Help Us Name Our New Worlds!

How about famous mathematicians from Abel to Zermelo!

How about list of fallen cities as I do expect one day all these new worlds will one day meet the same fate.

1. " Lost" Cities - Sparta, Atlantis, lemuria, Carthage, Ciudad Perdida, Troy, Skara Brae, (ancient) Memphis, Taxila, Sukhothai, Timgad, Mohenjo-Daro, Hatra, Petra, Sanchi, Hattusa, Chan Chan, Mesa Verde, Leptis Magna, Persepolis, Urgench, Vijayanagara, Calakmul, Palmyra, Ctesiphon, Hvalsey, Ani, Tiwanaku, Pompeii, Teotihuacan, Tikal , Machu Picchu

2 Ancient Civilizations ie Babylon, Midian, Aztec, Mayan, Kush, Askum, Yam, Xiongnu, Greco-Bactria, Yuezhi, Mitanni, Tuwana, Mauryan, Indo-Greek, Assyrian, Hittite etc.

3 Famous Explorers - see list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_explorers

4. Pirates - Bonny, Roberts, Porter, Drake, Morgan, Laffite, Read, Beniowski, Bellamy, etc

Think of the history events that could be connected to these....many people haven't heard of portion of the cities or civilizations or explorers...and they connect to people all over the world.

Ok pirates would just be plain fun...and they are multi cultural too, there were some famous Chinese pirates, that most people haven't heard of either. Zheng Shi, also called Ching Shih She was even more feared then Blackbeard.

let's see you can use a list of Indian tribes names
North American - https://www.federalregister.gov/doc...vices-from-the-united-states-bureau-of-indian

India tribal names - http://www.importantindia.com/3882/list-of-names-of-various-tribal-groups-communities-in-india/

South American - http://www.native-languages.org/south-america.htm

Australian - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indigenous_Australian_group_names

Indigenous peoples - Caribbean - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Caribbean

Just to name a few...again, think of it as a learning opportunity - how many people know anything about these tribes and so events could be tied into the names as a learning experience.

or you can go a different route and use names of Elements

[DeletedUser8420]

If you ever visit my cities you would know I LOVE plants.

 

[DeletedUser8152]

Colors in general could work.

 

[DeletedUser28503]

I do like the sound of pink fluffy bunnies

Place your suggestions here between now and midnight EST on February 28th. We'll promote the top three to the developers for their review and those top three will receive 500 diamonds each!

Um..so..when...will we find out who won? I mean after all it is already March 9

 

[DeletedUser28503]

After reading our ideas they determined the best new world would be hidden so not to be seen and cause more pain and suffering.

That would be like @innogames

well considering that I didnt see this and replied Mar 1st, nothing I offered can be considered and thus if they use it they cannot recognize it as coming from me. grrrrr....why don't they lock these things on the end date?

Too much lag to properly administrate I bet.

That's how they get free ideas. They say that you win and since you posted late, no one gets diamonds since the winner is ineligible for the prize.

 

[DeletedUser28503]

You all do realize these are all for show right. Inno doesn't care what any of us say just gave us a place to vent and dribble for those who think they would care.

 

[DeletedUser4770]

We are trying to see how many good suggestions we could get. However, the prizes will be awarded to those who submitted by the 28th just as the contest stated.

We'll announce the winners by tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[DeletedUser4770]

Since these were all really good ideas, we've chosen three at random and once the developers actually chose the route for the new names, we'll let you know.

The winners are:

Daisy the Benevolent
Konrad the mediocre
Cassaundrea

I'd like to start of by saying Congratulations to the winners. However I'm getting pretty frustrated with the "random" winners on contests like this. Maybe its because I always lose, but I could have had a terrible idea and still have won. I think when it comes to creative contests like this it should be judged on substance not random. Also, how are these creative posts winners decided randomly?

 

[bomber9530]

If you're not going to take the time to actually judge entries, might as well just give everyone diamonds for even participating in the first place.

B for Bernoulli. Thanks Inno!
