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.
The Palaestra (wiki)
Game Construction
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.
The Groovy Bodacious Gnarly Mondo Outrageous Cerebral Imaginalogical Futuriffic Constructatastic Funological Funkatronic Space-age Phantasmatron.
Or, we could always go with "Construction Yard"
I got it.
Awfully Amazing Assembly Yard.
I love you :love:Quote:

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.
Well, I like the name. It's stylish :beam:
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. :wink:Quote:

I had Mafia Idea Levigation Facility as a suggestion, but it was shot down immediately.

I'd.... kinda like to give it a shot. I think I can handle it.
Manufacturing Area For Internet Activities?
Bit of a mouthful, but the acronym's nice. xD

I'm glad to see more people jumping on the acronyms... those are great, TC. :P
The Brilliant Mafia Factory?
The Mafia Nightly Times, giving you information on all the greatest upcoming games.
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.
