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.
You would? Or you would not.Quote:

That's not even remotely funny.
"Assembly Yard" would work, you don't need "Gameroom" part.
We need to work two more words starting with a into that.

Yeah, we'd prefer it if the new name DID NOT showcase only Mafia games. :oops:Quote:

Don't worry, GH, that's how I am.
In all seriousness, this is the best one that is not related only to mafia.Quote:

Okay guys, it's time to stop screwing around. Here is the new name, and you WILL all agree it is the best one.

Oh ATPG, we are not worthy of your council only say the word and we shall be...contentQuote:
