New name for the Gameroom Assembly Yard

[Sigurd]

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.

Or, we could always go with "Construction Yard"

Awfully Amazing Assembly Yard.

I very much approve of this, though probably for the wrong reasons.

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.

[GeneralHankerchief]

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.

[Diamondeye]

Well, I like the name. It's stylish

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.

GRF????

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.

If you mean you were too busy laughing to do anything about it, just say so.

What about "atelier"

Oh do we want something pronounceable?

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

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.

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 Mafia Nightly Times, giving you information on all the greatest upcoming games.

[GeneralHankerchief]

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.
