My plan was to use it in the poll, but I saw that you had stolen the thread from the last guy so...

I guess I'm gonna have to do some base location polls soon too... bah, and I just wanted to approve a bunch of rushes

That contained bases like Spamton-on-Fungus, where there was endlesss discussion on where to place and what to do with 'green' 'clean' 'four wheel drive' upgraded armoured rovers.

How about we delete any suggestions that have been polled and failed to get more than one vote? Might shorten that list a bit, and get some nice shiny new ones

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

btw, we've now fought our first conventional battle near Capricorn, so I move that we rename it to either mine or DBTS' suggestions of 'The Earth Plague' or 'End of Innocence'.

EDIT: That is, the tile that the battle took place on.

How about "Death by the Spoon" that's a nice name, I think we all agree.

And what are you suggesting that name for? The site of our first battle?

And for the basename poll I'll try to pick ones that have done well in previous polls... if there are more than 22 though (24 - xenobanana and write in), I'll just start snipping

Could you please also include "Fungal Lake City" and "We Sit Together"? I had these names in mind specifically for a base between the Ruins, and a base bordering that two-tile fungal lake beneath the Ruins. I presume that if we still expand on land, those two locations will be among the first to be colonized.

2) Spamton-on-Fungus
3) Chatterville
4) DBTSverse Portal

By Maniac's request:
5) Fungal Lake City (next to an inland lake covered with fungus)
6) We Sit Together (for a city in the middle of the ruins)

do NOT include flashpolis. not only is flash just an åsshole who has been following me around posting in all the threads i did (he did it in the CtPDG too), but nobody in their right mind would vote for it.

besides, he isn't even a citizen

In case we would start renaming liberated Hive bases, I'd like to offer two suggestions:

Hmm, what does everyone think, should we rename captured Hive bases? Sounds good, it's just more work for me

Yes, rename them. No way in hell should we be running a faction containing bases with names like 'Seat of Proper Thought' or 'Yang Mine'.

So rename the objectionable ones? or all of them?

or are they all objectionable?

Just rename the more objectionable ones, although off the top of my head I can't think of any name that would be acceptable...
