Caterane 03-25-04, 01:46 PM	Hi all it`s about time to find a good name for the city where the arena is located. I would like to see everyone who cares about roleplaying participate. Please don`t suggest "Arena town" or something similar because that`s really boring. Choose your name well because once decided we will stick to it for all eternity. You see, that`s a difficult decision. I`ll add my proposals some days later. Ok, post on Cat
kattattack22 03-25-04, 02:01 PM	My suggestions some serious some not. 1) Europroctus* 2) Runeagon 3) Vakor 4) Muukak 5) Rome (had to try) 6) Silver Dragon 7) Keltset 8) Irixilithan 9) Enculetetemerde* 10) Zanon 11) Zanzania* 12) Klatnik 13) Auir 14) Rogun *- not serious suggestions funny as they would be. If anyone needs an explantion maybe I will tell why if people ask nicely. More to come later when I think of more.

JosephKell 03-28-04, 02:50 PM	If it didn't involve trademark infringement, I would suggest Ebou Dar. Those that get the reference would probably agree it would be perfect.
Tellish_of_Ket 03-28-04, 02:54 PM	You forgot one Mike. "The Town that Spike Built." LOL I think we have some pretty decent names already. Maybe if we can do this in multiple votes. Like put 10 names on a poll...the top 5 vote-getters carry on to the next poll, then the top 3, the top 1 of those three would then be the chosen name. Just a suggestion. -ToK
MotherBast 03-28-04, 08:29 PM	Ebou Dar... the city where everyone dules at the drop of a hat.... Still, they don't get paid for it. In our city, you do... Since the arena has now become home to the "pitlords", I guess that makes the arena "the pit." With that in mind, I suggest the arena be named PITTSBURGH!!!!!!!! So, what do ya think?
Battousai2005 03-29-04, 10:02 PM	Ahh, fellow WOT fans. Great to meet ya! Anyway, suggestions... Yah... Rome(hey, they did invent the arena) Daiken(you may like this. Translation: Big Sword) Darkcrest (another WOT) Shadar Logroth(shadows waiting) I thought Ebou Dar was good. Too bad this isn't the Wheel of Time RPG. Dnd is much more fun tho. And the ultimate (not too serious) suggestions: Colosimville Arenatown Anyway, thats all for now
kattattack22 03-29-04, 10:29 PM	Originally Posted by Joseph Kell If it didn't involve trademark infringement, I would suggest Ebou Dar. As much as I love Wheel of Time, lets not steal from another fantasy series otherwise I might have to use ones from the Shannara or Dragon Nimbus series. Originally posted by Battousai2005 Rome(hey, they did invent the arena) Yay, another vote for Rome! Originally posted by Battousai2005 Darkcrest Sounds cool and original. I like it. Originally posted by you know who Spikesville Spike-O-rama Spike-A-rony Spikemeister The Town at the Edge of Spike Spikesfield Uhhh... no. (to all of them) Originally posted by Motherbast PITTSBURGH!!!!!!!! I applaud MotherBast's reasoning for this choice (Also its the home of the greatest American football team, ever.), but it just seems wrong to me. Seriously, I liked my suggestions of Klatnik and Runeagon, but I still think there are some better suggestions out there that could be original and have meaning for the city (like the agon in Runeagon is the Greek word for struggle). Rome would just be cool to imagine our gladiators fighting in. Originally posted by Tellish of Ket Maybe if we can do this in multiple votes. Like put 10 names on a poll...the top 5 vote-getters carry on to the next poll, then the top 3, the top 1 of those three would then be the chosen name. I like it, but would there to be more suggestions first. There still is a lot people we haven't heard from.
LLMadCow 03-30-04, 03:48 AM	Well, after much consideration, here are my initial thoughts on the city and the names within..... The name for the city as a whole: Gladius Now, going with the theme of burroughs or sections of the city having thier own names, here is what I also have come up with... The 'Bad' side of town: Vilis The 'Good' side of town: Kailo The Marketplace(s): Upper and Lower Merx The Wharf/Docks: Duken (Marina?) The Magical Community: Arcadivus Housing for the general populace: Kelartus Housing for the nobility: Arkhein (Heights) Also, I think there should be a small number of notable locales... Moher Square - A nice open square where festivities and such occur... Cats Ally - A gathering place for bards and poets to share stories and such... Jindl Park - Think 'Central Park'... And perhaps there is room for... LL Lane Snark Street Tellish Court Mag ??? Etc, etc. There may be more to follow, it depends on inspiration...
Tellish_of_Ket 03-30-04, 06:26 AM	The Tellish House. Where the arena's most successfull Assassin, Kelek, tries to twist and weave his dirty little plots to corrupt the heirarchy and trains new, wannabe rogues and assassins. -ToK
Caterane 03-30-04, 07:34 AM	and not to forget: Motherbast`s drugstore
Jindl 03-30-04, 09:14 AM	Well, I know we have just called it the "Tavern" in the past, but you know there is an actual resturant and bar that the gladiators hang out at. It's even run by one of the original gladiators. Yep, I'm talking about: The Fugue Plane - This local tavern hosts many of the colloseum gladiators. The proprietor, Rito Maya, named the establishment after his favorite vacation spot and home away from home. Indeed, the place blends the famous monk's three true loves: eating, drinking, and the afterlife. Several arena combatants are known to frequent the Fugue Plane, including Laness DeVille, Donkey, Aiki Auk, and Irlina's entire stable of gladiators. The Harvester twins are known to reside in one of the spacious suites upstairs, though they rarely make appearances in the tavern itself. For those who wish to visit the Fugue Plane, just stop and ask any of Jindl's gladiators, and they'll be happy to, uh, give you directions ... :heehee -Jindl
LLMadCow 03-30-04, 11:23 AM	Yes, fun commentary, but I really want to know what you think of the names and MY thoughts on the idea. I do think that props can be given to many of the Gladiators. If you want the The Fugue Plane to be an actual, bar, let me know. There is already the Diving Falcon and the Rusty Nail.
kattattack22 03-30-04, 08:01 PM	I like the name Gladius. It fits well being the traditional short sword of Roman gladiator. The districts are cool. But where is the orderly and choatic and neutral parts of town? The Fugue Plane tavern is a neat idea. *mumble* Ony Ampitheatre... Yes, I like that idea... *mumble* Worlen Wharf... another good suggestion.. yes...
xeno_eleusis 03-31-04, 02:17 PM	Snogard is my vote
Kazzaroth Pan'theon 04-02-04, 02:58 PM	Gladius gots my vote (and also for the idea that there are different named parts of in town). I have few ideas of my own; -Dakharta -Zandras -Dormek -Véuna -Ortmach -Wuslavon -Dark Keep -Blackford -Bloodmairen -Steelforge -Undercity (is located under of named city as illegal part of larger town) -Crimsonvalley
freemoody 04-18-04, 01:02 PM	I think it'd be wierd to name the biggest city in the world after a sword. (Gladius) I just don't like mixxing fantasy and real life. Speaking of which, we should name the World also. I want to name my character after it.
LLMadCow 04-18-04, 04:12 PM	Legendary in it's own right... A place where warriors live and die by the sword and spell.... The Elves call it XXXXX, or Endless Battle as it is known in their tongue.... The Dwarves call it XXXX, or Moradins Forge as it is known in their tongue.... [Follow up with various other racially themed names] In the common tongue it is simply known as... GLADIUS
