Call it the "Jack memorial city", and transfer ownership to me.

Alternatively, make it a HIVE OF SCUM AND VILLAINY - we don't yet have a seedy under-city where we can solicit the services of prostitutes and kill beggars.

Well, there's Serenwilde, but that's a commune, not a city.

Okay, yea, no. Magnagora's the one with beggars you kill. tongue.gif

We don't kill beggars. We make them work for us.

"Deepnight, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany."

"I'm ready for anything."

No, in Magnagora they solicit the services of beggars and kill prostitutes.

We should create a Pirate Utopia

(For those of you who haven't read Hakim Bey, remember the pirate island in Pirates of the Carribean?)

That would be quite possibly the coolest thing in IRE ever.

I say you call it 'Super Happy Fun Land'.

If you don't particularly like my scheming or ideas, you can cut and run here, for all others, I'd love some input.

I got the name "Deepnight" when I was a C-level player in Aetolia, and finally got my own clan. I wanted a clan of super assassin that I could send after anyone that ticked me off, and I'd be all kinds of feared. It was dubbed "noctus altus" which comes out to "deep night", if babel fish has not mislead me. It was kind of fun, but eventually I left Aetolia to join Lusternia.

The aethercity itself is like Venice at night, with the plaza being quite similar to Red Square at Western Washington University.

This is kind of an attempt to bring all the ideas together, start making it into a "real" area (check the map in my sig), and to bring it back into the main story a bit, instead of my own little tangent.

Something isn't clicking in my head right now, and I had a flash of... something. I was going to suggest the name "Haven", but I remembered Ialie's is too close to that... Kind of screws up my post. >_<

Could call it "Sanctum"...

Ideas, suggestions, keep it the same?

It is indeed -very- aetolia, which means half the Administration is not going to be inclined to help if you ever need anything for it. tongue.gif Beside that, there's cooler names than just two words put together, but since your manse is already in creation you cannot change it anymore. oldie.gif

What's wrong with Aetolia? *eye*

And I sort of got used to the name. It's not all -that- bad, if you say it quickly, and with a lisp. biggrin.gif

It's Aetolia-ish? Just cause they had one city with two words shoved together... sad.gif I thought it was very fantasy-ish. And I was under the impression I shouldn't even ask for help until it was huge (like 100 people/200 rooms). And I can change my manse name, that's the point of the thread. tongue.gif

Now where's that bubble pop emoticon... sad.gif
