    Question New name for the Gameroom Assembly Yard

    Gents and Ladies,

    During a correlation meeting, the gameroom staff all agreed that the current name of the repository of coming Mafia games, has a rather unfortunate abbreviation.
    We need a new name that is more suitable.

    This thread is for nomination of candidate names and a poll will be created in the gameroom where a final candidate will become the official new name of this sub forum by popular vote.

    Nominate away fellow gameroomers.

    Simple. We don't need a fancy name.

    The only ones I can think of are equally as funny.

    I like pever's, though. Simple enough.

    What are those reasons?

    I remembered the word because I read Lucian's "The Donkey" once. Those who knows the story will know that this is a very wrong reason to remember that word.

    Nothing like that. There's a really old/famous basketball arena in Philadelphia called "The Palestra" that I've been to a few times (I grew up 15 minutes outside the city) and really enjoyed watching the games there. It's very well-regarded.

    What worries me more, is that Sigurd just realized this, when I have constantly used terms such as "GAY priority", etc, since its creation.

    Just because staff doesn't do something right away doesn't mean that we don't notice it.

    Now that's a horrible acronym. You wouldn't believe what it means; in my native tongue that is. Far more obscene than any other word.

    I don't know, I don't think it's such a bad looking name.

    I'd.... kinda like to give it a shot. I think I can handle it.

    On a serious note, other games besides Mafia are developed/represented here, so we would prefer it if the new name of the place showcased only Mafia games.
