    Cunny warren?
    I like Citadel, anyway.

    I think we should do what econ suggested, and wait for the game to come out and then see if there isn't a building in the game we could name the forum after.

    Although I suppose it could always be renamed afterwards...

    In which case, I suppose "The Keep", "The Great Hall" and "The Grand Hall" are all okay, though not especially attractive. "Citadel" sounds okay, but is it really an appropriate name for a forum?

    I know; question mark was when wondering if there'd be any takers for the name. Cheers for the explanation nonetheless.

    How's about "Curia Regis" or King's Court/Council?

    Otherwise the Great Hall has a generally appropriate ring to it.

    If we do go with a religious theme, how about 'The Cathedral,' either for the main forum or a sub-forum.

    I have to say Basilica is my favorite name but I'm not sure which sub-forum should be named it (oops, early). Something Latin or closely derived from Latin would be nice too.

    I'd like to use the name of in-game buildings if possible. A few stood out from the screenshots so far:

    Masons Guild - for developing mods? (like the Forge)
    Alchemists Guild - for discussing mods or mod techniques?
    Assassins Guild - for multiplayer?

    But I don't know any names for the more central buildings.

    Dominus means master,not god (well maybe unless you type dominus with a capital letter,then it meens : Lord,but then you are speaking what we call 'church Latin' which is often not correct:P)

    The Grand Court?

    Haha, well, in keeping with CA's naming tradition, we should call it...

    How about:
    The Baron's Solar (or just The Solar)
    The Guildhall (I read that guildhalls are going to be in M2)
    The Gatehouse
    The Bailey
    The Guard Room

    I personally like "The Gatehouse".

    The Great Hall (I actually dined in one thus named quite often in college)

    Cathedral of Kings (since all of our alter egos will be kings essentially)

    Knights' Forum

    The Roundtable

    The Friendly Arm Inn (where we stop momentarily to interact with others and hopefully the outside world in between sieges), anyone remember where this is from?

    The Copper Coronet (if it's not copyrighted)

    Siegemasters' Guild

    Default Re: A Name for the M2TW fora ?

    The Royal Court, Great Hall, Keep, Barbican or the Citadel for the main hall.

    It could also be tied in to the MTW forums descriptions in the way of upgrades, e.g.

    Great Hall

    (MP) Military Academy, Tournament Fields

    (Mods) Inner Repository, Alchemists Guild, Master Engineers Workshop

    Or something to that effect.

    I agree with "Curia Regis". Best option IMHO.

    Yeah, I think that's my favorite so far as well.

    I'm curious as to when they'll officially set up a poll to decide the new name.
