Jatari Bazrak Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Well Once again we are getting ever closer to having a city as everyone can tell...and we are going to need a name. This was discused once but it wasn't decided but we should get to it soon. While I was in the shower (doesn't everything happen in the shower.) I was brainstorming for ideas on a city name when I came across this name for our city... Accrodite tell me what you guys think and come up with some of your own. P.S. do you guys think we should find a name yet since the PA hall is going up soon and the patch might not be here for 3 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 SPAM!!! anyway: I feel that our name should be a serious one. Not one we got from joke. It needs to be something that reflects us as people of this PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 If we're still doing the Latin thing, how about whatever the Latin word for "unity" is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thew Rydur Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I remember a long, long time ago someone came up with Tanis. I kinda like it, pretty sure its from Raiders of the Lost Ark though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JekRendar Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I personally think we should wait. But throwing name contests up every now and then, wouldn't be too bad. Accrodite That doesn't sound too bad, but sounds more like a title or someone or a Latin insect name than a city. Maybe that could be a title that our first Mayor appoints. Tanis, I like that. Heck, it wouldn't sound bad as our PA Name. But, Tanis, by itself sounds dull. It doesn't have any strong letters in it, like "d", or "b", or "ch". So, we need something to follow it, like Valley, Lagoon, or Gully. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 ::ponder...ponder:: I think Tanis is one of the main characters in the Dragonlance series. If it's not Tanis it's something close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setsuko Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Tanis: A titular see, suffragan of Pelusium in Augustamnica Prima, capital of the fourteenth district of Lower Egypt. Tanis (in Egyptian Zani, in Hebrew Zoan) was situated on a branch of the Nile, to which it gave its name. It was one of the oldest cities in the world, as the Bible bears witness (Num., xiii, 23), and hieroglyphic inscriptions attest its existence under Pharao Pepi I Merira of the sixth dynasty. It flourished especially under the pharoas of the twelfth dynasty, under the Hyksos, or shepherd kings (fifteenth to seventeenth dynasties), under the pharoas of the nineteenth, twenty-first, and twenty-third dynasties, who had made Tanis their capital. It was under the shepherd kings that the Jews installed themselves in Egypt in the land of Gessen, near Tanis, and it is in this city which was the residence of Rameses II, that Moses and Aaron performed many wonders (Pa. lxxvii, 12 and 43). It is a mistake to confound Tanis with the Ramesses built by the Israelites (Ex., i, 10 and 11) and situated very probably at Tell-Rotab. The Prophet Isaias (xix, 11-13; xxx, 4) denounced Tanis and the Jewish politicians who had recourse to its kings; so too Ezechiel (xxx, 14 and 18), who announced its approaching destruction. Jeremias, who also pronounced (ii, 16) anathemas against the city, was forced to follow the Jews thither after the conquest of Palestine by Nabuchodonosor (Jer., xliii, 7-10; xliv, 1; xlvi, 14). In these last passages however the Bible uses Thacphanes or Thaphanhes, in Latin Taphnes, and it is not absolutely certain that this is the same as Tanis,some identifying Taphnes with Tell Dafaneh, about seventeen miles from San or Tanis. setsuko: always got her background info checked (to inane levels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatari Bazrak Posted August 16, 2003 Author Share Posted August 16, 2003 allright nice now I just need to read it. no I read it and it's good nice back ground now just to see you in game. (can't wait to see you in-game when you can come in. and are you back from travels?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Yup, I better be back from my travels, since school starts this Monday! So yes, I'm pretty nervous, meeting the new teachers, my school mates, and such. Since I'll be in a small class (14-16), it's more important than usual that you get along with them, I guess. I'll just try to be at my most charming, and not scare them away, and everything will turn out OK. Perhaps I'll sneak out of town again this Christmas. But until then, I'll stay put.

Jackrabbit Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Just be yourself Set, and they'll be sure to like you. If they don't, you can just slay them in the night >=). Anyway, I'm not crazy, check this out... "Insane, desperate rage twisted Tanis's face. Somehow he'd make Raistlin listen to reason! Somehow they would all use this strange magic to escape! Tanis started forward, then stopped. From nowhere - seemingly - had come a small silver dagger, long concealed, fastened to the mage's wrist by a cunning designed leather thong. 'All right,' Tanis said, breathing heavily. ... That's from Dragons of Spring Dawning, book three in the Dragonlance series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Vessen Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Well I have a suggestion on how to get a name. We are settled on Naboo as many of you know. Naboo's cities have an emphasis or sort of lean on the letter E. Like Deeja Peak, Theed, Kere, and Moenia. So I was thinking we should have a name that has some E sounds, to kind of fit in with the feel of the planet. I like Socius. That could possibly be our PA name. He's my city suggestion; Teyren.

Murashu Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Teyren sounds too close to that corellia city I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Masterfully done Vessenn ! I think you hit the nail right on the head with the kind of name we need. And yes, I agree with Murashu; Teyren sounds too much like Tyrena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
