Generalized City List Inductions IV (FOR REAL!) Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Here are all of the suggestions that have not yet received enough votes to be inducted. Just so that some of you know, we probably need at least a few more to be inducted to complete out our upcoming city expansion.

I have organized these by the votes they have received in the last vote (the ones that barely didn't make it last time are at the top here), with new names (or names previously forgotten) added at the bottom.

Which name suggestions should be added to the generalized city list?

1. Vox Publica (Latin, "voice of the people")
2. Bob
3. Graceland
4. Dole (banana company, for a jungle city)
5. Astu Keirukon (Attic Greek, "city of the heralds")
6. Eisten Boulen (Attic Greek, "to the council", supposedly where the name "Istanbul" came from)
7. Lithos Basilieos (Attic Greek, "rock of the king")
8. Frog's Revenge (in memory of Grenoule)
9. The Hood
10. Prudentia Consulatae (Latin, wisdom of the consulate/consular system)
11. Catwalk (for any eastern jungle city)
12. Freedom City
13. Byrsa (named for a mythical hill near Carthage)
14. Gaetula (barbarians near Carthage)
15. Hamcilarium (after Hamilcar Barca, Hannibal's father)
16. Baalbeck (old Phoenician city)
17. Arvad (old Phoenician city)
18. Cyrene (north African city)
19. Mauretania (north African city)
20. Malta (island near Carthage)
21. None of the above (you hate all of the choices above so much that you can't bear to vote for any of them )

Geesh... look at that vote... it seems that we may just have to go with a prioritized list based upon how many votes each of these got since it seems that very few (if any) will make it over 50%.

That's not such a bad idea, either... obviously, the team is at odds about what they like and no clear majority of the team likes one thing over another... the solution then is to include the most popular selections from what each PART of the team seems to like.

Since we have several cities still to name, that wouldn't be a bad method at all.

What do people think?

I think some people didn't pay atention to what they were doing or what they were voting for exactly and only voted for 1 item.

Arn, you could also draw a line and say that all cities with for intance less than 8 votes will not be approved this time. Those cities have at least 47% of the votes, which is pretty close to 50% still.

Yeah, there's not a Consitutional requirement that says any certain percantage must be approved. Just use common sense here.

I have some specific requests about the placement of some city names...first, "Bob" should be placed right next to "Dole" ...also, Cyrene should be in Sahara (sites 9-11) and Mauretania should be in Morocco (sites 4-8)!

I'd actually like to see more names representing memebers of our team. Most people won't nominate themselves for a city name. I think the Consuls should consider more names that would honor our memebers instead of honoring ancient civilizations. Not that it's a bad thing to do so, but I think our members deserve more recognition than they are currently given.

There's some point in that, although some of the ancient names sound very good.
