War Department , or War Office would be more in line with the times.

Most of all now think that The General's Tent or Commander’s Tent thas right feel to it.


I guess Poop Deck is out :laugh4:


Looking for more :study:

[Emperor of Graal]

The Warmonger's Bureau?

[Fisherking]

Yeah! That is right up there next to Graves Registration.

[Martok]

I second the Admiralty and the War Office as well. :2thumbsup:

[Hosakawa Tito]

The League of Gentlemen.
The Crow's Nest.
The Quarter-Deck.
The Gun Deck.

[t1master]

[LittleGrizzly]

How about LittleGrizzly an excellent name choice in my opinion!

[Monk]

We'll probably close this thread Thursday and then run the poll until ETW's release date, that way it can be up for a full week the day after ETW hits.

We'll have an officially renamed forum then. :yes:

Since this is a place to rest and talk between battles, The Campfire could be an option?
