    Default Name this forum

    Now that the M2TW is out, it is a good time to name this forum. We had a lot of good suggestions a while back:

    https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=69319

    I've narrowed them down to a shortlist of four based on the number of posts supporting them. The Citadel got far and away the most nominations, and I personally think that's the best name... not that I am trying to sway the poll or anything.

    Note - "curia regis" is Latin for Royal Court or King's Court.


    There were fewer suggestions for the MP forum. Now that M2TW is out, the name that leaps out to me is the "Tourney Field", as that is an actual building in the game. However, I've included in the poll two other variations on that theme suggested by members.


    Please vote ONCE for the SP forum and once for MP. Note: the MTW SP forum is called the Main Hall and the MP forum is called The Jousting Fields.


    I will leave naming the modding forums to the mod mods, but they have several some good names to choose from (The Armoury was a favorite of members but The Mason's Guild and the Inner Repository may sound good too).

    Well, Tourney Field for MP sounds misleading as the MP forum is not about tourneys. Why cannot we use the old MTW names? Barracks and Jousting Fields are perfect names. If not, then I would suggest the name "Meeting Ground" for a general MP forum.

    Also IMO the MP voting should be moved to the MP forum.

    I agree with Cheetah. Why not name this place the Main Hall, and then re-name the current Main Hall?

    I disagree. The Main Hall is, well, it is "THE" Main Hall. It has always been MTW-related and it would just feel.. wrong to name the M2TW SP forum the Main Hall.

    Since MTW came out, my old lurking bones came to warmth of the Main Hall, in search of much needed information and help.

    I would become deeply depressed seeing my beloved old Main Hall destroyed, put in ruins and occupied by M2TW posts...

    Just my humble and conservative opinion

    But I do agree with Cheetah the voting for the MP-forum name belongs in the MP section.

    But the name 'Main Hall' doesn't really make any sense for the MTW forum any more-since it's no longer the 'Main' hall.

    I voted for the great hall. All of the names are decent though.

    I understand the logic behind this. However, my sentiments are the same as AndresTheCunning's.

    Isn't The List a Scottish entertainment guide for Edinburgh and Glasgow?

    I don't think I can do that - but I'll make a redirecting post there.

    I don't find that funny at all. That's a classic example of push polling!

    You should have just put the names up without comment.

    BTW, I think the second entry "The Curia Regis", should just be listed as "Curia Regis".
