Read this before you vote!
I would like to do 2 things.
First, simplify 2 city names. Second, honor former President Shade with a city name.
The first part is the 2 cities that we moved slightly. The citizens of those cities wish to return to the original names. Their argument is that they merely moved their city, not re-established them. I have to agree that there is something to be said for the original names. "Neo" and "New", however well-intentioned, get in the way and can confuse things with the first 3 letter similarity.
The second part is to continue a habit established many turns ago. In traditional Civilizations, coins are used to honor previous leaders. We do not have that opportunity here. Instead, we have named cities. I think that is a fine tradition and we should continue it.
But we have an awkward situation. One of the forward cities is already named "Shadow", and not after our previous President. Normally, it could be renamed, yet the pair have such a perfect match that I am reluctant to change them. Still, "Shadow" starts with the same letters as "Shade" and that would cause confusion also.
So, I propose that "Shadow" be renamed "Darkness" (to fit with "Light"), and that Rivertown be renamed "Shade".

I know but who says he will stay citizen forever? Maybe he will be president again(or do some other job and make a crucial decision)that make's us consider naming an other city after him.
What will we call it?Naldur's town? Nalduria secundus?
Or shaka city?
all three give 'problems' for the units-home...
I think we should rather take some time(or the president should) to take a look at our cities and which city has wich unit and where hey are stationed.(always nice to rehome some units to stay out of problems)
==> So dear historian don't worry about my mind it's still working great. I just don't see the fuss all are making.

Well, then, Shade, how about...
schaduw
First 3 letters are unique, the name is yours, nobody else can pronounce it! |
That's a good name...no problem with those first 3 letters,not 1 English word even uses that combination to start(as far as I know)...and there will be at least 2 ppl who can pronounce it: me and MdS. 
I love it.(would be nice in this row: Umbra, Shadow, Schaduw... )

Shade, your gonna miss out on the fun. If you keep insisting on not naming something more directly after yourself, then so will everyone else!!! |
I have no problem with naming a city directly after me,I don't use the 3letter shortcut for units(If I want to know where it comes from just click )
quote:
call it "&Not Shade". underline the N for effect. |
Sounds good to...but I like "Schaduw" beter...but don't let this hold any-one back to name eg 2 cities after me:
"Schaduw" and "Not-Shade"
Shade
