	Base Naming Sugjestions Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Here is a thread for sugjesting Base names, so far we have used the Default names but I am shure were all eager to spice up the game with more personalized names.

I sugjest we use a NAME INDUSTRY format, inwhich NAME is the name of one of our members and INDUSTRY is some game related industry or product hopefully set us in such a way as to mimic a real corporation or provide some usefull information too use like what the bases purpose is.

My first sugjestions

Micha Soft (a good name for a Science City)
Impaler Polymers (I work in the Plastic Industry)
Scorpicorp Armaments
Chaunk Group
AndiD Pharmacuticals
Archaic Tecnologies (another Science City)
jtsisyoda Farms (supermarket to the world)
Aaron PlasmaSteel

Let's not forget about the Gods.

Starting with, in Alphabetical Order,

Buster
Drouge
Googlie
Hong Hu
Kody
Method

These Deities of Commerce should be honored and respected for all that they are worth.

We should include them in the naming of some of our finest cities.

Mead

EDIT: Added Drouge and Method. They are, of course, amoung the greatest.

I guess Mead had too much Mead when he initially posted.

Anyway I don't like Whoha Wharfs. It isn't long enough or silly enough, but the first naval base is going to get named that despite my objection isn't it

Let's come up with something you like then. Anybody know off hand what the character limit is for a base name?

Prefer that we use Bases just for our players and honor the Gods by naming parts of the Land Scape, after all bases come and go but the map is "relativly" stable so its more fitting to comemorate the gods in that way.

First off Mount Drouge with more to come later. Perhaps name our river as well.

Third base: Morgan Magma.

Or Mead Magma, or Micha Magma.

I'd prefer something more traditional, such as Morgan Volcanics or Morgan Endogeology.

Endogeology is traditional in base names?

What about renaming Morgan Industries to ScorpiCorp...

Here's an idea:

Every product with a 'ScorpiCorp' would be nice!

We should definitely name a base ScorpiCorp-- it's too good to resist. Maybe the HQ should be something more universal to the faction, though.

What about having base names with no relevance to their function, so we'd need to be probed for them to know what we plan?

I'd like #endgame's Castle of ZZT, but that's just me. Besides, I have our former army to worry about and a base would be too much effort on top of that.

For a Base located on the upper slopes of Mt. Drouge I would recomend something Geothermal. So its just a matter of picking someone to honor (dont worry everyone will get their chance eventualy). We could go for direct rank based assignments giving elected officials first dibs and gradualy working down to lower ranks. Or we could aim for Aliteration as a goal, Aaron Armaments, Chaunk Credit, Micha Machinery...

Lets agree first on a style for our base naming first so we can be consistent.


P.S. Scorpio4000, now that your using Morgan as your Avatar I am getting you confused with Aaron. I apreciate your Capatalistic leaning but I think its best to have everyone using a differnt avatar (so I dont have to read names). I would be glad to assist you in finding a new avatar that could express your pride in Morgan industries.

BOOO! Let him use whatever avatar he wants. I go by Scorpi's reddish flag to differentiate him.

P.S. Don't pick the cow. That's my avatar. j/k
